    Labor-free Monday

    Yesterday pretty much sucked, as we overvalued Syracuse offensively, and then lost our late play, in which we had the right side, but were unfortunate to miss by ½ point. The lone bright spot was winning our total to move to 4-0 on the year in that area. Anyway, here are today’s plays, which I copied from my post earlier this week in the thread titled Razz‘s NCAA Football, Week 1:

    NCAA Football Overall (12-6-0, +4.10*)
    NCAAF Sides (8-6-0, -1.90*)
    2* Miami (FL) -3 @ Florida St.

    NCAAF Totals (4-0-0, +6.00*)
    2* Miami (FL) @ Fla St. Under 39.5
    1* Mississippi @ Memphis Under 50.0

    We like a good bit of baseball today. Nice to see a couple of you already have posted some of what we are going with.

    Baseball Overall (71-44-1, +59.38*)
    Baseball Sides (42-29, +40.53*)

    3* Reds (Claussen) vs. Brewers (Ohka) -135
    Recent sweep at hands of Braves notwithstanding, Reds have been hot lately. At home with the better pitcher, we are jumping on this price.

    3* Mets (Trachsel) @ Braves (Thomson) +124
    Trachsel has pitched once since return from injury, and it was a shutout victory. Now he is an underdog to John Thomson? We’ve played against Thomson his last two starts, winning both, and we’re not passing up this situation.

    2* A’s (Blanton) vs. Mariners (Hernandez) -124
    Hernandez is promising, but we’re not passing up this price with Blanton in a game the A’s need after losing two in a row to Yankees.

    1* Boston (Schilling) -1.5 vs. Chisox (McCarthy) +115
    We’re expecting Schilling to stop pitching like Bronson Arroyo in his third start back. Boston's offense will probably outscore Florida St.'s.

    1* Nationals (Hernandez) vs. Marlins (Vargas) -118
    Nationals still hanging in playoff race, and seem to have found some offense recently. Hernandez has righted the ship, and Vargas has struggled last two starts (Gave up 5 runs against bad Cubs offense, still getting victory, and then getting shelled by the Cardinals).

    Baseball Totals (29-15-1, +18.85*)

    5* Astros (Pettite) @ Phillies (Myers) Under 8.0 -105
    Not sure where this total came from. Not that it can’t go over, but the Astros’ anemic offense against a solid pitcher in Myers, and the Phillies’ left-hand laden offense against Pettite, who has been scorching. Toss in the fact that this series will have a playoff atmosphere, and we have a strong play.

    3* Rangers (Loe) @ Twins (Silva) Under 9.0 -115
    Loe has been hot, Twins are worst offensive team in AL, and Silva and that bullpen should hold Rangers to 4 or 5 at most.

    2* Giants (Hennessey) @ Dodgers (Lowe) Over 7.5 -110
    We had over in Lowe’s last start, and the game nearly went over despite his pitching a shutout. We don’t think he makes it three quality starts in a row today, and even if he does, Hennessey can give up 8 runs.

    Schilling gets hammered every time he goes out there ... White Sox are the value play in this game at +145 ... This game could easily go over (11).

    I loved West Virginia last night ... The line was -3.5 all day except of course when I bet it late when it moved to -4 (Bodog) ... Grrrrrrrrrr ... Well anyway, whacked the Yanks at a sweet +117 ... Good luck to all today.

    Good luck today, gentlemen.

    Funny stuff, Razz. "Boston RedSox will outscore the Florida St. offense".........Really enjoy your stuff.

    I was about to say, "Well, where's your under play in Miami/FSU?"....It's right there in black and white. I think recent history has dictated very low scoring games in this series if I'm not mistaken. With no FSU QB worth a flip, that might be a rather strong play.

    He's down an early break. I'm more confident in the parlay myself. Massu has retired a lot in the past, although he is a pretty good fighter (Bets get voided at Bodog if anyone retires, I believe Canbet is 1 set, right?) I think it's closer than the odds indicate, but Coria is definitely the favorite. Let's hope. Enjoy the madness here http://www.usopen.org/en_US/scores/index.html

    Adding another play for the USO:

    2* Schnyder -120

    If she can keep her serve going as she has against Lena D.'s, too big an advantage to pass at this price.

    I'm leaning toward FSU, but not quite there yet ... Miami always seems to find a way to win this game.

    Razz,

    No. I don't want Prior now. I am off of the Cubs now. My only play is Houston(Pettitte). Please make a note of this Illusion. Thanks, Razz, for the heads-up. I left for three hours and did not realize there was a pitching change. I always want the pitcher. If there's a pitching change, I'm off whether it would appear good or bad......Ruins my mojo.
