FRIDAY
Please Specify Your Pitchers
Beckett vs Wang
Weaver vs Tejada
Willis vs Cormier
40 DIME
Yankees
Please note: I posted my website early Friday morning at 1:00am. The overnite line at the website I use every single day for prices was Yankees -120.
The line this morning came out Wang -205.
I'd say the website had a HUGE mistake.
Obviously, I did not anticipate Wang being -205 over Beckett. For those of you who have followed my baseball and bet on it, my avegage lay price for the entire year is -120.
This was a case of my top play getting a bad overnight line. Nothing I can do about that. I am now forced to lay -205.
This was in no way shape or form intentional. Just wanted to take a moment to clarify to all of you what happened.
10 DIME
Angels
Marlins
Yankees
Love Wang in this spot tonight. He is 17-5 on the year with an ERA of 3.60. He has not lost since August 13th and is 9-1 at home with an ERA of 2.73 over his last 12 starts. A dominating effort here makes a strong case for him to be considered for the Cy Young. He comes off one run in 7 1/3 innings in a 3-2 win over the O's. Beckett is flat out done for the year. He is 1-5 over his last 8 starts with an ERA just over 6. Yankee Stadium is where struggling pitchers go to die. You also factor in the fact in his 3 appearances against the Yankees this year, Beckett is 1-2 with an ERA of 12.21. Although I got screwed on the overnite line, I am still very confident the Yankees beat this team for the 7th straight time tonight. They are hot, Matsui is back and they are peaking right now. Red Sox are a beaten bunce and if the Royals can put up 4 on Beckett in Boston, the Yankees pound him again. 40 Dime Gift tonight is the Yankees.
Angels
Since suffering his first loss of the year, Jared Weaver has now reeled off 2 in a row. He beat the Orioles followed by a big win over the Blue Jays . He is 6-1 in his 9 road starts this year with an ERA of just over 3. At this kind of price tonight, I can't pass up on Weaver. Tejeda can't win at home. He is 0-2 with an ERA close to 10. His only start versus the Angels, he lasted 3 1/3 innings allowing 5 runs. Love the way the Angels are winning, great defense, great relief pitching and timely hitting. I look for Weaver to continue his winning ways on the road tonight. Angels are the play
Marlins
Well, maybe they can win one for me tonight as a 10 dime play. Marlins are 17-6 since August 20th and I have been on 3 of those 6 losses. Tonight, let us hope the D'train doesn't give Girardi any spots to make bad coaching decisions. Willis comes off that 3-hitter in the win over the Phillies and he is also 3-1 against the Braves with a 2.00 ERA over his last 5 starts against them. Willis will be on the money. I like him here. You add the fact Cormier is 0-1 with an ERA of over 9 against the Marlins and you can see Dontrelle Willis is the play tonight. All Marlins
Good Luck Fellas
