World Series Game 7
What a game…and what a finish!
Game 6 was probably the BEST post season game in modern history with a ton of errors, extra innings!! A home team chasing at the death and still winning with a Homerun.WOW!!!!
those of you that followed in yesterday with the 11/5 for the Cards to win the World Series are now having an 11/5 shot whilst the Cards are 5/7 to win now! Lets goooooo!!!!!!!!
In game 7 i have to go with the Cards on paper as they go with Chris Carpenter and he is by far the best pitcher in this series. I fully expect him to lead the Cardinals to one of the most unexpected victories and i know one bettor int he MGM Grand in Las Vegas who will be happy. He placed a $250 bet on them to win the National League series at 500/1 and $250 for them to win the World Series at 999/1 when they were ONE loss away from being eliminated back in early September.
We will not be able to get anything like these odds, but lets try to find some value. We already are on the 11/5 for them to win the series so outright wins are dealt with.
There is a tasty 2/1 on offer that EITHER starting pitcher will get the WIN today.. As Carpenter will probably go 7 innings that is already likely as the bullpen can hold on if he gets a 2 or 3 run lead and even a one run lead might be enough. The TEXAS bullpen is equal as adept in keeping a lead so IF Texas get an early lead they can hold on as well, making the 2/1 on offer tasty enough.
The Cardinals have scored first in 11 out of 13 postseason games or so and they are EVS to do so tonight.. Grab that while it is there too.
World Series game 7’s are never as close as you might imagine and as we already are picking the Cards to win we might as well try to spice it up a bit by predicting them to win by EXACTLY 3 runs at 8/1 or by 4 or MORE at 13/5
So..in short:
We already have St Louis to win at 11/5
2/1 WIN by either pitcher
EVS St Louis to score first
8/1 St Louis to win by 3 runs
13/5 St Louis to win by 4 or more runs

BOOOMMMM the single landed when MIL won 3-0… the double is still going as well
edit…. the DOUBLE landed as well
17/08/2011 at 8:25 AM
Another busy day in the baseball and time for another good run after landing the SINGLE and the DOUBLE yesterday. Here are the tips for today:
Arizona at Phillies: This game should be an easy win for the Phillies with Roy Halliday taking the ball. He has been on an extra long rest though and that, combined with his teams losing record against Arizona makes this a conundrum. Still the EVENS for Phillies -1,5 runs is too good to miss out on.
CinCin at Washington: Normally i like both teams to score runs, runs, runs, but today i am going the other way. This is because the excellent form of both starters (Wang and Leake) and the inability fo both teams to string scoring innings together.. Count on one team to score 3 runs in one inning and the other 2 in another.. that might be all the scoring in this game. UNDER 8,5 at 10/11
Giants at Braves: This game will have plenty of interesting matchups as both starting pitchers are looking to establish themselves. Delgadogoes for hsi second start for the Braves and he will give up 3 or 4 runs even against a struggling Giants side. As i see the Braves scoring against Sanchez who has not been on song the whole year this will get OVER 8,5 runs at 10/11
TREBLE AT 6.28/1
Cubs at Houston: This is a massive value game. The Cubs are winning 12 out of the last 15 with Ryan Dempster taking the mount in excellent form. Houston (also) have nothing to play for but with them it shows. Myers has been winless in 6 outings and i can see the Cubbies winning this 8-2 or something similar so getting 6/5 for -1,5 is MASSIVE.
NY Yankees at Kansas City Royals. Talking about being all over a team. The Yankees bring Ivan Nova into town and he has been phenomenal lately going 7-0 in last 8 starts with not more than 2 runs allowed in nearly all games. This is much easier and Kansas play with a lot of rookies in the field and have Duffy (another rookie) on the mount. The Yankees should blow this game right out and 10/11 might not seem like a big price, but it is a giveaway for -1,5 runs.
DOUBLE AT 3.2/1
Florida Marlins at Colorado Rockies: Amazingly both teams are still looking for ply off places. If you look at the pitchers you would not think so, as Chachin for Colorado has not won in 10 outings and Sanchez for the Marlins has been chased out ofter just 1 inning last time out giving up a ton of runs. Chacin was pitching good in his last game and Colorado should win this game. The play might be the OVERS in this game, but giving a massive 27/20 for Colorado -1,5 is too good to miss out on.
SUUPPERRRRRR SINGLE at 27/20
18/08/2011 at 9:05 AM
Its Wednesday, normally one of the best days in baseball because of the Wednesday night baseball game and in general some good pitchers can be seen on this day. Not today though if you look at the records of the pitchers today. This does mean there is value to be had in some corners and we will find it!
.
.
Tampa Bay vs BoSox OVER 9 runs. Last night we los on one run in this game and that will not happen again today. David Price takes the mount for the Rays and despite his excellent last outing, he has been so/so…The BoSox have the same problem even though Lackey has won 6 in a row. This despite a gazillion runs he keeps giving up. This could be a slugfest and only having to beat 9 runs is excellent value.
.
.
Baltimore at Oakland. Some dodgy dealings seem to be going on at both teams with wins and losses coming seemingly at random for both teams. Oakland gets the nod in this game, because of the pitcher and the powerful lineup. McCarthy will be the man in control of the ball for Oakland and after he got nailed (literally) last time by a ball on the leg he has a chance of some redemption. Simon gave up (only) 4 runs in his last two starts, but that could very well be the same again today. The thing is that he might be out of the game in the 4th inning and the poor bullpen from Baltimore will get hammered. OAKLAND –1,5
.
.
NY Yankees at Kansas City. Again I am all over the Yankees today even though in my mind the pitching matchup is a bit different. Bartolo Colon is about 100 years old now, but he is still capable of giving the Yankees some quality pitching. He will almost never pitch “the bagel” anymore, but giving up 2 runs is fine, with Soriano, Logan and Rivera closing it down. Chen is the best the Royals have to offer at the moment and he is an excellent lefty. Shame however that the Yankees feast on lefties and Chen in particular. This could be a 7-2 score which should cover the YANKEES –1,5 easily.
.
.
TREBLE AT 6.9/1
.
.
.
St Louis vs Pittsburgh I have been burned more times than my cigarettes by St Louis, but this time I feel it is time for St Louis to prove my faith. Kyle Lohse is not the best pitcher on their roster, but he is a solid rotation guy and that could be enough against a Pittsburgh team that just does not score. They give their Pitcher never any support and that will break them up once again to give St Louis as 5-1 victory, again, more than enough to cover the –1,5
.
.
Arizona at Phillies. This matchup screams “bagel” “bagel” all over. Saunders goes for the DBacks and every single month he gets better. His team is on fire and he should give up no more than a run or two. The Phillies go with Cliff Lee who has now pitched 17 innings in a row without giving up a run. This streak could very well come to an end tonight, however I can not see more than 3 runs being scored by Arizona either. 3-2 score would be good enough to keep this UNDER 7,5
.
.
3.39/1 DOUBLE

SUPPPPPPERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR SSSIINNNGGGLLLEEEEEEE

SF Giants at Atlanta Braves Today we have to go for my fellow countryman who is pitching for the first time since Aug 1, and he goes very well after a bit of rest. The giants have been awwwfullllll at bat over the season and they cant get out of the slump. Don’t count on them making up for it tonight against a bright pitching prospect. Throw in more injury worries for the Giants and their terrible offence just got soooo much worse. Unbelievably the –1,5 Braves is still 33/20!!!

