Fading Schmidt again....

I also considered SF because I like fading the rediculous lines Dice K draws, but SF is just awful at 6-14 in their last 20 games, the worst in the NL, and while Cain is solid, their bullpen is ****.

Dice K sucks IMO, but the odds may be justified there just due to the fact that Boston is far superior in every other aspect of the game.

Also considered playing the Braves against the cold Tribe again, but with Smoltz being a ?, I decided to pass. If Smoltz were going along at 100%, that play would be a no brainer for me, but then again, if he were 100%, I'm guessing the Braves would be about -130.

May play some night games. There are a few i'm considering, but the card really isn't all that exciting to me today. I'm having a hard time finding any real value or big mismatches anywhere, other than the -180 A's over Cardinals line, in which I think the A's have a clear advantage, but -180 isn't my thing, lol

The Pirates look like great value just because they're a pretty big home dog against the pathetic White Sox, but backing Van Benschoten doesn't really do much for me either. He hasn't pitched in the majors since like 2004, so not much to go by for me, other than that the public is 85% on the horrible White Sox. Van Benschoten could be another Buddy Carlyle, who sucked ass like 2 years ago, went back to the minors and apparently worked things out, and may now be a solid MLB starter for all I know....but then again, he might just still suck, lol

Similar thoughts on SF, Braves & A's. SF is horrible, but Dice-K doesn't deserve that much respect. IMO Byrd could be a good fade, but the Braves are playing like crap too. IMO the A's rl +115 is solid again today- it's scary backing a team like the A's on the rl, but 5 of their last 6 wins have covered the rl as well & IMO DiNardo is going to be a stud. GL Stif, I'm ready for foots.....

gl today Stiff, with ya on the Halos....

in the ChiSox-Pitt game, yea the public is hitting them hard, but I am looking at the fact that Buehrle has been great in his last couple outing with the exception of the Yankee game, I just think Buehrle is trying to pitch himself out of Chicago and into a new contract, so Im expecting some pretty good starts out of him until the trade deadline... and I think maybe a rookie pitcher who is a righty might be the cure for the Chi Sox bats..Im hoping he just still sucks as for Vanbenschoten ...gl tonight with whatever you play

Lovin the schmidt fade, seems almost too easy though...

Decided I'm going to try these 3 dogs....

Pirates +130
Houston +103
Tampon Bay +126

2 units each

Going to back Van Benschoten, lol. I just think the White Sox have given up.

Baek wins games, but only because Seattle has been giving him a ton of runs. It seems their offense has come back to earth though, and Houston has actually been hitting decently their last few for a change.

And Hirsh just blows at Coors field. Basically i'm fading him and hoping this Sonnanstine clown for TB can give some good innings, because I'm fairly certain TB will get theirs.

nice call on the Angels there stiff, tailed ya to the bank on that one!
