Even if it's only a gut feeling............
Anyway.................good luck - Chose, or lose
I agree. I like it when people post picks with reasoning. If you follow my previous posts, however, you'll know that I give analysis on the good majority of my plays. However, tonight I just posted so late (20 minutes before gametime) that if I had given a decent analysis, there's no way I would have been able to share my side with enough time.
Being from the south florida area, I talk about our sports all the time. My friends and I were just talking about Dontrelle on Sunday. There were five of us, and all of us just weren't completely sold on him. Honestly, most people down here haven't been since day one. I don't exactly know why. One of my buddies mentioned talks of a Cy Young and we all had to laugh. He is no doubt a good pitcher but he's number 4 on the Marlins depth chart for a reason. He is really number 3 in my book. Burnett is the Marlins #1, he's got amazing speed with the fast ball and sick break on the curve. Beckett is also above Dontrelle, his problem is that he tends to get satisfied easily, and even lazy at times. As far as a gut feeling goes, yeah, I'll admit it was there. But I also am a firm believer in the Law of Averages, especially in sports betting. I am actually planning to fade the Heat in their next playoff series. I'll go into detail there in the B-ball forum though.
So I basically based this play on the Law.
