Oldman's Pick For Thursday 6/22/06 - 2-0 (+2.90) YTD

[oldmanTED]

Looking at the Minnesota/Houston game tonight. Clemens makes his return after preparing in the minors. Although he looked decent in his outings, this is a different level and he may not be fully ready to do his best. He will be limited to probably 5 innings maximum. Meanwhile, the young sensation Liriano is on the mound for the Twins who have run off 8 of their last 10. With a small price on a team playing well that will be up for Clemens start, think the Twins are a fair price. Hence,

1* Minnesota -122 (Pinnacle)

Year To Date Record: 2-0 (+2.90)

Good Luck All.

As you know, I only bet a few baseball games throughout the year. This is only my third personal play, not including the CWS. I like this spot. Hope you are well and best of luck the remainder of the MLB season.
