Maxx's 9/8 Plays

[Maxx_Power]

Back after a hiatus over the holiday weekend. Was not able to keep up with a lot of the happenings over the weekend so I can't say I feel too locked in with many teams right now. There also is not much going on as far as pennant races so most games are featuring teams with nothing to play for... or at the very least no real sense of urgency. That also means some guys may be sitting or some younger guys getting at bats on teams that look to be in the playoffs. Bottom line... there are many variables to deal with down the stretch here so I don't feel as compelled to put winnings at risk in those situations. That said... I'm jumping back in today to see how things go... will be cutting back on the units though to avoid catastrophic losses.

TOR -107 ML to win 1 unit
Fading MIN on the road, vs East, against a lefty... seems like a reasonable price.

CHC -118 ML to win 1/2 unit
CHC +145 RL risk 1/2 unit
I don't really know why I like the Cubs here but I do. I think it's because they tend to be so backwards at times. Dempster has been really solid and I think is a pretty proud guy so I don't think he'll mail it in. +145 RL money is decent for a road team playing a team as bad as the Pirates.

DET -156 ML to win 1/2 unit
DET -105 RL risk 1/2 unit
Fading Chen and I think Porcello can keep that Royals lineup under wraps. DET with a golden opportunity to really remove all doubt when it comes to their division by taking care of business in these types of games.

CWS -150 ML to win 1/2 unit
CWS +135 RL risk 1/2 unit
Counting on the A's to cool off after 2 wins and a day off while traveling. Facing a good young pitcher they've never seen. Tomko has come back to earth as well.

Parlay COL/LAD MLs +121 risk 1 unit
Counting on the Reds to come out flat after having their winning streak snapped. Fading Buckner against a Dodger team that knows they must keep winning while COL mops up against CIN.
