Thursday
Yesterday’s total was a loser after Milwaukee tacked on 4 runs in the 8th. Two more ugly plays today in an effort to stop the bleeding: Seattle and Houston both +104
Wednesday
No sides today but a rare indoor total, Baltimore/Milwaukee UNDER 8
Thunder Dome
I like the Thunder tonight -2.5 (-105) vs the Spurs to tie things up 2-2 in the series. Also made a speculative play at Thunder +536 to win the series when down 0-2……but they got Ibaka back. He’s the difference, because he can actually guard Duncan 1v1 (Perkins is OK individual defender, but he’s mostly a great “plug” team defender).
I just have this feeling that Durant and James are going to meet again, and I’ll be giddy for it all as I have the Heat pre-season to win the title, and I’ll get some freeroll action like I did last weekend in the UEFA Champions League Final when Real Madrid beat Putty’s Atletico (I would have posted the amount of stuff I bet to hedge on here last Saturday, but I am afraid I would have broke the site and drowned out all of the content Lou has posted. I also think at one point a “Real to win at -170 and Blackhawks/Kings Under” parlay may have happened. It was that degenerate).
I’ll be in Vegas next week for the WSOP and will be posting UFC and World Cup thoughts.
I’ll leave you with this nugget for Pat Darts and the NY Rangers:
Rangers advance to Stanley Cup Finals with win tonight. They last advanced on this date in 1994 on 2-OT goal by Stephane Matteau

Tuesday
Nothing doing yesterday and we lost spectacularly Sunday picking against Josh Beckett’s no hitter. An ugly game for us later tonight: Seattle (Elias) +116
Sunday Funday
Leaner on Pittsburgh last night was good. One play today and that’s Pittsburgh -103. Tampa is an option for anyone who wants to fade the Res Sox but I am passing since I don’t have time today to dig into the lineups and pitchers a bit more.
Saturday
Single play early today Oakland (Chavez) @ Toronto (Dickey) -101
UPDATE: Toronto was a relatively easy winner. Leaner and probably a pass on Pittsburgh because of the low total. Strasburg and Cole in that one.
Friday
Nothing again today. Lots of home favorites and accurate totals. Pitsburgh is the best of a non playable bunch.
Thursday
No plays yesterday and none again today. I missed Tampa with their 4pm start because I was doing actual work. It’s currently tied 0-0 and Tampa closed as a small favorite but would have been a play nonetheless. Lean on the Natinals/Pirates under 7.5. Will do better tomorrow, mostly because there are no day games.
Wednesday
1-1 yesterday for a small profit. We missed the day games and a lean on the Indians who won a ridiculous game today in the series finale against Detroit. Only leans and no plays tonight with Pittsburgh and Boston/Toronto under the best of the bunch. More tomorrow.
Tuesday
2-0 yesterday and hoping for the same today with a pair of Rookie starters against some well-known opposition.
Dodgers (Beckett) @ Mets (Montero) +121
Tigers (Verlander) @ Indians (Bauer) +114
I was tempted by Reds/Nationals Under 6.5 due to the shitty lineups and quality starters but am going to pass. The Reds lineup tonight is particularly dreadful. Other leans on the Rockies and Boston/Toronto under for anyone looking for more action.
