Saint Andrew MLB Season Thread

[St. Andrew]

If you don't mind, I am curious as to how you arrive at your picks, time spent on handicapping, or any other insighful information. I want to make sure I am not following a charlitan.

You misspelled charlatan, and I'm not one. I don't pretend to be an expert, but I can read and make sense of stats that are available to everyone here on the internet and in a newspaper. If you can read, you can win.

Also, I would never tell anyone to follow me. Ever.

st andrew thanks for always posting ur picks!

and yeah... that parlay (braves + cubs) WE just hit today was all thanks to u! u posted them early last night. i was able to see them earlier today, liked it and was able to bet on time!

keep rolling bud!

[TheLock]

Are you charting this guy with any success?

You're adorable.


With your poker skills, you don't need to be laying any $ on baseball.


In terms of his success rate, it's all there. His record is posted. The season is early but so far but you must admit that 18-13 is quality capping.


Keep up the good work St.

Monday April 21

-Nats right now are the best fade in majors, pschologically destroyed and facing a man in Hudson who has total ownership of them.
-In the last two years Hudson is 5-1 vs the Nats in seven games and has not allowed more than 2 runs in any of those games.
-Braves are outscoring Nats in runs per game 5.2 to 2.6 over the last 10 games.
-Nats are hitting .187 vs righties over the last 10 games.
-Hudson is not flaky and will not treat this team lightly. He had a bad outing in his last game, and he is a maniacal disciplinarian. He will be razor sharp at home in a redemption outing.
-Nats are 2-14 in their last 16 games.

-Diamondbacks and the Big Unit took a loss today, so that means they automtaically are an 80% chance of winning tomorrow, since this team is not likely to lose back-to-back games at home, especially against the Giants who are 2-9 in their last 11 games in 'Zona.
-DBacks are outscoring Giants in runs per games 6.6 to 4.1 over the last 10 games.
-SFO is hitting .244 against righties, and Micah Owings already shut them down on the road 6 days ago, now he gets them at home.
-SFO is 3-6 on the road, DBacks 7-2 at home.

Im with u on this one.. Its nothing thats a lock but this one should be close

[diogee]

Love that play Andrew...was already looking into it since there is no way I can play Hudson and Owings straight up. Good luck.

[St. Andrew]

Braves may be without Chipper, but it won't matter.

[pimike]

Hudson allowed 6 hits and 4 runs against the Marlins last outing.

Not to mention Chipper is hurt.

Maybe need to look at this loser, not a lock

I never said it was a lock. There is no such thing. I addressed the Hudson start in my write-up. I'm not concerned about the Chipper injury.

[FreeFall]

thanks for posting this one early. Lets get em!

[mundane]

tailing u on this one again. let's cash this!

[St. Andrew]

Chipper is in the line-up. Batting .458 this year!

The Marlins have a good offense. They're not guys you will see night in and night out on Baseball Tonight (AKA The Yankees/Red Sox/Mets show) but they have some serious bats in that lineup (Han Ramirez, Willingham, Hermida etc).




6-0 Braves top 6th.

I am going right back to the money well...sinking my talons into the shitty Nats and shaking the coins out! Look at the money fall!

Jumping onto the back of Brandon Webb and riding him to the bank! Webb looks better than I have ever seen him!

Exactly what I did about 4 hours ago...Webb and Smoltz to the bank.
Good luck and keep rolling.

This should go inn, but the Giants played well today and the game was close... I might pick the Giants tomorrow(!!!) cause i have a good feeling that Zito gona get his first win and that their baserunning gona be bether (had a good chance in the 8th but...tried for 3rd base..). Dont think the Giants gona win but I was a bit worried today after 4 inns, so..

Braves gona win tho.. I think, GL

congratz saint!

You gonna sit tonight out St?

[Pair of 5s Sir]

Arizona won. Braves were down 1-0 going into the 9th and it all went bad. Braves hit about 3 missiles that were somehow snagged by Johnson @ 1B.

One of those nights.

Wed April 23

Parlay Braves / Mets

So many reasons why i love it. Nats scored runs last night but they were on errors. Nats have no offense, Santana will roll if he doesn't give up the deep balls (Nats have little power).

Pitcher for the Marlins is worst in majors. I've seen him pitch twice and laughed and got drunk both times.

I like Beer
Good Luck

Love this play.

Andrew Miller has done nothing to indicate he is MLB ready. Nothing.

I think he will be a solid #2 or #3 though in 2 years.

[TheLock]

Hanley Ramirez just went yard to dead center on the first pitch from Bennett.

Hanley would be on Baseball Tonight every night if he played in a big market.

Braves should get their share of runs too.

Braves have left 9 men on base. **** ME!

[The_Kid]

Braves just aren't capitalizing. IMO, it's only a matter of time before Miller implodes.

Problem is, Miller will be gone soon and the bullpen is 2nd in the NL in ERA.
