    MLB Sat 8/25

    What a joke last night was. More than likely I'll be cutting way back on my baseball plays come next weekend when CFB starts anyway. I would, however, like to get back to at least +50 units for the season.

    ytd 454-450 (+39.61 units)

    White Sux +115

    The White Sux blow, but if they're gonna bounce back and win one, I think it will be behind a strong performance from Buehrle. He was able to have a strong start following the last time the White Sux got hammered in both games of a DH, and I'm hoping he can do so again today. CWS has decent numbers against Wakefield. The home dog is worth a shot in what looks like a game that could go either way.

    St Louis +130

    Much like Jeff Weaver last year, Pineiro seems to have found something in St Louis. Despite the fact that I still think he sucks, he is pitching well and winning games. The Braves may have won last night, but otherwise they have been playing like **** recently, have ditched their closer, and seem to be a bit in disarray. Way too large of a road fave number for them to be laying against a seemingly surging Cardinals team who certainly IMO has every much of a chance to win this game as much as the Braves do.

    Nats +130

    Just cause piece of **** Chad Cordero blew the game last night, doesn't mean the Rockies are playing good. As a matter of fact, they're playing like ****. Redding has been nothing but solid, and again, this is a ridiculous number for a team playing like **** to be laying to anyone. Jiminez is wildly inconsistant, with good stuff, but lack of control....very hard to understand how he and the non scoring Rockies could be this big of a fave. I hope the Nats all beat Cordero senseless last night or someone slipped some ex-lax in his drink and he is unavailable today. He sucks ass.

    Texas +120

    Ramirez wins one road game and now he's a road fave? Yea, i know Seattle keeps winning and they're a better team than Texas, but Ramirez is capable of getting blown up at any given time, and he has a tendency to walk a ton of hitters. Not good when you're a road fave. A game with plenty of potential for the home team to beat up on the opposing starter, which privides great home dog value IMO. J Wright must start for Texas for the play to have action.

    SF Giants +115

    The Brewers suck. Period. They suck even worse on the road, Prince Fielder is out, and their pitching is a complete waste. The fact that they're a road fave is a joke. K. Correia must start for SF, and I don't care if I'm basically backing the SF pen. Anyone the Brewers can throw in there is worse.

    Arizona +108

    One bump in the road isn't going to stop me from backing Davis as a home dog against a team known for not hitting lefties very well. Arizona isn't exactly chopped meat here at 72-57 and 25-14 since the all star break either. I know they've lost 4 of 5, but good teams bounce back, and this looks like a good spot for them to do so, behind the normally solid Davis facing a team who doesn't hit LHP well. I can't help but wonder why the Flubs are even favored in the first place? Public perception I suppose. This is a stupid line. Zona should be at least -125 IMHO.

    2 units each
