MLB + Preseason NFL 8/14
Yesterdays Recap- Pretty slow day yesterday, and i really didnt bet many units. Was 1-2 overall, and down 2 units total. I did have a nice easy hit on the Phillies game, which is always nice. My YTD total is up 5.41 units.
Im going to throw in a couple preseason football games today, and see how that works out for me. Ive never really bet too many preseason games, but a buddy of mine gave me some nice advice in picking some winners! Kind of in a hurry today, so the write ups wont be as long as normal.
Boston Red Sox @ Texas Rangers- To me this line is ridiculous! Im not saying the Rangers are a "lock" by any means, but i dont know how they can be this big of a dog. Kevin Millwood is having a solid year, and has a 2.57 ERA in his last three starts, but thats not why i love this game. I know Lester has had a pretty decent year, but i dont think he will change this trend. The Rangers have OWNED the Red Sox this season winning 4 in a row and 5 of 6 on the year including a sweep in Texas. They have also won 5 of their last seven with the red sox losing 7 of their last 10.
~ Texas Rangers +130; Bet 2 units to win 2.6.
Houston Astros @ Milwaukee Brewers- This will be a quick write up because its pretty much a play on just the pitcher for the Astros. Rodriguez has been stiffling his opponets all year, and won this very same matchup vs Gallardo last week. This should be a very low scoring game, so you might want to parlay the under if your feeling a little crazy.
~Astros +119; Bet 2 units to win 2.38
Minn. Vikings @ Indy Colts- I played both of my NFL plays today based on QB depth, and whos really fighting for a job! This is a test trial so i would tread lightly. The Viking have a pretty deep staff at the QB position, and all three of them have something to prove. They will start with Rosenfels, then Jackson, and finish off with John David Booty. Also the Colts will only play Peyton 1 or 2 series at most, then have to ride with Sorgi and some other stiff.
~Vikings -1, Bet 2.2 Units to win 2
Denver Broncos @ San Fran 49ers- Pretty much the same concept, except with a minor twist. The Broncos are very thin at QB, and they are throwing out a brand new qb in Orton, and also dont have their #1 receiver. This will be a learning game for Denver for sure. On the other hand Shaun Hill and Alex "small hands" Smith are having an intense battle for the starting gig. Hill will lead off with Alex coming in prob during the second quarter. There will then be a battle for the 3rd qb job with Huard facing off with Ball State stand out Nate Davis. This should be an interesting preseason for the 49ers with all those unanswered questions still looming.
~49ers -2.5; Bet 2.2 Units to win 2
Good Luck and Good Night
