 July 28 MLB
July 28th, 2007
A very interesting night in MLB, with a wide variety of odd plays, weather, and comebacks marking a long day. Plays finish with a 5-5 mark up 0.60 units. The Phillies led 8-1 in the 8th inning before the game was called due to rain which voided an almost sure +120 winner. Even with that disappointment, the plays managed a small gain but are still behind for the week.
Arizona won their game 8-7 over Atlanta, but not without its share of anxiety along the way. The D'Backs took a commanding 7-0 lead to start the contest, only to see the Braves storm back to within 1 as the game headed to the 9th. Arizona closer, Valverde, #2 in NL saves with 31, got the first two outs with ease. After a two out walk to Escobar, Vlaverde and the entire infield fell asleep as Escobar took second as the pitcher was cleaning his cleats. Of course, the next hitter bloops a single to tie the game. Fortunately for the play, Arizona nailed an 11th inning HR to win the game.
The Giants fell behind 6-2 to Florida, despite an early HR from Barry Bonds. San Francisco unleashed a display of power as they seized control of the game 12-7 after 6 innings. However, needing to win the game by 2....Florida makes it nervous in the 9th before a nice catch ended the game with the Giants taking a 12-10 win. The GM for the Giants must feel like an absloute moron, as once again Barry Zito got hammered around the park in his short stint. The guy gets an incredible contract, yet he has turned into a pile of crap this season. SF is now 9-12 in his starts. My play on this game was certainly not an endorsement of him, but was in fact a play against the sliding Marlins.
Plenty of action for Saturday in MLB, including a pair of day-night doubleheaders. Even with the disappointment of the runline failure in the Phillies game (it was a good call), It is possible that I will have an extra play for the evening depending on the outcome of those first games of the doubleheaders. So check back at around 6p EDT to see if I add a play to the slate.
I have made up some ground over the past two days, but still need to gain some more. The teams are starting to fall back in line, and Saturday's slate appears to be solid and I will be backing some solid hurlers. If the teams streaking and sliding go for one more game, Saturday could be a nice one. Here are the plays I am making for what I hope to be a profitable day of MLB action.
Game 1 NY Mets (Hernandez) (-1.5) +105
Game 1 St Louis (Parra) -123
Houston (Oswalt) (-1.5) +145
Arizona (Davis) +126
Cincinnati (Harang) -116
Detroit (Miller) +115
Cleveland (Westbrook) +132
Toronto (Halladay) -127
Baltimore (Burres) +156
Kansas City (Perez) -102
Boston (Lester) -115
The VERY BEST OF LUCK on your action today!!!
