COLORADO +116 (1.75 UNITS) - Arizona doesn't hit lefties at all. Morales was tough against the DBacks and Petit has really struggled in his recent MLB starts.
 
SAN FRANCISCO +112 (1.75 UNITS) - I am expecting a career year from Cain. Giants have hit Peavy decently well. Padres just finished n east coast trip against the Mets and Phils and were rained out last night and then had to fly cross country to play a rested Giant team. Tough spot.
 
DETROIT +106 (1.75 UNITS) - The Angels are in bad shape. Injured and nowhere near as good as last season. They don't have a ton of power and the loss of Vlade is huge as they lose power and lineup protection. Weaver has streuggled against the Tigers and Galarraga has beeen outstanding and was a road warrior last year.
 
BALTIMORE -101 (1.5 UNITS) - Contreras is back too soon and Begerson looks to be the O's top hurler in the minors. Look for the Os to bounce back to life at home.
 
WASHINGTON +118 (1.25 UNITS) - Braves are banged up and McCann's vision problems are scary...hope he is ok.....Kawakami needs better command but is decent but Martis is very solid as he showed in the WBC. The Nats optione dout 25% of their team Sunday to the minors and I expect them to play with renewed energy.
 
FLORIDA -119 (1.25 UNITS) - Sucker side but Karstens doesn't win at home....also leaning towards the over. Maholm goes tomorrow so this is the Marlins easiest chance for a win this series.
 
TEXAS +202 (1.25 UNITS) - Texas is 14-3 L17 when total is 7-8.5. What does that mean? They do well against top flight pitchers. McCarthy has been solid in his first two and many Texas hitters have solid numbers against Doc. This price is ridiculous.
 
MINNESOTA +153 (1.25 UNITS) - Regression to the mean. Baker babied himself in his first start coming off injury and gave up 4 long balls that accounted for all runs. Expect a much better performance today as the number is super high because of the last results from both pitchers.


My girlfriend was looking over my shoulder while I was reading this today, and she asked, "Where are those discounted flights from?  $202 on a flight to Texas is a really good deal."  I didn't know what she was talking about at first, and then I realized she thought the prices on the games were prices on flights to those states.  I got a kick out of that.

Thank you Sir in advance and GL today


If it's a favorite, I am playing to win 1.75 units and risking 1.75 units times the line. If it's a dog, I am risking 1.75 units to win 1.75 times the line....right now, yes, it's 1.75% of my INITIAL BANKROLL.

AWESOME the way you broke your plays down for us today!

Everything you said made sense, except the part about Baker "babying" himself.

That's like saying that C. Wang has been babying himself, so we can excuse his ERA of 34.

Pro baseball pitchers, pro football players, pro football players: none of these guys "baby" themselves.

If they weren't ready to play, their team doctors never would have cleared them.

And speaking of "regression to the mean", you're long overdue for a 2-6 day.

So that's what I'm predicting for you today.

GL

oh, one more thing...not sure if you play RL's or not, but I kinda like CLE today (RL +110). ML is up to -190 and with Sir Sidney pitching for KC and no pop in KC's lineup this looks like value to me. What do you think?

UPDATED GAMEHUNTER NEWS

I sent a cease and desist request to the handicapper that was sending out my picks by email as his own. He was man enough to write back and acknowledge that it will cease immediately. I hope this puts an end to it.

Thank you to Mr. Collins and others for their help here at Covers and to GoldenGreek, no problems at all.

I appreciate those keeping me posted of such problems so that we can continue having fun here and helping one another.

Game,

Isnt there value in the overs in Texas game and Yankees game. Texas=great hitting/zero bullpen
Yankees stadium=sandbox (As quoted from several players with balls flying out all over the place)

Guys are looking for a free chicken dinner in Toronto. This game has all the makings of an upset. 81% on one side that has a moneyline over -150 with slight reverse movement, reverse movement on the total, a team that just won their first game in a long time setting out on a road trip and playing in their first game. This is a whacky line and I am taking the fishy team and rolling against the public. I knew that there would be good crumbs on this one two days ago when I talked about it
