Friday Recap - As fortunate as we've been on a few, Friday was total
and complete SHIT. Nothing more that needs to be said. Cubs sucked
and Minnesota's bullpen couldn't get me out......

Todays Play(s) - There are two worthy plays today...First, Colorado's
Jimenez has been very strong lately and Cincy is in a bit of free fall. It
will be warm and the ball should fly out of park in Cincinnati with Colorado
doing most of the damage. Next, the Yankees nearly had the best record in
baseball until they made a visit to "The Cell" I like this matchup....look
for the yanks to get the job done here.


MLB -Colorado Rockies -145 [LISTED] Jimenez / Bailey....1015.00/ 700.00

MLB -NY Yankees -135 [LISTED] Burnett / Danks....945.00/ 700.00

Todays Play(s) - There is really only one game to even consider
on todays MLB. These matchups are terrible so I look to the hottest

3 and great throughout his career at night so with all things considered the
price is real good.

Wednesday Recap - Very, very surprised would be one way

a cold one for your first win of the year. All I can do is tip

Todays Play(s) - This is a completely shitty schedule in MLB but there
is one mismatch. I know Boston's bullpen has been absolutely
horrible....and yes you bastards can print this and hang it out in
the pen because you guys have SUCKED big time lately.
However, to let a poor team like Oakland come in and win
a series on your home field....it's not likely. Lester is going
today but no pitcher in MLB is worth -300 but
occasionally I will roll the dice on a runline and thats what
we'll do today and we're back up to the $650 bet level.

Todays Play(s) - There is a play today and normally I try to avoid betting
into games where one team is trying to sweep the other because sweeps happen
only about 20% of the time. However, in this case I have to make an exception
because my man....Y. Petit is going for Arizona. He has been better lately but
he is still winless and is facing the best road team in the league with Happ on the
mound who is just plain good. I like this matchup and the price is right.

Monday Recap
- Baltimore had Chen on the ropes early and let him
off the hook but give credit because if you'd have told me that KC was going
to score 5 or 6 I would have thought we'd be a 10-5 winner. Didn't happen.


Todays Play(s) - There is only 1 real solid play and unfortunately the
price comes with it. We'll look to the LA Angels who are about as hot as
anyone playing one of the worst road teams who's happened to win 4 straight.
I think that streak ends here and our bet goes up..

Sunday Recap
-Went as planned....Texas eventually wore down
the Royals and I give a big thumbs up to Nippert who came in for
Millwood in the 3rd and did a fantastic job.

Todays Play(s) - Today we're going back to a Kansas City game
but once again it's a FADE of the Royals....Baltimore is one of the
best hitting home teams in the league and K.C. is trotting out Mr. Chen
who is very adept at getting hit very hard. Looks like a great match.
Don't get me wrong...Baltimore has a gas can on the hill as well, no pun
intended, but the O's should be able to out slug the Royals here.

Saturday Recap
-The game went as planned yesterday the
Rockies got the job done in comfortable fashion. Best of all...we've
had a real nice run in MLB and we've padded front pocket federal
by another $500 bucks.

Todays Play(s) - Today we're going to head to Kansas City
and look at the Texas Rangers. Texas has been playing well
as of late and the opposite can be said of K.C. Now, the value
in this play is that Millwood has a 7 ERA in his last 3 but he
wen't through a little lul and I feel like his form is on the up
and I NEVER feel like Ponson has any form so to me this
feels like a good value on the visiting Rangers.

Friday Recap
-If Kevin Gregg isn't one of the worst relief
pitchers in all of MLB I don't know who is. The Cubs got the
job done for us yesterday putting another unit in our pockets
despite Gregg doing his best to piss it away. A win is a win and
we'll take it!

Todays Play(s) - We have a nice little matchup today. Colorado,
one of the hottest teams in MLB vs San Francisco....a good team
but on the road they're not so hot. On the hill for San Fran is
Sanchez who is winless on the road and Coors launch pad
probably isn't the place you get your first win. De La Rosa has
been solid lately and this feels like a good bet on a day where
most of the Matchups are ho-hum or -230.

