Premier League(England) / Serie A(Italy) / Primera Division(Spain)

This is the point in time where one can start making money on European Soccer.
The Champions league is coming down to its end.
Teams involved in the competition, when competing in their own leagues usually concentrate on staying healthy, and taking it easy.
A win is not a must.
So I'll bring forth teams who have proven throughout history that they have their priorities straight.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

West Ham vs Chelsea

Draw = 3.20
West Ham win = 4.33

Roma vs Parma

Draw = 3.30
Parma Win = 5.50

Deportivo La Coruna vs Sevilla

Chelsea has little chance and Milan has no chance of taking their leagues so their hopes are all pinned on the CL. Milan plays arsenal 72 hours later so I expect they will rest their top players. Good calls there.

Inter and Real Madrid can't afford to slip up in their leagues so the game will still be a priority for them, I'd expect them to pull out a result. They'll each rest key players but they'll still have enough in them I think.

I recall Real Madrid in this exact predicament a few years back.
Real Madrid lost 0-2 at home against Valladolid, proving that they had absolutely no interest in anything but the Champions league.

Inter Milan is part of the Campionato.
The Italian teams priorities are being governed by people on a political level.
A very proud people those Italians are.
All that aside... Inter is under no threat.
A draw seems as likely as any other in this particular game in Naples

W.HI.P 03-02-2008 04:04 PM

I went 50% with the AC Milan's tie, Inter Milan loss and Sevilla's Loss.
Here are the results from domestic leagues of the 16 teams competing in the Champions league:

Napoli 1 - 0 Inter Milan
AS Roma 4 - 0 Parma
AC Milan 1 - 1 Lazio
Atletico Madrid 4 - 2 Barcelona
Deportivo La Coruna 2 - 1 Sevilla
Recreativo Huelva 2 - 3 Real Madrid
Lille 0 - 1 Lyon
Schalke 0 - 1 Bayern Munich
Bolton W. 1 - 3 Liverpool
West Ham U. 0 - 4 Chelsea
Arsenal 1 - 1 Aston Villa
Fulham 0 - 3 Manchester U.
Celtic 2 - 1 Inverness C.T.
Boavista 0 - 0 FC Porto
Olympiakos Piraeus 1 - 1 Asteras Tripolis
Ankaragucu 0 - 0 Fenerbahce

7 wins out of 16 games from the elite of Europe is the result of teams looking at the Champions league.
IMO, the teams in red or orange, are the teams that have their priorities straight this week.

W.HI.P 03-04-2008 10:57 AM

UEFA Champions League

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

AC Milan vs Arsenal

I've already talked about this match-up in this thread.
The Italians will progress.
The only scenario with that happening other than an AC Milan is a 0-0 draw. A result that is very common in Milan's history.

Bet on the AC Milan Win = 2.15
Back it up with a small wager on the score ending 0-0 = 6.50


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Sevilla vs Fernebarche

Perfect scenario after the 1st matchup, a simple 1-0 win for the Spanish will do.

Bet on Sevilla = 1.40

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Chelsea vs Olympiacos

I've been having an argument all week about this one.
Its a joke in my eyes.

Bet on Chelsea = 1.28

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Man Utd vs Lyonnais

This is a long shot as Utd have the advantage in England.
I can't look past the price in this one.

Bet on the draw = 4.50
Bet on the Lyonnais win = 9.00


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Real Madrid vs Roma

I like Roma to go through against Real Madrid.
But I especially like the prices on the Italians

Bet on the draw = 4.50
Bet on the Roma win = 9.00

W.HI.P 03-05-2008 11:10 AM

Ouch! I don't know what hurts me more, Lyon's loss(Fan), or AC Milan's loss($$$).
Sevilla's win certainly didn't win me over in either category.

However Chelsea and Roma can save my week economically.

UEFA CUP

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Anderlecht(Belgium) vs Bayern Munich(Germany)

Bayern is one of the best teams left in the UEFA cup.
In this particular game though, you can't expect the Germans to win against such a team as Anderlecht.
The Germans should find success in a draw if they can pull it off.

