UPDATE:..THURSDAY'S TOTAL'S PLAY OF THE DAY!



**TOP RATED TOTAL'S PLAY OF THE DAY ON:


Ariz/Pitt UNDER 9.5 -110 (WINNER!- only 8 Total Runs Scored!)


*Pitt
-Under is 6-3 in games following a win.
-Under is 6-3 games when the total is 9-9.5.
-Under is 3-1 in Road games when the total is 9-9.5
-Under is 2-0 in games played on Thursdays this year....and Under is 30-14 in their last 3 seasons when games were played on Thursdays.

*Zona:
-Under is 4-2 when total is 9-9.5.
-Under is 9-5 in Home games this year.
-Under is 4-1in Home games when the total is 9-9.5
-Under is 3-1 in games played in May so far.
-Under is 12-7 in night games this year.
-Under is 4-0 vs LHP's.
-Under is 9-2 when playing vs a team with a losing record.

Pitt on their 4 straight Road game so expect alittle slow down and fatigue could be setting in after they battled the Astro's to high scoring games the last 3...Plus, in Pitt previous last 3 Road games they all went Under the total.

Zona's last 4 of 6 games at Home went Under and their last 4 of 5 games went Under the Total...In addition, Zona's last 2 vs a Hot Giants team ended going Under.

Pitt, also ONLY 2-6 vs LHPs, averaging ONLY 2.9 rpg and ONLY hitting .223 vs them with a .306 OBP also.....In their 8 games vs LHPs, they have only 5 HRs, 21 RBI's, and 58 hits....Pitt's on the Road also only average just 3.6 rpg...and they have been struckout 108 times (avg of 7.7 times per game played on the Road).

Zona at Home averaging 5.6 rpg...but vs LHP's they are averaging just 2.7 rpg, and ONLY .198 hitting vs them....In their 4 games vs LHPs, they have 0 HRs and just 9 RBIs...while averaging alittle over 6 hits per game vs them.

One thing though is that the two BP's combined, at Home and on the Road, they together has 15 saves and just 3 blown saves...So this could be an indication that whomever has the lead going into the last innings, will possibly most likely come out the winner...This is another good stat for the Under..Other stats between the two...is that 7 of 12 games played the last 3 seasons have gone Under the Total...Also, both starters today have close Home to Road ERA's with Williams (3.86 Road ERA) and Zona's Estes (3.60 Home ERA)...Plus, both of them have solid WHIP stats with Williams 1.114 and Estes 1.150.....Lastly, Williams only start vs Zona went Under...While Estes 12 games vs Pitt went Under in 10 of the last 12 games he pitched against them...

With that said, take the UNDER 9.5 as a TOP RATED TOTAL'S PLAY OF THE DAY....GL and Aloha CC.

*COMP PLAY FOR ALOHA FRIDAY ON:



Chicago WS -102



-CWS 5-0 vs teams with winning records.
-CWS is 4-0 so far this month.
-CWS is 3-1 in games played on Friday.
-CWS is 13-4 in Night games.
-CWS is 7-1 after 3 or more consecutive wins.
-CWS is 10-4 on the Road.
-CWS is 16-4 vs RHPs, averaging 4.1 rpg and 5.0 rpg on the Road.
-CWS also have stolen 16 bases in their 14 games on the Road.
-CWS is 9-1 in game 1 of series.
-CWS BP recorded 13 saves and just 3 BSV...On the Road the BP has 5 saves to just 2 BSV.

-Toronto is 1-3 in games played on Friday.
-Toronto is 3-5 when playing a team with a winning record.
-Toronto's BP at Home has recorded just 2 saves and blown 3 saves.

CWS BP on the Road has a ERA of 2.23 overall...but in their last 3 games their ERA is a solid 1.59....Toronto's BP at Home has an ERA of 5.13...and in their last 3 games their ERA is 4.35.

CWS Hernandez takes the mound today...where he is 3-1 on the year with a 2.70 ERA in his 5 starts...The WS are 4-1 when he has started this year...and in his last 3 games he has gone 2-0 (Team 3-0) and has a solid ERA of just 2.00...And he has just given up a total of four earned runs in 18 innings in that time.

Toronto's sends the struggling Bush to the hill once more, where he is 0-3 on the year, in 5 starts...The B-Jays have also gone 0-5 in his last 5 starts as well...In Bush's last 3 games, he has a record of 0-2 with a whooping ERA of 5.82...Furthermore, Bush has also given up 6 HRs on the year in just 5 starts and this may not be good facing the 10th ranked team in total HRs so far this year...Also, Bush's inability to overpower hitters in the box, may come back to hurt him today as he only averages 2.6 strikeouts over his 5 starts this year..

