Mavin, I wish I could say I went 3-0 today.

However Heath Bell blew the save for Arizona. Why he still has a job or why they pulled their starter at 88 pitches is beyond me, but it happened.

Under 8 ARI Diamondbacks - ATL Braves -115

2 pretty good pitchers going today in Arizona. Staying with Miley Under picks. Dbacks haven't been hitting well lately. 11 runs in the last 5 games.

natalieportman9 58-63 -276$

TEX Rangers ML +110

Grimm can get the job done against a struggling A's lineup tonight.  Griffin and the A's bullpen will have their hands full with a slugging Rangers' lineup.  Feel +value on Texas right now is great. 

WAS Nationals ML -121

I like fading Beckett, but this is more a play on Zimm and how he has been mowing down lineups.  LA struggles to score runs, at home even worse.  Desmond, Laroche getting back on track for Washington.  Could be a one run game so I will take the ML.

DET Tigers -2.5 +205

Taking the 3 run win because I like Sanchez at home, I like Detroit to smash runs of of Bud.  Can't quite decide on laying -150 on a RL so I will go nuts and get some +value on the Alt RL, even with Detroit at home.  Looking for a 6-3 type of game.

ATL Braves ML -110

Arizona struggles against lefties. Minor has a great K/BB ratio and keeps the balls down. And Lord knows if it come down to it and Heath Bell comes in for Arizona I'll get the win. Still bitter about that.

TEX Rangers ML +110

Better pitcher, better bullpen. Oakland does their damage against lefties not righties. Not sure why there is so much respect for AJ Griffin here.

Under 8 MIN Twins - CHI White Sox -105

The White Sox are really struggling offensively. It is quite pathetic to watch if any of you did last night. The Twins are throwing out a guy who played for the Sox last year and will be looking to prove something to his old team. Like this one to stay under the number

sry for pressing and butchering that STL pick yesterday, i wanted to see somethin that wasnt there. I need to correct these flaws and stick to what i know. Good work fellas, from what i can read, there's improvement. Lets stay on course. Especially KCF. That fat BELL struck again, it was only a matter of time. That just blows i know, but i had Under 9 locked away on that game, glad to see that worked out.

today there's definitely value on ATL, and possibly Under as well.
After going through both lineups thoroughly, Zona doesnt have a single bat that can match up with Minor's stuff/type at all. Minor is one of my highest rated young lefties in the game. Mechanics, metrics, stuff, metrics efficiency. Bats been cold, and pen is depleted, only Ziegler has been shutdown, even Reynolds been gotten to by Howard the other day. Hernandez, Bell, Sipp, cant be trusted.
there is also a mojo factor with Justin, and C. Johnson today, they hav played at Chase and have hit there very well before and can hit Miley. There's some important bats for ATL today that hits lefties very well,, that should def help, even tho they have been cold @SF. Pen wise, ATL has the deeper, top tier talent to shut down any cold bats Zona decides to have late game.

ATL Braves 1-.5  +145

Nice read on Atlanta fellas. Thanks for that winner! Swing and miss for Texas today but I really like Holland tomorrow. Beckett and his auto fade coming through once again. Zimmermann emerging as true Ace on rotation thus far for nationals.

Also I have been backing Felix Hernandez his last two road wins, what are your opinions on Seattle on the road at even money vs CC? Under 7 is juiced at -120 already.

Ok. My good friends. I have decided that I better leave you guys alone to run this thread if you're interested. I think natalieportman9 is good enough to consistent enough to handle to do it. I am simply going to post my own plays at the separate thread. I will tell you guys why. It takes too much time from me to administer and I totally neglected my picks on baseball. Lots of good people were lost on the way and instead of learning and contributing to each other the thread turned into ego boosting tool. I don;t say anything is wrong with that and I think some very good cappers are here. If you'd need me to straighten the line with the records - I might help with that but otherwise you are all fit to do it yourselves. GL

KCsFinest829 44-54-2 -914$

Upset with myself for picking the minny under when even my analysis written here pointed to minny ml not the under.

MIL Brewers ML -115

Milwaukee gets to see a lefty. Lohse has one of the best K/BB rates in the league at a 6 vs Locke at a pathetic 1.19. 

Under 6.5 WAS Nationals - LA Dodgers -115

Clayton one of the best lefties in the league against the worst lefty hitting squad. This might be a shut out here for him and I don't see the Dodgers putting up 5-7 themselves despite how much I think Dan Haren blows.

KC Royals ML +117

Royals get to see a lefty which they hit against much better. Huge disparity in the pen so if Guthrie gets in trouble they should be fine. Not much history here in BVP but it is favorable for Guthrie as the only guy who has hit him well at all is Hamilton who may be sitting this one out.

If I had to choose on the Seattle game I would play the Over and the Yanks. I don't have much of a read on the game but it is strength against strength. Yanks loving seeing righties and Felix is one of the best. CC isn't what he used to be but there is a slight edge to CC and the Yanks for me. Clearly not enough to come close to making either a play for me though. Good luck on whatever you decide.

Sad news.  I enjoyed this thread from the beginning.  It was never about Ego Boosting for me.  It has helped my betting even though MLB on the year I'm sitting at 60-64 -71$ lol.  I feel better about my picks and my money management going forward.

 I'm going to go my own way now, thanks for the vote of confidence Mavin.  BoL to KCFinest, Cuben, Tizzy, SunDevil K