Daily TIPS! 18/08
La dodgers at Milwaukee… Milwaukee has been tearing it up lately and have won 19 out of 21.. They have a spot starter on the mount who did great in his first start. The dodgers counter with Clayton Kershaw who is hotter than the Mojave Desert in July. The Brewcrew is an astonishing EVS to win the game so…well…row in with that..A alternative is under 7 runs, but that is pretty short and reasonably low total so no value.
Yankees at Twins.. CC sabathia is equal to wins… well that is how it used to be, but the last two times he has been horrible giving up more runs in the last two starts than in the 6 before that. They shoudl still have more ammunition that the Twins who are out of it in the division. Because of the NAMe of CC Sabathia the run line is pretty low which means that there is value at the 10/11 for OVER 8 runs.
SF Giants at Braves. This game looks like a complete bagel game.. SF goes with Tim Lincicum and he has been amazing lately having a 1.56 ERA in the last few starts. Mike Minor is a MAJOR prospect in the league and against his last two opponents he has given up 3 runs. This is good enough to blank the Giants who just cant hit and surprised last night by hitting 5 runs. Can not see any one of these teams scoring more than 3 runs, so UNDER 7 runs is the play here at 10/11
TREBLE at 6.28/1
Boston at Kansas City.. Ove rthe last few games the Red Sox have been horrible.. no hits, no runs.. no wins.. That is just not good enough for them in the race against the Yankees, so they will need to get their act together. It looks like they will do that today against Hochevar and the Royals. They can be backed at 5/6 to win by 1,5 runs and i think that is the play here with Beckett boucning back as he usually does and the bats heating up for the RedSox.
Arizona at Phillies. This is the toughest game of the day with two good pitchers on the mount for two teams that are going places… Arizona and pitcher Kennedy can go for his 16th win which is amazing since he is not a “star” in the league. Not since April 2010 have the Phillies been swept, but it is on the cards here with Vance Worley on the mount who got hammered his last start. as a rookie it is hard to bounce back from that, so he might get hit again for a few runs.. Arizona just to win is 5/4 jump on big time!
DOUBLE at 3.12/1
SUPPPERRRRRR SINGLE
Time for a banker to make sure we dont lose any money today.
Toronto is the shout in a game against Oakland and Toronto and pitcher Romero have been owning the A’s to date. Toronto is going places with this team and they can win by 4 runs here so 5/4 to wint he game is the play.. If you bet at William Hill look for alternative handicaps and take the Tornoto Blue Jays at -1,5 or so which would be 5/2 or better possibly.
21/08/2011 at 11:06 AM
Milwaukee at Mets.. There is no chance we go for anything else but a Milwaukee win. Even yesterday when we thought the pitching staff from the Mets could keep up, they where beaten comprehensively and today it looks to be even worse, so -1,5 Milwaukee Brewers is the play here especially with Randy Wolf on the mount who is gone very deep in all his last outings
.
Cleveland at Detroit. This is once again a battle for supremacy in the AL Central. Yesterday it was a clear cut win for the Tigers, but today could be a different story thanks to a completely different pitching matchup. Huff will take on Fister and Huff might have a slight edge here, having only had 3 starts so far. This is a worry as this could turn into a hardcore pitching battle, as both bullpens dont give up runs. If you can bet on the runs in running get on 1 run after the first 6 innings or so if possible. Otherwise it will be Cleveland +1,5 at 20/31.. For the players with “balls” 5/4 for a simple Cleveland win is a play too.
.
Bosox at Kansas City. Tim Wakefield will go for his 200th win in this game and normally the play would be the OVER in this game as the BoSox will try to get pitcher Paulino hard early on, as Tim Wakefield is not the best anymore at 45 years of age. I predict a complete blowout score here of 12-5 or so for the BoSox and as the Bosox -1,5 is a massive 23/20 this needs to be the play instead of the 20/21 for over 9,5 runs.
.
Yankees at Twins. If you talk about dominance than the Yankees over the Twins comes to mind. About 15 out of 17 against the Twins lately and if you include the post season it is something like 21 out of 24. This trend will continue today as AJ Burnett takes the mount for the Yankees trying to cement his place in the rotation. He has every chance here against Francisco Liriano who is even more of a yoyo than AJ. Count on a scoring game with AJ picking up his second August win in a row (after having not won in August since 2008) with a score of 9-4 so Yankees -1,5 at 21/20 is perfect value for an odds against shot.
.
Florida at San Diego This matchup has a lot of former this and former that in action against each other, so both sides have something to play for if not pride. San Diego has actually not been that bad lately and they could well make it 6-0 for the season against Florida. Both pitchers have around the same ERA, but You need to go with Harang who is a solid started. Close to even money at 10/13 for the WIN seems a better play than 17/10 for the -1,5
.
Arizona at Atlanta. This is a weird game as both teams are pushing hard towards th post season with a lot of momentum behind Arizona. They might lose it today as they will go with a DEBUTANT pitching for them (who surprisingly is a HUGE Braves fan) against Brandon Beachy who is a young, but solid starter. Atlanta are 11 for 15 and count on them making it 12 out of 16 tonight, but the question is if it will be by a lot of runs. the odds for a normal win are 5/9, but for -1,5 are 5/4 and that needs to be the play here hoping the Braves will be able to chase the rookie of all rookies away early here.
22/08/2011 at 11:34 AM
Here are 6 tips for the baseball today: I have not put them in bets on requests of some followers. I DO have a NAP and a NB for today which are almost ridiculous as i feel the other 4 bets are even more value.. ohh well.. we shall see.. Only 3 out of 6 yesterday i believe so that was not a good enough day to be honest. Need to get more for my followers. Please check out the “donations” page to keep the site going
NY Yankees at Minnesota Twins: Yesterday was a clearly bad day in the office for the Yankees and that means trouble for pitcher AJ Burnett who was already in the doghouse anyway. Today is a different story with Ivan the great on the mount. Ivan Nova is almost unbeatable and is 8-0 in his last 9 starts. He normally gets plenty of run support and that mean we can not see anything but a Yankees -1,5 win. This is even more influenced by the Twins pitcher who is named Blackburn (ohh boyyy) and he lost his last 4 with an ERAvof nearly 8. NAP of the day: Yankees -1,5.
.
.
CinCin Red at Pittsburgh Pirates: This game does not have the impact it might have had was it held in June, but still this is a game with a lot of pride and rookie pitchers status on the line. Because of the quality of the pitchers there is a strong suspicion that there could be very few runs even though both teams enjoy hitting a few deep balls every now and then. It is a dangerous play for that reason, but EVS for under 8,5 runs is a value bet that should be taken.
.
.
Phillies at Washington Nats: A beautiful game for baseball purists to watch as Roy Halliday goes up against Chien Ming Wang who is almost as good. Roy has been stellar since going to Phillie and he is 6-0 against the Nats. He is going deep in all of his starts which means the bullpen gets saved which is a huge boost for a team. Wang might have been on the disabled list for most of the last 3 years, he is still a very good pitcher. Both teams can hit on their day as the Nats scored 8 on Friday and the Phillies scored 5 on Saturday. I still think Roy Halliday will have too much ammo for the Nats and with a 4-1 scoreline predicted by me, the -1,5 Philies at 10/13 needs to be snapped up. NB of the day.
.
.
Seattle Mariners at Tampa Bay Rays: I never like to be brief about a game, but here i do it.. Lump on the 11/10 for the Tampa Bay Rays -1,5. Excellent pitcher against a struggling pitcher. Good hitting lineup against the worst in the league. 6-1 score-line so -1,5 at 11/10.. lump on.
.
.
Florida Marlins at Sand Diego Padres: despite the terrible start for the Padres and the wasted season they are still piling on the wins. For the first time in a lifetime they can sweep a 4 games series against a team which was in contention for the first part of the season, but like their pitcher has tailed off badly. Annibel Sanchez won his last start, which was his first in nearly 3 months, but still he gave up 3 homeruns. This is something that will cost him again and the Padres at -1,5 runs at a tasty 17/10 is too much cream on the coffee to resist here.
.
.
Baltimore Orioles at La Angels: Normally i like to steer away from this game, but for sentimental reasons and pure logic i have to get involved in this one. first of all the Baltimore pitcher is garbage away from home and he has struggled since being re added to the lineup after being send down a few pegs. That is one reason, but the second reason is Jerome Williams who will try to WIN his first MLB game since 2005. Yes, correctly.. his first win since 2005! Been all over the place including some crappy leagues, but this year he has impressed in Triple A enough to get the nod in a VERY important game to the Angels as the race is still on. Get on the -1,5 in the hope the Angels will hit 7 or 8 runs and Williams will keep the damage to around 3 or 4. That should do fine for –1,5 at 7/5
23/08/2011 at 6:52 AM
A decent day yesterday in which the NAP of the day landed with the Yankees and also the La angels did us proud. The rest of the matches where actually all really close and unfortunately some very very late scoring did us in in some games.
Today there are only 11 games scheduled and i have picked out 5 to have a better look at.
.
.
BoSox at Texas: In this game Texas will need to bounce back from a 10-0 drubbing yesterday and i think they will be fired up to fight back against the BoSox. They have the right man on the mount in CJ Wilson who has been outstanding all season and against the Sox in particular. Eric Bedard was acquired by the BoSox, but so far he has been nothing special and this could be another losing game for him especially with so many regulars still out for Boston. 29/20 for Texas Rangers -1,5 is excellent value and therefore the NAP of the day.
.
.
Detroit Tigers at Tampa Bay Rays. Now the purpose of giving a NAP is that you have one selection that is stronger than your other selection, but in this case i need to NAP another NAP. Detroit goes with Verlander on the mount and he is a phenomenal pitcher who has pitched more innings than any other pitcher in the league to date. This is because he hardly gives up runs, but he has not such a good record against the Rays. Both teams are super hot and winning a lot of games in row. Tampa is known for the hits and Detroit knows how to hit too, which makes the line at 7 runs TOO tempting to let go. Especially since Jeff Nieman is on the mount of the Rays who was excellent in his last game, but he is best known as a pitcher who gets into trouble easily. This could very well turn out into a 6-3 win for either team and that is more than good enough to take the OVER 7 runs at 21/20.
.
.
Baltimore at Minnesota: The Twins are looking to continue their decent series against the Yankees and they can pick up a clearcut win against the O’s who have been mediocre as usual. The trouble is that the Twins “refuse” to score when Carl Pavano is on the mount, but i have a feeling this time they will score plenty of runs against Britton who pitches for the Orioles and has a 24.14 ERA over the last three games before he was send to the DL for 15 days. Still expect him to be rubbish enough for the Twins to abuse him and hopefully send him showering within 4 innings. 8-2 for the Twins so 6/4 for Twins -1,5 is a stellar bet.
.
.
Atlanta Braves at Chicago Cubs: My favorite pitcher goes in this game and of course that is fellow countryman Jair Jurrjens. Before his 354th time on the disabled list he was amazing and in the running for the Cy Young award. This start against the Giants on his comeback was bad, but not bad enough to back against him. The Braves love the long ball and they can score plenty of them against Ryan Dempster, who is a good veteran, but he struggles against the Braves. This will lead to a 6-2 win for the Braves and that means that -1,5 should land comfortably at 6/4.
.
.
Houston Astros at Colorado Rockies: There are plenty of angels to look at this game and the most important one is that two struggling pitchers are taking the mount. Both Myers and Chacin are absolutely dreadful as of late and we know that Colorado is a good hitting team. Houston, however can slug it out with the best too, so the 20/21 for Colorado -1,5 does not seem like the best value. The 10/11 on OVER 9 runs seems much better value for nearly the same price as this could easily finish up 9-6 for either team.
Good luck everyone and I have a feeling this could be an amazingly profitable day
25/08/2011 at 3:16 PM
Detroit at Tampa Bay: Over the last few series these games have been extremely tight and that was shown again by a one run victory lat night for the Rays. Both pitchers had good command the last start, which is something that has eluded both before. Hellickson is one of the best pitchers int he game when on song and i am counting on him continuing his success from the last time and at 6/4 the TAMPA BAY RAYS -1,5 is extreme good value and the NAP of the day.
.
.
.
Oakland A’s at New York Yankees: There could be a surprise final installment to the series as the A’s have basically dominated the Yankees in this series. Some flawed pitching and less-then-hot bats have left the Yankees looking for a comeback in the division led by the BoSox. With Phil Hughes on the mount i can see them bounce back, but as Rich Harden is on for the A’s this could be a battle till the end with possible even extra innings on the card. It could be 6-6 after the ninth which means that it should go over 9,5 Runs and at 11/10 that is the only value to be had in this game (NB)
.
.
.
Atlanta Braves at Chicago cubs: The battle in this duel will probably come from the pitchers on the mount. Brendon Beachy for the Braves has no love for the Cubbies, being a WhiteSox fan and he has been exceptional in his last few starts. The same can be said for Matt Garza for the Cubbies and this could be an even less scoring affair then Wednesay when it ended 3-2. UNDER 7,5 runs at 10/11 gives us just that extra run extra as cover as i expected the runline to be 7.
.
.
.
Boston RedSox at Texas Rangers: It does not happen often that the BoSox can be had with a + behind their name on the run line, but on this occasion that is the case. Boston goes with spot started Miller who is decent, but nothing more and worryingly for the Re dSox, he is a left hander. Texas loves left handers especially at the Texas ballpark and with Ogando on the mount for the Rangers there seems to be no other conclusion then that the Rangers will cement their lead in the American League West while the RedSox will probably need to share the lead in the AL East with the Yankees after tonight. 23/20 should be snapped up.
.
.
.
Arizona DBacks at Washington Nationals:The Dbacks have been winning two games in a row now after skipping their daily batting practice and they will again forgo the chance to test their bats in the cage. With this superstition continuing they will hope to beat the Nats for a third straight day, but their problem lays ont he mount where they go with a rookie who gave up 5 hits in 4 innings in his first start. Lannan goes for the Nationals and he is 3-1 against the DBacks lifetime with just a 1.06 ERA. With the chances high that the rookie will give up a lot of hits again this might go easily over 8,5 runs so at 20/23 it is a nice addition to the accumulators.
.
.
.
Pittsburgh at St Louis: Both teams are having a torrid time and for one team that will continue. The run line as at an amazingly low 8 runs nd the OVER should be snapped up while it is still 10/11. Both team have good pitching on the mount, but with bad defense that will not be enough to keep the runs out. slumping comes in bunches in no sport more so then baseball and expect there to be plenty of runs.

