4-0 and +444.81 brings the season to 19-11 and +1,214.01 for our $100 player. It would be tempting to go nuts on a 10-0 hot streak, but let's remain where we are with the units and continue playing a flat unit on each pick. One of the beauties of baseball is that it is still early in the season with a long way to go to October, with action almost every day. No other sport offers the same opportunities.
**********
Phillies (Padilla) Expos (Day) UNDER 8.5, -120
The Expos are stone cold at the plate and Day is in the kind of form that will make it tough on the light hitting Phillies to put up much either. Brian Gorman behind the plate with a 2-1 strikeout to walk ratio. It works.
Cardinals (Suppan) Brewers (Sheets) UNDER 9.5, -120
Cold bats, one respectable starter and one stud coupled with Fletcher Martin behind the plate, works again.
Braves (Thomson) Marlins (Willis) UNDER 8, -124
Thomson is in good shape, Willis in superb shape, both teams down a little in the offense and Fletcher Andrews behind the plate really works.
INDIANS (WESTBROOK) +115 at Tigers (Johnson)
Jake Westbrook did his darndest to cost us one the other night, relieving D'Amico and going 7 innings without putting a man on, 0 hits, 0 walks and 7 k's. I noted last week that all ALCentral dogs will be dangerous versus each other and since the Tigers won for us yesterday as a short favorite, I like the Indians to avoid the sweep with Westbrook getting his chance to start.
ORIOLES (PONSON) +103 over Blue Jays (Halladay)
There is a lot of Halladay's Cy Young Award built into this line. I love the guy myself and believe he will recoup and make us a few bucks yet this season, but it is not yet the time. At this point the Jay's still can't hit a lick and Ponson himself is due to turn it up a notch at home. False favorite, take the odds.
************
Also on the subject of memory. Some guys doing very well on the bases this early in the season. That's fine and I am glad the good folks here are receiiving some nice free winners. Regarding August, September and October for the past few years, who was around then?
Good luck,
Chris
