MLB Monday 8/20

ytd 439-441 (+48.35 units)

St Louis +128

2 units

Not a big Pineiro fan, but he's been better lately. The reason for my play, however, is because I like the spot the Cards are in to succeed today.....if they even play.

Nice start for the Cards... GL today

[Stifler's Mom]

Thanks. Hope the Cards can keep it going....

Tampon Bay/Boston under 9 -130

Tampon Bay has never been able to hit Wakefield, and Kazmir has been all but unbelievable for over a month now, including shutting Boston down twice already. You'd think both guys would have to get hit around here for this to go over, as I doubt either one is gonna give up 7+ runs, and I don't see them both getting beaten up on.

Twins -150

There may not be a bigger pitching mismatch at under -250 or -300 for the rest of the season. Ramirez just blows, and no one has done **** off Garza yet. The Seattle offense keeps this one under -200, so I'll take my chances on the huge pitching mismatch alone.

2 units each

I'm actually considering the ****ty Brewers tonight. I mean yes, they suck, but they can't lose every single game, lol, and as a dog, they may be worth a play tonight IMO. Still pondering that one.

I agree. Tampa being favored over Boston is a joke....anytime, anyplace. And on top of it, they are like 2-18 lifetime against Wakefield and 0-8 against him at home. They score only like 2 runs per game on average when they face Wake.

Kazmir has been dominant too though, so it's hard to pick a side when both are juiced, even if slightly. But if i had to take a side, it would without a doubt be Boston.

For those reasons, I chose to take the under.....although I know it looks like one of those spots where the under looks too obvious, and someone is going to explode on the other pitcher and it's gonna be an 11-2 type game

That's definitely why....but I agree with Stif...no way I could pick a side in that one, so the under seemed like the strongest play IMO...although I would be on Kazmir at home if I was forced to...GL!
