On top of actually liking these plays, half of my Fantasy team in on Detroit, so it behooves me to double up on the rooting!

(910) San Diego Padres Over 7 (-105)
2010: 15-7-1 +8.55
Ya know, I feel like such a herb taking over, over, over, but I suppose if it is working I shouldn't argue. I simply have no faith in any of these bullpens. Also, I am taking over on all reasonably-priced sevens until otherwise convinced.
(980) Seattle Mariners Over 7 (-120)
(952) Chicago Cubs Over 9 (EVEN)
Adding ...
Minnesota Twins Over 7½ (-105)
2010: 17-7-2 +10.55
I am going to feel silly when one of these square bets fails to come through, but I cannot NOT take plus money on seven and seven-plus with what I have seen from bullpens this season. Also, looking for Saunders to bounce back and have a nice start after two clunkers. Numbers aren't that great vs. Toronto but this journeyman Hallet for Toronto ain't so hot either.
(917) Los Angeles Angels -120 [5 Innings)
(902) Chicago Cubs Over 7½ (+115)
2010: 18-8-2 +10.55
(967) Texas Rangers +155
(966) St. Louis Cardinals Over 7½ (-105)
MLB: 19-10-2 +9.55
(914) Los Angeles Angels Over 9½ (-115)
(908) San Diego Padres Over 7 (+105)
MLB: 19-12-2 +7.40
(914) Arizona Diamondbacks +160
MLB: 20-12-2 +9.00
(955) San Diego Padres EVEN*
* Wade LeBlanc (L) must throw first pitch for San Diego Padres or this pick is NO ACTION.
Going with the streaking team at a good price throwing a pitcher on the mound the Reds have never seen before.
21-12-2 +10.00 (Withdrawal time!)
Adding ...
(974) Tampa Bay Rays Over 8½ (-105)
Looking forward to seeing these two young, talented pitchers each have a bad outing!
One more ...
(962) Arizona Diamondbacks -1½ (+160)
Boo for losing streaks!!
MLB: 22-14-2 +8.85
(951) San Diego Padres -134
I had added a 1st inning game yesterday SF/PHI + 130 and lost on it, so counting that.
23-15-2 +7.85
(903) Arizona Diamondbacks +145
