Picks for today
Rays
Rays/Sox over 7.5
Blue Jays/Angels under 9
Cubs -1.5
Dbacks/Braves over 10
I think Archer is a good bounce back spot for the Rays as Buchholz has been bad this year, despite last outting looking good (1 run against Tigers in Detroit). The over 7.5 also looks good as I expect each pitcher to give up at least 3 and another couple coming from the pens. The over is 6-1 in their last 7.
The blue jays are 8-23 Over/Under against Lefties. While Skaggs and Dickey can get murdered, Dickey has a 3.3 ERA in his last three starts and been better lately. I'd much prefer this one at 9.5 but will take 9. At home with a total of 9-9.5, they're 13-18 O/U and 23-29 O/U in all games at 9-9.5 and 49-70 in all games this year.
Dbacks / Braves over - Cruise over to the expanded matchup report and just look at the over stats on Dbacks .. 40-21 at home, 20-7 at home as a favorite of -110 to -150 .. you can see why this has gotten to 10 runs. Ride it out as long as you can.
I don't like making tons of picks, but Cincy F5, Brewers, Dodgers, White Sox under, Pirates, Mariners, KC would be what I like in the other games for what it's worth.
Doesn't look like you are gonna have any takers, Tom. The good news is that means you are almost certain to win. LOL
What is the challenge? I haven't made a Baseball bet all year so I'm probably out.
Hah, unfortunate. Although I do love t-shirts and cash!
Don't stop posting your picks Tom because Timmy doesn't want to play with you. I am sure people would enjoy getting some winners.
I agree mike, people do enjoy getting winners, i love the fact he is getting involved he was 6-5 with all picks last night includeing the mentions, and i think we went 6-4-2, the more the merrier, his vast insight and knowledge is a welcomed treat
i stand corrected tom and i were both on the same game opposite sides he had ang/tor under i had over no matter push that made him 6-5-1 as i said, the more minds the the better, he should keep going
I agree Tim, the more the merrier. It's been a long time since this many people were posting at the same time, probably close to 10 years. I'd hate to break the momentum.
Like I said the other day, all info is valuable. Even if someone stinks, we can always fade them