Bet on the draw = 3.50
Bet on the Anderlecht win = 5.00


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*


Totenham(England) vs PSV(Holland)

The winner of this 2 leg match-up will be a serious contender for winning this Uefa Cup.
PSV is easily the greatest football school in the world raising the talent that gets spread around Europe.
I give the dutch the edge.
Based on price, I'm wagering on them getting a positive result in England.

Bet on the draw = 3.30
Bet on the PSV win = 5.00


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

W.HI.P 03-05-2008 10:29 PM

AC Milan 0-2 Arsenal ............Loss
Sevilla 3-2 Fernebarche ........WIN = 1.40
Chelsea 3-0 Olympiacos ........WIN = 1.28

W.HI.P 03-09-2008 09:07 AM

So PSV won (5.00)
And Bayern Won big.

Those two teams IMO, are the two elite teams remaining in this UEFA cup.
I'd be suprised if a team other than one of them wins it.

After persistant requests, I'm going to add some NHL picks, although they are generally, highly unpredictable.
Motives are hard to determine.
Those who place money on those particular teams who need to win, consistently lose money.
The reason, is that those teams who seem to need to win, have opposite motives.
In the NHL, all factors are considered when positioning teams for the playoffs and for the upcoming draft.

Washington Capitols vs Pittsburgh Penguins

This is the game that will indicate wether or not the Capitols are aiming at this year or not.
Based on the weak Eastern conference, I can only assume that the forces that run this Washington team, view this year as a possibility.
This game is certainly a preview of Eastern conference finals to come in the next couple years.

The Capitols have to win this home game!


Bet on the Capitols = 1.85

Dallas Stars vs Colorado Avalanche


Mr assist is back!
Watch!

Bet on the Avalanche = 2.10

W.HI.P 03-10-2008 11:09 PM

Mr. Assist did not play.
With Foote injured as well, Colorado's season can come to an end.
Sakic is great, but it would have been different with Forsberg.

With Washington, I think its for the best that they don't enter this years playoffs.
The Capitols will make the Playoffs next year, and the year after that, they are contenders along with the Penguins for representing the East in the Stanley Cup. It will be a very exciting time in Washington at the end of this decade!

I hear many people assume that the LA Kings are the worst team in hockey. This is far from reality.
They are simply still in the stage of building......
Best way to build? ----> Finish in last place! Draft the ace.
Then do it again, and if neccesary... one more time, and you're in the Stanley Cup.
Otherwise you're a retarded team like the Leafs, hovering under par for eternity.

This is around the time, where most of the elite teams decide to rest a little and play carefully as to remain healthy.
Tough teams don't play tough.
Fast teams, don't skate so fast .....its rest time.


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*


Anaheim Ducks @ Phoinex Coyotes

The Stanley Cup Champions are clearly the team to beat in the NHL.
I don't think Anaheim wants to play against San Jose in the first round of the play-offs.
They will clearly look to avoid them.
Anaheim winning, does not help them achieve that.
Phoinex is capable, despite looking in from a far distance, of making the play-offs. It looks like they might have to win this one in order for hope to remain.

Bet on the Coyotes = 2.20


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*


Chicago Blackhawks @ Detroit Red Wings

Here's a chance for Detroit to rest.

Here are the teams that Detroit could possibly match-up against in the first round of the play-offs
6. Calgary 80
7. Colorado 80
8. Vancouver 78
9. Nashville 78
10. Phoenix 73
11. Chicago 73

I don't think Detroit cares about who they face out of these teams.
Its resting time.

On the othe hand, Chicago's team is very exciting!
Now there's a team to watch for the future!

Bet on the Blackhawks = 2.50

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*


New Jersey Devils @ Montreal Canadiens

At the start of the season, one thing was very obvious.
The Canadiens have the greatest skaters in the NHL.
Every team they play, they outskate their opponents.
This is a rivalry, and positioning for both teams overide any resting from either side.
In this case, the Canadiens should win overtaking the Devils for 1st place in the East, as they are clearly superior.

