[LT Profits]

Starting Sunday (June 1), we will start a new June Baseball Underdog of the Day Contest with a prize of $200 account at DSI, 3 time roll-over. Last place will receive a $25 DSI 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 DSI prior to making picks SIGN UP Here.

Before participating, players must PM their Diamond Sports International 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.
*-EXCEPTION: If someone edits a post on the last day of the competition in an attempt to get an automatic loss in order to win the Last Place prize, then the original post will stand.

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.

The deadline for entering plays in the contest and still being eligible for prizes is TODAY, Wednesday, June 11.

#923 Minny +125 : The Twins got to win one at some point in this series and going against the fossil in Byrd who's somehow owned them over the years is their best shot IMO. Blackburn is to good of a young pitcher, i'm taking my chances on a Twins breakout.

[Hellerud]

Seattle +120 Hernandez

[LT Profits]

Hellerud,

NO ACTION unless you add a post with analysis. Do NOT edit your original post.

[stevek173]

Sea +123. gotta take Felix getting the price here.

[GoHeels12]

Minn +125: Blackburn shuts down the tribe

[pavyracer]

St. Louis +139

Cardinals are playing better and I expect Pujols loss to solidify the other players for the win. Looper beat Reds last time and Cueto was horrible against the Cards.

[Wrigley]

923 Minnesota Twins +125
playing the old due factor, losing streak needs to end soon

[Ln2Blaze]

Minnesota Twins +125

They have to win one and it's tonight against Byrd.

[Checkerboard]

Atlanta Braves +139

Hopefully we'll see a concentrated effort from Jurrjens and the Braves, as they will no doubt be hearing all day long how they are in sad possession of one of the the worst road records (if not the worst) in the majors, while the Cubs, on the other hand, boast one of the best home records (if not the best) in the majors. Hearing that all day, over and over, should make you wanna win, but, then again, there's that word 'should'!

Good luck everybody!

[LT Profits]

ORIOLES +152: I cashed a nice ticket with the O's yesterday, and if it ain't broke, don't fix i! Baltimore is now 4-3 vs. the Red Sox this year, and Olson has now allowed three runs or less in seven of his eight starts this season. He has a sparkling 1.96 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in his last three starts, and he pitched well in his first start vs. Boston this year, allowing two runs and three hits in five innings. It also helps that the Orioles bullpen ranks fourth in the American league with a 3.23 ERA. Besides, can anyone trust Bartolo Colon as this big of a favorite?

No, but i did cash with the O's yesterday also, but i ain't touching it today, the Sox are too good of a team at home.

Wed 6/11 903 St Louis Cardinals +139
Cards won 5 of last 7 on the road,won lastnight in Cincy,Looper is 2-0 against this season,CUETO is 0-1 when starting against ST LOUIS with an ERA of 32.34 and a WHIP of 5.389.

[mundane]

St Louis Cardinals +139
Cardinals are 4-0 in Loopers last 4 starts following a Quality Start in his last appearance.
Reds are 1-5 in Cuetos last 6 starts following a Quality Start in his last appearance.

[Cabo]

906 Florida Marlins +144
Florida has won 3 of last 4, and are 21-14 at home this season.

[PureGuava]

Baltimore Orioles +152
I hate boston so I'm gonna go with the Orioles.

[Nostradamus]

Florida +144

This should be a high scoring game and since Miller is 0-1 against Philly and Hamels 0-2 in his last 2 against Florida, I'll go with the home team. I normally never go with a team that is not a system selection, but the only play I had was Minny and since they were 2-9 in their last 11 against Cleveland and Byrd has owned them, I went with Florida.

If you're so sure it'll be a high scoring game, isn't it also safe to go with the OVER?

[justdoingit]

Baltimore Orioles +152

Like the O's in this one with the bosox still without big papi there offense has struggled. GO O'S!

[Richkas]

3-4 -0.25 in this contest

908 New York Mets +120

Mets are 10-4 in last 3 years as a home dog of +100 to +125

[awatkins011]

Braves +139

Braves have lost 4 straight and if not careful they will fall out of contention in the East. Looking for Dempster to get ripped tonight and the Braves get a nice win on the road.

[brock]

906 Florida Marlins +144 Florida already beat Hamels on the road this year.

[pokernut9999]

ORIOLES +152: Kicking myself for not taking O's yesterday so I will probably be a day late and a dollar short here.

[elguason]

Wed 6/11 901 Washington Nationals +128
7:05PM (EST) 902 Pittsburgh Pirates

John Lannan turned in another strong performance Thursday in game one of a doubleheader against St. Louis. Despite struggling with his control, the left-hander only allowed two runs over six innings, dropping his ERA to 3.47, record 4-6. Away 3-2 ERA. 2.20.

Ian Snell, (2-6) 5.65 ERA. Record Home: 1-2.

[pat venditto]

twins +125

blackburn is underachieving so far and twins have a better team avg than the indians.

[soli]

NY Yankees +114

Taking the Yankees who clearly has the better hitters and Oakland do not score enough runs to keep up in this game.

[pat venditto]

rasner scares me. gl soli

[sharktank1]

ORIOLES + 152

Olson's last outing wasn't so bad.
Baltimore needs to win another one against the 1'st place BSox to get out of the A.L.E.D. cellar.
Come on O's...