Even though the site and followers are still going with the double i am looking to tonight’ games with some more tips.
There are enough games to get another two bets in with a double and a single. For people that did not get on earlier today this si the chance to still get involved.
Houston Astros at San Francisco Giants: This game is mainly about the question if the Giants can keep the rampant Astros from scoring. Because Vogelsang is on the mount i have to say YES. He is not the ace of the rotation, but he is definitely capable of going very deep without giving up many runs. Expect the Astros to score 2 or 3 runs and as Henry Sosa is taking the mount for the Astros on just three days rest and he gave up 4 runs on 4 hits in his last start. i expect the Giants to score at least 6 runs.. Even with their bad offense they should score runs and as the Astros will contribute as well OVER 7,5 runs at 10/11 is excellent value.
.
.
.
Boston RedSox at Texas Rangers: We are already involved with this game, but i still think there is another angle which is the UNDER 10 runs in this game at 20/23. This is because both startin pitchers have a good ERA and they are capable of limiting the offenses from the opposition. Both teams DO score a lot, but 10 runs could be too much and the value needs to be taken.
.
.
.
Arizona at Washington: This game we previewed earlier my mind has not changed yet. I will go for the OVER 8,5 runs at 4/5 as both pitchers are capable of giving up plenty of runs. Especially the DBacks pitcher is going to try to stem the tide after his first MLB game which was a disaster. Arizona is, however, capable to score enough runs to maybe win the game, but it could very well end up 7-6 or so, which is more than enough to cover the 8,5 runs

Arizona OVER 8,5 runs at 4/5

27/08/2011 at 10:44 AM
Yesterday was a decent day but nothing more then that. The over on the Yankees game covered (just..lol) but only the evening followers had a nice double to celebrate.
There is exactly 20% of games left in the MLB and today promises to be a spectacular one. There is a full array of games and that means we need to weed through all the odds and markets to find the best value. I think i managed to find some excellent value games and outcomes so here we go with today’s baseball tips:
.
.
.
Florida at Philies: This game is a gem for statisticians and number crunchers. Phillie is on a 9-3 run against the Marlins and they have one of the best records at home this year. They are nearly unbeatable and they are (at the moment) favorites to win the World Series for a reason. They put Roy Oswalt out there and he has been amazing in his last start where he held the Nats to zero, zilch, nothing in 8 innings. Since his comeback from injury he is 2-1 overall and has a low 2.something ERA. Up against him today is used-to-be reliever Clay Hensley and well.. he is a true reliever, because even as a starter he can not last 6 innings. He gives up a lot of runs to give the Phillies a comfortable victory. The under 8,5 is a player here as 11 of the last games had an average of just 7.0 runs, but at the same price of 10/11 the NAP of the day is a Phillies -1,5 runs win.
.
.
.
Tampa at Toronto: This game is a mixed bag when it comes to predicting the outcome as Jake Shields takes the mount for the Rays and Alvarez does so for the Jays. Both are completely different and in a different stage of their career, so some digging is needed to find a way in. Shields has been nearly perfect this season against the Toronto Blue Jays giving up 1 runs in 17 innings so far, but he is getting tagged a lot more since his last outing against them. The current Toronto roster is also batting nearly .300 against him. Alvarez is only 21 years old and starts his 4th game in the majors. He does not seem to be anything spectacular yet and as the teams opposing him have had some info on him now and will have a complete scouting rapport i have a feeling he could take an early shower tonight. Tampa to win by more then 1 runs is odds against, but 5/6 on there to be more than 8 runs seems a steal with these free hitting teams. As the run line is an even number you will get your money back in case there are exactly 8 runs in the game.
.
.
.
Yankees at Orioles: When the Yankees come into town you know you need to be ready for a barrage of hits and that looks a certainty again after yesterday 22!! runs scored by the Yankees. They got to Baltimore to keep the pressure on the RedSox and they will do so with AJ Burnett on the mount. I still liek him, and i am still a fool for doing so. He has been disappointing to say the least this season and in his last few starts in particular. The Yankees need hot bats today to make sure they give AJ even a sniff of a chance of winning as the Orioles have won the last 4 straight and have a lot of rookies in their lineup hitting well. Tommy Hunter was at Texas (a good team) and went to the O’s, who are not so good. He has also given up 6 runs in his last start and despite the fact that the run line is insanely high at 10,5 it is pretty easy to get there. AJ will pitch deep into the game no matter what, as they need to rest their bullpen with plenty of double headers coming up, so i feel they might sacrifice AJ in this game. Baltimore always give up runs so OVER 10,5 runs at 23/20 is the play here.
.
.
.
Detroit Tigers at Minnesota Twins: Another good game for statisticians with the Tigers going up against the rival Twins. Detroit has been nearly untouchable against the Twins winning 13 of 16 and worryingly for the Twins that trend could continue for at least 3 reasons. One being Ricky Porcello who takes the mount for Detroit and despite his last three starts in which he was iffy (at least) he still is a class pitcher. The Twins counter with a rookie who has not been all there yet an he could get tagged big time. A second reason is Detroit’ away record as they won 16 out of the last 25 on the road and last but not least the Twins are horrible at home losing 13 out of 15 and 7 out of their last 8. Take the Tigers all day long at -1,5 (5/4 NB)
.
.
.
Colorado at LA Dodgers: This game is not only a rivalry, but also a near last chance saloon for the Rockies. If they want to get to the playoff they will need to do well on their next 9 road games and they have the edge in the pitching lineup today with Rogers going against veteran Ted Lily. The Rockies should be good enough to win this game and cement their place in the play off race and at odds against for a “simple” win there is no need to look for any more value. Colorado WIN at 23/20
.
.
.
San Diego at Arizona: Arizona is very good at the moment with a nice lead in the NL and they will go to cement their lead against the Padres. Arizona has Collmenter on the mount who has been excellent in his last 3 start and the Padres counter with LeBlanc who has also been good. The revamped and changed DBacks will have too much ammunition today so take the 13/10 for Arizona -1,5.

