Matt Latos takes his nice start and 1.84 ERA at home against Nolasco's 4.05. Seems like the whole Sox roster has had success against Nolasco- .321 [45-140]. Twins are 3-7 last 10, 2-12 road. Few Twins have seen Latos, to the tune of [3-20]. Minnesota's team ERA is 1.7 runs higher. Batting looks like a push, White Sox slightly better fielding. With out too much more work, I think the -130 or so looks worth the risk, and the Sox win this one 6-1 at home.
Chicago White Sox -130 ML

Cubbies have a recent pattern of 4 wins, one loss in the last 10 games.

Each of those two losses have been with Lackey on the mound.

Today Lackey is on the mound.

Also, the Nationals are bi-polar, winning one, losing one, winning one, losing one lately -- last game they lost.

Somethings to consider.

Gotta go with Latos as well.  Going to single bets as the parlays are to hard to pull off consistently!!   This looks like a good deal to me...

Hey everyone, I'm new to the covers community but long time better. I may not have a reputation like everyone else but I have 2 $$$$ picks.

* White Soxs -135 ML (looking for 20th W)

* Spurs or Cavs -145 ML (leaning more towards Cavs)

i'll be putting down 1k on this parlay & get back 1,941. 

if anyone has any suggestions or better $$$$ lmk, i lost big yesterday with the Mets, I should've known the long trip was going to get to them.

$$$ SPURS -130 $$$ 

So instead of the sweep the Spurs get the gentlemen sweep (4-1) 
SAAlone of the top 20 teams of all time.....Give me the team with the better defense, ball movement, ball security, turnover/assist ratio, coach, coaching staff, mascot, cheerleaders......plus the spurs don't throw away games in the 4th quarter like thunder have all season and tried to in game 3......I also sold 5 points .....Spurs -7.5 +212.  .25 unit

Jrivera~

Welcome to Covers and to Bubbaski's thread.

Can you please go to the OP of this thread and read the rules to see why you can't post two $$$$ plays?

Thanks.

welcome to covers

You will learn that if you make a play, play it at your own risk.  Since you are a heavy hitter, you should know the game well enough to be hitting it  heavy like that. 

It is like buying steak.  You pay for it, you buy it so you should make your own final decision whether you want to roll solo or tail other people.  If it was up to me and big money wager, I go with my own capping and just roll the dice.

It makes me feel better if you don't play the cavs.  I have money on the cavs myself but if lose, i rather lose small than seeing you lose big like that.  Either way, play at your own risk is my final answer and good and make that money.

Hi everyone, i have been following this thread for a while and i also want to join you. I live in Germany but I do love American Sports. In this thread, i may share my Europan Football and Tennis picks with analysis, if it is not mind. 

Here is my pick for saturday . We have 8-9 hours time zone difference, it will probably start at 11 am or 12 pm in USA. 

England Premier League 

Crystal Palace - Stoke City

Palace lost Newcastle match 1-0 last week but they won the first match 5-1. So, they have edge over Newcastle. There is also no target for Stoke City. However, Cyrstal Palaca is getting ready for their first FA Cup final in 26 years against Manu on 21.05. Palace players will have Wembley final in mind definetely. 

Palace will miss some key players in Stoke City match. These are Zaha, Chamakh and Brede, Jedinak is also doubtful. Other players also do not want to take risk and get injured before final game. C.Palace got only 1 victory in last 19 league games.  Palace is 1-2-6 on last 9 home games. Palaca just scored 6 goals in last 10 home games while Stoke conceded at least 1 goal in last 12 away games.

Stoke City will miss Bojan,Afellay, Johnson. But Arnaotovic and Shakiri are in a good form. If Stoke will score first goal, I have no doubt that they will win the game and Palaca may not show any reaction.

This bet has came %73 of C.Palace home games and came %61.1 on Stoke road games which make it overall %67 with 1.88 odds. I think quite value.

Stoke City +0.5 @1.88

Thanks AEK.  This is the spot to drop off those plays.  Good luck and keep them coming.

It does, doesn't it?

If it helps any, Latos' rating on Happy Kane's Mojo Chart is B+, which is strongly favorable for him; Nolasco's mojo rating is C-, which is still slightly favorable for him as well.

But, the biggest factor favoring the White Sox, IMO, is the fact that most of the Twinkies have yet to face Latos ... on a day which his mojo rating is a strong plus for him, so I think that the White Sox is a very good play, today.

Friday be damned.

I think quality write up and put $$$$ on your plays and being active. 

Not so sure but just wanted to note you on that.  Record means nothing.  Just post up some winners and be streaky and let us tail you some.  Every week, different guy steps up being hot and it is best to tail those hot streakers.  You got undefeated record so continue to stay hot.

Hey Guys-

$$$$ Spurs -2 for me 

I will keep going to the Spurs well until  I completely get exposed by OKC.  I have been telling you Spurs winn the title for 3 weeks and I am not changing. If there is ever a bounce back game for SAS, it is tonight.

I think OKC keeps taking bad shots and Deion Waiters is dreadful and will implode given any significant minutes.

$$$$ Spurs -2

Other Plays for me:

Boston:  This is a straight FADE the yanks play.  Until they show they can hit , I am going to fade them.

Mets Run Line:  Synder vs Pom   Cmon.  If the Padres beat BOTH SYn and DeGro on B2B night, I guess I will pay the man.

Texas:  He is not in Jake's category but Hamels has been so clutch over the L20 starts...I will stick with him at a price tonight.

Houston Over:  Both teams are starting to hit and I think that the heat in Houston is about crank up some runs etc.
