Picks of the Day

Total: 202.83 Units

Milwaukee Brewers over Houston Astros MONEYLINE
Bet 1.05 Units to win 1 Unit

Last time Dave Bush faced the Astros, he out-dueled Roy Oswalt. This time, he faces Chris Sampson. I like his chances.

San Fransisco Giants -1.5 over Arizona Diamondbacks
Bet 2 Units to win 2.40 Units

On top of the fact that the Giants have been playing well and are going against Arizona's worst starter in Edgar Gonzalez, they are sending Matt Cain to the mound; the best off-the-radar pitcher in baseball.

Boston Red Sox over New York Yankees MONEYLINE
Bet 1.05 Units to win 1 Unit

The knuckleball has been dancing well for Wakefield to start the season, and Karstens is flat out terrible. The Yankees have to get out of their slump eventually, I'll just hope it isn't today.

Detroit Red Wings -1.5 over San Jose Sharks
Bet 2 Units to win 3.70 Units

I LOVE this play. You can't go into Detroit, shut the Red Wings out in Game 1 in their own stadium, and expect them not to roar back in game two. I still believe that the Sharks are the better team, but the Red Wings are too good at home and too proud of a team to drop both games in Detroit.

Good luck!

Results: 5.05 Units Lost (197.78 Units)

Ah damn, I didn't even see these and I had to get my picks in early. I was really looking at those MLB games, too.

I took the wings on the line at 3/5 for 1.5 unit to win .9 and than got the Marlins at Even and the under on 5.5 in New Jersey at Even. The best thing about betting at an English book is that once you get to know the guy, he lets you tease the line and just take even on anything close. Hopefully you see some logic in these picks, I figure anytime that Brodeur is on the ice and Elias isn't, the odds of the game getting to six is rather slim, regardless of who you are playing.. And Willis is due to get that ERA in check, so we'll hope for the best.

I've gone completely ice cold, and am second guessing myself on picks now. Plus, little bounces here and there are going completely against me.

Oh well. I'm taking an hour away from sports and than starting fresh tomorrow.
