Thur Eve Picks

[GoldVike]

First I've got to change that Avatar! The bag guy is driving ME nuts!! I better go to something where no one knows who I am because this weeks picks have not bee me for sure. I am staring at my first - win and units week on the board....yeccchhh! W =4 >>L - 7 @ -2.1U

YESTERDAY - A nice double star 4 unit hit on the Seat/Balt over!
A split on the two small dogs....loss on Pitt 2 unit one star and a crappy W/L on the rest with a couple freak losses on Expos no hitter to 8 and LOSE the game...Tor with the huge lead and fall apart...Pirates WALK in one run and thats it and still lose in 12 2-1...etc..!
MINN-120 - LOSE
STL-135 - LOSE
*PITT-135 - LOSE
(u)9.5 - WIN
SF-120 LOSE
NYY-139 WIN
TOR-105 LOSE
EXPO+120 LOSE
**SEAT/BALT (O)8.5 WIN
REDS+150- LOSE
BALT +170 -WIN

TONIGHT I WILL TAKE:

METS +120 (TRACHEL) >>Philly on a winning streak...Mets on a losing streak.....I'll take NY...Mets own series winning 2 both places (4-2 record). Padilla is NOT consistent this year in the least either! Trachel has been eerily very good.

SF +100 (NEW KID SORT OF) (POWELL) >> Giants have not lose 2 games in a row in like a year! Probably a good reason to take 1 loss Oliver and the heavy bats of the Rockies BUT the Giants are watching Arz carefully and are coming with their bats tonight!

REDS +150 (WILSON) - Wilson on 3 days rest has a great era and they have dumped 7 in a row. Get swept 4 games is tough. I'll try them for the price vs Villone who can be had. If Host scores early though....its probably over again! Small bet on this one.

BALT +180 (PONSON) >>Balt can score and Seatt can not. Ponson has been pitching well and Garcia up and down. Again a small bet but again love the price with a better than long shot to win.

RED SOX +100 (MENDOZA) >> Red Sox to outhit Lidle and Mendoza to outpitch Toronto.

NYY/CLEVE (O)9 -120 - I think Yanks stretch out a lead...may see middle relievers early in this one....and I always like an over in the AL with a team I think to lose getting the bats in the last of the ninth for extra run chances.

MINN -116 (REED) To avoid the sweep and embarrassment he has been their one bright spot. Missing Jaque Jones was never THIS bad!! Twins bats should be able to find the holes vs Thompson.

FINALLY!!
RANDALL SIMON +1 GAZILLION TO ONE TO WIN NL MVP THIS YEAR

Besides.....I heard his bat was corked!!! BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYBODY!! GOLDV

On you with your beloved Twinkies and SF. GL

[GoldVike]

They are getting very close to

MY EX-DEARLY BELOVED if they continue this crap. But it has been their trademark many times to tank right before and/or after the All Star game. THEN LOOK OUT! Remember this one. When they start to win 2 or 3 in a row again.....get on them every game for a two to three week stretch - ESPECIALLY ON A LONG HOME STRETCH. They also normally have some phenom like Septembers!! LETS BRING HOME THE THE TWINS AND OML'S TONIGHT THEN!! GoldV

Im on the same page as you. Hope baltimore can get the win the odds for this game are way to high for seattle!

GOOD LUCK GOLDVIKE

SAME TO YOU DEREK!

The Mariners right now are like CWS.....wayyyyyyyy too overpriced....if that offense EVER shows back up again....then maybe....I am a little leary about two in a row with O's winning last night but hell they sure can hit and Ponson has been on a roll! GOOD LUCK!!

I'm with you on alot of the plays but i think the line in Seattle is about right because Garcia has been very consistent in his last 8 starts going 6-1 and if you take out the 1 loss in his last start at Texas he only gave up 12 ER'S in the other 7 starts and coming off a loss last night i think Seattle is in a great spot tonight but that's why they call it gambling.:D :D GOOD LUCK GUYS
