Oldman's 5* Selections For 8/2/09 - YTD: 85-78-1 (+84.25)

Damn Marquis gave up tying 3 run shot and is at 100 pitches.

F me in the poop shoot.

I agree with you. I know Jurgeins is lights out in Atlanta over his last starts (3-0 .75ERA and .88WHIP), but the Dodgers are the best team in baseball and I dont see them losing back to back games.

I have capped this game and actually may have a play on this game that I'll post later. Let's see how the day goes.

Yep! Got one back in the 8th. Thought we might get two but left runners at lst and 3rd. Top of the line-up in the 9th. We can always hope!

Ball must be flying in Cincy today. Tied up again! :>(

I think when Marquis beaned his friend Rolen, he lost his concentration on the next hitter. Result: 3 run homer. ^<<^

Have decided to post my selection for the L.A./Atlanta game tonight. So far, the first two games are looking tough, but I can't let that affect a play that is warranted IMHO.

5* Atlanta -1.5 (+165) Jazz

Good luck everyone!

 

[AFBaldeagle]

Got the Rockies in for us buddy!

How about that. Got a favorable call at first base to get us the extra run we needed. A little luck never hurts in this business. :toast:

How did you decide Braves -1.5, Ted?

 

[oldmanTED]

Have you ever had 0-4 5* Days, Ted? If not, then I am going huge on Braves -1.5

With the Rockies win, they'll be no 0-4 today and the Phillies just got 2 runs to take the lead from the Giants. Have I ever had an 0-4 day. Of course. But that being said, I do like the Braves tonight. Once I capped the game, I do see a distinct advantage in the pitching for Atlanta. Billingsley has not been the same pitcher the last few outings that he was early in the season and will face the Braves hitting from the left side which I feel they are stronger. Jurrjens has been on his game, as you said, particularly at home and for his last few starts. Edge to the Braves IMHO. But don't forget, I have been on the wrong side of the first two games of this series. Am I due or will I lose all three? You decide.

OK, Ted. I think I am tailing you and convincing myself to play the Braves -1.5.

OK, but don't go overboard. This game is no different then any other I have posted, so play a normal amount as baseball will be played everyday through September.
