[LT Profits]

Starting Thursday (May 1), we will start a new May Baseball Underdog of the Day Contest with a prize of $250 account at BetJamaica, 3 time roll-over. Last place will receive a $25 BetJamaica account with a 3 time roll over. If there is a tie for last place in both units and wins (20 plays minimum), there will be be multiple last place boobie prizes.

*IMPORTANT*
All players must have an account at BetJamaica prior to making picks Sign up here

Before participating, players must PM their BetJamaica account ID to SBRforum Staff


1. Check in the BASEBALL HANDICAPPING FORUM each day for the daily thread to be posted by LT Profits. Lines will be posted by 1:00 p.m. (ET) each day. Plays may be posted before that, but the official posted lines will be used for grading.

2. Only the UNDERDOGS in games posted by LT will be eligible for selection, which will be only games that have underdog prices of greater than +110.

3. All plays will be RISKING one unit, and selections may NOT be changed once posted.

4. Here’s the catch: Your play must include a write-up! The write-up does not have to be long, just a sentence or two (or more) about why you are making your play.

5. Entries that are past-post or do not have analysis will be NO ACTION. Any edited post will count as a LOSS! If you make a mistake, need to add analysis or wish to enter a corrected line, do so in a separate post. This holds true even if the first game on the schedule did not go off yet. It also holds true for past-posts and entries with no analysis. It does NOT hold true for posts that are not contest selections, i.e. standings, commentary posts, LT's notes to posters or congratulatory posts.

6. And here’s the fine print:

• Must be 18 years of age or older to participate.
• One entry per home and computer.
• Must use lines posted in daily thread by LT Profits
• Maximum one underdog pick per day, minimum 20 underdog plays required to be eligible for monthly prize.
• Tiebreaker for first place is total WINS. If still tied, combatants will carry on a head-to-head underdog match until winner is determined. This would begin on the first day of next month with no passes allowed. If co-leader passes during tie-breaking period, he or she is eliminated, even if other co-lealers lose.
• All decisions made by SBR with regards to this contest are final.
• SBR employees eligible to participate but are not eligible to win the monthly prize.

Last day to enter contest and be eligible for prizes is May 12.

[Pigpen]

955 Florida +113......currently

The Marlins just keep winning and the linemaker still gives them no respect. Winners of 6 straight and 7 of their last 10 they trot Scott Olsen out to the mound and he sports an era of 2.22 on the year and in his last 3 starts his era is 1.71.

[brock]

Houston +139 going for the three game sweep.

[Wrigley]

Toronto
If you go by both pitchers last 3 starts Burnett has pitched much better

[SexyMit]

Pitt +120

Pitt is 4-1 on the season against Atlanta and 2-0 at home against Atlanta this season. Atlanta has proven to not be a road team will take the plus money with the home team.

[shantystar]

astros +152,tough side to beat.

[chipski]

balt O +120
o's are hot right now play them to stay hot and sweep 4 game series .
bannister has not been pitching too well lately after he shined early on , go figure .
royals average only 3 runs a game vs leftys and are 5 - 6 .
o's are 1 - 4 on sundays , due to go to 2 - 4 today .
o's 3 - 9 in daytime games
o's have owned royals .
usually i would play royals here in situation like this but this is the best looking dog of the ones to choose from , other dog odds do not qualify .

[juuso]

957 St Louis Cardinals

Suppan can throw some effective outings time to time, but overall his stuff is very mediocre. Seems like he is going through a tougher stretch right now. Milwaukee is still having bullpen problems and I like the Cards here. St. Louis has better bullpen and quite balanced lineup. Looper isn't anything special, but I like his chances of at least matching the outing of Suppan.

[mbr_18]

D-backs +140's currently...Randy Johnson can dominate or be dominated on any giving day...D-back haven't lost 3 straight this season.

[stevek173]

Fla +117 - How are they an underdog here? Better team, better pitcher.

[GoHeels12]

St Louis +116 (current line at BJ): Suppan has been terrible

[Bshark]

Fla +115

Olson is hot. Florida is on a win streak.

[LT Profits]

DIAMONDBACKS +152: Nice odds for a Bullpen System play. Yes, Randy Johnson is over the hill, but he has pitched a little bit better on the road, so maybe he could turn back the clock to the days where Arizona was 10-0 in his last 10 starts vs. the Cubs.

[luciano]

St Louis Cardinals +116



Looper is 5-1 this year and St. Louis has won 11 out of their last 16 against Milwaukee

[Junkyard Dog]

973 Baltimore Orioles +126 - bannister has been shaky lately

[rake922]

Colorado Rockies +127
Rockies are 17-7 in their last 24 during game 3 of a series
Padres are 1-10 in their last 11 games following a win

[EaglesPhan36]

Marlins +114
Fish have won 6 of Olsen's 7 starts, including two wins over WASH. Olsen has pitched 14 innings against them this season, yielding just 4 ER. WASH is hitting just .235 vs. lefties & FLA has taken 7 of 8 from the Nats this season.

[bbyhill]

Sun 5/11 965 Houston Astros +137
Houston is 2-0 against the Dodgers this season and beat them the last 2 games.Dodgers are 0-1 after being shutout.Looking for the same tonight at a price.

[mofome]

marlins +114. Olson has been pitching well this season, i'll back him as a doggie.

[dog]

959 Arizona Diamondbacks +152

Dbacks have lost 2 in a row and haven't lost 3 straight all year. I don't see it happening with Johnson on the mound, he will reach back and pitch well here.

[HedgeHog]

Arizona +152

This is a BPS pick (thanks, LTP). Going with the Big Unit at a Big Price. Look for Johnson to rise to the occasion.

[THE HITMAN]

FLA + 1.14
Today we will side witht the surprising no-respect Marlins. They are clicking on all cylinders, winners of 6 straight.

[anjac]

969 NY Yankees +106 BetJam
Pettitte much better than Robertson/
. Robertson has given up 16 doubles in 7 games and 6 HRs

[fifawcs]

Marlins +110
Olsen is a much better pitcher than hill and the Fish own the Nats.

[mr. leisure]

florida +114

the marlins have won 7 in a row and olson has pitched well lately

[Cee]

965 Houston Astros +137

Kuroda has a 7/5 k/bb in his last 16 inn. He hasn't been doing well. Chacon is good somehow. So ill stay with him and hou

[Cabo]

St. Louis +116
looper is off to a nice start this season, Go Cards!

[element1286]

Florida:

Olsen has been pitching well, Hill has given up a lot of hits.

[Meestermike]

951 Cincinnati Reds +117

Gonna ride the momentum from last nite's win. Had the right team yesterday,; just the wrong game

CIN are statistically a tad worse than the NYM, but I see the Reds as being a small RD fav today.

[sharktank1]

ASTROS + 137

In this afternoon battle of rightie's, better get out the brooms, cause Houston is going for the sweep!
Dodgers are only 2-6 in their last 8 games against the Astros.
And Houston is 8-2 in their last 10 games!
