Serious Streak Survivor Strategies

I'm taking my life in my own hands as I actually picked an Over in a Padres game. I figure these teams have been over 8 out of the last 10 why not again today on a Sunday. The Padres will be wearing their military uniforms and I'm looking for the Brave to at least score 5 runs off Luebke. I originally looked at Sea-Fla but the line changed to 6.5 from 6. GL to all the 25 Dime Club today. Keep riding boys

MLB WRITE UP
Sunday, June 26

Remember as interleague play starts, there are DHs used in games in the American League ballparks; pitchers bat in National League parks. Florida Marlins are home team for series with Seattle this week, even though series is at Safeco Field. Marlins will bat last, there isn't a DH in series. Marlins' ballpark isn't available this weekend.

AL teams are 78-74 vs NL teams so far in interleague play, but 24-36 the last five nights.
Over is 30-32-4 with a DH, 38-44-5 without one, 68-76-9 overall.

Let me start by offering my condolences to Housecloud. That was a really nice ride you were having! I can't say that I wasn't concerned when I found out that you were on Houston. I was hoping it would work out for you, though. Remember, it's not about how many time we fall off, it's all about how many times we get back up! Best of luck, pal. You'll be riding again in no time!

Thanks for all of your overwhelming support, guys! It is great to be in the 25 Dime Club! I wish everyone the best of luck today, as always.                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Smooth D 20                                                                                                                                                                                                          XMatt21X                                                                                                                                                                                                             Quad 17                                                                                                                                                                     Housecloud                                                                                                                                                                 BOLA!

hey bama,,,got on late last night and seen you were riding with tampa,,,,seen the odds were at -130 so before they took it off i had to jump on it with you...lets get em!!!!!!

Thank you, Booyahz. 25 Dimers are like Goonies. We never say die! Good luck today!

GOONIES the misunderstood rejects who find the treasure...lol

Cool, Edward. I hope the Rays win it for us! I'm not quite sure why they even put this game on the board. The line seems like it should have started at Tampa Bay -145, to me. Oh well, their loss I hope. I really hope Tampa gets it done, seeing as you picked against your Astros. I'm not sure if I could ever pick against my Braves. Good luck, EG!

looks like another bad pick....back to square 1

of the 7 angles played 2 did the winning and the rest lost

Whew! 

close one,,,,,that was a damn good game bama!!!!!!

Thanks, bud. Congrats to you, also. I did not expect that kind of a game at all What a slugfest! Houston REALLY did NOT want to get swept! They showed a lot of heart, to  their credit. On to the next!

Keep your head up. I feel that you are on the verge of something huge. GL.

I just don't get it, Smooth. I expected that a lot of runs would have been scored by now. Maybe we'll get a late surge! I hope! Go Braves and go bats!

Welcome aboard, Xboxtonx! We look forward to your picks, strategies, and conversation. Good luck!

I'm sorry about your streak ending but it beat the cr.ap I get. Good luck on a new streak.

The Braves just killed two more W6s on SFTC.

Locked in Seattle for tomorrow.. gotta get back on track here, shouldn't have ever taken the worst team in baseball (houston) with a W8

 oh well live and learn!

I'm sorry to hear about that, Quad. I'm liking the Braves tomorrow, but I am not committed to anything if at all. You are due for a MAJOR streak. I sense that your woes will be drying up soon!

Good luck, Housecloud!

Bedard has been REALLY GOOD lately.. I follow the Mariners more than any other team... Braves can win...but I'd stay away... just my advice.. don't wanna push you away from a winner though, so go with your gut pick.

the fact that they're leaving late from Florida is good for you...and Atlanta is already on the road...

I'm just telling you what i've seen from Bedard lately is SOLID stuff.. GL

Thanks for the heads-up. I welcome good information from someone who tracks a team closely.
