    Friday - Pair of 5's Sir

    Yesterday, the contrarian double favorite play yielded two victories. Both the NYY and Cubs with come from behind wins. Let's recap yesterday's selections:

    NYY -123 (W)
    CUB -137 (W)

    2-0 +2.00 units Risked 2.60 units, to win 2.00 units

    Overall
    21-17 55.26% +10.90 units

    Favorites
    8-2 80.00% +5.19 units

    Dogs
    13-15 46.43% +5.71 units

    Yesterday, was unique, with two contrarian picks that were favorites. These favorite contrarian plays don't come up often, but when they do, play them hard.

    Let me shout out a thanks to my friend King and all the boys at Contrarian University, go buy some beer and pizza!

    To my good friend TheLock, Dunkin Donuts is on me, next time.

    One small step for man, One giant leap for the contrarian.

    Radar

    BAL gets on the radar screen on the road. Kazmir will definitely get the money. Based on current line, it's in the fishy category. Line confirmation is established. I will continue to watch and let you know prior to gametime.

    Their is one element that shut off the MIL play. Bush's losing record against PIT, makes it a throw out. In summary, bettors can make a case for PIT, although a small one, it disqualifies the play.

    Radar Screen II

    TEX gets a lookse as the contrarian radar blips. LAA has big pitching numbers that will crush the number +220 or better.
    TEX has played in some close games in the recent past.

    Line confirmation is established. This potential play, will be a big dog contrarian selection, attempting to get a split, that results in a profit.

    Hang tough for right now.

    The Contrarian

    Selection

    BAL +155
    TEX +220

    The double dog contrarian play is in place. Looking for a split on the night to take down a profit.

    Go to the window and tell them you want the double dog play, need not say anymore!

    4.5 game cushion with 29 to go is nice but I'm cautiously optimistic.

    It's Official

    It's was a disappointing night with the big double dog play going down in defeat. Let's recap:

    BAL +155 (L)
    TEX +220 (L)

    0-2 -2.0 units Risked 2 units, to win 3.75

    Overall
    21-19 52.50% +8.90 units

    Favorites
    8-2 80.00% +5.19 units

    Dogs
    13 -17 43.33% +3.71 units

    From what I can recall this was the first no winner night, since starting the threads. Perhaps, a message from the contrarian Gods. Let's getem tomorrow.
