Am I sure a +200 dog will win? Of course not.

I like the ML picks,

I for one have been so bad this year with under/overs if I consider doing one... i have very loud voice in my head saying..."just do the opposite of whatever your capping comes up with"

I like the Pirates pick. Maholm has been very very sharp lately, and has always been pretty solid for a young guy.. he spent very little time in the minors and when you watch him progress you can almost see him start to put it together in front of your eyes and see him become a real major league

C.C has been super human since the trade, and he HAS to come back to earth somtime right? why not know... especially vs a depleted pirate team you could see him not be as locked in and take the game for granted... plus he is coming off a 130 pitch complete game. He's been racking up the innings the second half of this year.

with these inflated end of season lines i like your picks here...I love how people freak out when you pick a dog...and assume that seeing -350 lines "insures" a win... no one says "are you sure the cubs are gonna win tommorrow at -400. Its baseball no team wins every game... good teams that win 97 games and win pennents only win 60% of the time. Teams that lose 100 games win almost 40% of the time...

gl on your picks, hope ya cash em all

rjt, I'm afraid you're gonna have to be sure of these +200 dogs, I don't wanna take chances...

man I'm already seeing +130 and +131 on the Jays, is it gonna keep going that way??

I know everyone thinks matsuzaka is God, but Burnett has good stuff too.

The blue jays have been carrying some heavy lumber lately... hitting .323 with and .873 ops over the last 7 days.

both pitchers shut down the opposing teams last time they faced them.... I'm suprised we don't see more like +150 on the jays the way the public is going these days on well known "aces"