I simply cannot go against this CWS team right now, as they continue to get it done with their speed, defense, and solid pitching...On the Road CWS defense is holding opponents to just 3.3 rpg and .222 average hitting at the plate...Toronto, meanwhile is not so tight, to vistors, as they allow an average of 5.8 rpg and .293 average at the plate...The CWS, pitching has led them to record an AL-leading 2.94 ERA...And their new aggressive style of play on the bases, has allowed them to win games and rank 3rd in SB's on the year with 27...All three aspects has helped them to win games like yesterdays 2-1 victory, where they only got 2 hits in the win....And, it has also allowed them to go 12-3, in one run games so far this year, as well.

Right now, Toronto has won 7 of their last 9 games and has taken 2 of 3 in the series from AL East leading Balt....But, Bush has never been the answer this year, and he wont be the answer again today....CWS comes in with the Leagues best Record of 21-7, but that wont do anything to make them look past this Toronto team, who went 4-3 vs them last season, including Sweeping them in Toronto, as well...Today, I have to fade Toronto's Bush and his 0-5 record in his 5 starts for the B-Jays...WSox should extend their winning streak to 6 games when this one is done...Go WSox!

Zona struggles vs LHPs...Pitt has struggled vs RHPs this year...Today they will be facing Zona's Vazquez who has been able to turn things around of late...going 3-0 in his last 3 starts and with an ERA of 1.50 and a WHIP of .958...Solid!...Also, 4 of Vazquez's last 6 starts has also gone Under the total...and he is also ranked 6th in the NL in strikeouts with 36 K's, while only allowing just 8 walks, all in alittle over 37 innings on the hill....Good, no freebies!

Also helping this one stay Under, is the recent low batting averages in the last 10 games played...Pitt's L 10 games vs RHP is hitting .218 and overall .234....Zona's L 10 games vs LHPs is hitting .229 and overall .211.

Lastly, Pitt's BP their last 3 games has an ERA of 3.32...They also have recorded an overall 10 saves to only 1 bsv on the year...and in Road games they recorded 7 saves with no blown saves...While Zona's BP their last 3 games has an ERA of 2.81...and they have recorded 13 saves to 5 blown saves on the year...and 8 saves and just 3 bsv in games at played at Home....Combined, they have a save record of 23 and 6 overall...and based on Home/Away they have a combined record of 15 saves and just 3 blown saves...This solid save record by both teams, could help again like it did in keeping this one Under, with preventing any late inning comebacks and extra runs to come in..

"BIG GAME PLAY"--GAME OF THE WEEK:




CHICAGO WSOX -126



Today, the Major League leading CWS face the B-Jays of Toronto in GM 2 of their 3 game series in Toronto....Leading the way for the 22-7 CWS is Jon Garland, a righty who has been practically unhittable in his last 5 starts, where he has gone 5-0 and has a 1.38 ERA overall...Today's game is on the Road, where Garland is 3-0 with a 1.57 ERA....In his last 3 games pitched, Garland went 3-0 and has a Unbelievable .35 ERA....WOW!

Garland is part of this shutdown CWS pitching staff whose starters so far this year has a 17-3 record and a Major League best 2.79 ERA....The CWS pitching staff also is ranked 2nd in hits allowed overall...2nd in WHIP with a 1.16 avg...and also their BP ranks 1st in the league with 14 saves so far on the year...This solid shutdown pitching from the WS starters has allowed them to hold a lead in all of their 29 games played this year....Unreal!

Garland, in his 5 games, has allowed just 6 ERs, 25 hits, 6 walks, 1 HR, and striked out 17 batter, in alittle over 39 innings on the hill...Garland currently is coming into this game with 23 consecutive scoreless innings...Including pitching back to back 4 hitters, that includes an 8-0 win over Detriot and a 6-0 win over Oaktown...Vs Toronto Garland has a lifetime 5-1 record with an 2.63 ERA against them...and the CWS went 6-2 in his last 8 starts vs the B-Jays..

The B-Jays sends RHP Lilly to the hill today to face Garland and the Hot CWS team....So far this year he has a record of 1-2 in his 5 starts, with an ERA of 7.77...In Lilly's last 3 starts, he has gone 1-1 and his ERA has gone to a Whopping 10.68 over this span...In just 24 innings on the hill this year, Lilly has allowed 34 hits and 21 ERs..and hasnt gone past 4 innings yets this year...Not Good!...Vs the CWS in his career, he has a 3-1 record with a 6.03 ERA, and his team has gone 5-1 when he started against them...Still, it is in his last 3 starts of late Lilly has totally lit up and his whopping ERA of 10.67 clearly shows this...In his last start against the struggling Yankees, he was smacked for 6 ERs on 8 hits in 5 innings on the hill.....Toronto, however ended up winning there last two games which he started in..