Thursday Recap -Well back on the winning track and
it feels good as the Cardinals get a rain shortened victory
to add 500 back to where it belongs....in our pockets!

Todays Play(s) -Ok we do have a play today and starting
today I want to start adding to our program. We've had
good success here picking out the best one or two investments
each day, however, I haven't really included any kind of money
management along with the picks and starting today and moving
forward I am going to do that so our bet sizes may vary
but in reality over the same period of time with 18 wins
and 9 losses I'm personally up double what the amount is
on the blog here so I'm going to add in the money management
aspect so hopefully we can all make more money.

First, I hope a lot of you had a chance to see the perfect
game. Amazing! For today we're going to Chicago to
see if the Cubs can do something right for a change.

This is a very favorable matchup for them and Randy Wells
has kept them in nearly every game he's started. The price
is right and that's what makes this a solid investment.

It's always a good day when you cash that ticket!


Todays Play(s) -Another fairly strong play and near double
play status again..... We'll take a visit to "The Cell" in Chicago but
we're going to play the visiting Tampa Rays. For the Rays, Niemann has
been very consistent in keeping his team in the game. Then you
take a look at the line for Clayton Richard in his last start he
went 1 inning....6 Earned Runs. He's been on the downward
slide while Niemann has been very sharp. Add to that the fact
that Tampa is really a better team and now you have something!

Sunday Recap -A nice winner with St. Louis. No one said it would be
easy.....and that's why I told those of you who emailed that I was NOT
recommending the runline. Baseball is a funny sport....sometimes you
can predict the winner but predicting the score is very tough. I was just
happy to get out with a nice unit to the good.


Todays Play(s) -I almost made this a double play today....
I do like Atlanta. They are very solid offensively but wait...
they're facing Mr. No Hitter>> So what. The guy has a 5.09 ERA
after his no hitter so that tells you how bad he was before the
stars aligned and the wind was blowing in at home making all
fly balls die. That's not the case in Atlanta, oh and did I mention
that Mr. No No is a cool 0-7 on the road? He is... so get your
tomahawks and lets all do "The Chop"

see if the line would come up. Truthfully it probably won't matter. In his
last start Y. Petit beat us on the first 5 vs Florida and his bullpen got
completely blown to pieces by the Marlins. Today, I look for him to
return to reality and get shelled. On the Cardinals side, Pinero has been
a very pleasant surprise and I like the Cards to take the rubber game
of this 3 game set! The line just came out at -215....basically what I expected.

Todays Play(s) - There are 2 worthy games on Saturday.
First...the Dodgers. I'm pretty sure everyone and their mother
is going to have the Dodgers tonight but with good reason...
Kershaw has been real good as of late and LA is one of the top
home teams in MLB.

Our second play is down in Texas. The Rangers are one of the
best home teams and Minnesota is one of the bottom on the road.
A good pitching matchup and a nice price certainly makes the
Rangers worth an investment.

Thursday Recap - Frustration.....I'm not mad that Simon lost,

that's not the frustration....When I first did the blog yesterday

I had I. Benesova from the WTA but realized that everyone

would get the email with about 10 min to put the match in so

I went to plan B and that was going to give everyone about 30

min. Of course A and B won and plan C, which I did like and

play, lost. Disappointing but not discouraging as we will get

on a real nice run here....I still want to be on the + side of $5000

by months end as a bare minimum.


Todays Play(s) - We're back to MLB today. One of the most

consistent starters in the 1st half was Felix Hernandez. Cleveland

is not very good but more importantly no matter which of their

starters they throw is a bad matchup with Hernandez and then

just add in that their bullpen is awful and you have the right

mix. One of my books will let me choose Both or SINGLE listed

I just picked Single because I just want to make sure Hernandez

Saturday Recap - That's why we play it "listed
pitchers" About 10 people emailed asking what to
do when they changed from Anderson to Braden..
I told them what I'd have told everyone that it's not
a good investment going against Braden and especially
not at that price so take the cancelled bet and move on.

