Nash didn't mean to seem like I was talking down to that Giants guy yesterday, to be quite honest I took his post as doing that to me. Just because he watches a team he thinks he knows everything about them.

Anyways, do you like anything today? I'm been looking at the Padres but don't think I'm gonna actually bet them.

I'm PM'ing you to keep this out of Nash's thread but you seriously need to learn to READ and COMPREHEND.

nash when you going back to seagrape it was crazy last night for the college games

nash when you going back to seagrape it was crazy last night for the college games

Ah, the Grape, Fairfield Ct's finest dive bar, one thing, how the hell can you concentrate on a game on TV in that sawdust gin mill?

I haven't been there since I almost killed that dude for goosing my wife, then fiancee.

Good times, good times. Had my wedding recpetion right across the street on the beach at Penfield, I like the new additon there, they spent a lot of money.

[Ratpack]

yeah they have tv's EVERYWHERE in there now to make it more of a sports bar. It will be CRAZY in there for the game tonight

[stevenash]

Is my play of the day and I will write this bad boy up in a few minutes.
But it's my play of the day.

[AndrewMcCutchen]

GL with your play of the day Mr. Nash.

My POD is OAK ML -140. May we both have profit in our near futures!

Definitely like CJ Wilson to have a bounce back game. Cosart is equally capable. Are you thinking bullpens are lopsided and the game will be won between the 6th-9th inning.

[stevenash]

Can you haters, (you know who you are, I know who you are, some of you even make ghost accounts to come at me, it's flattering, but trust me, there are more important things to do in life) at least wait until I go on a cooler before jumping ugly on me please. Have faith, I will go on several losing streaks, be patient, OK?

Until then..............

LA Angels -1.5 runs +105 over Houston
YTD 6-2
+ 10.08 *

I understand some of you are not that enamored with CJ Wilson, I get thatm, I always liked the kid, and am expecting a complete rebound from his last start.

Not going to sugar coat this, he stunk, got hit hard in that loss to the M's.

Houston and Cosart are in a bad spot today I believe, Houston is not a good LHP hitting team for starters, and with the exception of Matty D and Altuve, who just very well be the shortest clean up hitter in the history of the game, the line up is pretty weak, Chris Carter has pop though.

I like Houston's farm system, they should be relevant in 2-3 years, but I don't think CJ Wilson woke up in a cold sweat this morning fearing this

Astros start promising right hander, 23 year old Jarred Cosart.
Shut down the Yankees his first start, went five innings, no earned runs, for a few innings there was dealing.

Different situation today, tougher line up, and this start is on the road.

Expecting Trout, the best player in the game, to tee off, Pujols is swinging the bat a lot better, hell, I really think the Angels go off on the kid.

Angels, have the better pitcher, much better lineup, much better everything, I'll give Houston a run, make the betting line +105, and wager 2* on the Halo's to win by 2 or more runs.


I am looking at Cingrani also as a live dog, but the Angel play goes.

[allabout the $$$]

Isn't Houston at home today?

GL either way!

This is what I do when I rush a write up, I have brain farts.
How did I know they were on the road, and not just trying to save face?

I only bet run lines on the road.

Good eye fellas, and sorry, honest mistake

I like Murphy, Harvey is the real deal, you guys have some pieces, get some more hitting though, I really like your 2B

[Monitor-Tan]

GL Nasher, I'm on Astros FF and the OVer FF.

I think you might need to check on Astros not hitting lefties well. They hit against lefties better then righties, not a big difference between it, but ever so slightly. GL today though even though we are on opposite sides today.

Grossman does, no pop.
Altuve is legit
Barnes and Cedeno aren't with them anymore (I think)

Good news is, if I lose, you win, best of luck

Murph?
Yeah, he's on that next level down from Pedroia and Cano.

[stevenash]

Cosart is in deep shit early here.

[AndrewMcCutchen]

Nashsty start sir

[No coincidences]

Cosart is in deep shit early here.

Great start for you. He looks awful.

[stevenash]

Great start for you. He looks awful.

Too many walks, had a feeling this lineup bothers him, hey, it's early, I exhale when the 27th out is made, not the third one.

[InTheDrink]

Nasher I know you're a Yankee guey how long can solarte keep going. He JUST missed getting his first bomb a little bit ago. When Nunez got sent down I thought it was a bad sign that he couldn't outplay solarte for the starting 3b role but this kids story is unrale

That's a good question Drinker, hard to tell if he's a flash or legit.
He's got a great eye dead red, 13 percent swing and miss rate out of the zone, and zero percent whiff/swing strilking out.
He's just as good with breaking pitches, very patient.

Can't handle the offspeed stuff, and that is the book on how you are supposed to get him out, you throw him cheese though, he'll hurt you.

If an idiot like me knows this, you would think scouts do to, since I access the same databases scouts do.

p.s. glad I talked myself off of Cingrani, looks like he might get croaked in the first inning here.

Your plays are a win celebration from the 1st pitch on!

Both teams feast off of LHP

Normally I play KC against most LHP, this one is a no play, over 8 (+100 reduced juice) is a consideration

Inclined to play Myers over Gordon
but
Inclinded to play Butler over Myers

Gordon has trouble versus Moore, Aoki hits LHP well too.

Longoria is terrific versus LHP, this is a fun game for a numbers geek guy

Tampa Bay Rays at Kansas City Royals - Propositions - M.Moore & J.Vargas must start for action
Mon 4/7		8601 TAM W.Myers total bases		-105
8:05PM		8602 KAN A.Gordon total bases		-125
Mon 4/7		8603 TAM B.Zobrist hits+runs+RBI		-130

Mon 4/7		8605 TAM W.Myers hits+runs+RBI		-115
8:05PM		8607 KAN B.Butler hits+runs+r		-115
Mon 4/7		8607 TAM E.Longoria hits+runs+RBI over 2		-115

Mon 4/7		8611 KAN B.Butler hits+runs+RBI over 2		-115
8:05PM		8612 KAN B.Butler hits+runs+RBI under 2		-115

Gordon is 0 for 6 against Moore .300 + v. LHP

Butler is 2 for 5 against Moore
Butler abuses all LHP .305 across the last 3 years over 450 AB's
Myers is a .380 hitter vs. LHP and 1 for 3 against Vargas