Lilly was said to have missed most of spring training with tendinitis in his shoulder...and that is why he has not gone deep into a game, which the coaching staff of Toronto fell he can...I totally disagree with that...Lilly, I feel was good at one time in his young career, but like most athletes after they suffer an injury, they simply are not the same after that...Lilly to me so far, is going downhill not up...and his numbers vs teams also on the decline proves this...

Garland, on the other hand, along with his other pitching mates has been almost a gang of resurrected players...What gives the CWS an advantage here is that Garland has and can go deep into the game...which have been paying off alot of divendends for them achieving what they have so far and so fast this year...Also helping to secure and close out games securing wins for them...has been the solid play of the WSox's BP...In their last 3 games their BP has an ERA of 1.69...Whereas, the B-Jays BP their last 3 games has an ERA of 4.15...CWS BP on the Road has been getting it done as well..as they have a 2.23 Road ERA and has also recorded 6 saves to just 2 blown saves...In total, the WSox's BP has a recorded 14 saves on the year with only 3 blown save...and this total saves rank them 1st in the Majors...Toronto's BP cant say the same for them with their 5.13 Home ERA, while also only recording 2 saves at Home while blowing 3...If this one goes to the BP early, as I expect it to today...it could end in a romp as this Toronto BP has allowed a high 48 hits in just 36.3 innings....Not good vs this WSox teeam who may have found their stroke of late...

The WSox's will face another LHP in Lilly, where they have found alot of success against this year going 5-3...and averaging 5.2 rpg vs them....This stat goes well also because the WSox's are on the Road where they have also averaged 5 rpg...while their defense has been able to hold opponents to just 3.3 rpg and .222 hitting at the plate...Some other stats for the WSox's vs LHPs is that they are hitting .293 Overall vs them.....290 in Road games vs them, and are averaging their highest average of .299 vs LHPs in their last 10 games played....Toronto vs RHP's have averaged .268 overall vs them, .272 at Home and in their last 10 games vs RHPs..

Toronto has the overall higher batting average than the WSox's...and they also have scored 11 more runs, 12 more RBI's, and 38 more hits than the WSox's hitters totaled so far this year....But, it is their pitching and inability to close out games, especially at Home where they are only 5-6 on the year...that will be their achilles heal of late....Still, Toronto in Lilly's last two games has still be able to overcome his poor starts to come back a get wins over the Yankees and TB...In these two last starts of Lilly...he went only 11 innings combined, giving up 17 hits, 11 ERs, and 3 HRs...but the B-Jays were still able to pull out wins of 7 to 5 and 8 to 6....Well, I dont expect that to happen again vs this WSox team, and especially if Lilly gets lit up again, allowing a shit load of runs early in the game...which I do see him doing again..

Why shouldnt I expect this one to be another slug fest like the other two games where Lilly started? Because, that was the WSox's of the past, not the one of the present...Plus, I feel that both of these teams are heading in the opposite directions..as Toronto looks to be heading back into a slump, after they went on a tear winning 7 out of 8 games, before this current two game slide of late...A sign that this maybe happening is their lack of offense at the plate, only scoring just 4 runs in their last 3 games...And yesterday, the B-Jays could only manage just 3 hits over the final 7 innings, and a total of 17 hits and 4 runs in their last 3 games played....

The CWS, on the other hand, has gone through times of struggles at the plate with some of their players who are very important to their offense...ie, Konerko who was hitless in his last 26 at bats, before ending that last night with an 8th inning single....And Pierzynski, who entered 2 for 29, before hitting a 2 run go ahead single which scoring two to take the 5-3 lead and win...Also, in last nights game everyone in the lineup, except DH Everett recorded one hit last night...All this following their last 2-1 win over KC where they only had 2 hits total..

The main reason for why the WSox's could still keep the wins coming in and also in very close fashion, where they won12 of 15 one run games they played...is due to the WSox's putting more emphasis on other aspects of the game instead of just at the plate...They put emphasis on their pitching, they are utilizing their speed on the bases where they have stolen 30 bases this year, which ranks 2nd in the Majors...19 of these Stolen bases have come in Road games, 3 of them came in last nights game... The WSox's are playing more fundamentals, situational-type of games...and doing all the little stuff, along with their very good pitching...has helped them to win games in many different ways for them..

