Colorado (De Las Rosa) Money Line -188 4u
Philadelphia (Happ) -1.5 -110 2u

I knew it looked too good. Col didn't show up and Philly blew it late. Oh well, can't win everyday, and it's a long season. Chin up, and looking forward to a new day.

Adding another

(Philadelphia) Team Totals Over 4.5 +150 1.5u

Up against a good starting picher, but any time I can get this lineup at +150 to score 5 runs, I'll jump at it.

[dynamitappletini]

whole lotta picks! Thanks man!

[TheCommish]

whole lotta picks! Thanks man!

Ya, probably too many for one day... But kept all the units down, and stayed around my comfort zone of 20 units.

I only get over 3.5 @ Pinnacle, BookMaker and BetUs

[donkdown]

[TheCommish]

what did you get over 4.5?
I only get over 3.5 @ Pinnacle, BookMaker and BetUs

I use Matchbook. Has the best lines around fro MLB, and keeps me from wasting money on parlays

[dynamitappletini]

alright I see will stick with Pinnacle for now, pretty good lines too and don't want to open a new book right now... Thanks for the hint anyways

Gotta love baseball

[incomeraise]

the commish, u seem to be doing pretty good, can i ask u what was ur record last year..or previous seasons thanks

[TheCommish]

the commish, u seem to be doing pretty good, can i ask u what was ur record last year..or previous seasons thanks

I didn't document my selections well in previous years, but I recall being up somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 units for the season last year.

Got off to a hot start this year, and it will likely settle down. I certainly don't expect to be up 40-50 units every month... although I'd like that, very much

Cheers
