Giants Might Be A Good Play Today

[Mr Windy City]

Today's card was tough, not much jumping out at me. Will give my reasoning in a second, but my play for tonight is:

San Francisco Giants +140

[No coincidences]

I'm leaning Jays, but not sure about this one.

I'll probably stay away. Don't like it as much as I did earlier.

[gshock1]

Hope you are wrong this time - your reasoning has been spot on lately.

[warriorfan707]

I like it. Am thinking about doing it.

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

Jays bats have been terrible as of late but they might just light up tonight at home. I'd stay away from this bet.

[warriorfan707]

Ok I just did it. SF +135 risking 100 to win 135.

[Mr Windy City]

First the recap. 2-0 last night winning with the Rockies and Royals. For tonight, I like the San Francisco Giants and Barry Zito. The Toronto Blue Jays are just horrid against Lefties. In their last 10 they are batting a brutal .205 against lefties. Did you know that dating back to the year 2000, Barry Zito is 8-2 against the Blue Jays? He has not lost to this team since 2003! Blue Jays counter with Brandon Marrow. Not a good sign for anyone that likes the Blue Jay's. He is 4-5 on the year, sporting a 5.14 ERA, and his team just never gives him run support. On top of that the Giants are just CRUSHING righties right now as they are batting an awesome .302 in their last 10 games. Giants excel in inter league games against good teams. They are 5-0 in their last 5 inter league games against a team with a winning record. 5-1 in their last 6 overall inter league games, 4-1 in their last 5 against the AL East, and 4-1 in their last 5 friday games! Those are some serious numbers to look at right there. As I dug deeper into the pitching matchup, I found out some nice stats for Giants backers. Giants are 4-0 in Zitos last 4 starts as a road underdog of +110 to +150, Giants are 6-0 in Zitos last 6 starts as an underdog of +110 to +150, and Giants are 7-0 in Zitos last 7 starts when their opponent scores 5 runs or more in their previous game. I also found out that the Giants are 9-2 in Zitos last 11 starts with 5 days of rest. I can keep going and get my 10 points, but I will stop here as I want some of you guys too see this before the game starts. Fade or play, best of luck my friends.

I like SF tonight. Zito is going to pitch well and I look to get some runs of Morrow. Just feels like a great dog play.

[No coincidences]

Morrow has a 1.35 ERA in his last three starts, FWIW.

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

I'd still be careful with going against the Blue Jays bats. You stated in there that Jays don't give Morrow run support. I would have to disagree on that and say that besides this slump the Jays have been in, they were putting up some serious run support for their starters. Jays return home and there bats might come alive.

Lol why is that, you already on the BJ's?

Was gonna stay away from the whole card. Like I said nothing crazy jumped out at me besides this game. GL!

Ok I just did it. SF +135 risking 100 to win 135.

[warriorfan707]

Morrow has a 1.35 ERA in his last three starts, FWIW.

He hasnt faced SF in his last 3 starts.

Giants have 2nd best BA in the NL.

[hush-hush]

Altough I'm on the opposite side - cause I played this earlier - thanks for the nice write up.

Here's his last 3 starts....You call that run support?

6/12/2010 @ COL S L 0-1 L 119
6/6/2010 vs. NYY S ND 3-4 L 122
5/31/2010 vs. TB S W 3-2

[mart59a]

Jays win by at least 2 runs.

Every time I see my avatar, I could jack off.

[warriorfan707]

2nd and 3rd 1 out

[Mr Windy City]

I know his last 3 outings haven't been great. Look who those two teams were agaisnt at home Yanks and Rays. The game in Colorado was a perfectly pitched game that the Jays hitters should of scored a ton but didn't take advantage (I remember that game). Other then that i'm wishing you luck as I don't have any money on it.

[warriorfan707]

pandaval hitting with bases juiced

Appreciate it, D3! But that's exactly my point, they coulda scored but didnt! No run support last few games.

Bags packed for Giants, c'mon strike first!

[Mr Windy City]

6 straight balls thrown by morrow....don't screw this up!

[Mr Windy City]

7 straight balls.

[Mr Windy City]

8 straight! 1-0 Giants!

[lovetobet]

First run walked in, would be 2 if Uribe wasn't swinging at runs over his head and bouncing on the f*cking plate. Morrow's thrown 28 pitches already in the 1st inning.

[WillC]

he cant throw strikes

[Mr Windy City]

This guy is all over the place lmao. 10 straight balls

Morrow just blew up.

[Mr Windy City]

good start, but there should have been at least 2 or 3 that inning damnit!

[Reed Harris]

Pitch count high if we get into the Blue Jay bullpen we should win the game. Good luck on Giants as well.

Thanks Reed, appreciate it brotha

Agreed, Uribe is a free swinging (see undisciplined) jackass but he never gets cheated from a swing even when he's golfing at the damn thing.

Zito 5 pitches, 2 outs, lets get Morrow back out there quick.

[Mr Windy City]

I'm gonna step out for a second. Make sure nothing stupid happens, ok guys? lol