28/08/2011 at 6:22 AM
Detroit Tigers at Minnesota Twins: Yesterday we went successfully for the Tigers and with Verlander on the mount for the Tigers there is no way not to go for the Tigers and at -1,5 at 5/6 they are still value.
.
.
.
Pittsburgh at ST Louis Cardinals: I made a vow last week never to back the Cards again (well..never probably being another week or so) and i am still not doing it in this game, but the OVER 7,5 runs seems a steal. Both teams are virtually eliminated from the playoffs and that might just spark some pride and enjoyment for both teams. Pirates pitcher Lincoln is a former first round draft pick and he will mak eonly his third start of his young career. Chris Carpenter has been around the block a long time and his last 5 starts have been great. Still see plenty of runs in this game asn the teams love ot hit against each other, so OVER 7,5 at 10/11 is the value here.
.
.
.
Washington Nationals at CinCin Reds: I was very surprised to se the lines on this game as this could be another very close fought encounter as these teams are accustomed too. It could be even closer thanks to two young energetic pitchers on the mount that just dont give up runs anymore. Detwiler for the Nats gave up 1 run over 6 innings the last time and even though Leake for the Reds was slammed with 6 runs in his last start, he did not pitch bad and the first three of these runs could just as well have been outs. I had the line at 7 or 7,5 runs, so to see the line at 9 runs is amazing. UNDER 9 runs at 5/6 is a steal and the NAP of the day.
.
.
.
San Diego Padres at Arizona DBacks: The Dbacks have now won 5 in a row again and they are trying to get an early strangle hold on the NL west. They will go with Joe Saunders on the mount who has not been as good as some of the kids on the DBacks roster, but he should still prove good enough to beat the Padres. The Padres go with Aaron Harang who has been decent of late for a bad team. Expect another clearcut victory at 7/5. Arizona -1,5.
.
.
.
Chicago WhiteSox at Seattle Mariners: A Very easy game to pick as both teams are pick’em at 10/11 and that is plain ridiculous. The WhiteSox are still in the playoff hunt and they go with Danks on the mount who has incredible from for the last 2,f months after having a terrible start to the season. He us 5-0 against Seattle with a 0.96ERA in the last 5 meetings. Pineda for the Mariners has been having a terrible time with 3 wins in his last 15 starts. All of Chicago’s pitching staff have a great record in Seattle so 10/11 for a simple win is amazing value: All in on the WhiteSox.
.
.
.
KC Royals at Cleveland Indians: With the last month of the season fast approaching teams will make up their minds, either fight for your playoff place or build for next year. The Indians are still within striking distance for the playoffs and they will look at Fausto Carmona to keep his hot streak going. He has pitched extremely well over his lasts starts and despite the fact that Duffy, who will start for the Kansas City Royals, will probably not call for “Mercy”, he should still be comprehensively beaten. 5/4 for Cleveland -1,5 is great value
.

An exciting day in the baseball again with some really good pitching duels waiting and some games that could be slugging matches. Time to look at some of the games with the best value around to beat our great return from yesterday.
.
.
.
San Diego Padres at Arizona DBacks. Over the last couple of days the DBacks have been good to us and they could very well do so again today. Cory Luebke is the opposing pitcher and he has been more then decent his last few starts not giving up more than 2 runs in the process. He goes up against Ian Kennedy who is on a roll winning 8 out of his last 9 starts and he goes for a record breaking 17th win (in the NL that is). This will probably be a low scoring game with under 7,5 runs being a major temptation but odds against on Arizona -1,5 has got to be the shout here, so Arizona -1.5 at 29/20 for us.
.
.
.
NY Yankees at Baltimore Orioles: Be aware that this is GAME TWO of a double header. The Yankees go with Ivan Nova who currently is the only Yankees pitcher to have blind faith it. He has won his last 5 starts and goes up against Matusz who has lost his last two giving up 11 runs in less than 11 innings. There is not much value in picking the Yankees in his game at prohibitive odds, so OVER 10 runs at EVS is the play here.
.
.
.
Chicago Cubbies at Milwauke Brewers: The Brewers are hotter than hot right now and it seems impossible for teams to break them down. The Cubs are trying to avoid the sweep, but with Zack Greinke on the mount for the Brewecrew that seems idle hope. Greinke is 9-0 at home.. The Brewers are 49-16 at home and the Cubs are 1-7 against the Brewers. 4/5 is available on the Brewers -1,5 and despite odds against that seems a snip.
.
.
.
LA Angels at Texas Rangers: This is probably the most exciting matchup of the day. Angels pitcher Weaver goes on extreme short rest as he just has 3 days in between starts in this pivotal matchup. The Rangers counter with Colby Lewis who is also a great pitcher. both teams know what is needed to make the playoffs and count on very little runs in this game. As there is 8,5 on offer on the run market that has to be a big player. Don’t worry which team will win 2-1 or 3-2 and just watch a great game and under 8,5 runs at 5/6.
.
.
.
Chicago WhiteSox at Seattle Mariners: Last night we accepted a gift from the bookies with the WhiteSox offered at 10/11 and these odds have been shortened for this game to 5/8. Again there is every reason to take the Sox here as they go with Gavin Floyd who is a decent pitcher against Jose Varga for the Mariners who is just so-so with his control. As the WhiteSox have the added excitement of an extremely talented rookie that just joined them from Triple A, that might just give them the buzz they need to win at 4/5.
.
.
.
Houston Astros at San Fran Giants: With the Giants having a chance to finally win 3 games in a row they turn to Matt Cain to make this come true. He will be up against Bud Norris who is from the San Fran area. Both are not in great form and despite the Giants struggling to string runs together, they could do so today. The Astros know how to hit as well, but they have been silenced in the last few outings on the road. Still 6,5 runs are very low indeed for two struggling teams and the OVER should be taken here at 10/11
.
.
.
Advised Bets:
.
.
.
Arizona DBack -1,5 SINGLE
.
.
.
Yankees OVER 10 runs
LA Angels UNDER 8,5 runs DOUBLE
.
.
.
Chicago Whitesox WIN
San Fran Giants OVER 6,5
Brewers -1,5
30/08/2011 at 12:27 AM
Kansas City at Detroit Tigers: When one of the currently best teams take on one of the worst teams there is not much doubt which team you pick to win. In this case the Tigers are of course the pick as they go behind Max Scherzer who keeps improving every single start. Hochevar is the pitcher fro the Royals and he lost his last 4 starts and he is rubbish lifetime against Detroit. Odds against is always nice so Detroit -1,5 at 6/5 is the pick here.
.
.
.
Oakland A’s at Cleveland Indians: When the A’s come to town you know you are in trouble. They have been hitting for fun even though they cant qualify for the post season anymore. The scored an average of 6 runs in 6 games before getting a rain delayed double header at Boston. The can tag Huff, who pitches for the Indians as he was tagged up badly in his last outing. He was good before that, but can he bounce back? A very hard game to pick outright, but runs galore is the motto and as the line is only 8,5 the OVER at Evs is a nice play.
.
.
.
Chicago Cubs at San Fran Giants: There is nothing more risky than backing the Giants recently. They are rubbish on offense and have the worst record offensively in runs scored in the league, but they have a chance to get some runs on the board today as Randy Wells is pitching for the Cubbies and he loves to give up home runs. The Giants can score 3 of them a game, but they never have people on base when they do. This could be a low scoring game, but 6,5 runs is hard to take. so take San Fran -1,5 at 20/21.
.
.
.
Minnesota Twins at Chicago WhiteSox: Chicago still has a slim chance of getting to the playoffs while Minnesota have completely lost it. They have gone 2-7 at home and are now too far behind. This means that the Sox will still “go for it” while the Twins will try to play spoiler. The WhiteSox already swept the Twins at Target Field and they can do so again this week. -1,5 at Evs is great value for a team that WANTS and NEEDS to win.
.
.
.
Colorado Rockies at Arizona DBacks: The Diamondbacks are streaking hot again after they took off the batting practice of their daily schedule. The will now come up against the Colorado Rockies who lost the last series to Detroit. They go with Alex White on the mount and he gave up a lot of runs in his first start for the Rocks, but he was better than that. He will have his work cut out against Daniel Hudson who is storming into the “ace” category for the Dbacks. Take them at 27/20 for -1,5 even though the Rockies have been keeping games close lately.
.
.
.
Pittsburgh Pirates at Houston Astros: I dont like betting on games with only pride at stake, but Ohlendorf who pitches for redemption after getting slaughtered in his first start for 4 months will add some spice and with Wandy Rodriguez looking to show why he should have been traded on waivers this game has some intrigue to it. Both teams have scored a lot of runs so OVER 8 runs at 20/21 has to be the play here:
.

Another nice day in the baseball to look forward to. I have split the tips for today because there is an early schedule as well as a late schedule and i have to take some of the earlier games in my bets.
.
.
.
Phillies at Reds: Vance Worley is on the mount for the Phillies and he has been amazing in his first real year in the MLB. He is up against the also 23 year old Mike Leake and both have been good enough to be taken into account for a great role in the coming years. Vance Worley is unbeaten in his last 7 games and he only gave up 1 run in his last start over 7 innings. Phillies are still pushing for a great record to take into the playoffs and Cincin is bringing up a lot of young talent who are eligible to play on Thursday. The question is which once they will throw into the lions den, but either way Phillies is the pick at 5/4 -1,5 runs
.
.
.
ST Louis Cards at Milwaukee Brewers: As my followers know i have put a big time jinx on myself when backing the Cardinals. In this game it could be a nice time to decide to side with them again, but after 2 winning games against the league leaders they could come unstuck here as they go with a rookie on the mount. In fact, the guy in question is called Brandon Dickson and he has only been added to the roster on Thursday. He makes his first start against the Brewcrew and this might be too much of a test for him. Gallardo goes for the Brewers and he has been phenomenal in his last 3 starts. Giving up one run over 22 innings is good enough to silence the already not se hot bats from the Cards. Because of the recent losses to the Cards you can get the Brewers at 21/10 -1.5 runs.
.
.
.
NY Yankees at Boston Red Sox: This game could have major impact on the play off race in as far that the team winning this game could go on to win the division. There is 1,5 games between them in favor of the RedSox and AJ Burnett will need to pitch better than last time to get a win here. The problem for Boston is that John Lester is also not the best one to have on the mount right now and he has been pretty bad against the Yankees. Both team can score runs for fun and again the OVER 9,5 runs is the biggest value at 10/11
.
.
.
LA Angels at Seattle Mariners: When there is a play off place on the line you can count on a few pitchers to stay cool. Ervin Santana is one of these guys and he has been on a heater of late going 6-1 in his last 7 starts and dominating hitters. With Furbush on the mount for the Mariners the Angels hae got a chance to get into the action early as Furbush gave up a bunch right in the beginning against the WhiteSox. Expect the Angels to come out firing and if available take them to score first, or the first score to be in the top of the 1st, but for the conservative players that want a complete game to watch and bet on the Angels -1,5 at 20/21 is our play here.
.
.
.
Washington Nats at Atlanta Braves: I love the Braves and will always do, but in this game i have a hard time picking them to win or on the handicap. This is because the pitching lineup as Chien Ming Wang goes for the Nats and after about 53 injuries he is playing the way he did at the Yankees in the early stages of his career. He goes up against Tim Hudson and though he is a wily veteran he has been iffy to say the least lately. His record against the Nationals is good, but he lost 2 of the last 4 against them. Expecting the Nats to be able to get to Hudson means that the OVER 7,5 is the biggest value here at 4/5 as the Braves always will score 4 or 5 runs.
.
.
.
LA Dodgers at Pittsburgh Pirates: The Dodgers where absolutely horrible over the first few months of the season. The remarkable thing is that they can still overtake the reigning World Champions Giants for second in the division with a win here against Pittsburgh and some more winnings of course as they are 6 games back. They will love the challenge and their bats have been hot. Pittsburgh goes with a rookie and the Dodgers bring Eveland up from Triple A, but he has has MLB experience. This game could be a complete shootout with both teams hitting well and both pitchers probably nervous. This could end up 9-5 or something like that and with the line only at 8,5 the OVER at EVS is the right play here.
.
.
.
Tampa Bay Rays at Texas Rangers: Both teams are excellent hitting teams and have great pitching which is amplified by the fact that Jeff Niemann goes up against CJ Wilson today. Both have excellent records and pitch deep into games even though Wilson gave up too much against the Angels last time out. Both teams are excellent hitters as well and the question is which part of the teams will stand tall. I predict the pitching to hol dup in the Texas heat and the UNDER 8,5 needs to be played here at 21/20. For backers of the win TEXAS needs to be the pick as they are still fighting for the division.
.
.
.
ADVISED BETS:

Phillies -1,5 SINGLE
Late Pick:
Braves OVER 7,5 runs SINGLE

Tampa Bay under 8,5 runs

A Limited amount of tips today as i dont have many strong fancies and i only want to tip winners and not tip for the sake of it.
Best of luck everyone again today!
Baltimore at Tampa Bay: This should eb an easy win for Tampa Bay. However! Baltimore have won 5 out of 6 AT Tampa Bay and they have won 12 out of their last 16. This is an impressive feat and with Wade Davis on the mount for the Rays the trend could continue. A riskier bet, but 31/20 for a BALTIMORE WIN looks tasty and without breakfast I am hungry, so I will gobble up this value.
.
.
Dodgers at Braves: The Dodgers are extremyl hot winning 5 out of 5 and 10 out of 11. They will come up against the Braves who “need” to win to keep the lead in the wild card race. The 21 yearold pitcher form the Dodgers might get into trouble and Mike Minor is excellent for the Braves. BRAVES –1,5 at 7.5. If you can get a bet on the first SCORE for LA Dodgers…go for the 6th inning Glimlach at high prices.
.
.
.
Brewers at Astros: The Brewers are 8,5 games in front in the division and they will surely win it, but they want to take an excellent momentum in the upcoming playoffs. They are 11-3 on the road in their last 14 road games, so count on them to win against the Houston Astros as well. –1,5 at 6/5 is good value
05/09/2011 at 7:55 AM
Toronto at Yankees: The Yankees are getting hot at the right ti,e of the season. They have won 10 out of 16 from the Jays this seaosna nd 9 of 12 at home and they are pitching with aplomb right now. CC Sabathia is the ace and he goes up against Brett Cecil who allowed 4 runs in his last start alone. The Yankees have some minor injuries, but when you have Nunez and Andruw Jones on the bench you know you have some options. Yankees -1,5 is the play here.
.
.
.
CinCin at St Louis… This game has runs written all over it even with a stalwart like Bronson Arroyo pitching for the Reds. The Cards go with Edwin Jackson who has never pitched against the Reds despite 9 years in the MLB. Take the OVER on the runs total.
.
.
.
Twins at Angels: The Angels are working on a remarkable comeback and they are only 3,5 games back of the Rangers. They go with Joel Pineiro who is a solid pitcher and someone who pitched great in his last start. Kevin Slowey was not bad either for the Twins in his last start, but he needed it as he came of two terrible starts. Because of the momentum and the playoff implications I have to go with the Angels –1,5 in this game.
.
.
.
Orioles at Tampa Bay: Last night I decided to go against my personal instincts and go with the orioles because of the statistics, but today I will “do as I should” and go with Tampa Bay/ they have a definite pitching edge when Hellickson takes on Guthrie and with a near 0% chance of making the playoffs they will try to fight for their lives. The lineup is good enough to blast 6 or 7 runs in tthis game and Hellickson can keep the O’s to maybe 2 or 3. Tampa Bay Rays –1,5.
.
.
.
Arizona at San Fran Giants: Both teams are in a dogfight with each other trying to secure the division. Arizona is now a massive 6 games up and this game could decide the momentum going into the last month of regular season ball. Arizona has a slight advantage in pitching here, but Ryan Vogelsong does not give up many runs depsite his losses (3 in a row). Daniel Hudson has been great for the DBacks and he will be again today, so go with the UNDER the total runs today
06/09/2011 at 1:11 AM
Baltimore Orioles at New York YANKEES: Going to the Bronx is normally not something that teams dream about for fun and today it could turn into a complete nightmare for the O’s. Freddie Garcia is looking to show why he belongs in New York by doing something similar to his last start where he gave up 1 run and only 2 hits in 6 innings. The Yankees back up their pitchers with plenty of runs normally and today could be more of the same as the Yankees get a chance ot hit against Brian Matusz. This pitcher has given up at least 6 runs is all of his last 5 starts. Take into account that the Yankees have 3!! players with 100 Runners Batted IN (RBIs’s) this season (for comparison..there are only 4 more batters in the league with 100RBI’s in the whole league). This could be a complete rout and 10/13 is even value for Yankees -1,5.
.
.
.
Texas Rangers at Tampa Bay Rays: It does not happen often that a game between these two teams offers a runline of just 7,5 runs. This is the case today as both teams go with excellent pitchers. Scott Feldman goes for the Rangers and despite the fact that he is not a regular starter, he is not worse than scheduled starter Alexi Ogando. He was flawless the last time throwing for 6 scoreless innings. Tampa Bay counters with its own ace in James Shields. He has given up only 1 run in his last two starts. So it is easy to see why the runline is very low and despite that i always like both teams to score i am afraid to touch it this time. Texas still fights for the division and is the excellent alternative here at 5/4 for a WIN.
.
.
.
Detroit Tigers at Cleveland Indians: When you look at the records of the pitchers you expect to see the two worst teams in baseball in action. The truth is though that both pitchers have a WINNING record since being traded to their new teams. Doug Fister was tipped up the last time and he duly obliged, but this time he is up against Ubaldo Jimenez and that makes life a bit harder again. Detroitis leading the division and they are trying to get rid of the Indians who are still in striking distance with a 6 game deficit. This really is last chance saloon for the Indians and 5/6 is a decent value for a straight up WIN for the Indians.
.
.
.
CinCin Reds at Chicago Cubs: Who at the beginning of the season would have said that these two teams are absolutely horrible at the business end of the season would have been locked up in The Priory or a mental institution. The fact is that both teams are on a downward spiral and the question is which team can snap that run. Dontrelle Willis goes for the Reds and he has not won a game in OVER a year. He has pitched some gems though and only recorded losses because of getting no run support. The fact he has only 3 wins in 37 starts is worrying though, but Matt Garza who goes for the Cubbies has an even patchy record this year. This horrible matchup and lack of hitting by both teams offer some value as the Reds are a massive 6/5 to just WIN the game. Reds to WIN is a fun and attractive bet in this game.
.
.
.
SanFran Giants at San Diego Padres: The Giants still have a small chance of defending their title, but they need to be really quickly winning games. San Diego finally won a game again on Sunday and they are looking to build with some of their rookies coming back after a brief stint in Triple A. Both pitchers have good records, but against each other they have given up plenty of runs. This despite the lack of hitting from both teams. This means we can look at the runline in this game and as it is at an incredible 6 runs it might be worth going OVER and hoping history will continue (with both pitchers giving up runs against each other) and at the same time that history will be broken (both teams to finally score some runs). If it finishes 4-2 or 5-1 you will get your money back so 5/6 for OVER 6 runs is the play.
.
.
.
Atlanta Braves at Phillies: For some reason this is a matchup without real consequences. Phillies are more than a week of wins ahead of the Braves and the Braves are more than a week of wins in front of the Cardinasl int he wild card race. Does that mean the teams will drink tea together and shares laughs on the fields? No chance!! These teams have an age old rivalry in the National League and with Cliff Lee and Derek Lowe coming up against each other it is a nice pitching duel. Cliff lee had a 0.45 ERA in August and that is better than his horrible august last year. He followed that last year with an incredible September, so lets see if he can do it again. Lowe hopes to win his 10th game for the 10th season in his career. Still i need to go with the Phillies to show the Braves they are the real powerhouses in the NL. Phillies -1,5 at 11/10