Bet on the Canadiens = 1.70


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*


San Jose Sharks @ Nashville predators

The San Jose Sharks would like to avoid plaing against the Anaheim Ducks in the first round of the play-offs.... there is no doubt about that.
They can easily achieve this, by simply overtaking Dallas in first place in their division.
This would require San Jose to win more games than Dallas.
No resting for San Jose here.

Bet on the Sharks = 1.65


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

robsterman1 03-11-2008 01:49 PM

So WHIP, what you think of the upcoming baseball season? Think the NY Yankees can pull out of their slump to battle all the way to the World Series? Or will the Red Sox become white hot?

2008-2009


American League
*~*~*~*~*~*~*

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

East

Its evident that both the Yankees and the Red Sox have weaker line-ups than last year.
However, both Bull-pens look very interesting and rich.
Boston's Outfielder Ellsbury will be very interesting to watch.
All eyes will be on Yankees RP Chamberlain!

Toronto is not looking like their improving... the only thing that brings them closer is the weakening of the two greater teams.
The one and only team in this division that will improve is the Tampa Bay Devil Rays .
Kazmir and Shields make up a great 1-2. and the bullpen is actually stronger:
T. Percival (Closer)
A. Reyes <<----This guy is an ace
G. Glover
D. Wheeler <<----this #4 shows how deep this bullpen is.
Upton, Pena and Crawford, make this team actually capable of competing for top spot in this division.... if not this year, then the next, and furthermore. How interesting it will look with Tampa Bay above Boston in this division.

Bet on Tampa Bay = 67.00 (67/1)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Central

Miguel Cabrera was a huge addition to Detroit, and yes,
Verlander is a year older. Zumaya holds up the bullpen.
A lot of people see this team as the best team in baseball, i do not.
This division still holds the Clevland Indians who are as strong as they were last year. The White Sox made some key improvments, that will put some serious runs up on the scoreboard. The Bullpen however does not look as promising.
Things are very exciting in Minnesota as well, despite loosing Johan.
That bullpen is cetainly one to envy.
Last but not least, the Kansas City Royals. Improved, no doubt, but their gonna need to improve a lot more in the years to come if they wanna compete with the teams in their division.

Detroit : 1.72
Clevland : 2.62
Chicago : 10.00
Minnesota : 13.00
Kansa City : 51.00

Bet what you will, I will avoid this division at this time.



*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

West

Felix Hernandez, Bedard and Putz are 3 of the absolute elite pitchers in the game, the only reason Seattle can't win this division is its lack of depth, both in the field, and in its pitching staff.
The Angels are too rich in players.
Escobar, Lackey, Jered Weaver, Saunders, Garland and Santana are their Starters ....they will also hold a luxury of trading one of them for a bat when the time comes if needed.... the certainly won't need an Outfielder though. Vladimir Guerrero, Torri Hunter, Gary Mathews Jr., Garret Andersons(DH), Reggie Willits and Rivera make up the richest outfield in baseball.
Lets not forget the fastest throwing closer in the game, RP Fransisco Rodriguez.
Mr.Shields
will be setting him up, and Spier for the 7th.
The team is elite and World series prone.
Are the summer time blues innevitable for the Texas Rangers?
Maybe they should move the franchise.
At the pit of this division and baseball, we find the Oakland A's.

Bet on the LA Angels = 1.40


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
East

The New York Mets are the best team in baseball IMO.
They would be listed by me, as the favorites even if they hadn't picked up Johan Santana.
I've consistently made money of Johan's losses these past 2 years, but with the Mets, and in the National league, things look quite different.


Bet on the Mets = 1.47

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I'm not even gonna go into the rest of the teams in the National league as I believe that this race has already been won.

National league pennant

Bet on the New York Mets = 3.75

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Ottawa Senators @ Montreal Canadiens


Montreal seems to be the best team in the Eastern Conference.
This win, again, will put them all alone in 1st place.
The team is more than it seems.
Its not just the skating.
The defence... all 3 lines are full of starters.
Ottawa is less than Montreal as a whole.

Bet on the Canadiens = 1.65

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Vancouver Canucks @ Phoinex Coyotes

There are huge differences between these two teams at this time.
Phoinex is a play-off calibure team while Vancouver is simply bad.
I'd be very suprised if this game isn't over by mid 2nd period.

