Another Dog Day!

washington and phillies are big dogs too, curious on why you didnt add them to this mix?

I don't like Cleveland or Houston, personally. And I gave Baltimore a look, but the line movement (so far) indicates TB might be just too much (though I do think that has a shot).

Who's this cat pitching for LAA tonight? He pitched OK at times as a starter last year, and let's face it, Hughes hasn't exactly had his best stuff recently.

I completely agree with the Padres. Besides, the Brewers I believe just took 2 from the Braves in their house

I just can't bring myself to bet against Carpy at home. You could probably add the Nats to this list but i picked those 5 because i thought they were the best value.

Yes Braves looked very vulnerable in that series.

Both are a bit of a stretch but hey only one needs to win to turn a profit. I didn't see the game but Houston was hitting some pretty damn good pitches last night. It wasn't like they were teeing off on meatballs.

Angels should never be that big of a dog against the Yankees. They have the best record of any team against the Yankees over the last 5 years or so. That line is a complete joke. O'Sullivan did so so last year but what stuck out to me was the run support he received last year and i am hoping it continues today. Angels were back to themselves against the M's playing great small ball and hitting mistakes.

are you getting a touchdown with Bal?

dodger33 · 07-20-10, 01:59 PM

I got it at 6.5 i might need the extra half point though those Dolphins have been beating up on them.

dodger33 · 07-20-10, 02:00 PM

On a lighter note a 5 team parlay with those teams listed above pays 189 to 1. I just put 2 bucks on it

Orangemen 44 · 07-20-10, 04:02 PM

Like the Pads myself, Atlanta tough at home though. ATL line has dropped about -20 since this morning.

Just made a thread about the Angels, whenever I see +170 and Phil Hughes on the other side I'll bet

Gtawatson · 07-20-10, 04:09 PM

I like that angels moneyline. Its ridiculously high, and hughes pitched just alright last time vs. LA. Hughes hasn't looked great since May, he is already over the total innings he pitched all of last season and the angels always play the yanks tough. Also the Yankees usually struggle against pitchers they have never seen before, which the angels are throwing out there tonight. Its worth the crazy moneyline

dodger33 · 07-20-10, 04:10 PM

Angels have been hitting a lot better after the all star break.

Pauulzcappin · 07-20-10, 04:15 PM

I might take Angels +1.5 at plus money but they might just win SU.

dodger33 · 07-20-10, 04:32 PM

Yea at plus money still, thats a good bet.

Dodger I think you may be thinking of Matt Palmer. Shoe salesman who had like a 4.3+ era but a bunch of wins because of timely run support.

dodger33 · 07-20-10, 06:09 PM

Oh shit you are right! Haha butt O'Sullivan did win 7 of his last 8 starts. Last year.

dodger33 · 07-20-10, 06:43 PM

Back to back to back. Suck it Garza!

philliesfinest · 07-20-10, 07:28 PM

love that you play dogs thats all i bet in baseball,tonight balt and wash ,houst ,phila and clev in the first 5 innings

dodger33 · 07-21-10, 01:33 PM

3 out of 5 yesterday profit of 3.74 units! Dogs are they way to go!

2daBank · 07-21-10, 01:58 PM

while i cetainly agree with you dodger, i was just looking back at my spreadsheet for the month and in all honesty i guess i just dont pick dogs all that well as im right around 60% with all my plays but 4-8 with the dogs ive played...thing is when playing dogs the way you doing it with 5 or so seems to be the way to go as it is just hard for me to single out the 1 or 2 that will win and im much more into just a few plays....im glad it is working for you keep up the good work.....you got a list of dogs you are playing today?

dodger33 · 07-21-10, 02:49 PM

Yes I have found the same thing. When I pick 1 i always end up picking the wrong one.
The only dog i like today is Cincy. I dont care who is throwing for the Nats. Cincy a dog at home is a solid bet. Other than that I think I am going to hold off on stuff like this unless there is at least 3 big dogs I like.
