Win on Zona was my last posted selection for the regular season. Had some rough spots toward the end, but I'm happy with the season. White Sox had a nice finish too, but keep in mind the tough wins weren't all that tough and both came at home. Something about Chicago not just White Sox, but Cubs too even though they tapered towards the end that home field looks mighty strong.
Let's get this party started right.

Brandon Webb and the Arizona diamondbacks are in hunt for October. 21 game winner Webb hit a rough patch losing three in a row from 8/26, 8/31 & 9/6, but that's behind him coming back strong the following two games with 15 innings 13 hits 2 ER both winners. Away record 10-5, team record 10-7 with excellent 1.14 WHIP coming into St Louis in a spot to improve.
Todd Wellemeyer has done well for the Cards with 12-8, but team record 14-16 means Cards have not done their part when Todd does not factor into the game. He is also posting better numbers on the road too bad this one is at home. Loser of 4 out of last 5 while pitching quality or near quality starts as 4 out of last 5 has also gone Under.

Tonight is a historical night as Yankee Stadium, the 3rd oldest of current active ball parks, will close it's doors after tonight's home stand against Baltimore. Andy Pettite getting the ball is appropriate and there seems to be no doubt about Yankees taking this game. Consensus +70% are laying the thick chalk so the alternative is to look at the Run Line? To be clear Pettite comes in pitching 4 non-quality starts out of last 5, lone quality start was still a loser making all of last 5 starts team losses. Yanks are 1-9 in Andy's last 10 starts his home record is much worse than on the road 5-8 with team record 6-10. Still Andy is not all to blame as Yanks bats scored no more than 3 runs in any of those 5 straight losers total of 10 runs in 5 games. That's also adding to his huge Under bias O/U 9-23
Chris Waters barely got his feet wet with 53 innings, but coming off a shut out of Blue Jays.
I don't see that as a good sign as Waters got rung by Texas back in August after shutting down the Angels for 8 innings. He has followed a quality start with a stinker twice in his 9 starts. O's do back up Waters on the road and team is 3-1.
I think Yanks will take the game, but expect O's to give them a game. Don't be surprised if O's take the lead going into late inning only to have it slip away.

Odalis Perez 6-10, 12 quality starts 4.48 ERA, 1.52 WHIP. His record does not give you much indication, but to fade him more times than not. His home record less than on the road, but Washington has managed to have 8-6 winning record. That bit of information maybe a cause for further investigation. Perez has been durable this year with 27 games and though he has 11 ND Nats have pulled out 6-5 in those situations. Out of those ND at home the record is 6-1. Odalis coming off a 3 inning stinker at New York Mets and he is in a bounce back spot at home facing the Mets again. Another important point is the Under which is a stand out O/U 3-11 Odalis at home. Don't worry about Mets with Mike they're facing the lowest scoring team in MLB.

The Hurricane has altered the course of things to come. I'm referring to Chicago Cubs and Houston Astros. The damage was not that bad, but this game has been moved to Miller park.
There are interesting changes to how the pitchers will fare. Zambrano is not in his best form and has more than his share of non-quality starts, but he does hold his own on the road. That might not been good enough with Randy Wolfe pitching strong, very strong at home, but no so away from Minute Maid. His recent form has him pitching well away and home, but one place that has given Randy problems is Miller Park. While Zambrano doesn't mind the cozy confines of Miller Randy will have those bad flash backs. Go with Cubs.

I'm having issues with MatchBook exchange and it's really putting a damper on capping my games and getting info published. I like to think it's a isolated incident, but they are just dragging to resolve it and it's getting on my nerves. I will make noise if this keeps up.
Like I tell anyone who listen, keep multiple books and limit exposure because if any of these books go belly up you'll end up holding a empty bag. It doesn't matter how cheap they sell it if it doesn't work. When the exodus starts it will be swift.
I'd advise having 3 Off Shore accounts without affiliation. You can get more, but any less makes it really hard to get competitive rates and if you go more than 5 accounts you better be good at organizing. I'm not as close with Pinnacle Sports since they pulled out of U.S. , but they are still the top book around. I'm also going to give good house seal to BookMaker they are the open line where you can gauge the market and play'em big. Another choice is Greek or Bet Jamaica, they are affiliated, Both very good and for MLB Bet Jamaica has competitive lines, bonus programs and great BetJamaica transfer card allowing to pull money from ATM. Do your own research and don't forget to look at Sportsbook Review.