Bet on the Coyotes = 1.85

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

W.HI.P 03-14-2008 06:32 PM

Phoinex Coyotes @ Vancouver Canucks

Phoinex's upcoming games are against Edmonton, Vancouver, Edmonton and the LA. Kings.
You can expect Phoinex to win at least 3 of those games.
Phoinex will focus everything on their game against Vancouver.
Expect Bryzgalov to rest in one of the two games against the Oilers.
Expect Bryzgalov to get another shut out against the Canucks.
Phoinex is ranked #4 in the NHL in road games.

Bet on the Coyotes = 2.30

W.HI.P 03-18-2008 09:55 AM

Latest result......
Phoinex Coyotes 1-3 Vancouver Canucks = Loss

March Madness!
Now, I'm not saying that North Carolina is not capable of winning it, cause they are.
Hansbrough is a superstar, no doubt.
All I'm saying is that its a long road till the final, and given minor details that could occur within any given game, should this man, miss time ...even a little time, the rest of the team is not capable of competing at this level.
So, the #1favorite: North Carolina, is a no bet.
As I said before in this thread, Duke is not capable oif consistently hitting those % in long range shots.
Although Duke is capable of making the semi's, I would not bet on them beyond that point, so Duke is also a no bet.
UCLA? Are you kidding me? How on earth can this team win it? No bet.
Kansas!!! Now there's a team that can win it! Georgetown may prove to be great obstacles on Kansas's way to the finals. but...
Bet on Kansas = 6.00
Memphis, although not the best team, are a good bet, as they should take the south pretty easily as there are no competitive teams within.
Bet a bit on Memphis = 6.50
Tennessee deserves mentioning from this point on.
Bet a bit on Tennessee = 13.00
Indiana, although having N.Carolina as their opponents early on, are an amazing bet at that price as they are capable of beating the best of them!
Bet on Indiana = 81.00

Golden State play in Denver on Saturday and then host Dallas on Sunday.

If you have access to NBA wagering, take the Warriors on the spread in both games.

I am so upset for the Warriors who lost against Denver.
I'm still extremely optimistic that this team, not only will make the play-offs, but also will advance further more, if of course, they can avoid the Lakers.

I also did not expect UCLA to reach this far, thats for sure.
Yes, of course it was a weak bracket.
Maybe it was a mistake to reach in that bracket when we had Kansas to ride on. I've actually made money on the NCAA, as the amounts wagered have in fact mainly been on Kansas.
They have of course, won out, and beaten every spread.
My original Bet on Kansas = 6.00 to win it all, is basically the main factor for this remaining tournament.
I will in fact make a great profit should Kansas prove me to be correct.

NHL

Carolina Hurricanes @ Washington Capitols

Hockey in the regular season does not get more important than this game.
This is for 1st place in the Southeast, thus 3rd in the Eastern Conference.
It seems like the team that does not win this division will be the underdog in a battle with the Flyers for that final 8th ticket to the play-offs.
I believe that Washington is in fact playing better hockey than Carolina at this time.

Bet on the Washington Capitols = 1.50

Latest results......

Carolina Hurricane 1 - 4 Washington Capitols ..................WIN

Champions League

Liverpool @ Arsenal

There is no comparing these two teams, Liverpool is by far a superior team, and they demonstrate it every year in the CL while Arsenal involves itself with meaningless challenges such as the premier league title.
I think it'll be a straight out win for the better side, but betting defencivley will have to involve the draw as well.

Bet on the Liverpool win = 3.40
Bet on the draw = 3.00


*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Uefa Cup

PSV @ Fiorentina

This is a tough match-up for PSV as they face a representative of the greatest league in the world.
PSV is the greatest team in the competition and should get a positive result in Italy.

Bet on the PSV win = 3.80
Bet on the draw = 3.00

NHL

Dallas Stars @ Phoinex Coyotes

As it stands, Dallas will have to face Anaheim in the play-offs.
Dallas is in a position where they can chose their opponents.
If they lose, and fall a spot, they'll get to play Minnesota.
One can only assume that Dallas would be looking to avoid Anaheim.