Baltimore Orioles at New York Yankees: The Yankees pitcher will be Phil Hughes and yet again he is fighting for his play off spot on the roster. With a good outing he might just make it even harder for Coach Girardi and he is taken to make an impressive start here against the O’s who have lost 6 of 7 to the Yankees at New Yankees Stadium. Tommy Hunter goes for Baltimore and he is solid as well so dont expect he same scoreline as yesterday when it was 10-11. Yankees -1,5 is the play here.
.
.
.
Atlanta Braves at Philladelphia Phillies: The Phillies are absolutely rolling at the moment. They go against the Braves who are till looking good to make the play offs as well. Vance Worley goes for the Phillies and they have won the last 12 times he took the start. Why would that change now? I can not see why even though Tim Hudson is going for the Braves. Phillies -1,5 is the play here for me again.
.
.
.
CinCin Reds at Chicago Cubs: The Cubbies are firmly looking forward to next year with some call ups from Triple A today. Some of them might get some playing time and with Lopez on the mount who lost his last three starts this could be a tough game for the Wrigley fiedl faithful. Mike Leake might have his last start for the Reds today as he is on limited innings for the year and he will want to close out the season in good fashion. Odds against is available for the CinCin Reds to win, so take that and watch an expeced enjoyable game.
.
.
.
Chicago WhiteSox at Minnesota Twins: Yikes…welcome to the big leagues. That can be said for pitcher Hendriks who will make his major league debut against the Twins jinx. The WhieSox are 7-1 against the Twins in their last 8 games and their pitchers have an amazing 1.88 ERA in that stretch. They go with Jake Peavy who is solid and there is no other outcome here than a comprehensive WhiteSox win. -1,5 at 5/4 is nice value.
.
.
.
Milwaukee Brewers at St Louis Cardinals: Most followers know by now that i can not stand the Cardinals anymore. When i back them they are rubbish and vice versa. Today i have to oppose them again and i think this is with reason (yet again). Gallardo is a steady pitcher for the Brewers and that could be enough against a tired, but rested Kyle Lohse. He has a bad ERA in July and August and he could get tagged for a few here too today. The Brewers are 40-15 in their last 55 games which is a phenomenal record. -1,5 is 29/20 which is more than enough to lump on.
.
.
.
New york Mets at Florida Marlins: The Marlins are on a nearly unprescedented 3 game winning streak and two of these wins have been against the Mets. Volstad pitches for them and he lost his last start which was against the Mets too, but he pitched well and did not deserve the loss in all honesty. The Mets go with Batista and this si not the former WWE superstar, but a decent pitcher. He could get his third win of the seaosn here, but because of pedigree and recent result the Marlins have to be the play at 4/5 just for the WIN.
Advised Bets:
Phillies -1,5
Yankees -1,5
Marlins WIN
WhiteSox -1,5
Brewers -1,5
CinCin Reds Win
08/09/2011 at 7:56 AM
After another successful day in the mlb baseball with 4 out of 6 wins and another winning day for followers of “the philosophy” it is time to look at another day in the baseball:
Texas at Tampa Bay: When two excellent pitchers in Derek Holland and David Price come to the mount you expect a pure pitchers duel, but for some reason today could be a bit different. Derek Holland has a 13-5 record with only a 4.13 ERA, but against the Rays he has a 7.29 ERA (and still a near perfect 3-1 record). He is also the pitcher in the MLB that gets the most run support with 7.52. As far as David Price goes het is 4-8 at home, which means he is 8-4 on the road. As the game is played at Tropicana Field he could lose yet another game here. I like to take the OVER here as i can see 10 or 11 runs easily being scored here today and i would also not discourage anyone going for the Rangers win.
.
.
.
San Fran Giants at Sand Diego Padres: The first instinct when looking at this game is to immediately dive in on the UNDER and to not spend any more time on this game, but the run line is too low to get involved with and that means some new angle needs to be found. Matt Cain pitches for the Giants and he is finally showing what he is made of. He had an excellent last start where he fought back from a rough first inning and he can close down the hit shy Padres. Aaron Harang goes for the Padres and he is still looking for “lucky” win 13. He failed twice even though he has only given up 2 runs in his last start. With the Giants starting to hit a bit more and the Padres thinking their bats are eggs and they should definitely NOT be hit by a ball, it is only possible to go for a San Fran win and depending on the odds -1,5 might be a play, but that needs to be at least 13/10.
.
.
.
Detroit Tigers at Cleveland Indians: for once in my life i am just going to shut up quickly and just say two words: Justin Verlander. Detroit -1.5.. Ok.. everyone can pick Verlander, so maybe a few more words. Masterson goes for the Tribe looking for win 12 and he comes of a disappointing win?!! as he gave up 4 runs in that outing. He will not have that luxury here as Verlander will no doubt keep it tight again and pick up win number 22!!for the season. Just for reference.. that is the MOST any Detroit pitcher ever won in a season in 30 years! Detroit -1,5.
.
.
.
Arizona DBacks at Colorado Rockies: The DBacks are cruising towards the playoffs and they give Joe Saunders a chance here to redeem himself. Since July he has an uncharacteristic 5.50 ERA and his last start can be forgiven thanks to a virus infection. The Dbacks go up against a much changed Rockies lineup with some kids (like really.. kids) in their lineup. This includes a catcher from Double A level. They are looking towards 2012 and maybe even 2013 before getting competative and the DBacks are extreme good value at 23/20 for an outright win. They oppose Kevin Milwood who was good in his last start, but as we just go for the win 1-0 is more than enough for us.
.
.
.
Milwaukee at St Louis: Zack Greinke goes here for the Brewers out of Milwaukee and he is looking for win nr 15 on the season. The Brewcrew are 17-6 when Greinke starts and they will want to make clear to NL rivals St Louis that they mean business. they have a good chance to do so as Chris Carpenter takes the ball for the Cardinals. He has been absolutely horrible for his on standard and he gives up a big inning in nearly every game. That is detrimental against a superb hitting site like the Brewers. The Cardinals also lost the last 4 start Carpenter made. Take the 21/20 for the win or go wild and look at the Alternative Handicap market and take them -1,5 at roughly 7/4.
.
.
.
Boston RedSox at Toronto Blue Jays”There is only one way to go int his game and that is OVER the total runs even though the line is high at 9,5. Tim Wakefield is still trying to get his 200th lifetime victory and he has been trying to get there for 6 weeks now. He just cant get it done and keeps giving up runs aplenty. He and the Redsox go up against Brandon Morrow. and he has been in about the same form as Wakefield. He lost 5 out of his last 6 and his ERA is close to 5.00, which is the same ERA as Wakefield has. Count on this being a 8-4 or a 12-7 ballgame with both bullpens giving up an un proportionate amount of runs as well.
.
.
.
ADVISED BETS:
Single:
Detroit Tigers -1,5
Double:
DBacks WIN
SanFran WIN/-1,5
Treble:
RedSox Over 9,5
Milwaukee Win/-1,5 on alternative handicaps
Texas OVER 7,5

Goodafternoon gentleman
Here are the baseball tips for today. I will also tweet them to you in a second for you to retweet if you want.
Boston at Toronto: With the play off race well and truly on between Boston and the Yankees the RedSox need to win all the games they can. Giving up yesterday in a game they had wrapped up as it seemed is a big blow to win the division. It could get even worse today as the RedSox put Andrew Miller in the limelight again. The last time out he definitely stood in the limelight as he was pulled after 1 1/3 innings in a 10-0 loss to Texas. He needs to bounce back against a potent offense and solid defense that starts with Ricky Romero on the mount. He went 5-0 in August and was named AL Pitcher of the Month even though the last time against the Yankees he got hit hard. He fought through it however, and that seems a quality much missed by the RedSox. Take Toronto to win -1,5 at 6/4
.
.
.
Cleveland at Chicago WhiteSox: In this game the second place in the division is up for grabs and despite the fact that it will not have play off affects, it will still be a hotly contested game as both teams want to finish second. Huff and Floyd are the pitchers on duty and they both love to give up runs. They are not bad pitchers, and Huff even went 2-0 in his career against the WhiteSox with an 8.00 ERA, but they get hit easily and regularly. This bodes well for spectators as they could see many, many runs, so take the over 8,5 runs at 20/21.
.
.
.
Atlanta at METS (GAME 1): In game 1 of the double header there is some value as the hapless Atlanta Braves visit The New York Mets. With Mike Minor on the mount the Braves have a chance of keeping the free hitting Mets off the board. The Mets have won 10 of 13 while the Braves have lost 7 out of 10. Despite this the Braves will try to stem the tide as they look to secure their play off place. The Mets go with a debutant in Schwinden who already has a very high pitchcount in Triple A. Getting a start in the majors will form him, but it might come at a price. 4/5 for a Braves win is excellent value.
.
.
.
Kansas City as Seattle: This game has got RUNS written all over it. With Luke Hochevar the Royals do have one top prospect on the mount, but he is as inconsistent as can be. He goes up against Vargas who is even worse with his consistency. Both pitchers will try to finish the year strong, but as both teams have recently shown they can hit the ball EVS for the over 8 runs is perfectly fine here.
.
.
.
Phillies at Milwaukee: This game is nothing more than a showdown of giants. Both teams are virtually guaranteed to meet in the NLCS in October and both will want to show the other what they are made of. In this case the momentum going into October could be a huge help for either team in the psychological warfare. Chris Narveson goes for Milwaukee against Cole Hamels and because this is not a playoff games, both teams do not start with their aces on the mount. In this case the slight advantage goes to Milwaukee in the pitchers department and with possibly Rickie Weeks out for Milwaukee the game seems to level up pretty well. As most bettors put Philladelphia on their slip automatically Milwaukee to win at 23/20 is amazing value.
.

