Playing the board until the All-Star break

[Gator627]

Just for fun. I will have some real plays marked though. I do want to track how I do taking certain teams, though. Consider this a research study.

Actual plays in Bold.

All lines will be from 5dimes as they seem to have the most standard lines.

St. Louis -115 over the Mets.
Cincinnati -151 over the Pirates. (Maholm kills me....)
Florida -145 over the Nats.
Dodgers +140 over the Astros
Padres +122 over the Rockies. (SD kills me)
Brewers +115 over the D-Backs.
Cubs -130 over Zito:lol:
Royals -106 over the Orioles.
Rangers +170 over the Yanks.
Rays -146 over Red Sox.
Twins +101 over the Tigers.
White Sox -150 over the Indians.
Oakland +124 over the Angels.
Toronto -153 over the Mariners.

I've been tracking my totals plays for about 4 days now. Normally I am terrible on totals but I have gone 9 games over .500 over this span. Wish I had played them all.

Funny timing of this thread... today I wanted to play the board on "micro" bets to see how it goes with one of my money management new wrinkles.

I myself like totals, but for today, several close sides and totals so I chose 8 picks so far with some more possibly for the West Coast games before the start of those games (pasting for accountability, grins):

<table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 291pt;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="388"><col style="width: 213pt;" width="284"> <col style="width: 78pt;" width="104"> <tbody><tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt; width: 213pt;" width="284" height="20">Boston (Masterson) at Tampa Bay (Shields)</td> <td style="width: 78pt;" width="104">Under 8.5 </td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">Cleveland (Sowers) at Chicago (A) (Floyd)</td> <td>Chicago (A) -1.5</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">Cleveland (Sowers) at Chicago (A) (Floyd)</td> <td>Under 9.5</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">Los Angeles (N) (Stults) at Houston (Oswalt)</td> <td>Houston -1.5</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">Milwaukee (Bush) at Arizona (Davis)</td> <td>Arizona</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">Pittsburgh (Maholm) at Cincinnati (Harang)</td> <td>Pittsburgh</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">Texas (Feldman) at New York (A) (Mussina)</td> <td>Under 10</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">Washington (Redding) at Florida (Tucker)</td> <td>Florida</td> </tr> </tbody></table>
I know some of the picks are not popular like ARI or FLA but I'm fading Bush and I just think FLA has an edge & I don't care if WAS has not lost the last 9 times that Redding is on the mound, whoopie.

11-3 +9.16u on the night. I'm in shock. I wouldve been glad with a .500 night.

NL - 5-2
AL - 6-1

2-1 +1u on actual plays.

Very nice night, Gator627.

For me, I was possibly on a way to a nice 7-1 evening with one bad pick of CLE/CWS Under 9.5. Then FLA let WAS take lead, and FLA had to come back in 9th and 10th to win it. Next, two games that I had in the H2H contest -- BOS/TB Under 8.5 (contest line was a 9) and BOS getting 2 runs in top of 9th to make it a 4-5 game. PIT as a +150 dog let CIN's Griffey get a 2-run walk-off homer in bottom 9th.

And of course, my opponent had 2 same picks as in my list, CWS -1.5 and ARI (he also had STL that did win, too). He posted at 6:57pm so I do wonder if he chose 2 of his plays off my post, dunno. cmoney17 is a new RXer who has only posted in the contests, no other posts of any kind. Never mind me, I'm just frustrated with my night.
