big pass on tommorows card

[head_strong]

Cleveland Indians +108.....Minnesota 8-2 in last 10, Cleveland 2-8 in last 10. Nearly even money w/ Byrd(3-9) vs Hernandez(8-5)? If the money ends up on Minnesota as heavy as I think it is, Cleveland 1st5 (still can't trust that bullpen) is the play for me. I realize it is very difficult to back a pitcher in P. Byrd who has accumulated a grand total of 1 Win in his last 8 starts. Hopefully Hernandez brings his flat fastball with him tomorrow and the Indians can pull this one out.

was told the same thing when I took PIT at better than +200 vs Zambrano and cashed nice...........people seem to think PIT is worse than they are

[Wilforth]

Milwaukee -200 is a bet!!!

It might get to -500 at game time!!! Then the smartest bet in the world will be Pirates +450 (as it will be then).

Thanks bud, happy 4th of July to you as well.

Chicago White Sox -160

[EaglesPhan36]

Rangers +105
Another quietly successful pitcher is TEX starter Vicente Padilla. Padilla's #s lead me to side with the Rangers today. Overall, TEX has won 13 of his 17 appearances. On the road, it's even better. A 9-1 record in his 10 starts and 4-0 for day starts. The Rangers offense lends him plenty of support at 6.7 runs per game - best in the AL. Guthrie for BAL meanwhile sports a 1-3 day record with his team just 2-5 in those starts. He's also getting just 3.7 runs per game from his offense.

1st 5 Innings parlay.

I won yesterday on my 3 team parlay all on the 1st 5 innings and hopefully we do it again.I'm giving 1/2 a run in each game and I like my chances.Atlanta-1/2 -125,Chicago-1/2 -120,and Arizona-1/2 -135.$200 FOR $1148.I include what I put up in my return so I would actually win $948 plus the $200 I'm putting up to make it $1148.

* Florida +115
* Cubs -125
* Mets -145
* Sn Dgo +200
