OAK -123: Burned me on Saturday night because their manager's a goddam idiot, but I'm back on the A's wagon. Gio's day ERA is incredible. Blackburn has a 6.37 career ERA against the A's, and a 6.44 ERA on the road this year. Now granted, Gio's been absolutely torched in his two games career vs. Minnesota, but he's a much better pitcher now than he has been in the past. I still like the A's here.

HOU +100: I'm trying to figure this line out -- I guess it's because Wells has never given up a run in his career vs. the Astros, spanning 20.2 innings. I hate backing Myers, but the guy's been pitching a lot better lately, allowing just 3 ER in his last 20 IP.

Also still considering Baltimore as a big 'dog, but I'll probably stay away from it.

Not a very tempting card on Sunday IMHO. All of my focus will be on Game 2 of the Finals.

I have already bet some serious cash on Houston at BetPhoenix a few minutes ago

I'm with you on the Astros. Good luck!!

It's hard to bet against a guy with a track record like Wells has vs. Houston, but I'm not crazy about looking at stats from prior seasons. Different lineups, different mentalities, different teams, etc.

We'll see.

At least I don't have to waste my time capping totals anymore -- I'M A FREE MAN!!!

Not to say Sun isn't a decent bet, but why would you ever bet "big" on the 2010 Houston Astros?

Dodgers, CArds RL and NYY under!

Any over/unders you got your eye on??????????

[goduke]

I dont know oakland cost me my points parlay tonight. I dont think ill trust them again

I also like Oakland at home on Sunday. Their lineup won't scare anyone but they're feisty and patent enough to beat Blackburn. Gonzalez has been much more consistent this year and solid in the am.

Like the over 8.5 in the MIL/STL game. Mil finds a way to score runs against Garcia and Parra ... well ... sucks.

Thinking of maybe a value play on Cle at +140.

Hey fellas -- been away from the computer all day and just checking in. Didn't book either one of these, so looks like another 2-0 day left on the table.

man why the hell not, what's your deal nc? seems like you rarely bet the plays you post and write up about. you gotta quit psyching yourself out and start betting your shit.

I was going to make the bets late last night, TEX, but I got busy and was out with the family all day today. Totally forgot that I didn't lock them in last night.

I typically like watching late line movement just in case, so my tendency is to wait and do more research vs. making the play at first blush. Looks like I need to change my strategy.

Did you have a pick for tonight or are you still debating??

At the moment, I'm leaning pretty heavily on Boston +6 and slightly on the over, which has caught my attention today by increasing from 190 to 192.5. That's a pretty big swing.

you just need a confidence boost. you had the plays right there in front of you, write-ups and all. i wouldn't call that first blush.

if you're confident enough to post it, you should be confident enough to bet it, because as much as you post i guarantee you people are going to tail you, and you gotta put your money where your mouth is.

I know, I know. 7-2 on posted plays last two days, yet I've barely broken even on my actual bets. I went through a horrific cold streak last month, so my confidence is still shaky to say the least.
