Sunday - Pair of 5's Sir

[Pair of 5s Sir]

Let's take a look at yesterday's results. Houston Astros take it down for the big dog contrarian play. I can't believe that Maine, who is the NYM weakest pitching link, commanded that kind of price.

Congrats to all those who got on the Stros.

Contrarian String Play Selection

As you all know Sabathia, has been pitching extraordinarily well this season. The oddsmakers will continue to make Sabathia a high price. Sabathia will be +200 or more for his next three games including today. Essentially, he has to win three in a row from here to yield a profit over the three games.

I had a conversation with TheLock the other day, and told him that I was going to post this type of play. Perhaps I might get some criticism from my thread goers, but I am betting on the don'ts for Sabathia.

Take PIT +290 with the intent to take the odds in his following two starts. If I win 1 of the 3, units go to the bank!

Hopefully, Sabathia will see this post and reply to me with this challenge. He probably doesn't have the guts.

Radar Screen

An early look at KC with the Kid, not really he is 32 years old, is on the contrarian radar. Detroit will continue to get the money all day. Remember, Rogers is not that good. I will continue to evaluate line confirmation throughout the day.

Oh by the way, what do you think about the Sabathia Contratrian String Play?

Any thoughts on hous again on sunday. The mets with o perez look over priced again. Wolf plays them very well. He's 2-0 against them with a 0.75 ERA, having yielded one run over 13 innings. Lifetime versus the Mets, he's 11-5 with a 3.25 ERA over 27 games, all starts. What do you think 5??

[TheLock]

I love going against CC his next 3 starts. I would also consider fading Johan Santana thru seasons end

The contrarian indicators do not exist. The fact that Wolf has had success with NYM, and the fact that HOU has had success this year beating the Mets, makes this a no selection.

I like Astros and Pirates today.

I like Astros and Pirates today.

Did you like the Astros yesterday? I did.

[Kingctb27]

I've been tailing you in a few games, but I just won't do it vs CC today, especially with Braun back in the line up.

[Pair of 5s Sir]

I've been tailing you in a few games, but I just won't do it vs CC today, especially with Braun back in the line up.

The bet is really, CC won't win his next three starts. Nontheless, the contrarian indicators are present and I like Maholm. Also, PIT outhit MIL last night.

Keep in perspective, what the PIT bet is all about. CC has to win his next three starts!

[fifawcs]

I'm not saying that CC will lose his next three. What I am saying is that CC is not God. He loses games just like any other pitcher. He may not even lose this game if his bullpen blows a tie or a lead.

[Kingctb27]

But guys, it is the Pirates... Don't let the +275 or w/e fool you. The Pirates have been just horrible since they traded Bay and Nady. I can't do it.

Radar Screen

Let's look at what's on the radar screen for the moment.

PIT +huge price. If you want an explanation, read a previous post on this thread "Contrarian String Play".

As for KC, the contrarian indicators are established, the line movement confirmation established. I am waiting closer to gametime to give it a trigger. I believe a even better price will be coming.

Beware O Contrare

Go get KC +155 for the contrarian play along with PIT +280 (I got it at +290). I playing for the split and thus a profitable day.

Agreed.

You boys better hope the Brew Crew don't get 3 or so runs here. If they do, game over.

Excellent advice. Betting against Johan for the rest of his starts would probably yield a profit.

27.5 % on your money, if PIT does not come thru.
