    Exactly brother.. Schedule is tough, I think I picked a good 13 game span. ARI should beat them twice in a row so if we start off 2-0 that is golden..


    I don't see them sweepin SD @ Petco, it could happen probably won't. Cincy series is an interesting one, I think that ends up 1-2 2-1 either way..

    Colorado might sweep them or at least get two out of three. And Phillies bats are too much for SF..

    Think this has a good shot to be profitable if wagered accordingly.

    You should consider doing this fade system on the Nationals. Lord Gawd, if this team won back to back games it would shock me into the grave. They are AWFUL. This team cannot cope with getting a win, and if they are in a game late, they will find a way to lose it. Worst offense in the majors. Worse than the Giants, and even more psychologically damaged than the Giants cause Nats have nothing in the farm. The whole organization is bone dry. I am going to make a killing off of this team this year!

    It will be fun nonetheless. Good question, but since I'm not flat betting the games where he is pitching will not be larger unit plays. That was the great thing about doing this last season, when you are following one team so closely you start getting a good feel for them..

    I hate betting against that kid, he's lights out.

    Exactly my brother Also those games at home won't be easy. Cincy is no pushover and Colorado has big sticks.

    We got this man.

    You should start a thread dude.. I'm serious. If you really believe this then you should start a thread and fade the Nationals all season or for as long as you feel is right..

    Yes, they are very weak. But be very very careful with this mentality about betting against them always. This is virtually the same team from last year, a team that ended up being one of the most profitable bets you could make in MLB last year. I think they were the #4 money team last year. They'll get hot soon....

    I remember when you did this type of thread last year in the RX Forum and you made a killing on the Dodgers for a brief spell. Did I get that right? Was that you?

    I remember that.. Everybody wrote them off and then they starting winning games.. As bad as they were last season they still won 45% of their games and went .500 @ home.

    Good point.

    I'm thinking we go 8-5 or 9-4 on this try. Really hope we start off 2-0 on this because 6-5 or 7-4 in those last 11 games looks extremely attainable.

    Exactly. Team got hot and they were still getting prices of +150 and higher routinely. You'll get no dispute from me about WSH and SF being bad teams, but if you want to bet against them you'll have to pay a pretty large price especially on the road. I don't blame you guys for fading some of these teams, just be careful b/c sometime this season you'll see teams like Pitt, WSH, SF, Texas, etc... put together winning streaks where they win like 12 of 14 or something like that.

    Yeah no kidding...I have bet FF the last 2 times he has pitched. He is definitely a pitcher that I would not want to fade at this point.

    I think it can profitable to fade a team if they have a somewhat difficult schedule and you have it all planned out. I wouldn't fade the Giants all season but with their remaining schedule I think it could be profitable because they have some tough teams ahead..

    We'll see how it goes..

    Lincecum really know how to pitch a game and keeps getting better. He is capable of pitching a shutout, no hitter and a perfect game. He is the ace of the giants pitching staff. Right now he has the upperhand. Major league hitters have not figured out how to hit him. He did take a beating in a couple of games but those were after a winning streak. But be careful on 3-0 pitchers because they do get pounded too. And last year, the giants won 3 in row for Lincecum and they did this twice in 2007. After winning streaks, Lincecum also had losing sreaks where the giants lost 3 in a row and 5 in a row. Be careful on taking Lincecum on his next start. I would bet against Lincecum on his next start.

    Let's do this WSP..

    Here is what I decided to do.

    4/22:

    1.5*ML Parlay (-153)
    D'Backs ML
    Pistons ML (NBA WED)


    I don't know why but the RL scares me for some reason. I'd be floored if the Pistons lost two in a row at home to the Sixers..

    GL Everyone
