DISCONTINUED
I'm going to take a break from this half of my blog. Not enough reader interest. Hopefully I'll get the chance to re-visit it at a later date.

Picks of the Day
Total: 198.36 Units
Anaheim Ducks over Detroit Red Wings MONEYLINE
Bet 76.5 Units to win 45 Units
No, that isn't a typo, it should not be 8.5 Units to win 5.0. If the Ducks are going to win this series, I am going to make good money on it. If they lose this game, I'll be betting even more on game 7. I would gladly lose all of my gambling money and retire from gambling for a while to see the Ducks lose this series.
Go Wings!
Results: 45 Units Won (WOW! 243.36 Units)

Picks of the Day
Total: 201.36 Units
Cincinnati Reds -1.5 over Washington Nationals
Bet 1 Unit to win .80 Units
I feel really uncomfortable betting for the Reds as they never seem to be able to hold a lead (let alone a 2 run one...) still, with Arroyo on the mound against a no name for the Nationals, I have to trust the Reds to win this one comfortably.
Arizona Diamondbacks -1.5 over Colorado Rockies
Bet 1 Unit to win 1.10 Units
Maybe I shouldn't blindly follow my fantasy pitchers, but when Brandon Webb squares off against Aaron Cook, I simply can not help myself.
Boston Red Sox over New York Yankees MONEYLINE
Bet 1 Unit to win 1.30 Units
Wakefield has pitched well this season, and the Red Sox are playing better ball in general. Gotta like them at this price moneyline.
Good luck!

Picks of the Day
Total: 200.62 Units
Taking the day off of baseball today... just have a bad feeling about it.
Anaheim Ducks over Detroit Red Wings MONEYLINE
Bet .62 Units to win .74 Units
I think the Wings are going to win this game, and I hope the Wings win this game. That said? If you can get the best team in the NHL, straight up, at better than even odds, you take it.
Good luck!

Picks of the Day
Total: 200.07 Units
Pittsburgh Pirates -1.5 over Arizona Diamondbacks
Bet 1 Unit to win 1.45 Units
I like Micah Owings, but the Pirates are swinging hot bats right now, and Tom Gorzelanny should be able to contain the D'Backs' offense,
St. Louis Cardinals @ Detroit Tigers OVER 9 runs
Bet 1 Unit to win 1.05 Units
Reyes and Robertson aren't bad, but they aren't great either. I just have a feeling this will be a good day for hitters.
Baltimore Orioles -1.5 over Washington Nationals
Bet 1 Unit to win 1.05 Units
Guthrie has pitched well for the Orioles, but that shouldn't even be the issue. Baltimore should be able to outhit Washington with Mike Bacsik on the mound.
Kansas City Royals -1.5 over Colorado Rockies
Bet 1 Unit to win 1.40 Units
Gil Meche has been great this year, and the Buchholz has been anything but. Not to mention, the Royals have been playing good baseball. I'll take them at these odds.
Los Angeles Angels -1.5 over Los Angeles Dodgers
Bet 1 Unit to win 1.45 Units
Definitely like Jered Weaver to outpitch Mark Hendrickson at home.
San Fransisco Giants @ Oakland Athletics UNDER 7 runs
Bet 1 Unit to win 1.05 Units
7 runs is awfully low, but with Haren and Cain on the mound, it should be. This one should be a pitcher's duel to the end.
Good luck!
Results: .55 Units Won (200.62 Units)

Picks of the Day
Total: 197.92 Units
Philadelphia Phillies -1.5 over Toronto Blue Jays
Bet 1 Unit to win 1.15 Units
Philly has been hitting the ball well, and I don't see Dustin McGowan stopping them from doing so. They should be able to out-slug Toronto in this one.
New York Mets over New York Yankees MONEYLINE
Bet 1.05 Units to win 1 Unit
Oliver Perez may have his work cut out for him against this lineup, but I'll trust him and the Mets' bats to pull it off here.
Milwaukee Brewers -1.5 over Minnesota Twins
Bet 1 Unit to win 1.20 Units
Gotta like Capuano over Bonser, especially in Milwaukee.
Texas Rangers @ Houston Astros OVER 9 runs
Bet 1.05 Unit to win 1 Unit
Neither Tejada nor Albers are particularly great pitchers, there is a short porch, and the Astros should come out swinging after yesterdays frustrating loss.
Good luck!
Results: 2.15 Units Won (200.07 Units)

