    Saturday - Pair of 5's Sir

    Yesterday, it 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.

    Radar Screen

    BAL returns to the contrarian radar for today's card. Last night's was due to the O's manager folding his hand in the early part of the game. The current line is again fishy. The big money will go to TAM after yesterday's slaughter. I will monitor as we approach gametime.

    Did you have the opportunity to see the game. I did, in the early innings. I then reviewed the condensed version of the game on MLB.com. O's manager was not interested in winning this game, he wanted to work his starting pitcher. Then late, need I say anymore.

    First time on my thread, I believe. Have you been following along?

    Radar Screen II

    DET gets on the radar screen. Duckworth beat Rogers last time, so lets make DET -190. If that does not make a contrarian play and don't know what is. Laying big money on DET is essentially outrageous, but that's how we hit the favorite contrarian plays. The favorite contrarian play is 8-2 +5.19 units. This is a later game, so sit tight.

    Your thoughts are most appreciated.

    If this were any other team, it would be a play. but the Tigers ahve given up on their season. There is no reason to ever lay that much chalk on them. The Royals have had their number all season and have had Roger's number. Rogers doesn't care, but Duckworth is looking to establish himself as a big league pitcher. So he will be giving his all.

    pai, why are you laing -190 on a worthless gutless team? they aint the bosox or the cubs

    they are a shitty ass team with a 45 yr old starter
    they may win, but there must be better bets

    what do you think the line should be -250?

    I hear you guys. I knew you guys would beat me up. Keep in mind, I said the game is on the radar screen, not a pick as yet. Furthermore, we all know that over the next few weeks, the issue of teams who have given up and packed it in, will undoubtedly be mentioned to death. If we establish that teams who don't have a shot, because their season is over, will leave you with favorite plays out the wazu.

    Let's all take a breath, and stipulate, that each capper will know "They packed it in" angle. No need to point out the obvious! Contrarian indicators diverge from your thought process. However, I truly respect your point of view and looking forward to capping to the end of the season with the challenges mentioned.

    Selection

    We go back with BAL, after a betting loss last night, as the contrarian play. You can read my earlier post for further information.

    BAL +172

    See you at the window.

    Selection II

    After receiving harassment from the cappers of the world, I am posting DET -190 as the contrarian pick. Laying -190 on DET is freaking insane, you say. You say, Duckworth beat Rogers last time out, and DET is horrible and they make DET -190.

    Precisely, the contrarian point of view I require.

    I am going to the window early (Dinner Engagement). I will see you later for the late late games.

    im just not sure why you would ever lay -190 on just about any game, in any sport, ever
    especially baseball
    though duckworth is god awful, i would guess det wins but i see no value in it
    i mean, every single day there are -190s right?

    You have made yourself clear. I respect your point of view. I would love to hear from others on the issue.

    Radar Screen III

    TEX returns to the contrarian radar for this evening after posting a selection loss, last night. Statistical dominance goes to the Halos with a real fishy line. Line confirmation is established. I am waiting closer to gametime for a final decision.

    Even Texas Tommy likes them

    It's Official

    BAL goes down to defeat in a high scoring game. Close but no cigar, and a loss is a loss.

    Hunker down contrarios, DET is underway with additional selections in the wings.

    BAL +172 (L)

    about your pick


    I needed that DRay win though pal.


    Detroit is gonna pull it out and I think you'll have a positive night by the time it's all over.

    With your poker skills pal, you've got no worries.

    A still have some picks brewing. It's has been amazing that a majority of my loses have been close on these big dogs. But a loss is a loss, a one run loss or a ten run loss is the same. I feel confident in my contrarian selections with proper bankroll management.

    Thanks for the support and the friendship.

    Selection III

    TEX gets the contrarian play of the day, after selecting them last night in a loss.

    TEX +158 is the contrarian play.

    Selection IV

    SDG is the final pick of the day. With BAL losing, and DET on the way to defeat. We have two picks going late.

    Go get SDG for the contrarian late play. Road bumps are good for cappers, it keeps you grounded.

    SDG +137
