friday bases

[Mark's Moneymakers]

(11-2)(+8.39 units) favorite bets
(7-8)(-0.15 units) underdog bets
(1-2)(-1.00 units) runline bets
(0-5)(-5.00 units) parlays

(19-17)(+2.24 units) overall


Won my favorite pick, won my underdog pick and lost my parlay again. My parlays usually consist of big favs where I don’t want to lay all that juice. I guess the big favorites are going down seeing how my parlays are 0-5 this year. Despite the record, I am not giving up on them yet, even though I should. Overall, I still have a winning record and I still are on the plus side of things, so no complaints from me….just observations.

I am off work today, so here is my full card for the whole day.



After all the parlay talk, that is what I am going to start off with. Taking two big favs again that should not lose.

Minnesota vs Tampa Bay
NY Mets vs Washington risking 1 to win 1.23 units


Minnesota has Santana throwing at home today and he is almost unbeatable at home. Last year he was 2-0 with an era of 1.93 vs Tampa Bay.

Mets should be a winner as well. Washington got their win out of their system winning last night in Altanta. I would be shocked if Washington can win back to back games against this competition. I really think Washington is that bad that they are going to lose 100 games this year.


Atlanta -105 vs Florida………..Pitching matchup greatly favors Florida with Willis throwing vs Redman. Even though I am a phillies fan and the Mets won the division last year, I have said from the start of the season that the Braves might just sneak up on everybody and take they division. Afterall, last year was the first year they did not win it in many years and it is not like they suck all of a sudden. Willis is a great pitcher, but is only 4-4 career vs the Braves, so they braves do know how to beat him. I will gladly take Atlanta at home only laying -105.

Toronto -145 vs Detroit………Usually I would love the tigers as a dog with Bonderman pitching, but I am not going to pass up Halladay as a home favorite of less than -150. I have had plenty of luck with favorites this year, so I will try it again.

Dodgers -128 vs San Diego…………I am just not a big fan of David Wells for the Padres. It is all or nothing with this guy and more than likely it will be the nothing. I still think he gets too much credit based on his past. The past was about 30 lbs ago. Nice price for the Dodgers at home vs an over rated pitcher.


Pittsburgh -1.5 (+140) vs San Fran…………I have been on these bucs a good bit this year, and have been losing. They just cannot seem to get that hit when they need it. They are either going to lose again, or finally bust loose with the bats tonight, so that is why I am playing the runline. I did not want to lay the -151 on a straight bet as it breaks my rule of nothing over -150. I am hoping Barry Bonds coming back to town gets the home team pumped up. I know the fans will be. I am actually going to be in Pittsburgh tonight, but will not get there in time to see the game. We might go to the Saturday night game depending on the weather. Zach Duke seems to be pitching more like he did in his rookie year as well. I smell a blowout.


I am going to be out of town all weekend. I will not be home until Sunday night, so I will not be able to post anything from now until then.

Back on Monday. Good Luck Everybody!!
