Nothing I hate more then putting all the work in and losing money for the day. I guess it's like when a car salesman who is paid only on commission works a full day and doesn't make a dime. But if I can keep the losing days to small dollar amounts like this I think we'll be ok. Have to shake off a blown save by Romo and get ready for a successful weekend. Be back soon with Saturday's picks.

Reds -152 Risk $152 to Win $100 - This one should be -200. Cueto vs a guy who gave up 4 earned runs in 6 innings against the Dodgers (who haven't tee'd off on anyone), and the Red's coming off a loss to the Pirates in game 1. Yikes.
Rockies -112 Risk $112 to Win $100 - Chacin has been fantastic this season and Volquez has been horrible. Volzuez ERA against the Rockies is close to 5 (in fact his career era is pushing 5 as well) while Chacin's vs the Padre's is in the 2's. The Rockies have already shown this season that they can hit Volquez and the Padre's have shown they can't do much damage against Chacin. I'm sure this one will be closer then the easy 9-1 win the Rockies had in this matchup but Rockies should get the win nonetheless and -112 is a heck of a value with a better pitcher, better recent history, and much better offense on our side.
Good luck everybody. I hope you guy's have a great Saturday.

I feel confident saying this should have been a sweep today. First the Red's lose their hottest bat because of a family matter, then Cueto get's hurt after 4 innings. Then to replace the Ace the red's bring in the worst reliever on the team. That reduced our profit from 300 on the day to 48. Ouch. Without a doubt our sickest beat of the young season. Guess what, there will be more. Shit happens and we move on. Tomorrow we end the week with another profitable day.

4/14/13 Really love these plays today. Let's end another good week with a sweep.
White Sox -133 Risk $133 to Win 100 - I expect Peavey to pitch more like his first outing then his last one. Myers has been bad, allowing an absurd amount of home runs. The white sox score most of their runs off of HR's. Today is a perfect spot for the sox to avoid the sweep and get their first road win of the year.
Rangers -118 Risk $118 to Win $100 - We were on the losing end of Maurer's last start against the Astro's. I watched that game. He was horrific (and that is putting it mildly). This guy leaves everything out over the plate. And unfortunately for him the Rangers bats are a little bit nastier then the Astros who lit him up for six runs in the first inning. -118? It doesn't matter to me who the opposing pitcher is. I don't care if I'm suiting up and pitching for Texas today I still make this bet. I always say every lesson in baseball betting is an expensive one. Last time we backed Maurer it cost us $150. Today we learn from that loss and make some of it back.
