    Baseball Underdog of the Day Contest - Monday, 6/09/08
    Starting Sunday (June 1), we will start a new June Baseball Underdog of the Day Contest with a prize of $200 account at DSI, 3 time roll-over. Last place will receive a $25 DSI account with a 3 time roll over. If there is a tie for last place in both units and wins (20 plays minimum), there will be be multiple last place boobie prizes.

    *IMPORTANT*
    All players must have an account at DSI prior to making picks SIGN UP Here.

    Before participating, players must PM their Diamond Sports International account ID to SBRforum Staff


    1. Check in the BASEBALL HANDICAPPING FORUM each day for the daily thread to be posted by LT Profits. Lines will be posted by 1:00 p.m. (ET) each day. Plays may be posted before that, but the official posted lines will be used for grading.

    2. Only the UNDERDOGS in games posted by LT will be eligible for selection, which will be only games that have underdog prices of greater than +110.

    3. All plays will be RISKING one unit, and selections may NOT be changed once posted.

    4. Here’s the catch: Your play must include a write-up! The write-up does not have to be long, just a sentence or two (or more) about why you are making your play.

    5. Entries that are past-post or do not have analysis will be NO ACTION. Any edited post will count as a LOSS! If you make a mistake, need to add analysis or wish to enter a corrected line, do so in a separate post. This holds true even if the first game on the schedule did not go off yet. It also holds true for past-posts and entries with no analysis. It does NOT hold true for posts that are not contest selections, i.e. standings, commentary posts, LT's notes to posters or congratulatory posts.
    *-EXCEPTION: If someone edits a post on the last day of the competition in an attempt to get an automatic loss in order to win the Last Place prize, then the original post will stand.

    6. And here’s the fine print:

    • Must be 18 years of age or older to participate.
    • One entry per home and computer.
    • Must use lines posted in daily thread by LT Profits
    • Maximum one underdog pick per day, minimum 20 underdog plays required to be eligible for monthly prize.
    • Tiebreaker for first place is total WINS. If still tied, combatants will carry on a head-to-head underdog match until winner is determined. This would begin on the first day of next month with no passes allowed. If co-leader passes during tie-breaking period, he or she is eliminated, even if other co-lealers lose.
    • All decisions made by SBR with regards to this contest are final.
    • SBR employees eligible to participate but are not eligible to win the monthly prize.

    The deadline for entering plays in the contest and still being eligible for prizes is Wednesday, June 11.

        pirates +120

        zach duke pitched very well his last start going 7 2/3 innings 108 pitches (71 strikes) against the astros, and i feel he will keep the pirates in the game and i like this solely for the fact that i feel randy johnson is not the same pitcher as he was from years ago.

              PIRATES +117: The Big Unit has turned back the clock at times this season, but he is still not nearly what he used to be and the bottom line is that the Diamondbacks have lost each of his last three starts. Now granted, that is not really Johnson’s fault since Arizona scored a grand total of five runs in those three losses, but the problem is that nothing has really changed lately. The Snakes are hitting a pathetic .213 as a team over their last 10 games, including .209 vs. left-handed pitchers. This is good news for Zach Duke, who is coming off of back-to-back Quality Starts and could be expected to build on that today. Duke allowed just two runs and seven hits in 7.2 innings vs. Houston in his last start, and he has done his best work here at home this season, where he owns a 3.79 ERA. Just about the only thing in Arizona’s favor is that they have the better bullpen, but that will not matter if their weak offense can’t produce enough runs to get a lead.

                Arizona has lost 10 out of the last 14 games.
                Arizona averaging just over 3 runs a game last 14 games.
                Duke has 2 quality starts.

                    #909 Minn +180 : no real angle here, the Chi-town boys have been knocking the ball silly, but they still suck at hitting lefties, Minny can hit lefties and they are trying to avoid the sweep. I personally took Minny at +1.5 -120.

                      Kansas City Royals +210

                      I'm hoping Guillen's hot bat might make a difference here maybe after (and if) Mussina leaves the game in the later innings. Kansas City has a poor record in the Bronx, but day games can be weird at times so gonna give the big noon hour dog a go here . . .

                        Kansas City has been playing well against the Yanks even though they lost the last 2 hope they can turn it around on the road today in the Bronx.

                              I fancy Pirates to win today and get a split in their home. The game starts at 12:35 pm which is actually breakfast time for Arizona so I expect them to be hungry and crunky during the game leading to a Pirates win.

                                  Both pitchers aren't that great, I just don't see the Giant's bats staying hot this game and the Nationals take it.

                                    Don't really love the Mariners in this spot, but Washburn has split with the jays in his last 2 meetings with them, while Litsch has lost his last decision to Seattle, so I'm going to gamble here

                                      I like the +180 here for the simple reason the Twins can hit Danks. He has 2 starts against the Twins this season with the following results:

                                      7 1/3 innings; 11.05 era

                                                10:05PM (EST) 916 Los Angeles Angels

                                                Joe Saunders Vs. Tampa Bay 0-1 this season. Tampa strong team and play good baseball.
                                                The Rays will be flushed tonight. After the Texas series, don't expect the Rays to take their first home game against the Angels.

                                                    The Fish look to sweep the Reds in this series.
                                                    Griffey still sittin' on 599.

                                                        Washburn is a great pitcher and I think he will lead the marines to a win tonight.

                                                          Extras for the Angels yesterday. I'l play the first game home from the road theory aginst the Angels.Streaking teams seem to lose two straight also.
                                                          Rays stiil proving they can play with the big boys.

                                                            Seattle has lost 6 of last 7, time to turn it around tonight.

                                                              Going against SF pitcher McCain in this match up. The Nationals have not played good at home but this is the perfect set up and should win with the plus value.
