after a sizzling 3 day singlehanded destruction of WSEX and bookmaker, i aims to make it 4

NYY-160. I am aware of the juice, but these are two teams headed in very different directions. One team has a bullpen and a top 5 AL pitcher, the other team has no pen at all, loses 60% of its road games, and sucks. Guthrie is not bad, but the yanks bats woke up to some extent last night (just not when it mattered)

TEX EVEN: From what i have seen the last few years as a texas fan, they always handle felix. And seattle isnt even good anymore. Seattle's hitting makes the giants look like the redsox. Seattle is a heartless, gutless team with a decent pen. But i will take the best offense in the world against the worst, at home,. at even money, every day of the week


those are my two gems
other leans include LAA, KC, LAD

[baazigar]

love TEX today!

[TheLock]

really like both your plays

Mets will pound Nolasco tnite

[ryanXL977]

i am personally a big disbeliever in maine and a fan of nolasco

why do you say they will pound fla?

[max_asdf]

i like fla too...

[EagesBets]

Look at delgado, wright, and beltran's #'s vs nolasco

also look at uggla, jacobs, and ramirez's #'s vs Maine...



they own nolasco (all .300-400+ lifetime)

maine owns them (only guy that is batting over .300 vs Maine is hermida)

[johnnymapalo]

Personally, I think Maine is hot garbage. He walks too many batters and he's an iffy pitcher to me. I'm just counting on the Mets batters to rattle Nolasco...

[fifawcs]

The better team is the Mets. They have a consistently good pen, with the exception of Heilman. The offense is solid right now and it seems as if Maine is starting to find his groove. Bet against them if you want, but the Mets are like the Yankees in the sense that they are both older teams that take a while to get hot.

[rjt721]

One team has a bullpen and a top 5 AL pitcher, the other team has no pen at all

Not that I disagree with the play (I prefer the under to either side), but Baltimore's pen is the strength of its team. Jim Johnson, in particular, might be the best setup man in the AL.

Good luck.

[Totolover1409]

I've parlayed nyy -180 and mets at -121.

Risking $110 to win $210.

[ryanXL977]

allright, balti has a so-so pen. not bad, but sherrill is nothing to write home about

maine is awful though. i am not sure on that game

[ryanXL977]

i would also like to add AZ+105 to my picks

maddux is god awful, pads have one major league hitter, and az is 15 games better than the pads. Why not take a better team at plus money? owings sucks but so does maddux. and az has a better pen

[max_asdf]

maddux is due though....

take the home team?

[ryanXL977]

i dont believe in players being due
maddux is 42 with a 20 game below 500 team

[max_asdf]

either cueto or maddux will win........ today

[ryanXL977]

i dont agree, cueto is god awful.
but then, so are the stros

if i had to pick one it would be cueto

bu0t why do you say one will win today
they can both lose

maddux is bad vs az and az is WAAY better

[max_asdf]

i jus looked at maddux vs az
lol

but owings has a lost vs sd this yr too.. when he was actually doing better as well
his first game as starter in a while

just see no reason to back ari over sd on the road.. .not saying back maddux but no value for me on any side...not worth the risk

cant trust owings, 1st game in a while, and ari on the road...

jus my thoughts

[ryanXL977]

is sd a good team? is maddux a good pitcher? is sd good at home? i am not betting owings, i am betting az
these pitchers both suck, i will take a good team plus money vs a bad team
thats how i bet

ryan.

I just got home from work.

Eages pretty much covered all the reasons why I think the Mets will pound Florida.

Also, although Florida took 2 of 4 from Chicago, they were like 3-30 with RISP and a lot of bats have been cold over there.

[ryanXL977]

i wont be betting that game
i like the marlins and i hate the mets and i think maine is trash
florida is hard to predict. if they move to plus money, i may be on them

Although I'm on NY tonight, I strongly disagree that the Mets are a better team. They are an overrated team if anything.

But they will pound Nolasco tonight. The Mets ALWAYS pound Nolasco.

[ryanXL977]

i agree that the mets are overrated
to me, they are not a good team at all
they are hot now. they are inconsistent
they do not impress me at all
