Records are as of July 21, as I wasn't regularly posting my plays earlier.
Going a little crazy today. Lots of games, making up for a slow Thursday.
Moneyline (10-11)
Pittsburgh, +204. I'm not a big believer, but consider the following: Pirates have averaged 6.4 runs per game in their last 10; it's a division rivalry; Pirates had off-day, Cubs travelled, albeit not far; Cubs may be in letdown mode after sweeping the Brewers; Cubs face a pitcher they've never seen; if you're going to beat the Cubs, Marquis is the guy to do it against. In summary, I just like the value.
Detroit, +171. Tigers are 15-3 in last 18 against LHPs. Yes, they suck, but Tampa hasn't been hitting either, with 8 straight unders. Thus, they are a rare double-dip for me, as I also bet the under 8.5 in this game.
Cincinnati +101. Nationals should never be favored over anybody.
Phillies, -126. Hamels is due for a nice bounce-back game. I'm not a believer in the Cards, or in Lohse.
Totals (14-11)
Det/KC under 8.5. See above.
Mil/Atl, over 9. Brewers rediscover themselves once out of the spotlight.
LAA/NYY, over 10.
SF/SD, under 7. Love Lincecum.
Runline (0-3)
none.
Parlays (6-5)
Phil/Bos, +209.
CWS/Min, +194. (Twins 12-3 in last 15 vs. LHPs).
