I've had a good summer running with hot teams or betting against super cold teams! I bet real small but am up about 400 bucks now. First time I've ever been able to win at baseball at all!! I usually pound 1 good bet.
I like Tampa Bay today. Minnesota and TB have been doing nicely for me. I also rode the Cubbies and White Sox during their streaks...
I like the Stu Fein writeup about Shields....Rays have a nice hitting advantage over the last 10 games vs Righties along with having the better pitchers. Bullpens in the last 10 are about even. Also love home field advantage as well....
Kansas City Royals at Tampa Bay Rays
There is just no stopping the Rays right now. I know many people find it hard to believe but Tampa is the toast of baseball. The Rays send one of their best pitchers to hill tonight. James Shields is just 6-5 on the season but you better believe he has pitched much better than that. The Rays have won eleven of James seventeen starts.
James has been pitching fantastic the last few weeks. In fact he is 2-0 in his last three starts with an ERA of just 2.75. That includes a victory against the Red Sox, a victory against the Marlins, and a quality start against the Cubs. It is not as if this guy has had it easy at all. He pitches against big time teams and big time line-ups and comes up big. Scott Kazmir is their ace but James Shields is one of the best number two pitchers in baseball. The Rays at home have been the best play of the 2008 baseball season. Things won’t change here tonight.
