I can't take Boston in that game Senator. I'm not saying it's the wrong side, but after tonights game lasting as long as it did. Along with that long plane ride to the west coast. There plane probably won't land till roughly 6am est.
I do like the Cubs and O's plays though.

I agree with bbd on the Sox, I can't play Boston under those circumstances, particularly against the best pitcher in the AL right now.
Like the O's, but I disagree with the Cubs play. I like Milwaukee in that game.
I also think there's value with the Twins tomorrow.

I'm off Boston.
However, add Kansas City (+142) and Minnesota (+151) to the list...

My dog vote for today would be
cubs
yankees
all other games it look like the favorites will take, bos oak toss up
desalvo and garland both stink but NYY plays well on ESPN as they won last night vs boston this should carry over to the wsox game should be a high scoring afair.
marquis is better than bush and the cubs found an offense yesterday while brew crew have been struggling to get a couple runs a game on florida.
I think the cubs are the dog of the day.

Have taken both the Cubs and O's for one unit apiece today. I guess I'm a glutton for punishment with the O's. The betting info out there on the Cubs scares me a bit especially when I'm backing a ticking timebomb in Marquis but we'll give it a shot. Good luck to you today, S7.

Surprised you're on the Cubs, that line is waaay short. Like the Balty play though, good luck.

Wow I bet Seattle at -122 overnight. Scalp opportunity, although I don't do those things.

Oh forgot, I like KC, Minny and believe it or not Boston. Don't like Cubs although I passed entirely.

After what happened yesterday, if San Francisco blows this lead I might snap...

Why take CHIC....Dave Bush at home is very solid. Bush should be closer to -160. The Cubs are in turmoil. Yesterday's blowout was due to the starting pitcher ATL.

both bush and marquis stink
but at least marquis has a respectable win loss ratio
marquis w/l 5-2, t w/l 7-4........ bush w/l 3-5, t w/l 3-8
also bush 1-5 against cubs overall 1-2 at home vs them
marquis 3-8 vs brewers overall 1-3 at brewers
like I said they both stink but marquis has more wins both now and before.

So you are going to back a team like CHC...they are in total disarray right now. This team is going backward fast....but i'd back them as dogs before favorites. So at least you have that today.
Anyway, general rule of thumb is to bet on pitchers with a losing record who are favored against a pitcher with a winning record. This system will really heat up in the next few months. Dave Bush is a very very solid pitcher. Don't let his numbers fool you. He outdueled Tim Hudson last week.