Picks of the Day
Total: 198.92 Units
Florida Marlins over Pittsburgh Pirates MONEYLINE
Bet 1 Unit to win .93 Units
Even if the Marlins have been cold and have a disaster of a bullpen, nothing wakes up a cold bat like the chance to play against Tony Armas Jr. Any time you can bet against him at moneyline at almost even money, don't pass on it.
San Fransisco Giants @ Houston Astros UNDER 7.5 runs
Bet 1 Unit to win 1 Unit
My favorite player in the league (Roy Oswalt) VS. the wonder-kid Tim Lincecum. I'd bet the under if it was 2.5 as much as I love these two.
PARLAY:
Detroit Red Wings over Anaheim Ducks MONEYLINE AND
Detroit Red Wings @ Anaheim Ducks OVER 4.5 goals
Bet 1 Unit to win 3.25 Units
With Pronger out, the Wings have a very good chance of winning this game. And, in my opinion, the only way they do that is by scoring 3 or 4 goals (exploiting the weakness on the Ducks' D). So, might as well parlay the two bets and make extra bank if it works out!

Picks of the Day
Total: 200.68 Units
Utah Jazz -4.5 over Washington Wizards
Bet .70 Units to win .64 Units
If I lose this one I will likely retire from basketball betting (something I should have done a long time ago anyways), but this one seems pretty easy to me. Jazz have dominated this series through and through, and at home with the chance to eliminate, a 5 point victory strikes me as likely.
Atlanta Braves -1.5 over Washington Nationals
Bet 2 Units to win 1.60 Units
Tim Hudson is back to his true ace self, and Jarome Williams and the Nationals aren't exactly a terrifying force. The Braves SHOULD cruise to an easy victory in this one.
Milwaukee Brewers over Philadelphia Phillies MONEYLINE
Bet 1 Unit to win .95 Units
I still think the Brewers are legit, and Claudio Vargas has pitched well this season. He should be able to out-duel Adam Eaton.
Florida Marlins @ Pittsburgh Pirates UNDER 8.5 runs
Bet 1 Unit to win .95 Units
The Marlins' bats have been ice cold, and Sergio Mitre (of Florida) has pitched well enough this season to believe he can handle the Pirates. I see this being a pretty low scorer.
Tampa Bay Devil Rays -1.5 over Texas Rangers
Bet 1 Unit to win 1.40
Lights-out James Shields faces off against... lights-in?... Brandon McCarthy. Tampa Bay will have to score some runs, but I think Shields will do his part.
Oakland Athletics -1.5 over Kansas City Royals
Bet 1 Unit to win 1 Unit
The A's pitching has been outstanding this year, and Joe Kennedy has been no exception. With Brian Bannister taking the mound for the Royals, this really shouldn't be too difficult for the A's.
Good Luck!
Results: 1.76 Units Lost (198.92 Units)

Picks of the Day
Total: 201.68 Units
Since my catastrophy of a day last Saturday, I've been on an insane hot streak, winning 6 of the last 7 days; and the day I lost was a tiny 0.32 Units. I wanted to take the day off today, but there are two games that look to be absolute sure things; so I'll just parlay them and hope for the best. Only one play today; I'd like to end the weekend AHEAD.
A parlay is when you bet two (or more) games together and they both (or all) MUST hit for you to be paid. 1 for 2 pays nothing. Hitting a parlay results in larger payouts than if you bet the games individually, since you run the risk of losing the entire bet if the parlay loses.
PARLAY:
Boston Red Sox -1.5 over Baltimore Orioles AND
New York Yankees -1.5 over Seattle Mariners
Bet 1 Unit to win 2.30 Units
Josh Beckett and Andy Pettitte face Jeremy Guthrie and Horacio Ramirez, respectively. Better pitcher playing for the better team often results in wins.
Good luck!
