Dex do you Baltimore today?

jscol · 04-04-11, 11:27 AM

Be careful on Baltimore. I think Porcello is improved this year.

James Hoye is the Home Plate Ump in the ATL/MIL game, should we take the under? It is at 8.5 even on my book right now

Dexter · 04-04-11, 01:05 PM

Monday 4/4:

(5u) under brewers 8.5 (A4 - Hoye)

thx - i knew, but was waiting to see if it went to 9

but feel free to always point out when 1 of the A4 umps is behind the plate....im bound to miss a few.

Dexter · 04-04-11, 01:56 PM

lol....that 3rd strike was 5 inches off the plate. gotta love james hoye's strikezone....

(home with the flu watching baseball :-)

d33m · 04-04-11, 02:10 PM

cool, i didn't want to step on any toes.

EXhoosier10 · 04-04-11, 03:03 PM

Dex, when are umpires released for game#1 of a series? I noticed you posted just before game time, is that when they are typically announced?

Shark · 04-04-11, 03:22 PM

good luck dexter. looks like its going well on the under.

usually 1 hour before first pitch....i waited b/c i was hoping to get 9

i will try and let everyone know what the play is even if im not booking yet.....sorry, i was sleeping (sick with the flu) and actually almost missed getting the play in

mikief87 · 04-04-11, 05:08 PM

Nice call Dex.. wish they were all that easy.

just 1 inning left for the yankees to cover the run line. i hate run lines but really felt value on the yankees +120 in this spot.

unfortunately, there will be plenty of A1's where i will have to take the RL.....those nights should be fun..

MrSink · 04-05-11, 03:41 AM

sick twins backdoor cover
good luck next time

emeka · 04-05-11, 06:21 AM

What's for today? Smth big?

SDias35 · 04-05-11, 09:12 AM

My pick today:

ARI Diamondbacks vs Chicago Cubs - Chicago win

d33m · 04-05-11, 12:05 PM

Anybody have input on the AZ/Cubs game? I personally like d-backs here, cashner having his MLB debut game and being a "work in progress", while enright already seen action. GM even said he has seen more passion in the d-backs since last year. d-backs lost yesterday, which could inspire them to win today. My early lean is d-backs ML. Thoughts?

Fading Cashner and the lack of bullpen today for the Cubbies. Pena is not in the starting lineup with a sore thumb leaving Colvin to make his first pro start at first + Marmol and Woody are unavailable. 10mph wind blowing out to right

Arizona @ Chicago Cubs
Ari (+133)
Ari TT Over 4 (-120)
Ari -1.5 (+210)
Game Over 9 (-120)

Those are my opinions. I didn't like what I saw in Cashner's last ST start. Left a lot of balls up. Koyie Hill is playing in place of Geo Soto. Hill is probably a bottom 5 hitter in the entire MLB. Looks like Ari is using the same lineup as yesterday.

d33m · 04-05-11, 12:23 PM

Sweet, I am going to put 1x on d-backs ML and 1x on the over 9

Thanks Exhoosier10, btw, did u go to IU? I went to Purdue

Dabeergod · 04-05-11, 12:36 PM

Good luck fellas

Yup, graduated last May. I'm not 100% sure on the over to be honest. If you haven't made the bet yet, I'd say the ARI TT over 4 would be the better bet. But a new 1b with a shoddy infield + some bad pitchers on a windy day in Wrigley SHOULD lead to a high score. (BTW, i'm in the "NL Central 2011" thread if anybody wants to take this discussion elsewhere).

Sorry for taking over your thread Dex! Hope you're feeling a bit better though

d33m · 04-05-11, 12:49 PM

Update, only playing the ML so far, not Over

Dexter · 04-05-11, 01:14 PM

love the collaboration here guys....this thread is not just for me to post my plays. anyone can post their plays, thoughts etc....

i really dont have much to share for another few weeks. im basically making plays right now off umpire stats from last year, and maybe a small play that i see a good historical trend or just a situational play.

Dexter · 04-05-11, 02:33 PM

can anyone please post the home plate umps for the two 6:30 games today? shouldnt be up yet, but as soon as you see it, please post.

mlb.com is not working right for me at my office pc.....espn.com is usually a little behind with this info

thx