But, the WSox's are still one of the top longball hitting teams just like the past years...and currently rank 10th in the league in total HRs so far this year...Timo Perez gets the start tonight for CF Rowand...and the WSox's are 8-1 when he is in the starting lineup.


*SOME STATS, TRENDS, AND INFO FAVORING THE WSOX'S TONIGHT:

-CWS is 6-0 vs teams with winning records.
-CWS is 5-0 so far this month.
-CWS is 4-0 in games played on Saturdays
-CWS is 8-3 in games played in the day
-CWS is 8-1 after 3 or more consecutive wins.
-CWS is 11-4 on the Road.
-CWS is 3-1 on Artificial turf.
-CWS is 10-4 when game total is 9-9.5
-CWS is 5-3 vs LHPs.
-CWS also have stolen 19 bases in their 15 games on the Road.
-CWS is 8-1 in game 2 of series.
-CWS BP recorded 14 saves and just 3 BSV...On the Road the BP has 6 saves to just 2 BSV.

-Toronto is 3-6 when playing a team with a winning record.
-Toronto's BP at Home has recorded just 2 saves and blown 3 saves.


I simply cannot go against this CWS team right now, as they continue to get it done with their speed, defense, and solid pitching...On the Road CWS defense is holding opponents to just 3.3 rpg and .222 average hitting at the plate...Toronto, meanwhile is not so tight, to vistors, as they allow an average of 5.8 rpg and .293 average at the plate...The CWS, pitching has led them to record an AL-leading 2.94 ERA...And their new aggressive style of play on the bases, has allowed them to win games and rank 2nd in SB's on the year with 30...All three aspects has helped them to win games like yesterdays 5-3 victory, where they two of their offensive weapons in Konerko and Pierzynski has broken out of their bad slumps to help get last nights win...Add in the WSox's offense providing support to their solid pitching staff and you got one team who can go very far....They already have the leagues best Record of 22-7, but this WSox team is lacking the notiriety and respect that they feel they deserve, which the last place Yankees and Boston Red Sox are getting, and this just adds more fuel to their fire to keep things rolling strong...

These are the new WSox's who are not doing it like the old WSox use to do..but their new style of ball is working so why buck it...Pitching, Defense, aggressive base running, small ball, and playing with a chip on their shoulder for lack of respect, is what makes them go...WSox's have now led in all 29 games so far this season...Unreal...Tonight behind Garland, they will record win 23 and also get one game closer to paying back this B-Jay team who swept them in Toronto last season.....Today, take the CHICAGO WSOX -126 as a "BIG GAME PLAY"--GAME OF THE WEEK selection....GL and Aloha CC.

But, the WSox's are still one of the top longball hitting teams just like the past years...and currently rank 10th in the league in total HRs so far this year...Timo Perez gets the start tonight for CF Rowand...and the WSox's are 8-1 when he is in the starting lineup.


*SOME STATS, TRENDS, AND INFO FAVORING THE WSOX'S TONIGHT:

-CWS is 6-0 vs teams with winning records.
-CWS is 5-0 so far this month.
-CWS is 4-0 in games played on Saturdays
-CWS is 8-3 in games played in the day
-CWS is 8-1 after 3 or more consecutive wins.
-CWS is 11-4 on the Road.
-CWS is 3-1 on Artificial turf.
-CWS is 10-4 when game total is 9-9.5
-CWS is 5-3 vs LHPs.
-CWS also have stolen 19 bases in their 15 games on the Road.
-CWS is 8-1 in game 2 of series.
-CWS BP recorded 14 saves and just 3 BSV...On the Road the BP has 6 saves to just 2 BSV.

-Toronto is 3-6 when playing a team with a winning record.
-Toronto's BP at Home has recorded just 2 saves and blown 3 saves.


I simply cannot go against this CWS team right now, as they continue to get it done with their speed, defense, and solid pitching...On the Road CWS defense is holding opponents to just 3.3 rpg and .222 average hitting at the plate...Toronto, meanwhile is not so tight, to vistors, as they allow an average of 5.8 rpg and .293 average at the plate...The CWS, pitching has led them to record an AL-leading 2.94 ERA...And their new aggressive style of play on the bases, has allowed them to win games and rank 2nd in SB's on the year with 30...All three aspects has helped them to win games like yesterdays 5-3 victory, where they two of their offensive weapons in Konerko and Pierzynski has broken out of their bad slumps to help get last nights win...Add in the WSox's offense providing support to their solid pitching staff and you got one team who can go very far....They already have the leagues best Record of 22-7, but this WSox team is lacking the notiriety and respect that they feel they deserve, which the last place Yankees and Boston Red Sox are getting, and this just adds more fuel to their fire to keep things rolling strong...

