The Nats/Mets under would seem to be a sexy pick...with Chico pitching great in his last start and the Nats being unable to hit worth **** lately, but, looking further, the Mets smack the **** out of LHP, and completely brutalized Chico last year every time they faced him. On the other hand, I'm not impressed with Maine's start to the season, and he has some pretty bad numbers against the Nats as well. That's why I took the over....and the Nats. I like the over better, but also played the side because getting +170 was just too much to pass up in a game where the Nats could easily get to Maine IMO.
King Felix also looks like a sexy dog with a whopping 75% of the public backing them, but, there is a reason they're dogged. For one, Seattle always sucks on the road. Their bullpen is questionable too, IMO, at least until Putz returns, and the A's are playing some pretty good ball. Blanton is no slouch, and if it is low scoring and comes down to late/extra innings, I wanna be on the A's with what amounts to imo the more reliable bullpen and the last at bat. I've been wrong before, but if the A's were dogged here like the public thinks they should be, the books get smacked silly with sharp money on the A's, imho.
Brewers pick is simple. Taking the better team (again imo) as a dog and looking to avoid losing 2 straight. Cards aren't a 10-4 caliber team....as i said last week. They'll slide, and probably sooner rather than later. If i can get + money to fade them when they're facing a team I can almost guarantee will finish ahead of them in the final standings, that is value to me.
Contreras is washed up, and the White Sox pen is crap. Wouldn't be shocked to see the O's bats go off early and often tonight.
Fading Oswalt and Houston with the Phils. Look up their road record from the last few years....and his. That's why. Plus their pen might be the worst in mlb....or damn close.
Taking Florida just cause I think the number is too high. I'm not buying the Braves as a contender....or that they're even better than Florida. Line is made on the pitcher alone, imo, and if Hudson dominates, then great for him....but coming off a shutout, I expect him to give up a few, and with the hit or miss Braves offense, that may be enough.
i also suck. picked one winner of my last 7. Maybe a good time to scale back and limit it your 1 favorite loser of the day. That or scale back the units. You know the drill who am i to tell you lol.
