MLB Overall 2010 30-35 -4.61 units (46.15%)
MLB 2 Unit Overall 2010 10-10 -3.27 units (50.00%)


Decided to reduce my units till I get back on some sort of winning streak...

Cubs -145 to win 1 unit

Cubs have been great offensively this whole series while the D-backs bullpen has been horrible.

Phillies +122 to bet 2 units

Taking a chance and make it an underdog 2 unit play (not that there even that great anymore). Home team on Sunday night baseball always catching value

[Alexgurv]

MLB Overall 2010 32-35 -1.19 units (47.76%)
MLB 2 Unit Overall 2010 11-10 -0.83 units (52.38%)


Phillies +111 to bet 2 units

Just like with Lilly and Lee I expect Blanton to come out firing after coming off an injury. Also the Phillies bats are as hot as they can be right now seems like great value

MLB Overall 2010 32-38 -6.63 units (45.71%)
MLB 2 Unit Overall 2010 11-12 -5.27 units (47.82%)

Great season so far

A's +119 to bet 2 units

[Alexgurv]

Astro's +120 to bet 2 units

Tampa Bay -139 to win 1 unit

[Alexgurv]

MLB Overall 2010 35-39 -4.27 units (47.29%)
MLB 2 Unit Overall 2010 12-13 -4.91 units (48.00%)

Right.

Mets -110 to win 1 unit

Mets 11-5 at home this season. Pelfrey been having a great season and has had one bad game against a great offensive team (Philly). Giants aren't that great offensively and it will be even harder to put up run in a pitchers ball park like Citi Field.

Mariners -126 to win 2 units

Felix pitching at home against a team thats on a six game slide and a very long road trip seems almost too good to be true at this value.

Kansas City -103 to win 1 unit

You have to believe that Grienke will finally win a game with how hes pitching this season.

[Alexgurv]

MLB Overall 2010 36-41 -6.82 units (46.75%)
MLB 2 Unit Overall 2010 12-14 -8.43 units (46.15%)



Cardinals -174 to win 2 units

High number, especially for 2 units but the Cards/Pujols own the Pirates in every single form and fashion.

Yankees -131 to win 1 unit

Hard to ignore this kind of value with Sabathia against a Bosox team that just doesn't seem to very good this year

[Alexgurv]

Pirates +170 to bet 1 unit

Phillies -205 to win 2 units

Boston -108 to win 1 unit

[Alexgurv]

MLB Overall 2010 39-43 -6.30 units (47.56%)
MLB 2 Unit Overall 2010 13-15 -9.87 units (46.42%)

Cubs -150 to win 1 unit

I hope I don't regret this but a Robertson fade is well worth it while Lilly has been solid at Wrigley Field the last couple of years

[Alexgurv]

Pirates +113 to bet 1 unit

Pirates are 3-1 against the Reds this year and they are playing much better then expected (other then a few games against the Brewers)

Padres +144 to bet 1 unit

Gotta expect Zito to collapse at this point with how he usually plays in the beginning of the year

[Alexgurv]

Brewers -151 to win 1 unit

Gallardo been at the top of his game the last few weeks

Angels +105 to bet 1 unit

Ever since that hot start the Rays have started to struggle in these road games in the last week. Weaver has pitched great this year and Price still has some inconsistencies

[Alexgurv]

MLB Overall 2010 40-45 -6.94 units (46.98%)
MLB 2 Unit Overall 2010 13-15 -9.87 units (46.42%)

I took 2 weeks off, hopefully that will help. Back from a week long vacation in Mexico as well. All that said I have very little time

Rays -130 to win 1 unit

[Alexgurv]

MLB Overall 2010 42-46 -5.24 units (47.72%)
MLB 2 Unit Overall 2010 14-15 -7.87 units (48.27%)

2-0 yesterday

Phillies -119 to win 1 unit

Hard to ignore a number like that when Halladay is on the mound. Even if Joe Johnson is pitching

Red Sox -133 to win 2 units

Good number on the Sox over the Royals, that Royals bullpen is just a mess even if Grienke pitches a great game.

[Alexgurv]

MLB Overall 2010 44-46 -2.24 units (48.89%)
MLB 2 Unit Overall 2010 15-15 -5.87 units (50.00%)

Pirates +122 to bet 1 unit

Pirates have owned the Cubs all year

Rays -132 to win 2 units

Rays 19-5 on the road and Garza coming off his first bad start of the season. He should bounce back

happy Memorial Day for the Americans here