These are the new WSox's who are not doing it like the old WSox use to do..but their new style of ball is working so why buck it...Pitching, Defense, aggressive base running, small ball, and playing with a chip on their shoulder for lack of respect, is what makes them go...WSox's have now led in all 29 games so far this season...Unreal...Tonight behind Garland, they will record win 23 and also get one game closer to paying back this B-Jay team who swept them in Toronto last season.....Today, take the CHICAGO WSOX -126 as a "BIG GAME PLAY"--GAME OF THE WEEK selection....GL and Aloha CC.

Result of BGP-GOW: EZ 10-7 WINNER!

================================================== =================================


FYI:


Gang....now was that a Sweet EZ "BIG GAME PLAY"-WINNER or what.....I will say it again to everyone, my "BIG GAME PLAYS" are my Best Plays I have bar none..and they have simply shown again why they are Second to None in All Major Sports combined...as they continue to hit Over 70% Winners, since 2003, and all Documented at Cover*, **, and now here at Bettorschats.


No need to wonder about these plays and no need to worry either....I put in alot of my time, energy, and experience to qualifying them into my "BGP" category which is no simple thing to do at all...These are Special Plays and the Write-Ups and Big Game Analysis I provide with them show how Special and Second to None they really are...I have yet to see someone provide or back up their work as much as I do....Most just post a play and tag it with a Big Label , which means absolutely nothing, just like the value and worth of their play.


For many of you out there, who are wondering, who is a real Sports Handicapper, like they say they are...and who is just playing one at these forums....Well, just look at the work I provided with all of my Best Plays and you should get your answer to that...I dont like getting labeled with the rest of these Fuck Heads out there just because there's a fee involved with my plays....Hey, nothing is Free...but, I can guarantee you that no one will provide such an Indepth Investment Report like I always provide with all of my "BIG GAME PLAYS" I release to each and every smart sports investors..


Quality, Value, and Success are what my "BGP's" are known by...So you can be sure that I will continue promoting and maintaining this to the Best of my abilities....All the Proof you need is in the Pudding...Just see above and get it.


Anyways, if any of you want to Rock-N-Roll with me in the Bases, until Football Season comes rolling around again....Just give me a holla and we will get right to a plan on Building Up that Bankroll for the Gridiron ....Aloha CC.

*COMP PLAY FOR SUPER SATURDAY ON:


Atlanta -134


-With the Braves avg 6.4 rpg and .281 vs LHPs...and with Houston 1-12 Rec on the Road..avg just 2.9 rpg and .208 vs LHP...I cannot see them changing this in any drastic way against this Brave team thats on a roll.

Pettitte is undefeated vs the Braves at 4-0, but the way Atlanta players are seeing and hitting the ball, as well as, how their defense at Home is holding opponents to a 3.7 rpg avg...I really like that combination to be able to support Ramirez and take out Pettitte enough to get another win...Hard to go any other way, especially as the Braves have already posted 19 hits and 14 ERs, the last two games vs Houston's Backe and Oswalt...Today they get the complete sweep..... Pettitte gets Tamahawk Chopped then Scalped Baby!

[Co-Captain]

FYI:


Aloha Gang...well me and my clients are having a Solid Day today, which was of course Highlighted by Hitting my "BIG GAME PLAY"-GAME OF THE WEEK ....an EZ Winner on CWS ov Toronto...Sweet!....My other MLB plays are also currently 5W-2L so far with one game still pending, and the Braves look to be on their way to getting the Sweep just like I thought they would..


Pettitte gave up 7 hits and got scalped for 3 of the Braves 4 runs so far...Without an offense to back him or of the other starters up they are going to be trouble for the next few games...And it could last even longer depending on how long it takes Berkman to get back into last years form...and how long Bags will be hampered by his shoulder inj...Until both of these guys are carrying their own weight at the plate, I would advise not playing the Astros, even at Home...They do have solid Pitching, but they have shown for the 2nd time in only 3 days to not be enough, and especially on the Road..

Fade the Stros in this Road swing of theirs as they get the Braves for one more game, then its on to Florida, where the Marlins are running Hot on the mound and at the plate also...Fade Fade Fade the Astros....Only way to go, until they get back Home..and that is not till after 4 more games on the wicked Road.




*LAST COMP PLAY FOR SUPER SATURDAY ON:



Angels/Det UNDER 8 -104



-i have a shit load of stats and trends all pointing to the Under in this one...But, I will just list these info for you..as being more of a deciding factor for this game...The UNDER is 5-1 in all of Detroits games played this month...and the UNDER is 5-0 in all of the Angels games this month as well..

