    Maybe look for a prop that has Lidge to lead the league in BLOWN saves?

    Yeah, sadly I have to agree with Owned on this one. Lidge may not even lead his own team in saves by the end of this month, much less the league at the end of the season.

    Pujols ruined Lidge's career when he hit that earth shattering homer in the post season. Guy has been awful ever since. Like your Zombrano prop best of all those. Best of luck

    Looks like I made a mess of these wagers as of now. No home runs, saves, or wins from any of the above.

    Rangers have no shot of winning the West.

    Hafner at 15-1 has some value.

    Oh, I forgot, I also have Matt Holliday at 100-1 to lead the league in homers. Feedback. Thanks.

    All of these have negative expectation.

    I had a choice of the Mariners 5-1, and just a few more ridiculous non existent teams to win their divisions. I wish I could have gotten better odds but the public thinks that the Cubs, Phils, Brew Crew and Giants have a great chance to win their divisions. Those prices have come down to the point where 7/5 are the best odds on the non favorites.

    Bodog. Look on their website right now and you will see all of their odds for winning the division still. Where are you playing to get those great odds. The Mariners were only 5-1 to start.

    You have to find some new books. Bodog's hold on futures is astronomical. Sometimes their utter incompetence at line-setting overcomes that, but not very often.

    For futures, you need to use everyone. These aren't like single game lines where 90% of the books have the exact same price. Just about every book has the best future price on something.

    As far as season win parlays, I've never looked at that. There's too much correlation for any thinking book to offer them, but shockingly few books fall into that category so they may be out there somewhere.

    I used to be with Bowman's and they offered parlays on regular season win totals in MLB, NBA, and NFL. Of course they are now consumed. It has been hard trying to find another sportsbook that offers those wagers. I love them because it gives you action on EVERY game of the season for one price.
