ytd 133-154 (-34.75 units)
Moving right on along after that Halladay gem last night....
Washington Nationals +105
Seems the oddsmakers are catching up to how good Hill is, although he can still be had as a home dog. Nats really aren't worth backing with anyone else pitching right now....and soon they won't be worth backing at all if Hill starts to get favorite lines like he should, despite being on a bad team.
Philadelphia Phillies -115
If anyone has ever seen some of the Flubs try to hit a lefty, then they would understand why I'm making this play. Jacque Jones is the absolute most humerous. If he plays tonight, I can only imagine the wild hacks he'll take against Hamels change up, lol. Fading the Flubs against a lefty worked great yesterday at a huge dog price, and probably should have worked the day before had the dumbass Pirates not been shut out and lost to them 1-0. Phils may not be the best against lefties, but I doubt they get shut out either, and normally it doesn't take much to beat the Flubs in a game where they're facing a lefty.
LA Dodgers -124
I have a hard time figuring this line out. I would think it was a trap, but the public is on the Reds (like usual). They don't hit lefties well either, and the Dodgers are the far better overall team. For comparison purposes, the Reds are 15-20 and sitting in the cellar of their division. KC is 11-24, which isn't a whole lot worse, and everyone piles on about how much KC sucks....which may be true....but then they bet a team like the Reds who isn't much better, and don't even get a halfway decent line to do so. Seriously, Pittsburgh is even better at 15-18, and what would this line be if the Pirates were in LA tonight? +170? +180? Just goes to show....put a few big name bats in a line up, combined with an average pitcher who had one good run the season before, and you get bull**** lines forever. This should be LAD -150 or more....
NY Yankees -117
Unlike the Flubs and Reds, the Yanks hit lefties hard. This is a small price to pay to get all those Yankee bats against a lefty IMO, and Rasner actually has better numbers than Washbum, which surprised me a bit. The Yanks pen only seems to be a real disadvantage when their starting pitcher gets knocked around early, so hopefully that doesn't happen tonight. The thing that gets me about this one, is that if it was someone like Mussina or Pettitte pitching for NYY, the line would be like -180, yet Rasner has numbers that are just as good or better either of those guys. It's amazing how people just bet names and reputations.

Will probably add a few more yet....but these 4 really stood out so I got them in already.
