Aloha Gang....Well yesterday I simply sucked shit....Because of this, I wanted to get my plays and information out to you all early, with the hopes that you may be able to use them however you see fit to, in order to find success today....Follow Em or Fade Em....but whatever you decide to do, I wish you success!
Anyways, I posted a terrible 2W-7L day yesterday, and now I have my work cut out for me in order to get us back into the Profit Zone for the week.....So far this weeks combined record is now 6W-9L= -9.59 Units.. I am going to keep this short, as I am getting a bit drained from this rather long, depressing, and harduous day.....So on that note, lets bounce back with these Bad Boys today!
**TOP 3 UNIT PLAYS ON:
Houston -1.5 -110
-I have to continue to ride the Rocket, as he has been simply MONEY so far this year....He has been Dominating Everyone!...Today I dont see any reason why HIS dominance should not continue...Pitt's Well is coming off of Two losses at home, and one of them was to this same Houston squad....Ok, I am going to keep this simple......In the Rocket's 3 starts at home this year, their opponents were ALL held to just 1 run each, while the Astros Offense backed their ACE up by producing a total of 22 runs in those 3 games.....Today will be Deja Vu for all who rode the Rocket Ship all year long....
Colorado +101
-I like the Rockies to bounce back today behind the very solid pitching of Kennedy....The Rockies are 4-1 this year, when Kennedy has taken the mound.....and I expect that the Rockies bats will come to support him again.....As for the Expose, that Offensive output they shockingly produced yesterday wont be so easy to duplicate today against Kennedy, as he is another Lefty......And this year, the Expose have been simply struggling at the plate vs LHP's....Their hitting average on the year vs LHP's is a dismal .192.....Sorry Wells, pitching may keep you in a game, but hitting and scoring is what you need to win the game.....Today the advantage lies with Colorado who will have the better Pitcher and a better Offense, and that should result in a Rockie win today.....
Atlanta -101
-I had the Braves capped to win last night, but their injuries to key players made me back off......Well, today I am all over them in this one......Wright has been pitching very solid so far, and his stats vs some very good hitting teams shows it.....He has had only one bad outing so far this year, which was also in a road game....Still, he did respond back with a strong outing at SF, in the following game.....In his last 2 starts this year at home, he has only given up 4 hits, 3 ER's, 10 K's, 2 walks, and 1 HR, in 12 innings....He also posted these strong outings and wins vs the Leagues Two Top teams at the time, in the Cubs and Marlins.....Well's is also coming off of two solid outings, but he is now in the Braves House where they are 7-3 so far this year.....Plus, he is a Lefty, and the Braves have been smacking lefties pretty good posting a hitting average of over .300 vs all LHP's they have faced so far....
**2 UNIT PLAYS ON:
Chicago WS +102
-Balt is struggling at the plate vs LHP's this year, average hitting just .217 vs them.....Ponson has struggled in his last outting, and having to face this lineup of the Sox, who are on a 15 game streak where they have hit a HR, is not a good thing......Buehrle for the WS, got a solid win in his last start where he took on last years Cy Young Winner Halladay.....In that game, Buehrle only gave up in 6 innings, 6 hits, 2 runs, 8 K's, and just 1 walk.....Ponson in his last two loses, got rocked giving up 19 hits, 16 runs, 5 K's, 4 walks, all in just 8.3 innings...WoW!.....The WS have also won 4 of the last 5 games that Buehrle have started...
Texas -139
-The Rangers blew it last night, but I feel that they will be able to bounce back behind the solid pitching of Drese, now that the Korean Kream Puff failed to get it done.....Waechter have been decent so far this year, but in his last two starts he gave up 3 HR's.....That is not good vs this Ranger team that is the best in the league at the plate......Texas also have been drilling RHP's at home this year, average hitting .357 vs them.....TB on the road have only averaged to hit .231 vs all RHP's....Texas will have the edge in this one as they have the better starter and better closers to grab the win this time.....
Philly -135
-Millwood's last start and lost was against this Card team.....In that one, he pitched very well going 7 innings, giving up just 7 hits, only 1 ER, and just 1 walk.....Still though, even with this solid performance, the Phillies lost by one run......Today, I expect he will be wanting to get back that win that got away, and will do it by again controlling the bats of the Cards like he did in their last game....Philly behind another solid outing by Millwood, should be able to again dominate St Louis like they have been doing in their past 13 games vs St Louis....I like Philly at home today, to this time not fall short at getting the victory....
**Ok Gang, lets bounce back from yesterdays poor outting with these Bad Boys!.......Those who have followed me for awhile know definately that it takes more than just a losing day to keep me down, and that the days following a poor day, I usually respond back in a bigger way......Well, lets not change that trend, and lets not lose focus on keeping it positive no matter what....Good luck to All today and LETS GO GET EM! ALOHA CC..

Kap, the Ranger play does qualify to be a Top 3 unit play, and I will probably end up putting alittle more on it, just FYI......But because of the high price, and coming off of a down day....I think that a 2 Unit rate for others here, who follow me is enough, as anything can happen, like yesterday's games showed...Also because I have more than just one or two plays today......But FYI, it does qualify in my capping to be a 3 Unit Play, and if it was the only game on the board today, I would make it a 3 unit play......Just wish the line was alittle lower, to match the risk....Gl to you, and I hope what I stated to you comes across with my support to you, on what you stated about this game, that I am with you.....Aloha CC.
CC....i saw on the houston game that you are taking the run line.....evidently you feel they will win by atleast two runs or you would not have it as a 3 unit play....but i noticed that when these two teams play the scores are so very close.....i like houston alot to win but with a 200 ML it is hard to bet......your write up does give alot of info but i guess i needed more assurance of winning by 2.....thanks CC and i appreciate your help.....i trust your opinion and feel you are one of the best