In Detroits last 9 games, 8 of them ended going UNDER the total...and their last 5 games went UNDER, as they only averaged 2.5 rpg during this span.

In the Angels last 9 games, the UNDER also was the result in 8 of them...and the last 6 straight games were UNDER, which the Angels were 5-1, but have only averaged scoring in this span 4 rpg, but they did also hold opponents to just 2 rpg in this span as well...Overall the Angels at Home is holding opponents to an average of just 3.6 rpg and .245 hitting at the plate....Detroit is in an offensive funk of late and vs the Angels Colon, it will wont be that easy to get of..

Det's Bonderman and the Angels Colon are having solid seasons so far and they should be able to keep eachothers hitters at bay...as both are having seasons with the same 4-2 records...

Lastly, the UNDER is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings betwen the two...Tonight, we make it 5-1 for the Under....GL and See ya all tomorrow, with more Comps to come....Aloha CC.

Currently my Comp Plays have a 13W-8L= 62% Record, the last 21 Comp Plays posted....Yesterday's Comps missed the Sweep, but did end going 2W-1L on the day...And my last Two Comps w/ shortened Write-Ups were solid Top Rated Plays, straight off my Night Set of plays, which went 2-0 for all who got on them..



Today's Comp Plays coming up shortly, still putting it together.....Its looking like I will be recording my 4th Consecutive Winning Week & Weekend in MLB & NBA combined for me and and all my clients....So a heads up to everyone to get ready for Week 5 Battles coming up vs the Man...He's pissed, but Fuck Him...I am going to stick to my Goal of, "Kickin the Man's Ass and Takin His Cash". :uzi:

**TOP RATED UNDERDOG PLAY OF THE DAY ON:



La Dodgers +106


-One win based on 1 six run inning and now the Reds deserve to be a favorite....I dont think so...At least not until they prove to be back to their potential winning ways...But its still early and one win after 8 straight losses is not convincing to me just yet...Lowe has been pitching well on the year and was up on the Reds until 6 innings with a 3-0 lead, but he was tagged for 6 ER's with 2 coming off of a HR by Cincy's Kearns...It was the 1st time he faced Cincy in his career, but today Weaver isnt a virgin against this Reds team and he has been very successful against them in his career posting a 3-1 record against them..and the Dodgers are 4-1 when he started against the Reds.

The Dodgers have played 15 road games so far this year and are averaging 6.1rpg, batting .285 at the plate, and .357 OBP...Solid!....Vs LHPs this year, they are 6-1, averaging a solid 7.3 rpg against them, hitting .294 at the plate, and .357 OBP vs them....Outstanding!....In fact, vs 7 LHPs this year, they are averaging alittle over 10 hits per game, lauched 9 HRs, slapped 30 extra base hits (avg of 4.3 pg), and average 7 RBI's vs them....Again very Solid!

Cincy vs RHP this year have a poor 6-15 record, average 4.6 rpg, and hit a low .241 at the plate against them...Not to good, especially since their defense also has been abit porous at Home where they allow opponents to average 6 rpg and hit .292 at the plate....In fact, the Reds in all of their games overall has been allowing opponents 5.8 rpg, .296 batting average, and .357 OBP....Hmmm, seems made to order and a perfect match for the Dodgers averages, wouldnt you say.

Weaver for the Dodgers takes the hill today...and the first thing I saw that was good, was that he has only given up 2 HRs in his 9 starts so far this year...This is important because, Cincy's Great American Ball Park, is a hitters ballpark...and we dont need to give them Reds any more help...Second thing I liked with Weaver, as compared to Milton was that he has already faced this Cincy team 5 times in his young career and he has found alot of success against them...And lastly, he has not letting batters on base with walks...This year Weaver has only allowed 7 walks in his 9 starts, and only 2 in his last 2 Road starts....Very Good!

Cincy's Milton, on the other hand, is not so tight when it comes to giving away the Long Bombs...So far this year he has given up 11 Bombs in his 6 starts, the most of any pitcher in the Majors, and 6 of them coming in his last 3 starts...His complete stats in his last 3 starts, he has a 6.75 ERA, given up 12 ERs, allowed 21 hits, only struck out 8, and handed out 6 HRs, all in just 16 innings on the hill...This is not good news for the Reds, because the Dodgers are ranked 5th in the league in HRs with 34, 4th in the league in Runs, 5th in the league in RBI's, 3rd in the league in OBP at .353, and 3rd in the league in SLG at .441...And, Dodgers Kent and Choi, has already combined for 3 HRs and 8 RBI's in the last two games already...In total for the last two vs Cincy...LA has 4 HRs, 22 hits, scored 16 runs, and now they face the leagues Santa Claus of Home Runs...Love it!

