3 dogs looking good on Friday

[Wilforth]

White Sox +120 (to bring down the Yankees)
Red Sox +105
Phillies +120



Because of the various responses to this post, I've decided to edit this to enable me provide reasons for these value picks:


White Sox +120
1) The Yankee's 36-27 road record is no better than CWS' 37-25 home record
2) Yankees may be 6-1 vs. CWS, but the truth is that Yankees are 1-4 in their L5 visits to Chicago
3) Yankees are a poor 2-6 in Burnett's last 8 road starts
4) Yankees are 1-7 in their last 8 during game 1 of a series!!!
5) Yankees are 0-6 in Burnett's last 6 starts against teams with a winning record while the White Sox are 4-1 in Garcia's last 5 starts against teams with a winning record.

Red Sox +105
1) Lester is 3-0 in his L5 starts in Tampa
2) Situationally speaking, this is Tampa's first home game of a 7-day road trip!!! It's also no coincidence that the Rays are 0-5 in their last 5 games following an off day.
There're just many other intangible edges to the Red Sox play. Oh my oh my! I love this play.

Phillies +120
No doubt, Latos is in terrific form, going 8-1 with an ERA of 1.53 in his L12 outings. But before you jump all over the Padres, consider these:
1) Oswalt is 10-2 vs. Padres and owns a stellar ERA of 1.90 at Petco
2) The Phillies are 8-1 in their last 9 visits to Petco!!!
3) Phillies are 11-2 in their last 13 vs. a team with a winning record.
4) Phillies are 6-1 in their last 7 road games.

There's no better time to play the Phillies than in their first road game off a 0-4 thrashing by the Astros.

I like the White Sox, might even fade my own team on this one.

[astrodomer]

Phillies look like a strong strong play, Oswalt should be on top of his game Friday.....especially in a pitchers park.

[lakerboy]

Like the Red Sox

[ttm]

Anything but the Phillies.

[ROFLcopter]

Red Sox, Phillies, and Tigers

[Cranium]

DET, KC & OAK... I might venture on FLA after ATL's collapse..

GL with your wagers tomorrow!

[dodger33]

As hot as boston has been i think that tampa is the better team

[MrTwiz]

Price at home has only given up 3 runs once this yr. TB is 30-13 against lefties.

Im switching the bos for TB, but ill take CWS and the Phils.

BOL willie

[Crnjak]

Phillies ML only play!

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

Like the the Rays returning back home with Price. The Rays will get to Lester early.

White Sox +120 (to bring down the Yankees)
Red Sox +105
Phillies +120

[AL1322]

[Foals]

With you on the White Sox aswell.. liking them as a dog GL

[PlatinumBerg]

A lot of people on the White Sox against the Yanks...

[Noelani_06]

Good luck, hope the WS will bring it!

[Wilforth]

DET, KC & OAK... I might venture on FLA after ATL's collapse..

GL with your wagers tomorrow!

If not for ATL's home record, FLA would have been my top road dog. They excel in that role just like the White Sox excel in the role of a home dog.

[Wilforth]

As hot as boston has been i think that tampa is the better team

Fortunately or unfortunately, the better team doesn't always win!

[HedBustah1]

I like boston tonight, gl!

[rthoughton]

ya. how are the phillies looking good? have you been in jail for the past week?

[HedgeHog]

Passing on the White Sox, but the other 2 have a decent shot. GL

[TBone101]

Good luck tonight fella's

[iceman8847]

Phillies

[JMobile]

Price at home has only given up 3 runs once this yr. TB is 30-13 against lefties.

Im switching the bos for TB, but ill take CWS and the Phils.

BOL willie

I'm there dude!

I'm looking for a Parlay and wanna include TB. What other teams should I include for the win?

[JMobile]

If not for ATL's home record, FLA would have been my top road dog. They excel in that role just like the White Sox excel in the role of a home dog.

Atlanta's home record is the best record in the NL at home. With Hudson pitching, it should changes things around for the Braves. It Should.

White Sox +120
Red Sox +105
Phillies +120

I like the plays. Not too sure about the White Sux though. Havent looked into that one yet.

Like the Red Sox

[FR3SH like UgHH]

i like phils

[thebestthereis]

ya. how are the phillies looking good? have you been in jail for the past week?

They looked like shit but now is when you bet them when nobody else wants to. It amazes me that people wanna pound them at -200+ but when they are dogs with a pitcher who has dominated his opponent they jump ship. For those that talk about value it doesn't get any better than this.

[coloradobuff]

like em all..best of luck

[smarmy]

I'm against you on all three off those plays! GL anyway!

I think the value is on Latos at -140.
there is no value in a losing bet. The Phils aren't very good on the road, just traveled 3000 miles, and cant score, and now face the best starter theyve seen in the midst of the slide.
I hope youre right about the Phils, Im just not gonna get back on them until they show me something. no play. go phils, tho.

[Rookie-Capper]

I like 3 different dogs but good luck

I'm there dude!

I'm looking for a Parlay and wanna include TB. What other teams should I include for the win?

Milw RL, texas ML, Tex/a's u8.5, Ari/SF o7.5, STL, Tor

Ive made a few using these plays. They are my most solid for today I believe.

If u want football Sp3434 from the football handy thread has Falcons PK, Eagles -2.5 (but no higher), and jets/skins o34
