The Sports Investing Professional - Friday



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....

MLB - Houston Astros -180 [LISTED] Olsen / Oswalt - 900.00 / 500.00
MLB - Houston Astros -1.5 (+115) [LISTED] Olsen / Oswalt - 500.00 / 575.00

The Sports Investing Professional - Thursday

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.

MLB - Florida Marlins 1H -115 [LISTED] Miller / Petit - 575.00 / 500.00
