    Thursday Value Plays w/ Writeup

    I hope you all had a good All Star Break. I went 1-0 +1.18 units on Sunday.

    Mariners +186: Mariners have the best bullpen in the majors. Cleveland has one of the worst. Mariners are OPSing .750 versus lefties which isn't that bad. Indians do not have a big advantage in this contest.

    Phillies +112: The Phils are the better team in every facet. Now that they have Ibanez back and they are playing on the road, they should get really hot. Also, it doesn't hurt that Moyer plays so well versus the Fish. The Fish also swing at everything, which is why guys like Barry Zito pitch so well against them.

    I am with you on the Philadelphia Phillies +110.
    I also like the Los Angeles Angels +113 tonight.

    The Seattle tip sounds very interesting, i'll further look into that for now.

    I like seattle a lot here. There's no reason why they should be this big of an underdog when their bullpen is so solid and the Indians have been terrible. I was considering Angels, but the A's can win at home, especially with Braden on the mound. Whether Santana will be the Santana of old or the one that has been crap this season is too big of a question mark for me to have a side today.

    With you on the M's. With the line where it's at you'd have to be crazy not to take a shot on this one.

    Looks like great value. Lee has been lights out only once this year. I believe that was the Sunday night ESPN game. However Lee is capable of winning 1-0.

    Seattle is one of the lowest scoring teams in the American leage.

    Not sure about the SEA/CLE game, it can go either way.
    For the price on SEA, it is worth a shot.

    I have some other plays for today, if you need some more action:
    Chi. Cubs -118
    Colorado -122
    LA Dodgers -140

    Rockies have over 60% playing it, yet the line is not moving. Becareful with this one. Padres are coming off a seven game losing streak.

    Forget about following line movements in the MLB. I tried that for a good month and broke even.

    Why should the Indians ever be this big of a favorite? Mariners have a good defense, and solid pitching. Their offense isnt amazing, but they fare better against lefties.
