phi/col ov 10...already played this one, no ump can stop what is going down at coors these days...

stl/ciny ff un (kinda a theme lately)..prob still think it best to aviod cards pen even tho i think both starters go deep...should have prob jumped on 8.5 for gm last night.

oak/min un 8 (ugh, just saw it went down to 7.5)


those 3 prob my strongest...these more early stage leans as i havnt capped all yet..


tex/sea un 7.5

pit/mil un 7.5

lad/sd un 6.5...instant spike was maybe a sign not to mess w until i see lad at full stregth but Kersha and another solid lefty @ CR, hard to pass up...


hell maybe i should play salami under again, that was fun last day before break (1st time ever trying it, kinda exciting, lol)

here's what i get:

PHI/COL: range of 10.64-12.14 (like this one, very high ceiling as with most overs at Coors)
StL/CIN: 8.2-8.25
OAK/MIN: 7.75-8.5
TEX/SEA: 6.5-6.6
PIT/MIL: 8.15-8.45
SD/LAD: 5.9-6.1

going to take a closer look at PHI/COL over, TEX/SEA under, SD/LAD under this afternoon when have more time.

Biff I am with you on the White Sox but have to say I am leaning opposite and liking Reds -1 and Athletics +125.

I am still filtering my angles and deciding on my final wagers so may just pass on those two. White Sox -117 is highest conviction. I also like Pirates +128 and Indians TT o4.5. Best of luck.

Is anyone else seeing value on Mariners +128 vs Rangers tonight?

Also both Breaking Bad & Pavement speak to highly refined tastes - cheers.

[rumnblack]

On the Sox.

2* Royals team total under 4 (-110)

[BiffTFinancial]

waiting for umps, if i get solid ump assignments in Toronto and Denver will probably be on Tribe TT over 4' and PHI/COL over 10 and call the card complete with that.

i'm pretty high on Wainwright and Liriano, that's a big part of those plays. however, i'm not one to try to convince others or advocate for my side. i am pleased with my first half of the season, but let's be honest - i was wrong over 45-46% of the time. i could easily be wrong on Cards and Twins, but my perceived edge under my model tells me that i'll take the risk of paying to find out.

like Pirates and Tribe TT over. kind of wishing that i'd played Pirates in the +140 range, but then again, fading Greinke at home is risky business. i'll probably play Tribe TT over. they've been hitting lefties much better of late and Romero has really been lost. assuming that the roof is open and we get a decent ump, could be solid value there.

i like under better than M's as a side. man, i just cannot figure out Millwood. no way should he be pitching as well as he is...but he is. also, M's offense could give him absolutely no support vs a lefty like Harrison. under and M's certainly correlated.

thanks for the compliment, bottles. been going through a bit of a Pavement renaissance lately, great music for summertime. the double discs that they put out are one of the most genius ideas that a band ever had. i drive stick, gotta love it, automatic, everybody's gotta ride in something. BOL tonight, pal.

[BiffTFinancial]

On the Sox.

BOL. really like Quintana tonight given Royals numbers vs lefties.

obviously im a homer but i gotta say while Latos has been good it hasnt been against a top tear offense like this, in this bandbox, give me wainwright, the better lineup, and the plus money...

over @ Coors has just turned into one of those few things i find every year that is automatic, dont care to worry bout much just play'em until it turns bad...

yea i really have no interest on being on side and total in cincy so will just stick with cards...

like where you have lad/sd as i figured 6 was bout ceiling in this one.....same with sea/tex (obviously by your numbers a little more value there) but it hard to see anything more than 5-2 in that gm for me, unless it just a awful ump i prob 4sure on that 1..

adding

2* Phillies/Rockies over 10 (-105)

Gary Darling behind the plate. he's a mild under ump in my book, and has skewed over this year. not enough to keep me off the over.

[hydrosmak]

MLB.tv being on the fritz the first day back from the break is a little annoying...

[2daBank]

no ump can stop what is happening @ Coors this season...id say only mild concern is normally we can count on rox pen being gassed and you would think they fresh tonight...i just looked to see how Lee has fared there and to my surprise this his 1st start at coors? i like that also..

[2daBank]

not gonna be around past 6:30 am, just posing link if you wanna check out what im on w few thoughts, if you up before i guess that 5:30 your time holla at me......

fkn pissed. two straight terrible days and i haven't known the sweet taste of victory since last Saturday. fortunately, i have an early tee time that will give me an opportunity to get my first W of the day. got a good start on today's games but haven't booked anything yet. with 3 1 pm games, 3 4 pm games and the rest later, have plenty of time.

[BiffTFinancial]

How do you find out who will be umpiring a game before it starts?

they start showing up on MLB.com in the hour before first pitch, but there are services that give that info out earlier and dudes who post that info at cappingthegame.com. that's where i generally get it.

[2daBank]

man wainwright deserved better after the way he pitched, freaking swinging bunt that plates 2 runs? seriously? his bender is so filthy right now and he has really learned the feel for the cutter, but such is life in bases, def be looking to back him in every spot these coming months..


wont be around to see some of your card, might have a window round 2 when i get back in and finish the night gms i didnt get to last night..either way GL my brother

[fergie's balls]

Biff, thoughts on Yanks over? I'm lovin it, only see 10.5, prob opened 10 but missed it. Freddie Garcia vs Jerome Williams in a bandbox vs lots o bangers! Thanks and best luck all plays!

Think over looks good here too I played it late last night at 10-120 and added both TT at 4.5 and 5 this morning. Gl if you play it.

Biff fading the Tribe a little today against a lefty even though they have been a little better lately. Took TT under 4.5 there.

Saturday 7.14.2012
2* Angels/Yankees over 10' (-117)
2* Tribe/Blue Jays under 10 (-120)

[BiffTFinancial]

cost myself a half-run in the Bronx on the golf course this morning, almost went with Angels TT over 4' -125 but don't want to take a loss on 7-4 Yanks win. think that the Angels win this one but like total better.

working on 4 pm games now. BOL to all today.

yeah, hard to fault Waino. Cards had their chances to put up more runs early too and let Latos off the hook. oh well. will have to check Wainwright out on his next turn.

BOL man, have fun. i should be around pretty much all day. wife and kids went to visit family. blissfully quiet.

yah, wish i'd played it at 10 but i thought that maybe there would be some lineup announcements that might cause it to drop during the morning. oh well. i have a range of 11.4-12 for that one so still like it but missing 10 obviously is huge. here's hoping it doesn't matter. BOL today fergie.

hard to argue with any over angle in the Bronx today, Hot Wings. i think that the Tribe should struggle against Laffey, but i thought they'd light up Romero last night. of course, Chad Fairchild wasn't behind the plate last night either. Ubaldo should be able to avoid walks with Fairchild and Laffey has been pitching well in the starting role. BOL today, pal.

Yeah I played with a double edge sword on jays game took them and Indians under 4.5. What about Twins or maybe there TT Over 4? They smack lefties around usually.

[BiffTFinancial]

leans for 4 pm games

Mets/game under 7'/Braves TT under 3'
Cards/game over 9/Cards TT over 4 -120
Tigers (either -1 or in parlay)

probably like Tigers best, will be on them in some fashion. only late faves that i like much are White Sox and maybe Brewers

will be looking at them soon, love their lineup against lefties.

Ubaldo Jiminez, allowing walks and predictably getting hurt by them....

Who knows which Scherzer will show up today?