This brings me to a point I want everyone to understand.
The email that gets sent is not sent by me. It's sent by
feedburner and it only goes out one time per day at about
7:07am Pacific. So people ask me why don't I just email
everyone when there is a pitcher change.....the truth
is that I can't...well I could but You'd get it the next day
in the morning. The only thing I can say is to
check the blog and I'll try to update but for the most
part if we play a game with listed pitchers and their
is a pitching change....our play is done unless otherwise
specified.


Today's Play(s) - Since the last week of MLB is pretty
much a crap shoot anyway, we do have a worthy investment,
however, it comes from the WNBA. In the Chicago vs Seattle
matchup, the total should be about 148. The line opened at
138. Either the linemakers are giving early Christmas presents or
someone in the know has hit the under very very hard thus the
sportsbooks need some love on the over which they will surely get.
It makes our play even better that the public has hopped full in on the over
driving it up to 140 already. Our play is UNDER 140.

This is a night game so I would wait to bet as we may get 141 or even 142
I'll update the line on the blog if it goes over 140

Friday Recap - Sometimes if it were not for bad luck
we'd have no luck at all. Yesterday we got a push. It
didn't cost us anything but with Oswalt on cruise
control he hurt his hand at the end of the 6th and then
went out to start the 7th where he had to come out and
the pen allowed the Nats to put up a 4 spot which
cost us our jackpot. No harm though...just a day
off the calender.


Today's Play(s) - Today I'm flying blind. I really
like the matchup of Garza vs Anderson in the favor
of Tampa Bay. Problem is that I have NO IDEA what
the line is. I can't find another game that I like and
I'm constrained by time as I have to get this entry
in on time or the email won't get sent. So I'm going
to guess that Tampa is -200 and go from there.

this morning there was another pitching change. Most of you will not
have a bet on the game as the pitchers I had listed are now changed

Thursday Recap
- Well wasn't that a peach. That game was
the exact opposite of what I thought. Petit threw 5 scoreless
for the first time all year I believe and then Florida
proceeds to score about 75 runs on the Arizona pen...I guess
I outsmarted myself on that one.


Today's Play(s) - Today I'm coming right back with what
I think is the biggest mismatch at the best price. There are
some other games that appear to be mismatched but with
Washington / Houston we've got the worst road team against
what could be argued as the N.L's hottest pitcher. In
addition, Houston's bats have come to life and no staff better
than Washington to keep them hot! We're going for a double
dip on this one....

Wednesday Recap - Day Off


Today's Play(s) - Today we do have a play and I feel like
it represents a real strong value. There are some solid
pitchers going but the price is way too high. It's like last
time Sabathia pitched and people were emailing me asking
why I didn't like him. He's good....but he's back in the
A.L. so you can't judge him on how he did with Milwaukee
but you have to really go back to his Cleveland numbers but
most important with these top pitchers is that sometimes
you just have to pass because of the price. Lincecum is one
of my favorite pitchers to play but he's not unbeatable and
at -300....forget it. I just wanted to mention to be careful
with those top fav's at big prices especially around the
all star break.

Today I'm looking to the Florida / Arizona match-up for
what I think is a real nice value. There is no mystery that
I LOVE to fade Y. Petit. Problem is that his manager is
sharp and usually gets him now after only 4 innings because
he's already given up 3,4, or 5 runs. Last time in
Colorado that move ended up costing us the game as
he pulled him early enough to keep them in it. Well
since Arizona is almost always trailing early we're only
going to FADE them early and take Florida -115 for the
first 5 innings.

Yesterdays Recap - just remember one thing....."Closer" is just a "C" away from "LOSER"
The Giants should have cruised but Idiot Boy Wilson had to turn an easy winner into
a cardio workout. The bottom line, however, is that we pick up a nice $500 piece of change
to add to our pie.

Today's Play(s) - This one is tough because the lay is so heavy. Of all the
games and totals I look at I think the biggest mismatch is Verlander vs Chen.
Question for me is to play the whole game or just the first 5. If you've watched
the Tigers lately, you know that they can't seem to get anyone out from their pen
and so I really don't want any part of that. I see the Tigers bouncing out to the
early lead and then after the 5th I don't care what happens. Let's take the bullpen
out, play ONLY THE FIRST 5, and gut it up to make the lay.

