Saint Andrew MLB Season Thread

[Dashwood Clipper]

Thanks St.
I like White Sox from the get-go, it was a toss up between Mets and Braves, but Braves pen scared me off, Jays/Rangers worries me, but these teams can hit, and if either team can get to the starters, over-worked pens may not be as sharp tonight. I really believe that the Avalanche has seized momentum in there series against the Wild. If I make it to the hockey game, the beer will be flowing

[St. Andrew]

Figueroa looks like he has some mean stuff tonight. If you hit this big parlay, I'm having a beer in your honor!

[Dashwood Clipper]

5 Ks thru 3, he is looking real sharp. I watched him on Friday against Brewers and he was extremely effective.

[Dashwood Clipper]

Well game that worried me got me. Stupid play on my part.
Mets have tied it, so good luck to you

Sorry about the loss my man...sorry to say, I drank tons of beer anyway. I have no faith in the Mets at this point.

Last Night was fun, but it's time to get back to basics!

Thursday April 17 2008
2-Team Parlay Mets/White Sox +215

White Sox should be a heavy favorite in this game IMO. Instead, they are listed at almost even money. Good.

Nationals with Lannan = I feel pity, but will cash on their sorrow.

PARLAY METS / WHITE SOX

$300 to win $645

Both are in extra innings. What are the chances on that? Damn

[chipski]

I can guarantee you get the Mets , bottom 10th now , so you just need the WSox .

I should have been more disciplined today. My top two plays won. I will never post more than two plays in one day the rest of the year. That will enforce discipline.

Goal for April: above .500 and in positive money. It is a tricky month.

Sunday April 20

2-Team Parlay Cubs/Braves

-Pirates are hitting .222 vs Righties and Dempster is one of the best right now.
-Cubs are outscoring Pirates in runs per game 6.2 to 3.3.
-Cubs at home on Sunday in a day game = $$

-Dodgers 2-6 away from LA.
-Braves are 5-2 at home. Turner Field in a daytime weekend game is 100% electric. It's a big advantage. Braves are gunning for the sweep.
-Braves have the better bullpen at this point by a mile.
-Kuroda has given up two homers, Jurrjens none.
-Dodgers have scored two runs total in their last two games.
-Get out the brooms.

Good luck Saint. Braves and Cubbies look good for a sweep.

Chipper Jones injured and pulled from the game. That's some bad mojo. Tight one here.

[TheLock]

Was 5-3 Cubs last I checked. Dempster got out of a bases loaded jam.

Cubbies just tacked on another, 6-3.

[hi-rez]

Nice - Boyer just got out of a jam

[TheLock]

Cubs blow it wide open.

Braves have insurance run on 2B in the 8th.

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.

[St. Andrew]

Strong!

18-13 is massive.

Thanks, partner...but I don't think it's that impressive. These are the guys that are my heroes:

Larry Ness
Frank Rosenthal
Ethan Law

I have used them in the past when I was on vacation and wasn't able to cap games. These guys hit above 60%. I am not there yet and probably never will be.
