    Baseball Underdog of the Day Contest - Sunday, 6/29/08

    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.

    #903 Col. +149 : just picking to be picking since i'm out of the running. Reynolds might suck, but i don't trust Rogers old azz either. Rocks avg. more runs vs. lefties than Tigers are vs. righties, and i still think the Tigers pen sucks.

    ROCKIES +138: The Rocks took a lot of money here as I got them +153 early in real life. This looks like a pitching mismatch in favor of Rogers at first glance, but consider that Reynolds has pitched much better lately, with three Quality Starts in his last four outings. It should help his cause that the Tigers have never faced him before. Meanwhile, Rogers was hit hard in his last outing, allowing five earned runs and nine hits in just 5.1 innings vs. St. Louis.

    Astros +157. Taking the home team with the best chance to make up some ground and finish respectably. Plus, Berkman is hitting very well.

    When you learn how to spell correctly pokernut9999,

    Rather leave a (i) out then be so far off base as to talk about sweeps when not possible.