In his career vs the Reds, Weaver has a 3-1 record in his 5 starts with a ERA of 3.45...Milton is 1-0 vs LA with 5.07 ERA and a poor 2.257 OBP...and this was last seasons stats when he was with the Phillies...Today, different team but no BP to back his ass up.

*Some more Stats, Trends, and Info backing the Dodgers up today..

-LA 5-3 their last 8 games on the Road when the total was 10-10.5
-LA is 3-1 in game played on Sunday.
-LA is 13-8 in Night games.
-LA is 8-5 when playing teams with losing records.
-LA is 6-1 vs LHPs.
-LA is ranked 5th in saves with 10 on the year.
-LA is ranked 8th in WHIP with 1.30
-LA is 3rd in least walks allowed.

-Cincy is 1-5 this month.
-Cincy is 4-12 in Night games.
-Cincy is 6-15 vs RHPs.
-Cincy is 4-6 after a win.
-Cincy is 4-8 playing teams with winning records.
-Cincy just 1-5 in their last 6 Home games.
-Cincy's BP in just 17 innings has an ERA of 6.23.
-Cincy is near the bottom in Hits allowed, ERA, K's, and WHIP in the league.

Today it will be pitching and the hitting which will give the Dodgers a win and the series victory over the Reds...Go Dodgers!...GL and Aloha CC.

*COMP PLAY FOR "BIG MONDAY" ON:




**TOP RATED PLAY OF THE DAY:




Florida -150



Yes the Rocket has pitched like the Rocket...but be careful, because just like Atlanta, Florida has been on a roll of late...Yesterday, was not their best as Leiter is not one of their best...but the others are very very lights out...including Burnett.

One thing to be concerned about is the fact that in this sport...Yes most times it starts with the pitcher..but, these pitchers needs to be backed up with offense...if not, then it most times will be all for shit.

Now Houston is on a bad terrible losing streak...and there is a reason for this...The Road Smoad theory..has something to do with it..buuuuuut, not so much as one would think...I just think it worsens what already is existing because they are away from the comforts or home...This is something every team feels when away from home sweet home..But, only the strong and confident teams can overcome it...and in this game, confidence is contagious and so is the lack of it.

Sometimes teams/players, especially in baseball are very reliant and dependant, or should I say influenced, on each other or by each other, or even by one players performance...And most times they will look to them to get out of a funk, etc...What I mean is, they need someone to get everyone going, riding their confidence to win games....If they dont have it, then it affects eachother especially one like the Astros, who btw has lost alot of their identity and studs from last years playoff team...So I am feeling that they are in a psychological funk at the moment and this is creating a physical and mental funk as well..and that is why they are losing right now.

Now this can be attributed to several reasons...One, was the fact that last season they depended or fed off of the all=star pitching staff to get them to the playoffs...That part of their game added some umph to their already existing solid offense at the plate...However, this year that offense is either gone or hurt...ie, Beltran gone, Kent gone, and that other guy (cant remember his name)...Bags hurt, and Berkman coming back from injury...and eventhough this is a good thing for the confidence of the rest of the team...as he led them in almost every hitting category last season...It will still take time for him to catch up and jell to the speed, timing, etc of the game...So basically he is rusty and will need to get his swings in inorder to get it back...This is just his second game back..Well that is not enough time just yet.

This teams mojo does not come from the pitching staff...Oh hell no...Rogers, Pettitte, and Oswalt are very good..but those guys are loners and not leaders on this team...Their like FG Kickers in football..they are important, but it is the other stud in the trenches and on the defense that makes a team shift into its high gears, if you know what I mean..

Houston's mojo comes from their aging studs at the plate...and that has always been their identity and where others look upon and feed off of...Now it's gone because the studs are either gone or hurt, as mentioned...And those pitchers, eventhough good...cannot carry the team...And, when the team cant back them pitchers up...guess what happens next?

Thats right, the pitchers will start to fade..not much for guys like Clemens, but enough to be off and give their opponents an advantage....Florida is one team who you dont want to give this to....Remember, pitchers are very testy about their records and when they dont get the support, when they are pitching good and dont get the wins on their records when they should of...They get affected by it as well...Thats when they start to blame and finger point..which then makes it all worse and shit hits the fan.

Well, I think the shit has hit the fan..with the Astros ..and it wont get any better until someone on that team, meaning one of their aging stars vets..gets back to hitting again...Until then, they are not worth risking money on, and even with + money on their hall of fame pitcher.

