[Power Play]

Phillies line seem just about right. I see value in the Red Sox and White Sox.

[rthoughton]

Let me provide my reasons for these picks:

White Sox +120
1) The Yankee's 36-27 road record is no better CWS' 37-25 home record
2) Yankees may be 6-1 vs. CWS, but the truth is that Yankees are 1-4 in their L5 visits to Chicago
3) Yankees are a poor 2-6 in Burnett's last 8 road starts
4) Yankees are 1-7 in their last 8 during game 1 of a series!!!
5) Yankees are 0-6 in Burnett's last 6 starts against teams with a winning record while the White Sox are 4-1 in Garcia's last 5 starts against teams with a winning record.

Red Sox +105
1) Lester is 3-0 in his L5 starts in Tampa
2) Situationally speaking, this is Tampa's first home game of a 7-day road trip!!! It's also no coincidence that the Rays are 0-5 in their last 5 games following an off day.
There're just many other intangible edges to the Red Sox play. Oh my oh my! I love this play.

Phillies +120
No doubt, Latos is in terrific form, going 8-1 with an ERA of 1.53 in his L12 outings. But before you jump all over the Padres, consider these:
1) Oswalt is 10-2 vs. Padres and owns a stellar ERA of 1.90 at Petco
2) The Phillies are 8-1 in their last 9 visits to Petco!!!
3) Phillies are 11-2 in their last 13 vs. a team with a winning record.
4) Phillies are 6-1 in their last 7 road games.

There's no better time to play the Phillies than in their first road game off a 0-4 thrashing by the Astros.

Ok, man... I'm gonna follow you again. Im in on all three.
And a little two teamer: MIN and SFO.
Also, don't miss Bayern Munich -1 -145.
That's my card for today.
BOL to me. and you. of course.

I Like Boston today! Lester for some reason last games at home has been so bad losing to Detroit, toronto and Cleveland! But on the road he has won. Against Yankees and again Texas. And Boston knows how to win when nobody gives a fvcking cent for them! So why not!

I like Chicago because for Yankees today is Burn-it! Sorry Burnett!

I just don't know about Philies.

BOL

Milw RL, texas ML, Tex/a's u8.5, Ari/SF o7.5, STL, Tor

Ive made a few using these plays. They are my most solid for today I believe.

If u want football Sp3434 from the football handy thread has Falcons PK, Eagles -2.5 (but no higher), and jets/skins o34

Wish me luck! SP has been amazing!

I don't know why anyone would put their hard earned money on the Phils right now. They have looked awful. Couple that with a long, cross-country flight and one of the best pitchers in the NL this year, you are looking at a tough one. I figured the line would be even more in favor of Phillies backers though. +122 seems low considering. This may be a reason to consider, but I won't be playing it.

I think you should consider Florida if you are looking at dogs. Best value on the board IMO. BOL on your plays.

[Wilforth]

White Sox +120 (to bring down the Yankees)
Red Sox +105
Phillies +120

The Soxes are looking good!

[miyakuza]

Thanks WIlforth, I went with Red Sox and White Sox. Had to go with Padres tonight.

[Wilforth]

White Sox +120 WIN
Red Sox +105 WIN
Phillies +120

2-0 +2.25 so far.

[astrodomer]

[lakerboy]

Great night Wilforth. 3-0 .

[shari91]

Great job Wil! I wish I'd seen your thread before the games started but I ended up just jumping on all the late dogs I could for fun and it worked out well anyway.

[JMobile]

Wow, Wilforth I was against you on the BoSox/Rays and went with the Reys.
I will follow you now!
By the way, I'm ashame.

[PlatinumBerg]

Very nice sweep man!

[HedgeHog]

Simply Awesome!!! To go 3-0 is one thing, but doing it with all ML dogs is another. Great 'capping.
