Baseball Underdog of the Day Contest - Sunday, 5/11/08

[soli]

Florida Marlins +114

Going with the Hot team in this matchup. Florida continues to dominate this series mainly with their hot bats but today they have Olsen on the mound with an 4-1 record and era at 2.22.

[pimike]

Pirates plus 115,

Braves have not proven they can win on the road, nothing has changed. going to ride against braves till they start winning on the road.

[oakas]

Baltimore +126

Going with the better pitcher here.
Burres ERA 3.19
Bannister ERA 4.46

[Sportsgirl]

957 St Louis Cardinals +116

The Brewers have had a tough May, winning only 2 of 7 and Looper is the better guy on the mound today.

[louisvillekid]

#976 Tex +120 : i'll back a home dog, who's bats have been hot.

[sportsfun]

976 Texas Rangers +120
ponson has been brilliant so far and enough said.

[MOONCRICKET]

baltimore +126: just a case of 2 teams heading in opposite directions. balt has won 3 in a row, kc has lost 3 in a row, i think. either way bannister has been shaky enough lately to bet against.

[billmunny]

955 Florida Marlins +114

The Marlins are the hotter team. I think that they're still a bit undervalued because this start of theirs is unexpected; I expect it to continue. Plus, they hit Hill better than the Nats hit Olsen.

[Checkerboard]

Houston Astros +137

They own the Dodgers as of late. Played them game one of htis series and laid off game two for no good reason, not gonna miss out here an a great value play. Good luck everybody!

[MonkeyF0cker]

Arizona +152

I think this is gonna be a low scoring affair decided by the bullpens. Advantage Diamondbacks.

[wtt0315]

colorado
they might start hitting today hopefully and win easily here

[HedgeHog]

Arizona game is voided because of pitching changes on both sides--Right? If so, can Arizona backers pick another game as their dog of the day?

[LT Profits]

Just to clarify for the purposes of this thread (and if you go back and look, just like all SBR basbeball contests here in the past), ALL PLAYS ARE ACTION AT THE ODDS LISTED. Thus, if you have the D-Backs +152, and they go off +130, be thankful!

Only those that have Postponed games are allowed to make another pick.

[mundane]

Texas Rangers +120
Rangers are 6-0 in their last 6 games vs. a right-handed starter.

[elguason]

Sun 5/11 965 Houston Astros +137
4:10PM (EST) 966 Los Angeles Dodgers

Shawn Chacon this season Away 0-0 ERA 2.77 OPP AVG. .223

Hiroki Kuroda this season at home 0-0 ERA 5.87 OPP AVG. .348

[LB]

Houston +137

LA is 10-14 against RHP and the surging astros could put another by the Dodgers

[treece]

961 Colorado Rockies +127
Padres can't score, Rockies should grab a win easy.

[Kaps]

Sun 5/11 965 Houston Astros +137
astros bats will kill kuroda

[LT Profits]

Kaps,

NO ACTION, you were one minute late.

[pimike]

Pirates plus 115,

Braves have not proven they can win on the road, nothing has changed. going to ride against braves till they start winning on the road.

Unbeilevable, try to get a dog and something always happens LT.

LOL