The Astros, are a walking, talking, hitting wounded Zombies right now, as Berkman put it...and their pitchers will not be able to carry them through it...It will take someone to get them back into a frenzy...and I guess with Bags hurting now...they will just have to wait to Berkman can carry them on his back again, just like last season...So far though, Berkman hitting .143 in his first two games (7 at bats and 1 hit)...

Now on to more Facts....In Clemons 6 games he started, his ERA is 1.29 (2nd Best in the Majors)..WHIP 0.952 (6th best in the Majors)..44 K's (5th most in Majors)...and he averages 7+ innings per start...However, in his 6 starts this year..the Astros are 1-5....This is despite the fact that he has allowed only five runs on 22 hits in 35 innings of work in the last five outings...Unreal!

In his last 3 starts, his ERA is 2.14..but he is 0-1 and the Astros went 0-3....And this next one is very mindboggling to say the least...In his last 2 Road starts, his ERA is a Whopping 0.00 and his WHIP is .786...but yet the Astros went 0-2....Un-Freakin-Believable! ...If this doesnt convince you that something is definately seriously wrong with this Astro team..and something that wont be changed after one or two wins...then you are a true believer or just hot-up Rocket fan..lol.

Well maybe these will help back up the Fade Astros Fast feeling.....

-The Astros are already 0-5 this year when they were a Road Dog of +125 to +150.
-Astros also averaging just 3.0 rpg on the Road and hitting just .204 at the plate
-Astros in 15 Road games have just 6 HRs...and their lineup has struck-out an average of 7.2 per game...and they have only been able to get on base via walks an avg of 2.9 times per game...And, lastly, in 15 Road games they have only averaged just 7 hits per game.
The Astros have managed only nine runs in Clemens' six starts -- and he drove in two of them himself in his only win
-Also, Houstons BP is 2-8 on the year overall....and has a 0-5 Road record, 0 saves and 2 blown saves.
-Houstons BP on the Road has a 4.04 ERA....Florida's BP at Home has a ERA of 1.13.
-Florida also hitting .280 at the plate and .348 OBP...allowing opponents 2.5 rpg, .208 hitting, and .278 OBP...hmm, perfect fit for the Astro.
-Burnett, who has a 2.27 ERA, has not allowed more than three earned runs in any of his six starts and has two complete games to his credit already
-Burnett has averaged nearly 10 strikeouts in his last three starts, including a 13-K effort on April 22 against Cincinnati
-Burnett is one of the hardest throwers in baseball with opponents hitting just .239 against him


Sidenote: Atlanta outscored Houston 38-8 in the series for its first four-game sweep... If not for Orlando Palmeiro's infield single with two outs in the ninth, the Braves' 17 hits Sunday would have equaled the Astros' total for the four-game series....The Astros finished the series with 18 hits and were outscored 38-8.
-This year, only the Pirates have scored fewer runs than Houston in the NL, and every team in the league has hit more than the 17 home runs the Astros have managed.


Only 1 Killer Bee has any sting overall this and that is Biggio...But, without the other two B's it aint going to work.

Successful Equation: C (Clemons) + B (Bags) + B (Berkman) + B (Biggio)= Win (most times)!

Today's Equation: C (Clemons) + B (Biggio)+ at Florida = LOSE AGAIN! .....(Bags out and Berkman not 100%)

Remember Gang...last years Astro's team that went the deepest it has ever been in the playoffs..did it with a late season trade for Beltran...Plus, they also had Jeff Kent, who btw is 2nd in the NL in RBI's, 3rd in NL in HRs, 5th in NL is most walks, and 1st in NL in runs so far on the year...They are now gone...Not the same team as last year, you need to remember this...Plus, one reason for them even making it to the playoffs and going deeper than they ever went, was due to the acquisition of Beltran, as he went Off.

They dont have that help and their current offensive stars is either hurt, to old, or coming back from inj...Simply not a good time for Astro fans and not a good time to back the great Clemons...Sad Day for sure as I cant even take what would be a Fucking Gift getting Clemons at +140...But, just cant risk it, IMO...Its proven above that he is not enough to win the game...

The Marlins and Astros split 6 games against each other last season....But, along with the things posted above that are affecting the Astros, the Marlins dont care because it wasnt the Astros who had to sit home last season and watch the playoffs on TV....Florida should be focused to take out the Astros and keep things rolling behind the best starting rotation in the league, making it to the playoffs this time around...Taking out the Astros keeps them in pace with the Braves, Dodgers, and Cards as the drivers for the NL best.
GL whatever way you end up chosing to go, but for me...its all about the Fish Baby!...Go Marlins!...Aloha CC.
