Murph's Mularkey - 8/7/08

[NIU Murph]

Had a family emergency yesterday, no plays posted.

I've got one play today so far:

1. ARI RL (+125) - I am really down on the Braves right now. The Braves are a terrible road team and I think Arizona can score enough runs off of Morton to cover this spread.

TWO UNITS.

I'll update my record shortly.

Staying in the Green!

I'm fading the Rays tonight. Coming off an emotional win on getaway day, they fly all the way across the country to Seattle. I looked back and I see that they are vulnerable on their first road game after a home game.

They have two wins (one in Miami, which doesn't require a lot of travel and one in StL)

They have one 1 run loss to Minnesota.

They have losses of 2 runs or more to Bal, Bos, NYY, KC.

I'm taking a slight risk here counting on a 2+ run loss, but what the hell?

SEA RL +150

2 units

Hope your emergency was nothing too serious Murph.


RL are very very tough especially for home teams. Not sure the exact number, but it's over half of come from behind wins are by 1 run I believe. Not trying to jinx you, I wish you luck tonight. Mariners should have a very nice night against Sonnanstine!

[NIU Murph]

Thanks, Biff. You were right on the RL plays.

The emergency was my mother was taken to the hospital. She passed away around noon yesterday. She was only 55, but had been battling lung cancer for 2+ years. I won't be on the board for a week or so.