Game 1 NYY 7-2 Mussina 3rd straight win against the Rays went 6 innings scattering 1 allowing 2 runs.
Garza was not on his game, but Rays were sloppy too, with 5 innings 5 hits 6 runs 4 earned.
NYY improved to 8-5 against the Rays. Marte pitched facing 2 and Chamberlin faced 1 in 8th and Giese finished the 9th for NYY.
Miller pitched 2 innings 2 hits no run, Hammel pitched 1 inning 2 hits 1 run (HR) and Salas gave nothing with 2 K'sin the 9th.
Tonight Yankees send Carl Pavano only his 3rd start since coming back from DL. He has pitched 16 innings in 2 starts 163 pitches and has 2 wins to show for it with 3.27 ERA. He's return is looking pretty good and he only threw 72 pitches last outing. He come in on a spot to decline in quality on the road, but still might be tough to beat.
Edwin Jackson gets the call for to tie up this series and he comes in hot winning 6 of last 7 with 5 quality start close to all 7 starts being quality with 2.59 ERA in this stretch.
Game 1 looked like it wanted to go Over as it threatened with 12 hits by the Rays and 9 by the Yankees and that tone will carry over to game 2, but speculating Jackson can stay on his game I like the Under to cash. Edwin and Rays have been tough on division rivals with Under games having advantage, 4-8. Home games O/U 5-8.

Busy weekend ! Football is in the air and I think it weakens the books with all the frenzy. They should be use to it, but it makes me feel a bit better thinking baseball info is not as sharp. Like to look at under the radar type games at this point.
Colorado at San Diego is one of them. It's a "who cares" type of game with Rockies mounting a quiet winning streak of 4 before dropping one and they are back on the win in game 1 against the Padre. But Padres are hitting of late and bull pen has been on the rise combine with Jimenez in a spot to decline from last outing. Pads put in a triple A call up, but in this pitcher friendly ball park has shined on the home team of late. Pads took out Webb, Randy Johnson and Jimenez could very likely be the next accomplished pitcher to go down in PetCo Park.
Go with the home team as a good size dog to keep the NL West in check.

Pads put in a triple A call up, but in this pitcher friendly ball park has shined on the home team of late. Pads took out Webb, Randy Johnson and Jimenez could very likely be the next accomplished pitcher to go down in PetCo Park.
Go with the home team as a good size dog to keep the NL West in check.

This game, this match up today may not live up to it's past billing, but you gotta cap it and bet it like you mean it because Red Sox are in the Bronx for the final days of this storied stadium.
Jon Lester will lead the quest to put the daggard as the first 2 contest in this series was not even close.
Lester is #2 money pitcher after Matsuzaka. He's pitched 16 innings allowing 2 runs against the Yanks this year. Lester returns to Yankee Stadium where he shut down the Bombers going all the way on 7/03. He is coming off a bad outing against Toronto yet he has 5 quality starts out of last 7, 8 quality out of 10 against division and Boston has not lost Lester's start in a row.
Yankees maybe down, but they are not going away without a fight. Taking the home mound will be Bombers top money pitcher Mike Mussina. Yankees undefeated with Moose on the job in August. He is also 5 quality out of last 7. Mike also coming into a spot to improve after a non quality start with no decision. His 1.20 drops to 0.97 WHIP under daylight and Yanks stand 7-1
It looks like a good one and should be closer than the first 2. I'm taking the UNDER and backing Mussina to stop the bleeding at home. I expect Yankees bats to make their adjustments against Lester and salvage this series at Bronx. Yanks also 15-3 in game 3 of series after a loss.
BOS/NYY UNDER 9.5 at -110 for 1 unit(W)
NYY -118 for 1 unit(W)

White Sox will kick it off in Baltimore by taking care of some unfinished business. Conclusion of 11 innings 3-3 tied game that was canceled due to rain back in April 28th. Looks like Chicago will send D.J Carrasco or Matt Thornton and O's have not yet announced their pitcher. Either way it'll eat up pitchers from the main event with Clayton Richard vs Chris Waters. Not much to say about these two pitchers with limited innings, but I don't see them going deep. The pens have been some what taxed coming into this series and I feel that bats will have advantage on both sides.
CWS/BAL OVER 11.5 at -107 for 1 unit(L)
This line has pushed to 12 and when you get a inflated contract, sell it.
Take the money without the risk no need to refuse good money on the table.
CWS/BAL UNDER 11.5 at +131 for 1 unit(W)
1-1 +0.24 units