Cleveland Over 8,5 runs
Kansas City OVER 8 runs
Toronto -1,5 TrebleToronto -1,5 Treble
11/09/2011 at 10:57 AM
Cleveland Indians at Chicago Whitesox: A grudgematch as these teams do not really liek each other. Fausto Carmona goes for the Indians and after 7 great starts after an injury he has been in the dolldrums for the last 3 starts. He gave up 17 runs on just 13 innings over his last three start. Philip Humber counters for the Sox and he has been amazing in his last start taking into accoutn he got drilled with a ball in the start before. Right above they eye that lien drive was and he came back very well. Expect the WhiteSox to dominate the game and get on board early. 29/20 for Whitesox -1,5 my play here.
.
.
.
Kansas City at Seattle: The Royals from Kansas City go with Paulino and he has been absolutely shocking this year. This will eb his first start against the Mariners who counter with Pineida who is a decent up and coming pitcher. The line is only 7 runs and with Paulino his record and the ability of even Kansas City to hit runs that has to be taken on. OVER 7 runs at 20/21
.
.
.
Oakland A’s at Texas Rangers: The Rangers have won 9 in a row against the A’s and last night it was 13-4 after being down early. They probably wont go down early today as they go with Alexi Ogando. He has been amazing lately and he can continue his rich vein of form here against Cahill. Cahill won his last start too and he is very good, but Texas will have too much for him. -1,5 at 11/10 is value
13/09/2011 at 11:36 AM
Tampa Bay at Baltimore: Thanks to an excellent weekend the Rays are back in the playoff race. Could they really overtake the RedSox and push them out of the season finale? With Jeff Niemann on the mount they at least have a consistent pitcher. Zach Britton goes for the Orioles and he has been good of late. After an indifferent start to the season he has picked it up in the last two months or so including a win over the Rays last month. With the momentum fully in favor of the Rays you got to take them to win this by -1,5 runs at 23/20
.
.
.
Floria Marlins at Atlanta Braves: This is an age old rivalry that used to have huge impact on the playoffs. This scenario is back even though it is not because both teams are still in the hunt. Atlanta is still in the lead in the Wild Card race and they can take a 5+ games leads over the Cardinals here. They go with Brandon Beachy who has started 22 times this season and only lost twice. His last loss was somewhere in the dark ages (july) and with that streak going the Braves will be hard to beat. They also beat the Marlins in 9 out of 12 this season so take the 10/11 for a win by 1,5 runs or more.
.
.
.
Chicago Cubs at Cincin Reds: In september you normally get young-up-and-cming pitchers on the mount. Not so in this game with two veterans fighting for their contracts and for a comeback respectively. Lopez for the Cubs has a bad record, but nothign compared to Dontrelle Willis who is 0-5 since coming back intot he majors. He has pitched very decent though and is due a win. Lopez gives up a lot of homers and that can be a problem against the Reds. Despite the fact that the Reds shoudl win this game, the OVER 9,5 runs at 10/11 is the value.
.
.
.
New York Yankees at Seattle Mariners: Normally this game is an easy tick in the box for the Yankees, but when Seattle goes with CY young winner Felix Hernandez the story is a bit different. Hernandez is nearly unbeatable for the Yankees as shown by the 5-0 record since 2009 with a 1.29 ERA for Hernandez. However, the Yankees have their own stats to prove they will as they are redhot (20-7) when coming of a shutout win. This, and the fact that Phil hughes has not given up more than 2 run s in his last 5 starts after having a horrible start to the season, means that EVS for the Yankees to WIN is excellent value. They also hold the edge in one and two run games compared to the Mariners. With a chance to extend the lead in the division the Yankees wil be primed for this. WIN at EVS for the Yankees in this one.
.
.
.
San Diego Padres at SanFran Giants: Just a few days ago you would be very confident marking the UNDER box in this game without even looking further thus saving time. However, yesterday the Giants managed to hit 8 runs which must have felt like 23 to them as they dont hit anymore. Looking further though, that might have been the only time they will hit a lot of runs as they comu up against Aaron Harang who is having by far his best season. He has been incredible and on a better team he could easily have been in Cy Young contention. Going for the Giants is Eric Surkamp who did not even pitch in Triple A. H went straight from Double A to the rotation and in his third start he can pick up his second win. He already beat the Padres and gave up three runs. He will be more settled now so dont count on many runs going in that way either. UNDER 7 at EVS is the safest play here.
.
.
.
LA Angels at Oakland A’s: The Angels have become a hot commodity in baseball. They won 6 of 8 and took 2 of 3 from the Yankees over the weekend. They are only 2,5 games back of the Rangers and with Joel Pineiro on the mount the go with a consistent and decent pitcher. The A’s go with Gio Gonzalez who is younger, but just as consistent. The A’s however will go with a lot of youngsters and even throw in guys that have played only ONE MLB game in their careers. They are an error prone team and with rookies left, right and center this trend can easily continue. 6/5 for the Angels is an insult as they are the only team fighting for something with the best players. Row in on it before it is gone.
.
.
Advised Bets:
.
.
La Angels WIN at 6/5 single
.
.
.
Yankees WIN at 10/11
Atlanta -1,5 at 10/11 double
.
.
.
SanFran Giants UNDER 7 runs at EVS
CinCin Reds OVER 9,5 runs at 20/21
Tampa Bay -1,5 at 23/20 treble
14/09/2011 at 8:01 AM
St Louis at Pittsburgh: you could say i am a gluten for punishment. Yet again the Cardinals appear on my list of games to follow and once again i am picking them to win a game. The go with Chris Carpenter who could reach 10 wins with a win here and who also is very close to signing a new deal. He goes up against Jeff Karstens of the Pirates who has been anything but good lately. His last two outings where skipped because of fatigue and with the Cards going for the playoff push he might come unstuck again. So take the Cardinals at 20/21 -1,5
.
.
.
Yankees at Mariners: The Yankees are looking to put the division to bed soon and they will bring AJ Burnett back in to do the job. The Yankees are getting a little bit of pain and sorrow with a lot of players hurt or injured, but they need to fight through it at this important stage of the season. The Mariners have got nearly 50% of their team consisting of rookies and that says enough against this well oiled Yankee machine. Could on the Yankees getting on the board early against Charlie Furbush and take them -1,5 at 10/11
.
.
.
Detroit at Chicago WhiteSox: This looks to be the best game on offer today for baseball fans with Justin Verlander going for win number 23 of the season. This is also the Tigers’ chance to win 11 in a row which is something the Tigers have not managed to do for a pitcher since 45 years or so. They come up against the Sox Who go with Gavin Floyd who has been superb his last 6 starts with a 3-0 record, but he could be hurt here as the Tigers look to put their magical number for the playoffs down to 5. Detroit -1,5 at 10/11 for me
.
.
.
Washington at New York Mets: The Nationals might have saved an excellent pitcher from the doldrums as Chin Ming Wang is definitely getting back in the groove. He is pitcher better every start and he gets a chance here to win another game when the Nats come up against the Mets and Dillon Gee who is as consistent as a compass at the north pole.. Good and bad follow each other in quick succession and with a MASSIVE 5/4 on offer for a Nats win that value needs to be gobbled up.
.
.
.
Toronto at Boston: When i first saw this lineup i was looking to play the overs in this game, but the line is set at a hefty 10,5 runs so despite the fact i believe it will be an over i am leaving that alone. Boston goes with Time Wakefield on the mount and for an unbelievable 8th time will he try to win 200 games. He just cant get the win thanks to either his fault or the bullpen giving up a truckload of runs. Brandon Morrow for the Jays is also giving up runs for fun, so the question is who will win here? I believe at 6/5 the Jays are the value here as they can continue to put the misery on the RedSox who are in panic mode after losing 5 straight games.
.
.
.
Phillies at Houston: The Phillies can claim a playoff place with a win here and they go behind Cole Hamels who has been excellent since he had some niggling injuries. The Phillies will want to win the division, but getting the playoff spot secured will mean something so count on them tagging Happ, who pitches for the Astros, for a decisive win. Even though Happ has been good lately since a demotion he will struggle against former teammates and against ex Astro Pence who is back in Houston for the first series since his trade. The Phillies -1,5 at 20/27 for an accumulator.
.
.

Advised Bets:
Yankees -1,5 SINGLE
.
.
.
Toronto WIN
Detroit -1,5 DOUBLE
.
.
Phillies -1,5
Washington Win
Cardinals -1,5

