6 out of 9 profitable weeks thus far.
123-136-2 for the year (+5.42 units)
Monday action:
955 - Pittsburgh +130 @ Atlanta (1 unit)
Pirates are playing better on the road right now than Atlanta is at home. Even when Atlanta gets a few runs the bullpen is more than willing to give em right back. Zach Duke is becoming a solid and consistant stud on the hill. Looks to be in top form right now. See no reason he cant fare well against the numbers Atlanta has put up recently.
962 - Texas RL +130 vs Toronto (1 unit)
Texas bats just scary at home and Cassey Janssen does not appear to be a pitcher that can put hitters away. He looks mediocre at best. Seems to be a pitch to contact type guy and I think that will match up poorly with the Rangers. Just cant find any reason to doubt Feldman who is emerging as one of many rising stars in the league this year.
957 -Arizona +160 @ SD (1 unit)
Not too scared to go against Peavy here since he must have spent a good portion of his 5 days rest recovering from a nasty upper respiratory infection. Give him credit for trying to pitch sick as a dog last time out but Im sure he cant be in top form yet. Of course you gotta get back on the horse ASAP and keep that arm in tune, but I dont think Peavy will have his best stuff this soon. Im also still fading the Padres when the price and situation is right and even if Peavy was at the peak of health I would have to still take this play against the other eight players on the team. Garland can be a bit of a crapshoot but I think he should give a quality start with all the gaping holes in the Friars batting lineup. I also think the marathon game will hurt the status of the Padres bullpen a little more than Zona. I know for sure we will not see Heath Bell and a lot of Zonas better arms only got in the teens for pitch counts. Dont have all the rest time and pitch counts but Im certain the last two innings should favor the Dbacks with Bell out of the equation.
966 - Oakland -133 vs Minnesota (0.6 units)
966 - Oakland RL +160 (0.4 units)
Oakland was hot on the road and is still hot at home. They get to stay home and host the travelling Twins who have a dismal road record and do not strike me as doing anything special (in fact they are slipping a bit lately). Outman has some solid numbers that should result in wins if the recent offensive surge by his teamates continue. Ive seen this kind of run by Oakland nearly year after year. Sometimes it actually has some substance and they become a real threat no matter how bad they looked early on. Time will tell but it makes sense that Billy Beans number crunching averages out eventually. The results just seem to come in spurts a lot of the time. Those spurts can seem unbelievable and we often think its all a mirage. Its real .... while it lasts anyway and I will gladly take advantage.
Good luck and Peace.
