    Baseball Underdog of the Day Contest - Sunday, 6/22/08

    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-leaders 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.

    This series has been almost dead even since these 2 teams have began meeting, in just about every category. I just can't see a sweep by the Cubs.

    Reds +190

    The Reds are hot right now and they are finally hitting again. That could all stop today, but I don't think it will. Cueto has been horrible on the road, but Pettitte hasn't been that great at home either, 2-3 5.23 ERA. I'll go with the hotter bats and that is the Reds.

    MARLINS +143: Duchscherer has pitched out of his mind for Oakland this season, but Miller has allowed exactly one run in each of his last two starts for Florida, and he is facing a suspect A’s offense that is batting a modest .242 vs. southpaws this year. Go for the value play here as the Marlins look to take this series on the road.

    Minnesota +141

    Twins have a big advantage on the artificial turf. The have scored more than 6 runs in last 4 games whereas Diamondbacks scored no more than 2 runs in 4 out of they are 5 games. Livan Hernandez always pitches good against former teams. Webb got shelled last time on the mound.
