going through the early games for thursday

[pico]

man, really bad day today. i am still pissed off how bal blew the lead in the 8th and how tigers blew the 3 run lead. milwakee can't hit worth a damn.

can't sleep. going through the early games tomorrow one by one. chime in if you agree.disagree.

[pico]

SFO - M. Cain
PIT - P. Maholm

pittsburg is going for the home stand sweep. cain is giant's best veteran pitcher. he tend to get some kind of rn support when he starts, so i am going to take giants ml tomorrow. betting against the sweep.
+113

maholm is a okay pitcher, so giants might get couple of runs.

[pico]

SDG - J. Germano
ATL - J. Reyes

on espn, ledezma is listed for SDG. germano is so bad this year, if he is starting, i am taking atl.

no pick until i am sure who is starting for SDG

[pico]

CLE - P. Byrd
NYY - M. Mussina
-141

yankees getting swept at home. mussina is pretty good, so i am going to say no. taking the yankees tomorrow.

So far I like your picks. I'm on all 3. Like Cain as a dog. Would take the Braves regardless of who's on the bump for the Padres. Coin flip on the Yanks/Tribe, but taking Moose at home here. GL.

[pico]

MIN - K. Slowey
CWS - J. Danks
+134

CWS is in a slump. danks is not a SP, but Slowey aint so hot either. i am going to take my chances with min. gomez just hit a cycle today...pretty impressive

small play. not that confident cws will just laydown and take it tomorrow.

[pico]

STL - K. Lohse
COL - J. De La Rosa
+100

stl is outplaying col this year. lohse is a better pitcher than de la rosa. so taking the cards.

pretty confident on this pick

PHI - B. Myers
ARI - B. Webb
-149


webb is the best pitcher in the NL. myers is great also. but no way i am passing up webb.

[dannyt76]

Ok I was leaning CWS, but decided it's a no play. I don't trust either team so don't want to bet it. Danks has some good stuff, but has been up and down this year. Who knows if he brings his A game tomorrow. Not worth the risk.

Like the Cards and Lohse against the struggling Rocks.

[pico]

done with the side, going to look at u/d now.

first up

SFO - M. Cain
PIT - P. Maholm

i like under 7.5. both teams are dead at bats with good pitchers.

[pico]

ok, checked pinnacle, germano is not starting, so sbrline is wrong.

SDG -W. Ledezma
ATL - J. Reyes

both pitchers are not that great. leaning towards over 9.5, but sdg can't hit, so not that confident on this one.

[pico]

STL - K. Lohse
COL - J. De La Rosa

wow, the o/u for this game is 11. de la rosa must suck really bad. 11 is pretty high. this is in the NL, but col stadium is easier to hit, not sure about this one. leaning towards the under.

[pico]

PHI - B. Myers
ARI - B. Webb

two good pitcher with two good offensive team. the o/u is 8.5 this is tough, but under is more logical here. but one bad inning the game is over.

[pico]

CLE - P. Byrd
NYY - M. Mussina

9.5 is the o/u

i like the under...both teams can hit, so not that confident.

[pico]

MIN - K. Slowey
CWS - J. Danks

o/u is 9.5 hoping the hot bats for min will carry over, leaning towards the over.

[pico]

that is it for the early games tomorrow.
