Bought some stock in Tampa Bay and Detroit.

Lefties at Detroit haven't faired well at Detroit and Kasmir vs Buehrle should be a good matchup.

I'll have some time to write up in a bit.

Thoughts?

Seattle @ Detroit:
Time: 1:05 pm
Weather: 3.5 North Fog Mist

Jarrod Washburn has been impressive lately 23 Ip 2 Er 13 hits over last three games. He enters Detroit with an 0-5 record (l5) against the Tigers supporting a plus 6 ERA. Obviously his stuff is very good at the moment and we can disregard most of his past outings. He's facing Frenchy a young pup who has a good era and has only lasted 5 innings in each of his 3 starts. Granted he faced a good Yankee lineup in Yankee stadium along with a good lefty lineup in Minnesota. Both teams are not easy to face. His Whip is much higher than Washburn at 1.4, however Detroit is another lineup that has been successful at home vs Lefties and Washburn hasn't had the success on the road vs decent hitting teams.

Washburn @ Ny 7 IP 4 er
@ Col 6 IP 4 er
@ Tex 6 IP 4 er
@ LA 5.3 6 er

Detroit at home vs a left during the day. I'll take the home team and look for them to close out the series.

Ed Rapuano does the duty behind the plate and controls a 13-7 W-L record in favor of the hometeam.

Biorythm's
Washburn C- (Lucky)
Frenchy B- (unlucky)

Any more factors?

My take on some games: Please agree or disagree as my bankroll is the only thing that matters when the day is done. Feelings are for fools in this game.

SF @ Atlanta:
KK deserves a -180 price tag against Zito? How bad is the SF lineup at the moment? Atlanta is a team thats hitting as well.

Cle @ Toronto:
Huff and Cleveland have been a disapointment all year long and Toronto Rapsinzskiiiiiii is a slinging Southpaw who's given teams the fits with his motion throwing 3-4 pitches for strikes. He's had 3 starts and all of quality nature. Huff hasn't fooled anyone at all.

St. Louis @ Washington:
Wainwright takes the mound after a tough loss by the Cards last night. He's easily one of the better unknown pitchers in the league who at 140 was a steal. Look for the Cards to bounce back tonight with a convincing road win. At 170 it's getting pricey for a road starter but still see some value.

I love detroit today but Not sure about Kaz vs. Buerhle. Kaz can be good but buerhle can shut down the tampa lefties and put on a show.

I agree Buehrle will be affective vs the Tampa Lefties but you'll be surprised that 4 of them have hit him reasonably well and over 297 or above.

Zobrist limited at bats
Upton
Pena
Crawford

Kasmir hasn't had success vs Dye and Konerko

Good write-ups GG.

I am going to have to disagree with you on the Blue Jays. In my opinion, there is an over compensation taking place for the recent forms of these two young southpaws. Huff is not as bad as what he has showcased, and Rzepczynksi not as good. Huff has really struggled against left handed bats, and the Jays elected to show him one. This is not one of the better lineups the Jays have put forth. No Rolen or Overbay. The market in my opinion, bid up an inflated line.

I like the Cardinals a little bit. I liked them more when Zimmerman was the projected starter, and the Cardinals were trading 25 cents lower. Still a decent bargain at the current market price.

The Rays and Twins are two road dogs coming with medium value.

Not sure if Kawakami deserves a no-vig price of -168. I think oddsmakers may be starting to get ahead of themselves here on the Braves uptick and Giants downtick. I think both are sustainable, but the price reflects that. No play, but I would enter a position on the Giants if they got higher.

Tigers game seems priced perfectly.

All in all, nothing really screaming value today.

I took a small play out on the Giants at +163
Medium Plays on St. Louis and Tampa
Bought back some on Cleveland
Played Detroit as medium play

The market really has bid up the lefty in Toronto, wow, that's big numbers for a non proven commodity.
