Betting tips

[W.HI.P]

felix hernandez obviously did his part, shutting out the white sox, recording 10 k's.
its 0-0 in the bottom of the 13th with the mariners at bat, but i can't wait around till it ends to post the result.

boston red sox vs detroit tigers
buchholz - verlander

there's something really interesting going on with justin verlander.
i've been watching him very closely since he began in the majors.
after proving to be the elite to come, he then struggled a little.
his struggling was due to learning new things.
well...he's learned some very important things, and i believe that he's half a step away froim being one of the most dominating pitchers in baseball. one stat to take note of this season, is his 186 strike-outs in 159.1 innings.

[W.HI.P]

so seattle ended up winning 1-0 in the bottom of the 14th the other night.
verlander shut down this mediocre red sox line-up as the tigers won 2-0.

tampa bay rays vs toronto blue jays
shields - halladay

when halladay pitches for the jays, the price of the jays win is microscopic.
the price of the jays loss is enormous.
fact : anyone who has bet against halladay over his past 9 starts has won 7 times.
fact : i've given all 7 here on the cellar.

i have nothing against halladay, its not a personal thing.
those who have read the thread over this baseball season, have been fed in depth information about how weak this blue-jays team is.

now, if you have been reading this thread since the begining of last season, you've been fed in depth information on how good this rays team is.

lets give some fantasty value to this tip.
i participate in 12 leagues.
i'm competiting for 1st place in 9 of them.
in 5 of them, there is no competition.
in the 12th one i drafted, it is mathematically impossible to lose at this time.
obviously amongst the highest ranked teams on yahoo.

now, if i owned both halladay and shields, i would not start halladay against the rays, but i would start shields against the jays, especially in tampa, where the rays are 20-5 over their past 25 home games.

fact : the rays are the fastest team of all time

halladay managed his 3rd win in his past 10 games.

ny mets vs san fransisco giants
cain - santana

cain advanced faster than i thought he would.
he's pitching at a very high level.
i never thought i would be considering the giants, a candidate for the play-offs, but they are.
lincecum and cain easily make the best 1-2 in the major leagues.

on the other hand, johan santana is simply too consistent every season around this time.
he can be as dominating as a pitcher can be.
having followed his career very closely, i can only expect him to get more shut-outs [he's had 3 since mid-july]

for this particular match-up, despite the giants being in a pennant race, and the mets looking towards next year, due to the injuries of reyes and beltran, i'll still have to go with johan santana with what i've seen of late.

texas rangers vs minnesota twins
hunter - liriano

hunter looks pretty good out there, but i'm not so sure he'll last that long facing this very good line-up.
liriano is not trustworthy at this time, but the price is too high to not consider this a wise bet.

toronto blue jays vs tampa bay rays
halladay - niemann

the jays are 3-7 over halladays last 10 starts.
he pitches against an amazing rays line-up.
suprise suprise, niemann can pitch.
the jays line-up is probably the weakest in the major leagues.

la angels vs detroit tigers
weaver - verlander

i've got nothing against verlander, he is by far, detroit's greatest starter.
there is no comparisson between these line-ups.
the angels are truly elite now with everyone healthy.
weaver has won 8 of his last 9.
i did not expect such a high price on the angels win.

toronto blue jays vs tampa bay rays
rzepczynski - kazmir

these teams are as far apart as 2 baseball teams could be.
the rays, with the win today will get another sweep of the jays.

seattle mariners vs kansas city royals
fister - davies

in fister's limited starts in the majors, he's looked quite impressive.
my bet is that he continues to look good against this royals line-up.
