[LT Profits]

Starting Tuesday (July 1), we will start a new July Baseball Underdog of the Day Contest with a prize of $100 account at 5 Dimes, 3 time roll-over. Last place will receive a $25 5 Dimes 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 5 Dimes prior to making picks SIGN UP Here.

Before participating, players must PM their 5 Dimes 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-leaders 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.

ANGELS + 148

Going with the hottest road team in baseball this afternoon.
In fact, these road warriors have a better road record that their opponent's home record.
Go figure...
GL guys!

[LT Profits]

Thu 7/31 951 Chicago Cubs
2:05PM (EST) 952 Milwaukee Brewers +123

Thu 7/31 953 Colorado Rockies +113
7:10PM (EST) 954 Florida Marlins

Thu 7/31 957 Philadelphia Phillies
7:10PM (EST) 958 Washington Nationals +114

Thu 7/31 961 Detroit Tigers
12:05PM (EST) 962 Cleveland Indians +134

Thu 7/31 963 Los Angeles Angels +151
7:05PM (EST) 964 New York Yankees

Thu 7/31 965 Seattle Mariners +126
8:05PM (EST) 966 Texas Rangers

[LT Profits]

MARINERS +126: Dickey has been a pleasant surprise for the Mariners, allowing two runs or less in four of his last six outings including two scoreless efforts. This is his first career start vs. the Rangers, but he should be rather familiar with their lineup after coming up through the Texas organization. Harrison has a disgusting 9.95 ERA and 2.29 WHIP in his last three starts for the Rangers, and he has not recorded a Quality Start since his first major league outing.

[pavyracer]

Los Angeles Angels +151

Keep backing the hot team. Angels are on a mission to embarass AL East.

[LGBoots]

Rockies +113 - Colorado have a decent record against the Marlins I'll take them to continue this.

[FreeFall]

id normally skip today, but seeing how Im behind and there is much left ill bet.

Ill keep tailing the hot LAAngels +151

4-0 in there last road games I believe and
Angels are 4-1 in Garlands last 5 road starts.

[pokernut9999]

I will take any team getting +4.53

[seaborneq]

Angels +151, how and why this line is like this? I don't know and I don't care. Give me the hottest team since the all star break at plus money.

[pokernut9999]

Brewers +123 : Yes Harden has been unhittable vs the NL but it is hard to sweep a 4 game series on the road.

[smitch124]

Well this ends the month, you guys are gonna be missing the best underdog fade pick material available anywhere in the world...

Los Angeles Angels +151

How do you go against this freight train at +151. I prefer to step off the tracks when the train blasts past, join me.

[woodg8]

Thu 7/31 963 Los Angeles Angels +151

Angels at + money still after they swept the Red Sox. Easy money.

[Checkerboard]

Seattle Mariners +126

Copying LT's pick . . . Thanks for running the contest LT!

Good luck everybody!

[Shooter]

965 Seattle Mariners +126

R.A. Dickey returns to face his former team. He's the better of the two starters going tonight...and that ain't saying much. Milton Bradley got hurt last night so that can only help the situation. Seattle has been close over the last two days and I think they get the money tonight.