Bet on the Phoinex Coyotes = 2.00

PSV 1 - 1 Fiorentina ..............WIN = 3.00
Dallas 4 - 2 Phoinex ...............Loss

Both Liverpool and PSV now hold the advantage for their home games.
What I don't understand is the Stars!
They really made a mistake.
Dallas will now experience the difference between a regular season game and a play-off game.
Goddess forbid Dallas actually wins a game against Anaheim?
Oopsy daisy, that'll just translate to a fifth game of physical punishment.
They're gonna wish they could turn back the clock to last night and chosen Minnesota.
They probably would have lost against the Wild as well, but at least they'd stay out of the hospital.
Given the recent history between the two teams, I'm telling ya, its gonna be a clinic....... just watch the innevitable.

NCAA Final Four

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Memphis(-2.5) - UCLA

These are clearly the two worst teams in the final four.
Memphis has the tools to limit Love to longer range shots.
I have money on Memphis to win it all at 13/2, so i'm gonna take it easy here.

Bet on Memphis

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kansas - North Carolina(-3.5)

In reality, this is the final, as these are clearly the two best college basketball teams at this time.
I got some serious money ridng on Kansas to win it all at 6/1.
My only fear is Hansbrough who will easily dominate under the basket.
He will shine, no doubt.
As a team though, Kansas is better, and deserving in my eyes, of being the team to take it all.

Yes, it is a huge pay period.
You've obviously made great profits as well.
Its kind of obvious where the NHL is going as well.
lol, my 3 Eastern conference teams are the #1,2 and 3 ranks, while Anaheim and San Jose have set it up to avoid each other.

I feel for you dude.
Speaking to an Arsenal fan, I cannot hold back from saying that Wenger has to go.
Arsenal will now be ranked 4th amongst English teams having Chelsea Liverpool and Man Utd progressing further in the Champions league.
Thats the kinda thing I was tryna explain earlier in this thread.
The Premiership does not hold much weight at all.
If you're are a true fan of Arsenal, you must entertain the idea of Arsenal without Wenger.

lookout123 04-09-2008 12:25 AM

See the thing is that I don't much care about the rankings you use. They're for guys like you who make money on the games, and that is cool, but it doesn't matter at the supporter level. I would rather have Arsenal rank 4th on your list every year for the next 100 and play the entertaining style they do if the other option is to be number 1 and play boring percentage ball like Chelsea. Of course, I'd like to see them ranked #1 AND playing the entertaining style they do and I believe they will.

Before the season began everyone wrote them off as a team of too young nobody's. They surprised us all by making it to within 2 minutes and a piss poor referee decision of making the semifinals of the CL and they sat atop the Premier League for most of the season. At the end the squad was just too thin to cover for the injuries.

Van Persie has missed all but 10 games of the season with injury
Rosicky the same
Eduardo broken leg

Those three should have been the top scorers for the season.

Fabergas, Flamini,Hleb, Diaby, Sagna, Gallas, Toure have all had extended absences due to injury. That is 10 of the starting 11. Chelsea or Manchester United would also be in trouble if they dealt with that.

Wenger must stay. A few players must go and a few need to be bought. There's always next year.

W.HI.P 04-09-2008 09:21 AM

Its not my rankings.
Its Europe's rankings.
The Champions league winner is the #1 ranked team in Europe. Period.
The Finalist would be #2, and so fourth.

If PSV won the CL, they would be the #1 ranked team in Europe, and respectivly in Holland.
Even if PSV were to be relegated in their local competition, they would clearly and undoubtably be ranked Holland's #1 team.
The same applies for Italy, England, Germany, Spain, etc etc.

We'll use this year as a scenario...

Say Liverpool beats Man Utd in the Champions league final.

The rankings for English teams would be:

1)Liverpool (Ranked #1 in Europe)
2)Man Utd (Ranked #2 in Europe)
3)Chelsea (Ranked in top 4 in Europe)
4)Arsenal (Ranked in top 8 in Europe)

There are no opinions in rankings.
They are what they are.

