[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.

[stevek173]

The A's (+128) Eveland vs Jurjens is too favorable to ignore.

[Bshark]

Yanks

Rasner has pitched well. He'll keep it close for the better bullpen. Taking the home dog!

[shantystar]

[LT Profits]

ATHLETICS +128: The A’s are probably happy to get out of Cleveland after running into the red-hot Indians pitching staff. They look to be getting good value here, as very little separates the two starting pitchers statistically and Oakland is a Bullpen System qualifier, indeed leading the American League in bullpen ERA at 2.94. Young A’s starter Dana Eveland has a 3.23 ERA and 1.25 WHIP in 47.1 innings, and the southpaw has allowed three earned runs or less in seven of his eight starts this year.

[oakas]

Pittsburgh Pirates +136

Going against a bad pitcher here.

[EaglesPhan36]

A's +128
One of the best Interleague teams in baseball with a 113-81 record in IL play. Braves haven't beaten a lefty starter in their last 3 tries.

[HedgeHog]

Yanks +131

BP System Play. Also I like AL Dogs in interleague action.

[fifawcs]

Royals +123
The royals are great during interleague play. They are also good at hitting lefties, especially weak lefties like Andrew Miller, who they hit hard when he was on the Tigers last season.

[Wrigley]

910 New York Yankees +131

Yankees getting +131 at home rarely see it, I know santana on the hill but still like the valur here

[bbyhill]

Fri 5/16 913 Kansas City Royals +123
Marlins are on a losing streak

[mbr_18]

Toronto Blue Jays +122
Won 4 straight...look for streak to continue

[capitalist pig]

Fri 5/16 909 New York Mets
7:05PM (EST) 910 New York Yankees +131

Dont have a good reason for taking the Yanks, other than getting them + @ home.

later

[element1286]

Pittsburgh:

Gorzelanny had a good outing last game, he kept the ball down (11 ground ball outs), and in the strike zone (65.22% strikes).

[Sportsgirl]

Pittsburgh Pirates +136

the Bucs have won two straight series and look to end their Wrigley skid today.

[Junkyard Dog]

910 New York Yankees +131 - nice price for the yanks at home

[louisvillekid]

#913 KC +123 : Royals have better pen IMO, have have been hitting lefties good this year.

[TexAg001]

Fri 5/16 915 Oakland Athletics +128
D Eveland is a distant cousin of mine..I think. And you always go to go with people who you think might be distant cousins

[THE HITMAN]

OAK + 128
I like the young OAK hurler, Eveland. My season is so sour so far that posting my other WTF reasoning is just a waste of everyone's time.

Milw +200 : Dice

[GoHeels12]

Milwaukee +200: great odds, hoping Suppan has finally figured it out....more hoping than anything here

[sharktank1]

A's + 128

Gotta go with my home town boys here.
Interleague MLB bets have been berry/berry good to me over the years!

[LB]

Athletics +128

Better pen and coming off a losing streak, like them to end it here vs braves

[Mr KLC]

Kansas City Royals +123

Tomko has a good record against the Marlins from his days in the NL.

[indy62]

Minnesota Twins +115 colarado just flat out stinks minny stinks less

[soli]

Toronto Blue Jays +122

Toronto has the better pitcher in this line-up with Purcey with a little over 2 era.

[regularguy]

Yankees +131

Even with Santana throwing for the Mets, I'll take the Yankees at home with Rasner on the mound. Rasner has been throwing pretty darn well: 2-0, 3.00 ERA, 0.83 WHIP. The Yankees have the best interleague record in baseball, at 113-79 and they are 35-25 against the Mets, who are 91-90 in interleague play.

[elguason]

Fri 5/16 921 Minnesota Twins +115
9:05PM (EST) 922 Colorado Rockies

Blackburn earned his third victory of the season in a 9-6 victory over the Red Sox on Sunday. The Twins rookie showed some grit in working out of two jams that could have led to big innings for Boston. Colorado is more easy that Boston, let's see.

[mundane]

New York Yankees +131
Yankees are 23-5 in their last 28 interleague home games vs. a left-handed starter.
