** also as a heads up, there will be more tennis picks late tonight/early tomorrow **

D2D, give out the hotel name and let all of your fans call and bitch em out.

Better then that, D2D should introduce the manager to on-line betting and this group. You can bet if the manager trails, next time, he will have VIP status all around, and if needed throw another guest out on the streets and fire any employee that looks crossed eyed at him. He will get the Bill Gates treatment.

4/16/13 7:05pm MLB Baseball 966 Cleveland Indians -1½ +180* <small>vs</small> Boston Red Sox (F Doubront - L must Start U Jimenez - R must Start)

I never bet against a team that wants to prove something to it's hometown after a tragedy, sports are not important but the Red Sox will be playing with heart and emotion to show the strength of the city and people of Boston. That's a trend I've always noticed after any type of tragedy the hometown team always seems to win.

I get what you are saying and my feeling is the opposite in this case (I almost didn't bet this game because I hate to use scenarios as my argument).....if this game was in a day or two or it was in Boston I would agree.....right now the Sox are hearing about it 24 hours a day, being interviewed 5x more than normally, etc. The Indians are also underrated and are at home.....I went -1.5 because my prediction when capping this morning was 6-1 Cleveland.

Yeah if it was in Boston, or at least the next one in Boston for sure. I think you're right that it needs to be a hometown game, I guess we'll find out!

Lol, hell, it's not like I know anything for sure...especially in a funny circumstance like this.

[Russian Rocket]

Best of luck comrade D2D with today's selection!

[Dollars2Donuts]

Ok, headed out for a late lunch and a few bevvies.

I am going to hold off and make our POD our NBA game (portland/lac OVER). I may have a couple of later plays and we will see about an in game wager or two.

How are the Giants not a heavy favorite in this Brewers game???? hahah

The line is moving the other way....I am a little worried about this game to be honest. A lot of sharp people are on Milwaukee here......I still think Zito is the better pitcher and SF is decent on the road, and with Gallardo's DUI this morning (WTF is this all about anyway? Can these guys not get a cab??) I just think this is San Fran's game.

EDIT: Barry Zito has struggled massively at Miller Park. In 7 starts (31.2 IP), he's given up 39 hits, 33 runs (27 earned), and 7 HRs. His ERA is 7.67, WHIP 1.96, and opponents are hitting .302 against him. This is a pretty bad track record and likely the reason why most sharps won't back Zito today.

Lol, nice. The majority of those stats came in his 3 down years when the Brew-Crew had a better offense....(and he had one TRULY terrible start there)..I will still take the +money on the better team....but, like I always say, nothing is a lock.

Go Giants!

And PS, thanks for the statistical analysis SOV, nicely done!!

I'm with you, man. I couldn't pass up Zito and the boys at +101, I'm always happy to take the better team at plus money.

Well said, this is exactly why I avoided this game.. Sports teams always seem to play better in the wake of tragedy.

[l3randonf]

Boston up 7 to 0

[alamo]

Wow. Boston letting their hometown their going to fire with all guns blazing.

I'd put it more on Ubaldo pitching like a turd. 5 walks in one inning, including two with the bases loaded.

[OperatorX]

You're probably right, atrocious pitching for Ubaldo this season.. be surprised if he hangs around much longer in the rotation if he keeps pitching like that.

Don't worry it's turning around!

The Hawks are just barely limping into the playoffs with an extra 25 pounds and a broken leg, they've been so pathetic recently.

For sure.....I have watched every Raps game all season and they have been VERY good to me....and they generally find a way to let EVERY Team back into games, and I was sure, even with all bench players that ATL would make a run....not because they are good, but because of TO's mental weakness. I guess with no pressure on they can keep it together.

[Dollars2Donuts]

We need the Jets to pop anopther goal here and kill two birds with one stone.

I am going to the Jets game on Saturday in Winnipeg, so I want them to be on a roll and that building to be roooocking!

Watching this game too, were lucky Stamkos missed the empty net backhand a few minutes ago.

Well....not really, I needed the Jets in regulation.

[bald_guy]

Well....not really, I needed the Jets in regulation.

I been wondering why you or Nino never pick the underdog with the regulation +1/2. Not criticizing in the least, and not specific to this game, but just in general. I noticed that +1/2 would have came in handy quite a few times.....Seems quite a few times the favorite does win most of the time, but seems overtime and shootouts do happen way too much...

Oh I didn't notice that, I took the over 5.5 and ML. I got a bunch tied up in the clippers torching Portland tonight, but tomorrow is the big one, lots of interesting NBA tomorrow.
