I am new to this thread just this past weekend. I had a 20+ unit day in college football on Saturday, then struglled to not quite break even on Sunday in the NFL. I have a pretty good feel for baseball games, so I would like to share some of my picks with the board. Good luck and best regards to all!! Opinions and comments encouraged and welcome!
PHILLIES VS MARLINS OVER 8 +105 5 UNITS
This total is on the low side because the two pitcher's involved, Kevin Milwood and Dontrielle Willis, are talented, well regarded pitcher's in the major league's, and for good reason. However, while Millwood has pitched effectively this year, I do not believe that he is the same Cy Young caliber pitcher that we have seen in years past while he was with the Atlanta Braves. Dontrielle Willis got off to an unbelievable start this season, and I expect big things out of this kid for many years to come. However, he has struggled since the all star break, and is probably not currently as good a pitcher as the oddsmakers/betting public percieve him to be. Take the OVER 8 here.
Kansas City Royals -1.5 over Tigers (-130)
5 UNITS
These guys are dreadful, and any time you can lay 13 for 10 that the Tigers are gonna lose by more than one run, you ought to do it. Especially when you consider that fact that to Jose Lima, a game pitched against the Tigers will be approached with the same fire and determination that a pitcher would take heading into a playoff or World Series game, as he was ran out of Detroit and still carries a vandetta against the front office of the Tiger's organiaztion. Lima guys, let me tell you, will be up for this game. Maroth, what else can I say....1st 20 game loser since Kingman in 1980. Lay the runs, win the money. This one is easy! If not comfortable laying the 1.5, the ML at -235 still has considerable value.
Normally, I like to get more action than just a couple games, but I feel so strongly about these two that I am going to leave it at that. Good luck all, and best regards!