It is time for the ncaa again with the spotlight as the baseball gets too close to the playoffs to make it a profitable suggestion
NORTH CAROLINA STATE vs CINCINNATI
Take CINCINNATI</strong
NC State (2-1 SU, 0-1 ATS) has fourth-year coach Tom O'Brien, who likes
a balanced offense and his 2010 team averaged 32.6 points, 281 yards
passing and 125 rushing. However, star QB Russell Wilson is gone along
with a pair of dynamite wide receivers in Owen Spencer and Jarvis
Williams, two of the fastest in the ACC, so this offense is rebuilding.
O'Brien and Bible love a power running game, and have senior RB Curtis
Underwood and junior James Washington. Junior QB Mike Glennon (8 TDs, 1
INT) runs the offense that is averaging 35 points and 235 yards
passing. They flopped in their biggest test in a 34-27 loss at Wake
Forest, allowing 438 yards (337 passing). Glennon had a career-high 315
yards passing and three touchdowns, all coming in the second half as
the Wolfpack attempted to come back down 34-13. The defense is allowing
24 ppg and will struggle in this one. The Wolfpack are 18-7-1 ATS vs. a
team with a winning record. Cincinnati (2-1 SU, 1-1 ATS) has a high
octane offense for Coach Butch Jones. The Bearcats run a wide-open,
attacking spread offense and they return a lot of players to an uptempo
offense that is averaging 47 points, 230 yards passing and 240 yards
rushing. Senior QB Zach Collaros (6 TDs, 0 INTs) has been very good, a
scrambler, along with senior RB Isaiah Pead. Tennessee cruised to a
45-23 win over Cincinnati as the Bearcats had 396 yards but gave up 531
(405 passing). Isaiah Pead led the Bearcats with 155 yards rushing, DJ
Woods had 111 yards receiving and Zach Collaros was 21 for 34 for 230
yards. Co-coordinators Tim Banks and John Jancek have some retooling to
do, building around senior DT Derek Wolfe up front. Zach Collaros
threw for a touchdown and ran for another Saturday, and Cincinnati's
defense returned three turnovers for touchdowns in the first half,
setting up a 59-14 victory over winless Akron that provided the
Bearcats a chance to rest. The Bearcats are 4-8 ATS in their last 12
home games vs. a team with a losing road record, 6-14 ATS in their last
20 games overall.
Projected Score: Cincinnati 38, NC State 27
01/10/2011 at 1:15 PM
Tampa Bay Rays at Texas Rangers: This is maybe the shock of the century as no one expected the Rays to make it to the playoffs and they could struggle in their first game as they had to battle hard for the last week or so to get there. Being fighting so hard also meant they had to use their full rotation to get there and that led to them going with ROOKIE Matt Moore in the first play off game. This is a definite risk for them, but Moore has been outstanding pitching just over 9 innings in total in the majors so far. He struck out 15 batters including an azazing 11 Yankees in his start against them just over a week ago. He seems to be the real deal, but an away game in the post season is hard to fathom for a rookie. Add to this that he needs to go up against CJ wilson and he will have his work cut out. CJ has been outstanding for the Rangers yet again this season. He has a low 2.94ERA on the season and threw an awfulk lot of pitches already. He beat the Rays in last seasons playoffs in 6 and a bit shutout innings and he Rays have not changed that much. The Rangers won the last 6 games straight in the regular season with a little bit less pressure on them and the Rays have celebrated yesterday in good old American fashion so this might just go to the Rangers. Count on a low scoring game with probably a 3-1 or 4-2 scoreline for the RANGERS. There is 6/5 available for a -1,5 on the RANGERS and with all the momentum going with them, that seems to be the best bet of the night even though the season series are very close., This makes the 8/5 for a RAYS win an excellent hedge option. These two bets would guarantee a small profit if combining them which would ONLY lose with a 1 run win for Texas.
Detroit Tigers at New York Yankees: This is one of the most electric match ups possible with CC Sabathia and Justin Verlander on the mount for the Yankees and Tigers respectively. The “weird” thing is that both pitchers are sensational against EVERY team except their opponent tonight. CC has not won against Detroit and has a 4.15ERA against them this season and well.. Verlander has a 4.50 ERA without a win against the Yankees. This si not so strange if you look at the lineups where both have extreme hitting power. The Yankees have had a relative easy season finale without pressure which set them up perfectly for this series and that might just edge the run total in their favour. As the run total line is just 7 there is value in playing the OVER with both pitchers able to give up runs against their opponents AND the power in both lineups. The Yankees -1,5 at 33/20 is another player here. You can in this game also get Detroit outright at odds against so again you could “dutch” both options and make profit IF the Yankees dont win by 1 run.
02/10/2011 at 10:09 AM
Unfortunately saturdays post got deleted before i posted it here, but for the record:
Bets where Phillies -1,5 and OVER 7 runs (both won)
Rays game: FIRST score scored in Top 1st or Top 2nd 3/1 WON
Rays :ast Score Top 7th or Bottom 7th (lost..just…)
03/10/2011 at 11:15 AM
BBBOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Excellent playoffs so far with Fridays bet BOTH coming in for a nice double (the “no lose” bets) and Saturday even getting a 3/1 on first scoring inning landed…Also the Phillies OVER and -1,5 predicted so an excellent weekend so far..will it continue???
Here is what i think of todays action
Detroit at New York Yankees:
With the possible return of a pitcher called Verlander in the third game it seems very good advice to the Yankees to take a 2-0 lead into Detroit. They bring Freddie Garcia to the mount against Max Scherzer and On form and figures there is not much between the two. Freddie would get the nod slightly on experience and composure in his last few starts, but maybe we can make money regardless of who wins??? Take Detroit to WIN outright and Yankees -1,5 BOTH at 13/10.. This means if you put a level stake on both you will win 14% interest on your money unless the Yankees win by exactly 1 run.. Excellent bets these 🙂
Arizona at Milwaukee:
Fortunately for followers this game offers the same options as the Yankees game. Both teams go with excellent pitchers, but both play for the first time in the post season. That is the ONLY reason i CAN advise the same bet as with the Yankees, because if both pitchers get their performance under control, this could finish 1-0.. That is something we dont want as we will take the DBacks WIN and Milwaukee -1,5 BOTH at 7/5.. Again a nice 20% interest rate IF the Brewers do NOT win by 1 run.
St Louis at Phillies:
This game is about the pitching and the Phillies go with Cliff Lee who has been outstanding for the last few years. He is an extremely talented pitcher still and Chris Carpenter has been rubbish on occasions. This gives us again Phillies -1,5 at 6/5 and that is the only advised bet here..
07/10/2011 at 11:11 AM
Last chance saloon tonight for both the Detroit Tigers and the New York Yankees in this all decisive game who goes on to the ALCS.
NO need to beat about the bush here and expect the Yankees -1,5 at around odds of 6/5….
They go with their “new” ace in Ivan Nova who managed to deal with the post season jitters giving up ZERO runs in over 6 innings in the “new” game one they had last weekend and he is unbeaten in his last 17!!!!! starts. Incredible composure will be needed and he posesses it. Count also the fact that AND CC Sabathia would be avaialble in relief as well as a fresh David Robertson in the eight and MO Rivera in the 9th and the Detorit Tigers have their hands full.
Doug Fister starts for the Tigers and he was phenomenal in the last two months, but he struggled in his first post season start last weekend. Now again in New york he might be overcome by the big stage and that will be very difficult against this Yankees Lineup.
The Tigers know how to hit, but they have not figured out Ivan Nova and i dont see them doing it tonight.
Yankees -1,5 is the play here with some interesting side bets possible
First scoring play Bottom 3rd, Bottom 4th
Last Scoring play Bottom 7th, Bottom 8th.
These are all available at great odds so have a look at your bookies list
10/10/2011 at 12:29 PM
Very busy day today so just short version of my tips today:
Take the Milwaukee Brewers to win by -1,5 or more and take the over 7,5
Both teams HATE each other with a passion and this will be a feisty encounter and with the homecrowd getting intot it i can not see any other outcome here.
With the excellent bullpen for the brewers it might be fun to stick on an extra side bet on the LAST scoring play to be BOTTOM 7 or BOTTOM 8…
First scoring play could be Bottom 1 or Bottom 2…. decent odds for all these selections.
In the Amnerican football i am going with the JETS in the later game today. Patriots give upo too many points lately to take them minus a TD and a bit, so JETS +7,5 is the play
19/10/2011 at 10:35 AM
The BBOOOMMMMSSSSSSS are still rining around the world after we got the WIn –1,5 last night as well as the OVER total runs AND the last scoring play (fun bet at 9/1) so lets see if we can continue this today.
When Max Scherzer and Derek Holland take the mount for the Tigers and the Rangers respectively it is time for the “new”aces to stand up. Both have been remarkable during the season and Holland is 6-0 in his last 7 starts. Scherzer has been pitching on Thursday for just over 30 balls and that might put him off a little bit. As i also have the feeling that the Rangers have got their lineup spot on (with all the right handers in Detroit pitching) i think that they can take a 2-0 lead to Detroit. Take Texas -1,5 and also go for the under 9 runs as it will probably be 3-1 or 4-2 game.
The Brewers and the Cardinals go at it again and still there is no love lost between the two sides. As Milwaukee go with Shaun Marcum i have to side with the Cards in this game. They have a strong Edwin Jackson on the mount who is coming of a good september and a win in the NLDS. Marcum ont he other hand has struggled big time in September and also took a loss against Arizona in the NLDS. Take ST Louis on the outright to win the game and take a dabble at the overs.
Fun side bets:
Detroit-Texas
First Scoring play Top 4th
First scoring play Bottom 4th
Last Scoring play Bottom 8th
Last scoring play Bottom 9th
St Louis- Milwaukee
First Scoring play Top 1st
First scoring play Top 2nd
Last Scoring play Top 7th
Last Scoring play Bottom 7th

It’s TIMMEEEEEEEEEE
Who gets upset nowadays about a little bit of rain? Lets just go at it 24hrs later.
The good thing is that both teams go with their planned starters so no worries about different matchups.
This is particularly good news for the Cardinals who are in a MUST WIN situation. They go with Jaime Garcia (vamos Mexico) who has been exceptional at home this year. The Cards even planned on him having two home games to start in this series which shows you how much Tony La Russa and the Cards think of him.
He goes up against Colby Lewis who over the last two seasons has been the most reliable pitcher in the post season for the Rangers.
We need to go back a little bit (2 days) over 2 months to find the Rangers losing back-to-back games, but the Cardinals will need to do just that to clinch the series.
I can not see many runs here as i expect a repeat of the GAME 2 result in which both pitchers went deep intot he game and gave up 1 run between them. I think the stellar lineup for the Cardinals will come together here to clinch a FINAL game 7, but where can we find value???
11/5 is on offer for the Cardinals to wint he series and that needs to be value as they will have homefield advantage for the next two games and with a predicted win tonight we get 11/5 on one game which is great value.
The UNDER 7 runs tonight is 21/20 and that is a pretty low line, but i can not see the OVER landing so take the 21/20 as long as it is there..
A nice side bet might be to go for NO homerun in this game as both pitchers can go 7 innings without giving up one and the bullpens are storng enough as well and 9/4 is great value there
Advised:
11/5 St louis to WIN the World Series
Under 7 runs at 21/20
NO Homerun at 9/4
