0-1 last pick. YTD 24-19 +5.50
You can never be over confident is what I've learned from my last play.
Baltimore ML at +212 is something to ponder. Angels are good, but in this game teams are made humble. Escobar is pitching beyond his normal form, I really like him, but will take a chance here.
O's with 5 wins in a row.

Last time out 1-0 *close one YTD 24-18 +9.61
Had some fun playing Matchbooks "Live Bets" Cleveland vs Detroit game. I took Tigers when they were down 4-0 with huge odds between +520 and +640 leading to Tigers 3 run bottom of 3rd when I bet the risk off with Cleveland -178 and -202 would of won big had Tigers come back, but took the smaller winnings on Indians.
Tigers are still playing tough enough baseball to beat most of the Majors they just ran into a buzz saw of red hot Indians and they will take out the Devil Rays at Tropicana tonight.
Durbin has been strong for the Tigers with excellent run support when he is on the mound.
Tigers are batting .306 in the month of May best in the Majors.
Rays hold the 2nd best record against Detroit with 34-34 but number has been on the slide 5-10 last 2 seasons and 0-3-1 last 4. Edwin Jackson will take the ball and watch out this guy allowed career high 7 runs in 2.2 innings pitched and he's failed to get out of 3 innings twice out of his last 4 outing.
DET ML -137 for 3 units(L)
Can not believe I lost this in the bottom of 9th! Should of would of could of been a easy win all the way. CRAP!

MLB Sunday
Had a bad day yesterday 0-2 -3.62 YTD 23-18 +6.61
I was planning to attend this game but not sure if I'll make it.
It's the rubber match at Dodger stadium. Wolf is having very good outings this season and he is undefeated at home in May pitching 1.85 and 1.59 in day light. His opponent Rich Hill of the Cubs is having trouble after starting the season 3-1 with 1.77 in April. May has been especially hard, but I wouldn't say his stuff is all that bad lefties and right are hitting just 2.05/2.04. His day light number reflecting much of April is 0.69 anyway it wasn't the pitchers that caught my interest. The look of this series how it's shaped up coming into Sunday's game regardless of both teams winning 1 each Cubs are the hunted. They have been pressured throughout game 1 and 2, if you don't see it that way I welcome your comment, but I see Dodgers closing this one out.

2-0 yesterday's selection. 23-16 +10.23
Doing some early morning fishing offering +108 on Cubs at Dodgers Under 8 for the Saturday day light game with Zambrano for Chicago tall ass Hendrickson for the home team. Not sure if I'll get this lines are moving to 8.5 and I've made some adjustments from +106 to current +108 Matchbook lacks early liquidity making positioning difficult. Sometimes I just miss Pinny like a perfect girl that's walked out of my life.
*waiting on CHC/LAD OVER 8 at -108
It's bottom of 8th with Kent about to pinch hit with bases loaded 2 outs.
Before this at bat I will tell you I never got this wager in. The money moved away and I could not get back in time to adjust.
Struck out inning over. Last inning with score 4-2 Cubs chance of Over is looking slim.
I hate looking like a cheater here but that's the fact and line was moving towards 8.5 so if you stayed off after the line change no damage.
Wow, Dodgers had 2 on base with 1 out and Killer Tomato at bat! too bad he hit the first pitch grounded into 6-4-3 DP to end the game. LA Dodgers do not go away quietly had Lou sweating bullets. We'll get'em tomorow! (*that me as a Dodger fan).
Making evening selection.
I'm backing Washington Nationals at St Louis Cards. I getting great odds against the woeful Cards. Nats matches up with Cards tough with 4-4 over last 2 seasons.

I thought Padres had that game last night. Funny how these bad turns still irk my nerves that's why I got the link to "You can't always get what you want" Love the Stones.
Take me out to the ball park tonight. Cubs are in town with Lilly taking the ball we'll counter with Derek Lowe. Dodgers 9-2 in last 11 home game. Though Lilly is pitching well run production has been scarce for Cubs while Dodgers are heating up again at home with OPS on rise. LA 12-3 in last 15 after allowing 2 runs or less. 8-2 last 10 as home favorites.
LAD ML -120 for 3 units(W)
Taking a small shot with the Angels with my boy Jered Weaver taking on the Yanks in Bronx.
It's always risky going against them in Bronx and they always seem to pull out pitchers from nowhere shutting down opponents. NY bats are also heating up crossing + 1.000 OPS 4 in last 5 games while failing to do so in previous 5 games. Yet I feel Weaver is a proven commodity able to keep Angels in game with Shields and K-Rod available plus Angels are fearless against the Yankees giving them equal battles in recent seasons.

Question I asked myself after Tigers lost last night "should I consider chasing?" Something to think about when two contenders are matched up, but Wake is a hot pitcher against Verlander who's not quite in form so I'll pass on tonight's feature match up and move on to Minute Maid park. Giants will send Matt Morris and Houston will counter with Woody Williams. Astros look like they are getting better with Woody improving and bats starting to connect, but I will back the Giants coming off a romp in Denver than getting recharged with a day off.
GIANTS ML +108 for 2 units(L)
If your interested in late baseball action consider Angels with Escobar pitching at Safeco going against King Felix return from DL. Remember Milwood with Texas was coming off DL too and I'm not predicting another re injury, but Felix will be on a short leash and Angels are playing hot baseball. Take the Angels on a late game advantage with value.

I'm going with a tough road dog Detroit Tigers money line. They got knocked around yesterday by the Twins, but they are sparkling 13-6 on road. Nate Robertson comes off rough outing yet he is still better away also keeps lefties in check. Plus is his number against Big Papi (0.17 career number 1 for 14) is second best in Majors. Dice-K makes the game interesting, but I don't see any mythical "Gyroball" mowing down batters. Baltimore had the Sox on the ropes last night and Tigers will have their number tonight.

Days are getting hotter and fires are burning in SoCal you know it's baseball season.
Aside from Clemens joining the Yankees to help the badly needed rotation this game continues.
I'm looking at two games today, one which I will play and other I will keep an eye on.
Boston at Toronto with two Japanese pitcher showing contrast in MLB. For Jays will be Tomo Ohka, battle tested veteran right hander acquired from Brewers during off season at bargain basement price compared to his Red Sox counter part Dice-K Matsuzaka. The highly touted Japanese rookie is depreciating and yet the market continues to prop his price. I like the home dog and will watch this line.

Pirates at Cubs (Gronzelanny vs Marquis) I like Jason Marquis current pitching form. He's pitching in a zone and may string few more winners. Cubs let one get away yesterday and they will take one back today.

Lost my only play yesterday. Had plenty to gripe about the loss and you know the games, get 11 hits cash in 2 runners when you have the Over, type of games. But smart thing I did was taking a time out instead of getting right back on the capping horse maybe making plays on over night line. In any case don't play when your upset about losses it doesn't help.
Hopefully it helps my pick. Angels with Santana at KC with De La Rosa is one of those games with Royals line looking sharp. But problem is it's not hitting, yeah it hit against Weaver and Mariners, but it's lost more. So they are at home, Angels Scot Shield and K-Rod has been used and it's a miserable rain off and on thunder storm heading at night. KC due for a win, Halo due for a loss?
I just know Angels are hitting and they kick KC's ass more times than not.