W.HI.P 04-09-2008 09:34 AM

Englands teams can only match what Italian teams achieved, having both Champion league finalists, and 3 of the 4 semi-finalists.
All this of course, in a rare year where Italy's Queen Juventus is not in the competition
..... She shall return to her throne.

lookout123 04-09-2008 12:22 PM

LA Dodgers vs Pittsburgh Pirates

B.Penny vs P.Maholm.
Penny is elite and should start pitching his gems.

LA Angels vs Kansas City Royals

Jered Weaver vs G.Meche
One could surely argue with conviction that Meche is an ace.
And he is, no doubt about it, The Royals have an amazing #1 SP.
With Escobar and Lackey still on the DL, Jered Weaver is the Angels #1, although Saunders is making a strong case with his 2-0 record, his 1.27 ERA and 0.94 WHIP.
Jered Weaver IMO, is the Angels #1 for years to come.
His style of throw reminds me of the consistent elite in the game.

Bet on The LA Angels

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Oakland A's vs Tampa Bay Rays

J.Blanton vs J.Shields
WIth Kazmir on the DL, J.Shields is the Rays #1 SP.
Shields has pitched great this year, matching expectations.
The Rays line-up is impossible to blank!
You'll get a great price on this as the Rays will be the underdog.

I hear all this talk from so many people about Phoinex.
I don't understand where it comes from.
The Suns could have just as easily not been in the play-offs.
....And then they throw in the Nash/O'Neal talk.
I really don't get it.
Who the F is Nash?
Even more so, who the F is O'Neal?
The only thing that kind of evens things out here is that Phoinex has someone to semi-cover Duncan.
Otherwise this would be a 4 game series.

At the start of the season when everyone had the Tigers listed as the #1 team in baseball, I said....no, they're far from it.
Ok, so now they have the 2nd worst record in baseball.
Everyone at this time is saying that they're the worst team in baseball.
Wake the F up people!
Detroit is a great team.... easily one of the best, and still the #1 favorite to win the American league central division.
Verlander is clearly their #1 pitcher, and it won't take him long to get in form.
I'm betting that he has a great game here.

There is no comparing these two teams.
The Rays have a better batting line-up than the Jays.
The Rays have better Starting pitchers than the Jays.
The Rays have a better Bullpen than the Jays.
The only thing the Jays have , is a better home-run park than the Rays.
Pena,Upton and Crawford should take advantage of that here.
On this day, Shields, is also much better than Litsch.

R.Halladay vs J Hammel

I actually have the pleasure of being in Toronto.
This presents me with the oportunity to have the best price on Toronto's loss.
With the Leafs and the Blue Jays being as bad as they are, its a constant money machine.
Lol @ the local's who called the Leafs the Stanley Cup champions early on this year.
Lol @ the locals who call Halladay the best pitcher in the world.
When was the last time this guy had a good season?
Halladay starting a game usually translates into 5-6 runs scored against the Jays.
Tampa Bay is superior and should win yet again.

Bet on the Tampa Bay Rays

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Chicago Cubs @ Colorado Rockies
R.Hill vs Morales

R.Hill is starting to remind me of R.Hill of last season.
Even with Soriano on the DL, this team is superior and should win with the pitching advantage.

Baltimore Orioles @ Seattle Mariners
D.Cabrera vs C.Silva

Cabrera has got some heat.
Should he have a good game, this one will be a tough one.
It is more than likely that he'll screw up though.
Silva has been dynamite and JJ Putz is back.
Should be a win for my rivals.

I know that thats what you meant.
There is no doubt, that at this time, Montreal would have gotten by the Capitols in 4-5 games.

Not too many people can see it as it is in white ink.
The only way that the Flyers can make this remotely close is by taking out a few stars of the Canadiens.
You certainly have a few players that are capable of intentionally injuring another.
Philadelphia will be outskated and outscored.

Only people's perceptions and money fixes this huge 6.5 point spread.
Phoinex may win one of these two home games, but you must take this spread when it is more than likely that not only should it be covered, but very possibly a straight out Spurs win.
