Posers
* What makes Cueto and the Reds a huge favorite (-155) against Lannan and the Nationals?
* How many times have the Phillies won 2 road games in a row?
* Between the Red Sox on the road and the Yankees at home, what is there to choose? How many times in recent times have the Red Sox on the road and the Yankees at home scored more than 4 runs 2 games in a row?
* Can anything go wrong with the White Sox at home?

Nationals +135
Braves +100
Red Sox/Yankees UNDER 9.5 (-120)
White Sox -125

San Francisco Giants -140
Not sure if 1st5 inning bets are allowed on this thread, but if so I would take the Giants 1st5.The few times I've been able to see Gallagher throw I have been impressed with the 22 year old and his mental toughness. However Matt Cain was able to strikeout 10 Cubs 2 nights ago, Lincecum has the capabilities of repeating that type of performance if not better. He ranks 1st in the NL in SO with 114.

Game hoarding? Wanted to go for the Over in that game but can't find it in my sportsbook.

Detroit -132
Houston +116
Chicago Cubs +119
Florida +116

Good Luck.

07-03-08 08:19 AM

I agree with Head Strong as that is my best bet SF-132 the first 5 innings.Seems pretty solid.

07-03-08 08:27 AM

Good pitchers=Winning money,plain and simple.SF-132(1ST 5 INNINGS),Oakland+104(1ST 5 INNINGS),and Detroit-133 (1ST 5 INNINGS).$100 FOR $628.Roll with this and be a winner.

Great minds think alike.This seems pretty simple doesn't it.Lincecum is unhittable for the most part and Gallagher doesn't scare me.

Brewers/Diamond Backs OVER 8
A first look at the pitching match-up and the name Webb sticks out with the word UNDER. But on closer inspection, this is a good spot for the OVER I think. Webb's starts at home this season have gone OVER in 6 of 7 with an average of 11 runs being scored. His day #s also hash out for a decent shot with 3 of 7 going OVER. In his last 10 starts, 7 of them would get a push or go over today's total. Manny Parra, Milwaukee's starter, could do his part to help as well. In his day starts this season, the OVER has come home in 5 of 7 tries with an average of 10+ runs being scored. 3 of his last 4 roadies have done the same & his road starts in total (6) are averaging almost 9.5 runs per game.

darrell74 · 07-03-08 02:34 PM

Be back with more night games, later. But for now:
+150 Milwaukee 4 units

I'm that sure that Milwaukee will get this, as I'm usually a 1-2 unit player, but this is a really big play for me.
Parra is 7-0 in his last 7 starts, and shredding everybody. Webb might be a little overrated for this matchup.

07-03-08 02:46 PM

A bit late, but adding to the early games:
Brewers +157 x2.5
