    Plays/Leanss for 6/6/2012
    Some early leans I'm looking at



    Dodgers -101. The Phillies have no business being favored at home against any halfway decent opponent. They're 12-17 now at home and fading their homegames has just been astoundingly profitable



    Red Sox - 170/RL +120. Baltimore won game 1, but I still think they're a complete fraud and will continue regress to their expected level of play. Chen has really struggled recently and facing an offense that averages about 6 runs a game at home will likely not be kind. Beckett has been inconsistent this year, but he has pitched pretty well outside of 2 starts against the tigers and 1 bad start against cleveland. Big thing that scares me is Beckett's career numbers have been terrible against Baltimore recently



    Rangers - 150/ RL + 110. Rangers have played well on the road and have owned Oakland in recent years. They're due for a nice long hot streak after losing something like 6 out of 8 games. Colby lewis has pitched well, just gotten f*cked by bad defense and bad luck. Colon has been brutal recently



    Brewers - 210/RL around even. Brewers 19-1 last 20 homegames when Greinke started. Cubs against a decent opponent is autofade material. I don't believe they've won 2 straight on the road all season and I don't expect it to start tomorrow



    Angels - 150/RL +130. Angels have been red hot for a while now as they climb to the record that people expect them to have. Noesi is absolutely terrible and Jerome Williams is pretty good. I thought this line would be around - 200. Real value here IMO

          My last 4 baseball plays have been - 160, 140, 130 and + 140 (3 cub fading wins and the red sox loss today). That's an avg play of about -120 and you make it sound like I'm playing - 500 lines

                I think the Cubbies can do it at +193 as long as the
                lactic acid build up in their quads and hams are not to heavy
                from rounding the bases today so many times.

                  this was about, word for word, my exact thought when I read this joke of an OP. Did he seriously just make a post taking every -150 to -210 team on the ML and the RL? Or is this some hilarious dream? LMAO

                    If you take these picks tomorrow you should have your head examined. The only one worth looking at is
                    rangers rl. The over is better imo.

                    Their are at least a dozen better bets tomorrow than these. Look closer

                      that red sox bet looks so good that its probably too good to be true:

                      the red sox average a run more against leftys than rightys, the orioles average half a run less against rightys than leftys.
                      beckett has a 2.91 ERA through his last 3, chen has a 7.31 in the same time frame. the rookie has been figured out.
                      as far as i know a-gon will be playing RF meaning middlebrooks aka the best rookie infielder in the majors will be in the lineup.
                      daniel nava and podsenik have been two of the most productive outfielders over the past week or so.


                      it looks like an easy game for boston, but i'd feel like the biggest sucker if it lost with all these things in the sox favour

                            doesnt bother me. detroit went in with the same gameplan the rays used against beckett earlier in the year, swing early in the count. it didnt work for the rays, it did work for the tigers, thats the beauty of random hit distribution. after all, one earned run less and he wouldve qualified for yet another quality start. had the 4th highest quality start % in the AL leading into that start, and hes still in the top 10. and anyone that knows boston and fenway park, knows that a quality start will often get the job done in that park.

                            and his LOB% is right in line with his career average this year so i have no reason to believe he was lucky not to give up more runs to the tigers.

                                I think the angels are the best play for today. Only - 150 with big pitching advantage and them being red hot

                                        first time in a while I've liked several plays in a day but it's hard to resist Rangers on the road against the A's on a 2-10 streak, the cubs on the road against Greinke, Angels red hot facing Hector Noesi (who is just awful), fading Phillies at home (Goldmine) or Beckett Facing Wang


                                        I'm still debating what I'm going to play though. I'm trying to cut it down to 2 or 3

                                          alright guys, my 3 plays are



                                          Rangers + 110 RL
                                          Brewers - 210 -
                                          I hate laying this level of juice but you gotta do it with the cubs or you're not capitalizing on their terrible record in 1 run games
                                          Angels - 150



                                          Good luck to everybody

                                                He only plays favorites of -150 or higher. Dodgers were a slight dog so it became an automatic no play for him.

                                                  I liked that play but I feel like Chris Capuano is pitching way above his career averages and will continue to come down to earth


                                                  Still not a bad play at all though

                                                  which is why I played red sox +140 yesterday and rangers +110 today...

                                                      what's your point? I thought the Dodgers were a great play yesterday and I think the indians are a good play today as well



                                                      I don't have a problem with underdogs, I just don't like playing them because I want to win at a very high rate. You do you and I'll do me

I don't give a fukk about winning percentages. My approach will allow me to be profitable as long as I stay above 40% -> 45%. If you're going to be playing any favorite over -120, you'd better be hitting at a 60% clip. Odds of doing that ain't worth it. Take tonight for example... you could go 2-1 and end up juicing out. Learn to love small favorites and dogs that are live... your bankroll will appreciate it.
