Thurs Mlb Picks/votes

[BossRoss]

Not seeing this thread up again, just the Series best bet thread, but I don't really do series picks, so here's my thursday picks and feel free to add your own picks and Votes(Even if you disagree)

PHILLY -129 and OVER 10 -103 Morales vs Kendrick, I know both of these rooks have had nice runs this year, but I personally haven't seen either yet and hate to play on pitchers I've never seen, I will mention there is a solid Over Ump here in Reynolds(20-13 10.37 this season and 5-0 13.6 L5 but just 15-14 9.24 Last year) Phills down 0-1 at home vs a tired COL team Must win today or atre likely down for the season!

CHC -128 and OVER 8.5 -114 Lilly vs Davis, Cubs down 0-1 should bounce back here vs the LHP as they are stacked with good RH hitters who should wear out the lefty, Good Over guy behind the dish in Holbrook who was 18-11 10.33 LY and is 18-13 10.82 TY(4-1 10.8 L5) for %60 Overs the Last 2 seasons!

NYY -113 and OVER 8.5 -115 Wang vs Sabathia, No Ump listed so beware the total, and I hate game ones of a playoff series because its both teams aces and really I can see either guy throwing a gem, and vs these offenses can see either guy giving up 5+ runs, so a crap shoot in this one until we get an advantage situation-wise or pitching-wise, cause right now I think CC is too good to bet against and NYY offense is too good to fade, so just an opinion on this one! Altho I HATE NY and wish they get bounced in 3 games, but I doubt that will happen!

TOP PICK: CHC/ZONA OVER 8.5 -114

VOTES: PHILLY -129/OVER 10 -103 and CHC -128

GOOD LUCK TODAY GUYS!!!

we have 3 consensus picks here : phils phils over 10
over in yanks game
am flip floppin on Cubs game still .

Good start for our Over in Philly with 3 HR's in the 1st inning(Too bad all 3 were solo shots tho) and now J-Roll adds a 2-run triple(On Cycle watch now too as J-Roll has the 2 hardest legs out of the way with the HR in the 1st and the triple in the 2nd..he looks pumped up too and think he'll probably get at least another 3 AB's and has a pretty good chance at the cycle IMO) Philly really needs the win too and still think the Rox are due to letdown(Not just because of the amazing run and emotional high they've been on lately.. but think that add-on one-game tiebreaker that went extra innings will catch up to them eventually, thats the letdown I'm looking for) As for the Cubs game, I just think they are the more talented team and not sold on the D-Backs being a winning playoff team, I luv Lou and think he finds a way to steal one on the road here and also like Lilly much better than Davis(Altho when Davis is throwing strikes he can be tough, but with the Hitters Ump here, think the Cubs will get to him especially with all those good RH sticks..Soriano, Lee, Ramirez and even the little guys like DeRosa, Theriot, Murton and whoever Catches(Kendall/Soto) should be better vs the lefty than they are vs Righties! Only lefties to nullify are Floyd, Jones, Pie and Fontenot and think it will be hard for Davis to come thru unscaved vs this lineup!

Just checked and here's some of the guys numbers vs LHP:

Soriano .254 Avg. 9 HR's in 126 AB's

Ramirez .395 12 HR 114 AB

Lee .339 6 HR 124 AB

Murton .319 91 AB

Theriot .286 126 AB

DeRosa .283 145 AB

(L)Jones .295 23-78

(L)Floyd .303 10-33

Soto .444 12-27

Kendall .244 10-41

And in a Pinch...C.Zambrano is 4-11 .364 vs LHP this season

With the Over Ump behind the dish, I'm already liking the Over and with CHC down 0-1, think they are the side to take and IF they should happen to lose, I won't be too mad, cause the spot seems like a good one to me!!!