The Sports Investing Professional - Monday

Well there is no Sunday to recap since we had the day
off so lets get right into today's action.....

Today's Play(s) - There is a qualifying play today...at least
in my eyes. We'll go back out to the west coast and look
at the San Francisco Giants. They are one of MLB's top
home teams and they have the good fortune of catching
Florida on a little 3 time zone overnight flight. A few of
you have asked and it's not an automatic to play against
teams who travel cross country but that can be one check
mark if there are other things to go with it.

For San Fran Cain has been the model of consistency on the
mound all year and for Florida you have West who like many
young pitchers will look great in his first few starts but it doesn't
take long for the league to get the book on you so a combo
of factors here leads me to the Giants as my investment
for today.

MLB - San Francisco Giants -165 [LISTED] West / Cain - 825.00 / 500.00

The Sports Investing Professional - Sunday


Saturday Recap
- That was a bloody nightmare. I'll tell
you right now I give all the credit in the world for that game
to Arizona's manager. With Petit giving up runs every time
he faced the top part of the Rockies lineup, Arizona's skipper
decided to take him out after only 4 innings to prevent the
game from getting out of hand early. A great move by him
and unfortunately for us it didn't work out. You have to give
credit where it's due.

Today's Play(s) -I've gone over all the matchups today
and they suck. I'm just going to take the day off as I have no
interest in any of the big lays that are out there and none of
the totals present any value. Enjoy your Sunday and we'll
see if we can't come up with any gems on Monday.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY.....To those of you who read this
and are celebrating the day!


Friday Recap
- What is there to say?? The game looked
like it was following along nicely and appeared to be a sure winner
after 3 innings but for some reason LA didn't feel much like
participating and we ended up with a push. A push isn't bad....
it just takes a day off the calendar so no harm done.

Today's Play(s) - We do have what I consider to be a
very solid investment today and if it were not for the price
this would probably be a 2 unit job. However, my philosiphy
on that is why put too much at risk when we've had a solid
and profitable coulple weeks it would be disappointing to work
so hard and only be up a couple bucks. Today we look to
the Colorado Rockies. Far and away the hottest team in MLB
and they have their best starter going. Cook is one of the
few pitchers who's learned how to pitch in coors and pitch
effectively. On Arizona's side we have Y. Petit who has
an 8 + ERA and that's not considering the type of damage
that a warm coors night can provide to one's ERA. Top that
off with the fact that his team is 0-5 in his starts....I like
my chances with the Rockies -190

Thursday Recap
- A nice solid win for LA Angels. Again this
one went to plan....Baltimore a little flat and Lackey rounding
into form very nicely. Most important is that we add another
$500 to our bottom line!

Today's Play(s) - I carefully examined every game over and over
and couldn't find a solid edge on any of the sides but I did find a total
worth an investment. We're going right back to the same series
between LA and Baltimore. Now that the Orioles have had a day
to get the lag out, these two teams should have no problems in the
scoring department. Baltimore is one of the top 3 over teams on the
road and with the form that both starters have exhibited lately we
should get an early fireworks show tonight!

The Sports Investing Professional - Thursday

Tuesday Recap - Who says prayers aren't answered?? I threw
out a prayer to the god of horrible bullpens to help and wha-la.
Actually it's more like cheaters proof from the night before with
the Chicago Sky where they cheated us out of a win. The bottom
line is that yesterday we put a nickel in the bank!

Today's Play(s) - We do have one play today. This is a good
spot for the LA Angels. They are playing well right now and Lackey
has been improving where the Orioles had to wonder what just
happened after leading 5-1 in the 9th. Top that off with a plane trip
across 3 time zones and you have all the elements for a flat Orioles
perfomance. Normally, this game might have had a line of
about -130, so the strong opener is a real good indication as well
that tonight should belong to the HALO'S.

MLB - LA Angels -160 [LISTED] Guthrie / Lackey 800 / 500
