Thoughts on Friday

First of all I love your threads.
I think and I said this in the past, that the price Phillies has, a MLB team shouldn't have against school yard kids, so I wouldn't touch that one.
About SD I don't care what the books are trying to do, SD are rock solid and everytime they are + money I'm all over them, it's a good bet no matter what happens in the game.

keep up the good job gamble. I've stuck by your most of your picks and enjoy reading your blogs. As for Haren, he's on my Fantasy team so I really would like to see him do well haha.

thanks man, your thread is one of the few that I check everytime i'm on these boards. i agree that philly line is brutal, i would never in a million years play that straight up, but staying away altogether might be for the best as well.

and that's true, i would lean towards sd for sure, i see them winning a 3-2 type game tomorrow night, still looking over the games though

thanks for the praise, yea i've been doing better with baseball of late, just gotta quit betting my cardinals, really know how to choke lately. and yea i never bet against my fantasy pitchers, really hard thing to do for me ha. i think haren will be fine, they just can't hit on the road and their bullpen is pretty terrible this year as well

What you think about the braves game tomorrow? I'm thinking of going big in the 1st inning with no runs scored as Atlanta seems to have trouble scoring early on and Cubs offense is non existent.. :/

not a bad idea if you are confident in jurrjens on the road, i haven't seen him much this year except at home where he's been pretty nasty. dempster is somewhat solid at home, i'm just not that big on 1st inning bets, seems like a crapshoot to me, maybe just cause i don't do them though

Liking some favorites tomorrow, which is not always a good thing but here's some thoughts:

I like the Twins at home with Duensing against Haren, good home starter vs bad road starter. Also a good home team vs bad road team so you do the math

I was thinking of a PHI/BOS parlay as well with both being too juicy. the phillies should be able to take this game easily against marquis, seems like marquis is done, tough to see him beating halladay. and boston is going against toronto, who aren't very good against lefties, plus lester at home is always a good bet.

under might be a good bet in milwaukee/san diego, the brewers are favored which tells me that gallardo will be solid tomorrow (book trying to get money to go on san diego with +odds), add that to the padres solid pitching staff and i like the under most likely.

any opinions?

ps my blogs have sucked of late so just going with some plays

made a thread for some of these picks bravesfan, ha hope you like it

outside of cliff lee being -400 with his texas debut, -375 is probably the highest i have seen
