Saturday Value Plays

I'm also considering Mariners tomorrow depending on the line.

On second thought, i think I will do half a unit on Marlins and Texas. One of them is bound to win. I'll make profit if one of them hits.

Mariners +128
Pros: Dickey has been decent this year. Purcey has been horrible in his few major league starts. The Mariners hit lefties well. Give the Mariners a shot, they are certainly due for a win.

Cons: It's the Mariners

Rangers +170
Pros: Matt Harrison is not a good pitcher by any means. While he is facing the MLB ERA leader, he is also facing one of the worst offenses. expect the Rangers to carry him to a win.

Cons: The Rangers have no pitching.

I went 1-2 -2.21 Units. So I am pretty cold right now. I'm gonna stick to ultra conservative plays tomorrow to start another winning streak.

Dodgers -206
Pros: This is probably the most chalk I have ever laid on any team. In this case, I consider it value because I do not see the Nationals winning this game. There is just no way. Derek Lowe is an ace at home. Odalis Perez is the complete opposite on the road. The Nationals are an awful ball club that cannot get timely hits. Derek Lowe is 40 in his career versus the Nats. The Dodgers also hit lefties well. The Dodgers also have the number 4 bullpen in the majors.

Cons: None. I would say load up on the Dodgers, but today taught me that you should never wager more than 1 unit on any one game. anything can happen.

hmm, I don't know about the Dodgers tonite buddy.. I had them last night on the moneyline and was hesitant to do that because 2 aces were on the mound. Billingsley is better than Lowe in my honest opinion and Billingsly couldn't even create enough space for the Dodgers to get the point spread. I doubt Lowe will be more effective that Billingsley. I wouldn't be suprised if the Nats steal the win...

Lannan is actually a good pitcher. Odalis Perez blows. That is why the game was so close. Lowe shuts down teams like the Nats.

dodgers look like the best minus 200 play of the day

billinglsey allowed 2 runs in 7.2 innings
how can you possibly bmale that on him
if his team cant score 3+ runs then that is not his fault
he cant create space, all he can do is allow 2 runs in almost 8 innings
if he does that every start he is the best pitcher in baseball
