because Danks is complete dogshit. RD will back me up on this one. Masterson has been shaky thus far, but is a much better pitcher. also like under here, may wait on that for better number - 8' should be available at some point, and if not, 8 at strong +money number.

Perhaps Danks HAS BEEN "dogshit" this season to date, but I don't think Danks IS dogshit. I tend to think Cleveland might be just what Danks needs to get back on track. I think he has too much history to continue pitching this bad. Everyone slumps.....he will come around IMHO. Good luck Biff.

well-said, LTA, my initial statement oversimplified the situation. i just recall a discussion that i had with RoadDog recently (he's expert on all things White Sox) when he said that Danks is simply unbackable right now. of course, his xFIP is nearly two runs lower than his ERA and Tribe struggles vs LHP and Danks has a decent history vs Tribe, so you make a very good point that a solid 6 or 7 innings against the Tribe could be just the cure for what ails him. in fact, both Masterson and Danks have solid histories vs respective opposition tonight, so i'm tempted to take the under, but given that Danks has yet to turn in a start with less than 3 ERs this season, maybe i'll just pass and enjoy the watch. thanks for your insight, LTA, and BOL to you tonight as well.

RoadDog · 05-03-12, 08:01 AM

Danks is not only unable to get lefties out right now, but he's the most wild around the plate he's been since he's been a member of the White Sox. Like I've said a million times on here, you cant be a good left handed pitcher if you cant get lefties out. Cleveland can throw 6-7 at you in a night. I hate betting against the Sox but I probably will tonight.

Danks just doesnt look "right."

And the way the Tribe have been taking walks lately if he isn't hitting the corners it could end up just like last night.

Biff, been crazy busy with all of the arrangements
coordinating with 6 guys, rv rentals, food distribution,
it makes capping look easy. I am good to go, picking up rental
rv soon. I am sitting out this years derby, but if i can give you any advice
go for a price. Box 5 horses in a trifecta and throw in some longs. Bol
on all your plays

spladle08 · 05-04-12, 10:29 AM

Cant wait for your amazingly consistent plays. Thanks for the help (as always). And congrats on the continued success

thanks, spladle. working on them right now. umpire situation is messing with me.

RoadDog · 05-04-12, 10:38 AM

Is it just me or is this a tough card?

BiffTFinancial · 05-04-12, 10:40 AM

this may be one of the only days of the season when i don't play any totals. i greatly prefer unders to overs, but we have two of the best over umps (T Welke and McClelland) out there as well as Dale Scott (a solid over ump). Eddings is also out there. problem is, i have plans starting at 5 so won't be able to wait for ump assignments. my favorite under is OAK/TB, but if you sub in Welke or McClelland under my model, that goes from being a solid under to a coin flip. looks as if i'll have to sharpen my pencil and focus on sides.

BiffTFinancial · 05-04-12, 10:43 AM

it's not just you. as i just posted, i pretty much have to avoid totals today, which sucks. that's okay, i think that we can find 2-4 sides plays. i initially lean Nats (-1 or RL), Tigers, Dbacks, O's, Astros without really capping them. just going to have to devote some time today. fortunately, i have the time today.

RoadDog · 05-04-12, 10:45 AM

There's only one game I like and its the Reds, but I dont want to lay the -140 juice. May play them -1

i think that's a credible play. have to wonder if McCutcheon will be out, which would be great.

YOUNGBUCK · 05-04-12, 11:00 AM

Haha was jus gonna say I hate this card like the Mets and Brew Crew jus scared KRod will pitch

RoadDog · 05-04-12, 11:07 AM

I kinda like the Brewers too.

YOUNGBUCK · 05-04-12, 11:09 AM

Worried ab Braun tho and like White Sox kinda

RoadDog · 05-04-12, 11:10 AM

There's NOTHING that stands out today. I kinda want to take the day off, but I know I wont be able to do that. Might just lay the -140 on the Reds and call it a day.

BigBoi · 05-04-12, 11:14 AM

I like Texas+NYY parlayed (+171ish), TB Under, Cincy -1, Mil Under, Jays, and White Sox Under.

i agree with all three unders, but if any of them have McClelland or T Welke behind the plate (or maybe Scott), then i probably no longer like it. there is not a single under that i would like today if it had one of those guys behind the plate.
