I went 2-2 picking up 0.36 units last night. All I can say is a winning night beats a losing night, no matter how small. Hit my only favorite and went 1-2 with my underdog picks. I will take it. I have slowed down some, but continue to have a decent season so far. Here are Sunday’s plays.
San Francisco +108 vs Phillies………………..I really love this Lincecum kid for the Giants. He made his debut vs these same Phillies and got shelled, but he has looked great ever since. He is the Giants version of Cole Hamels of the Phillies. These two young kids are going to dominate for a few years. The nerves got the best of him in his first start. It was even on the ESPN Sunday night game of the week. The phils have been struggling hitting the ball lately. Even in yesterday’s win, they only had six hits. His mound opponent, Garcia has been a bust so far for the phillies. Huge pitching advantage for the Giants in this one. Only thing philly has in their favor is home field, and in philly that can be a disadvantage if they fall behind early. Philly a tough town to play in. Now add the fact we are getting the Giants as a dog, and you have a pretty good shot at a winner with good odds.
Boston -135 vs Yankees…………….I was on the Sox yesterday and it was not looking good for a while and then the troubled yankee team showed up and the sox blew them out with a mistake filled yankee defense. They look confused out there. I think the yanks have it in their heads what could go wrong next? With Beckett being 8-0, most of the time I go against a guy with a record like this. They are not going to win forever and go 23-2. But Beckett was on the DL and did not pitch for a couple of weeks, so I think he is still fresh. In his first start off the DL he looked decent and got the win. I think he will be on his game tonight. Yanks were lucky and already got their win in this series and they are not going to take the series. Pettitte is 14-6 career vs Boston, but this is not the same Pettitte he used to be. I think he is 1-1 this year vs them. In my opinion these are really nice odds to get Boston at home with a guy like Josh Beckett on the hill. I will take it.
Cleveland -111 vs Detroit…………..Bonderman vs Sowers. Bonderman the much better pitcher. He is 4-0, with an era of 3.34, while Sowers is 1-5, with an era of 6.29. The tigers however are only 5-4 in Bonderman’s starts, that tells me he is due for a loss and playing at Cleveland with their great home record is the perfect spot for it to happen. I don’t think Sowers is as bad as his record either. This one should be a shootout today. If I played totals, over would be a play for me. Cleveland is going to outscore the tigers today, I can feel it. Again, getting a team who is at home, where they are 19-5 and only laying -111. What a deal! I will take this one as well.
Atlanta +127 vs Cubs……………I am taking Atlanta again for much of the same reasons I did yesterday. Because the braves are the braves and the cubs are the cubs. Braves on of the better teams in the national league, while the cubs are supposed to be one of the better teams in the national league, but ALWAYS do not play up to their potential. If Atlanta was a favorite, I would probably lay off this game, but I have to try them as a dog.
Washington +114 vs San Diego…………I have read a lot about how David Wells owns the nats, so what. David Wells is no where near the same pitcher he used to be, especially on the road. The nats already beat Peavy this week, so they are more than capable of beating Wells. Another one of my gut feeling plays in this one.
I like my combination of two favs and three dogs today. I added the fifth play of Washington at the last minute, sometimes that comes back to haunt me when I do that. I see a 3-2 day at worst, but 4-1 would put a smile on my face.
Good Luck Everybody!!
