      At what point? When you asked me to look, I didn't see much of a difference in the lines.

          I want to take San Diego, but that line has me spooked and Atlanta never loses when Medlen pitches.

            Last two leans were BOS TT under 4.5 and SD RL. Pass on both though.

            Indians and Cardinals bury me. Desperately need Tampa to wake up.

                Still trying to figure out what happened to Miley in that one inning. Bizarre.

                  And now here comes Matt Trainwreck Lindstrom to f\*\*k up Arizona once and for all.

                  Nothing worse than being on a team that's down in a close game when they choose to bring in an abortion reliever like Lindstrom.

                      I have sprinkled in about 4 plays the last couple of weeks but I'm so glad I quit betting baseball two months ago. I would have lost my ass.

                          You have some good idea's betting baseball and certainly know more about the sport than myself, but maybe suppose I can drop some friendly advice here. Quit betting shit teams. IE Indians, Arizona,etc.. All teams streaking in the wrong direction deserve NO action. I know you look at stats and what not but those are not near as important as current FORM. The Indians have been a disaster for months now I believe and Arizona hasn't seemed interested in weeks. A simple rule here. Whenever your handicapping leads you to select a team that has lost 5 in a row (Arizona) or 11 out 12 (Indians) stay away!! Love the Pads pick here. They have been playing real well as of late and have a lefty pitching that Braves can't hit, already stymied them once plus they have sucked against LHP. I like that the total went from 7.7.5. I think that action is because bettors feel that Hanson is getting hit today. Besides he's not that good and not in good form. Also travel day for Braves. Regardless of todays game outcome they are happy to be going home no worse off than they were thanks to Washington't recent demise. Rockies is a smart play as well. Dodgers are lost at the moment and can't hit LHP pitching either. Plus Pomeranz has already stuck it up there ass once already recently. Blanton looks like a gas can and I am sure Coors is not the remedy for him. Rockies have been playing pretty well recently so there overall record means nothing to me. Now, Arizona?? I would not bet them. They have phoned the season in it appears. They are playing a playoff team looking to get as many wins as they can get. Corbin has pitched pretty well, but Reds seem to find ways to win and Arizona seems to find ways to lose. Good Luck! Looking forward to Football season.. Which is a prelude to Basketball! Hate baseball myself. I can't win at it but thought I could offer some advice that might help you.

                            Putting another two units on the Padres at +115 and the Rockies at +114.

                            Thanks lyon. You're right. I know you are. Typically baseball teams don't just roll over and die every single night so there is profitability to playing the law of averages, but it seems like this year, that rule simply doesn't apply. Good to hear from you pal.

                                Fading Blanton in that ballpark seems like a wise move, might have to dabble a little in it myself. I'm with ya on the frustrations of a baseball season and thankfully this year I pulled back the reigns considerably the last 2 months.

                                      You're telling me, talk about a potential max unit play if that were the case. Of course with that being said somehow Joe doughboy throws an effective game today.

                                        Yeah, probably.

                                        BOL if you play it JT. Got juiced to the hilt -- hope it's worth it.

                                            The only thing predicatable about baseball is it is unpredicatable. Blanton looks like an ace today, Dodgers woke up the bats.Nice of me to donate to a worthy cause today and remind myself why I usually do not bet baseball. Oh well still got Pads, hit that it will come out pretty good. I just hate losing, especially at baseball. It is not an entertaining game to lose at. What is frustrating is I actually know it real well and played college baseball and do real well fantasy baseball daily leagues, but as far as betting it... Can't do it. You might want to vacate your Pads posistion because I like that one real well. I am sure of it. Hanson will give up some hits and walks and Pads will maximize there posistion by running all over Tommy Hanson on the bases.

                                              Looks like you might be right about Arizona. That line was bet way down... Somebody knew something other than Ludwick being out.

                                                  Same as you. I played baseball into college and feel like I know it like the back of my hand, yet I've been totally handcuffed by it this season.

                                                          My theory is that there is so many games and the travel and the grind are so hard, not to mention the sport itself is very hard to play that you get such very inconsistent results due to fatigue, not giving a shit,etc.. Anybody can play baseball unlike basketball and football but not many can succeed at the game.


                                                          Take basketball. A 300 pound whale can shoot FT's at a decent %. Now I know there is more to the game than that, but what could some gigantic unathletic person do in baseball?


                                                          Baseball frustrated the shit out of me when I played it. I loved it, but I was never as good or as consistent as I thought I should be. It is such a grind on you mentally as well.

                                                          I got a good portion of my college education paid for because I was know to hit the ball occasionally where other's were not posistioned, but when I struggled it drove me insane. Like slumps hitting.Hitting is a confidence thing first and foremost and when you are struggling it is difficult to be confident and then it snowballs. 0-4's turn into 4-23's before you know it. It is a thankless game. Such as hitting lasers right at people. They say it averages it out. Some dinks and dunks fall in here and there. Never averaged out for me. It is a sport where you can do everything right and still fail. It is played out in gambling much like it was for me playing the sport.

                                                            I know I make the right calls in baseball more times than not based on the situations and matchups, current form of opposistion and past results of the matchups pitchers vs hitters not to mention other criteria. Other sports like basketball and football when I do my due dilligence I am rewarded more times than not. But baseball? Shit no. I see some of the flukiest shit happen in that sport you can't handicap.

                                                            Take the Orioles. That is a team of destiny imo. That team on paper should be about 20 games below 500. They beat the White Sox the other nite because Lew Ford hit his 1st HR of the year and Nate Mcclouth hit is 2nd homer of the year. That was 3 runs and that was all they got and won 3-2?? Dude those guys are fukking scrubs and quite honestly I have no earthly idea what they are doing in the show. I played with and against players better than them. Compare that to the NBA and it would be like getting 2 guys off the bench go for 30 pts a piece.
