Rays

**shawnjohn5** · 04-13-10, 05:51 PM

NONE OF THEM... Far better plays for the day... If I had to choose 1 of them I'd have to take NONE of them, geeez... I can't even suggest taking any of them with the +RL. If you had to play a game with decent odds, then Giants under, Toronto under, and Oakland ml aren't bad plays, but the dogs in those 3 games aren't anything to get excited about...

**shawnjohn5** · 04-13-10, 05:52 PM

Wilforth the Rays aren't an UNDERDOG... lol

**Patrick McIrish** · 04-13-10, 05:55 PM

<-------- As you can see there I think O's have a solid shot to win.

**Rio DiNero** · 04-13-10, 05:56 PM

BAL & CWS, Take it to the bank!

**suicidekings** · 04-13-10, 05:58 PM

I'm strongly behind the Jays and A's, with a small play on the Orioles

**shawnjohn5** · 04-13-10, 06:05 PM

Neither the Whitesox nor the Orioles are going to win those games... Obviously just my opinion, however the Baltimore orioles can't score, and Matusz is very inconsistent. The Rays are better in every aspect of the game, pitching, hitting, defense, not too mention just playing better baseball... Whitesox might possibly be the worst team in the AL, they are absolutely terrible, agining, bad defensively and a poor and inconsistent starting rotation... Floyd is terrible on the road and hasn't won in toronto EVER!!! His era is nearly 5 the past 3 years and is over 10 in toronto, this tornto team is better than they have been in quite some time. Peavy, Danks, Garcia, Floyd, Buerhle. None of these guys would be #2 SP's on most playoff teams, let alone a true ACE, Peavy might be done, Garcia is a project Floyd is average at best and Danks may or may not be a 1 hit wonder. Pierre, Rios, Teahan, Pierzynski, Alexei, Beckham, Konerko, that lineup isn't scaring ANYONE!!! I do thin kBeckham is going to be an absolute STUD, just not yet!!!! Obviously the WS will win 65-70 games, and any night could be on eof those days, but too wager money on them??? NOT SMART at any price!

Sorry about that. I just saw that too.

**shawnjohn5** · 04-13-10, 06:13 PM

2dabank, I would probably agree, but to the original poster General why do you have to pick 2 out of those 3 with all the other games on the board tonight?!?!

**The General** · 04-13-10, 06:16 PM

Thank you very much. I have yet to post any selections this season, but getting the temptation to jump in and give it a whirl. I am a dog bettor only with baseball. It has worked just fine over the last several years by taking a couple/three underdogs only each day I make picks. The vig with favs eats me up quickly.

Best

**2daBank** · 04-13-10, 06:22 PM

i see some love for Sea but the best argument i get is they are due and i hate that argument, not to mention these hitters that are due are not scaring anyone and oak is hot...i dont like going against hot teams or playing cold ones and in this case we have both factors working....imo Bal isnt a bad play because that kid can pitch so i imagine you will have a shot

**Jasonal_98** · 04-13-10, 06:23 PM

I like Seattle tonight. Oakland is playing over its head and Seattle has been very good against them at Safeco over the years.

**shawnjohn5** · 04-13-10, 06:25 PM

2dabank, not to argue, but you completely contradicted yourself, The rays aren't neccesarily a HOT team, but the O's are as COLD as ice... Base running mistakes, no offense to speak of, and right now are playing poorly on defense as well. Matusz can definitely pitch though and he will be a very good player I can completely agree with that. As far as Sea go's Fister is a very underrated pitcher, and Anderson is a stud, the under in that game isn't a bad play, would you say?

yea O's are cold but just saying if i had to pick 1 id take the team that is putting a guy on the mound that can shut a team down, i didnt play either side of that 1 but just saying of those 3 that would have been my choice.....was thinking bout sea/oak under myself just havnt pulled the trigger yet
