Hello again my friends, I want to start by apologizing for being gone so long but since the Baseball and Softball leagues have started in my area I have been too busy with practice and games to post any of my plays. But rest a sure that I am still following MLB(major league baseball) and I'm still handicapping the games when I get time. I have also come to the conclusion that if I want to try to post everyday I will have to stop typing such long explanations and stats about each game I play and just post the picks and the time's they start with a brief 1 or 2 sentence explanation about why I like the pick. This strategy should fit in nicely with my messed up schedule and give me enough time to share my thoughts about the games without taking up too much time. As far as today is concerned I have decided to go with 4 plays that I think will give me a good chance of winning but I am still very skeptical about the league in general so I will probably bet small amounts just to be safe. When I say I'm very skeptical about what is happening around the league lately, I'm talking about some of the most impossible comebacks I have seen in the history of the league. For example yesterday I bet the San Diego Padres who were at the time 9-1 in their last 10 games and had won 9 straight. Well the Arizona Diamondbacks(their opponent) jumped to a 7-1 lead and were pretty much taking it to the Padres, and then it happened. In the 8th inning the Padres scored 5 runs to cut it to 7-6 and then in their top of the ninth they scored another to tie it. At this point the Arizona fans were stunned, you should have seen their faces, it looked like the doctor just came in and told them they had a terminal illness or something(yikes). Well it didn't stop their, in the 10th inning San Diego's Chase Headley hits a 2-run shot(home run) and that basically sealed the D-backs fate. To put it in simple terms the Diamondbacks were 6 outs ways from a win, up by 6 runs and had their eyes set on tomorrows game and then it all fell apart in 3 quick innings. The moral of the story is that you never bet against a winning streak because its the equivalent of standing on some train tracks with an Amtrak on its way to iron you out like a pair of pants. Oh one last thing, when reading my posted plays the away team is always on top and the home team is always listed on the bottom, thx again and good luck in whatever you decide to play.
MLB
8:05 pm(est)
N.Y. Yankees (-118)
Texas Rangers(+110)
Not sure Texas is for real, and I don't want to go against the red hot Yanks who are 8-2 in their last 10 and swinging those bats like we all knew they would eventually. Getting the Yankees at (-118) while their playing well is a bargain so I can't pass them up at that price.
Betting on: N.Y. Yankees Moneyline(-118)(2.36 units)
Final Score:
New York 3 (lost)(-2.36 units)
Texas 7
MLB
8:10 pm(est)
Detroit Tigers (+145)
Kansas City Royals (-153)
I know most people won't agree with this play because of how dominant Royals starter Zack Grienke has been, but his teammates have gone cold offensively so this could be another wasted effort for the young right hander. Besides, Detroit is playing good ball right now(8-2 in last 10) and they have a pretty good starter of their own in Edwin Jackson who has fared well against the Royals in the past.
Betting on: Detroit Moneyline(+145)(2.00 units)
Final Score:
Detroit 1 (lost)(-2.00 units)
Kansas City 6
MLB
8:40 pm
L.A. Dodgers(+142)
Colorado Rockies (-150)
I don't think the Dodgers should be an underdog to anyone, they have the best record in the league and are currently 7-3 in their last 10 games but most importantly this team is hitting the cover off the ball even after their superstar Manny Ramirez was suspended for testing positive for performance enhancing drugs. I will ride this D-train for as long as I can because it may not last much longer.
Betting on: L.A. Dodgers Moneyline(+142)(2.00 units)

San Diego Padres(+147)
Arizona Diamondbacks(-155)
Padres have won 10 in a row, and seem to invent new ways to win ball games every night. I can't wait to see if they can get their 11th win in a row and how they go about doing it(lol). At plus money(+147) this is a no brainer, betting against them may cause the old "Dear in the headlights" syndrome.
