If they are played correctly they can be very profitable however in this game he puts himself up against a 27.47% wall playing the RL rather then the ML. It was a 'different' call by him today and I personally didn't like it. No Martinez and Hafner certainly don't help covering a RL due to their power which could break open a game with one swing. Gonzalez has been terrible this season and so had the Oakland offense. Lee hasnt been similar to last year but effective at times but not worth a wager at this price. Boston with a dominate pitcher on the mound against a far more inferior opponent would have been a better play then this one but it is what it is. The freehold wiseguys liked it for some reason and im sure budin is more pissed then the guys who moved on this play. On to the next day...

Hasn't a good deal of his baseball plays this year been run line plays? I remember him hitting 2 in a row earlier this year and then they went in the toilet.
Another day indeed but I'd be surprised to see a Steve Budin special release prior to the All-Star break.
Edit: The post above me has the records for the last 10 baseball plays. Since he won the 2 in a row on RL's, 4 of his last 8 plays have been run lines. 50% of his plays have been run lines since he hit 2 in a row. He is 1-7 in those 8 with 4 of the 7 losses being RL's.
As for the "crews", they all just happened to be losing and playing(and losing) mostly run line plays at the same time? What a coincidence that is!! Seriously, what are the chances of that? It is more likely that he, Steve Budin, is the one that is cold and foolishly playing too many RL's.
Give me a break!!
Hope he turns it around because a lot of people on here follow "God" blindly and "Get it and bet it!"
ActionBrett is right that a run line play, when used right, can be an effective play. For example, Millionaire had SF with Lincecum yesterday and it was an easy run line winner. However, playing 6 out of your last 10 plays on the RL is foolish and not an effective wagering tool.

Budin is a joke and I wouldnt touch any of his plays till football. If I see him mention his recor for the last 2 years in baseball again Im going to go bizerk. His plays are absolutely ridiculous. There is NOTHING sharp about them at all. At least Lang has picked a few sharp plays in the last week. Cant say Budin has all year. I want to see him pick a game no higher than -120 between 2 Aces or a middle of the rotation pitcher
Same to you. The only point I am trying to make is that it isn't a coincidence that Budin is losing at the same time as pretty much every other tout in baseball. Too many "square" plays and nothing that the average player wouldn't play on their own without the help of a professional.
Right now it seems like only the very sharp touts are winning and those are few and far between. I guess the point is Steve Budin isn't one of these few sharps(at least in baseball).
Nick Parsons picks 1 game a day...and he has been on FIRE. Guy picks some of the sharpest plays you've ever seen. I dont even consider him a tout...I consider him a Great capper who sells his play as a means to do what he does fulltime. Touts are scam artist who manipulate any and everything to get you to buy there product. Notice I said product and not winning play.
I only pay attention to two or three guys so i cant comment on the other touts and how their losing but ill take your word on it. I think everyone 'expects' him to win and hes slumping right now. I wouldn't be surprised if he runs off a few wins after the break to get close to even and and then finish up + money on the year but we will see about that. Baseball is the only sport where a spot bettor on a square plays could easily win. Just think of all those players who had a three team parlay on the Yanks/Red Sox and Indians today, one of them had to lose SU and it was the A's.
If Cliff Lee was on today he very easily could have locked down Oakland's pitiful lineup and he may have had a win. I didn't watch the game but looking at Lees pitch count and the amount of balls thrown it looks like he simply just didnt have it.
