Back to winning - WAY more fun

I thought I had some good research today, and 4-1 surely justifies it for me (+400 units). Hitting the Strong Endorsement was the key, but Oswalt sure had to work for it. An Adam Dunn granny to take a 4-3 lead seriously got the adrenaline flowing, and I was still at work watching it on the damn online baseball package. A win is a win though, and the Astros held on 5-4.

All three games where I recommended the total (TB/Tor, Pit/Col, Atl/Stl) hit, and all of them relatively easily. I saw the action on the Colorado game was moving towards game-time, but different books had different prices. I bet we see an 11.5 tomorrow. The Texas/Sea game, which I said to stay away from, actually received 2 votes for the under.

Mark Buehrle ended his run of impressive pitching, which is almost more of a testament to the Twins, as it is to how well Buehrle has been pitching. The Twins have been playing extremely well over the past month, yet nobody really seems to be talking about them. Very interesting, hopefully the oddsmakers are not taking notice either.

The reason I put the Yankees and the Dodgers in a different style today was because I thought they were both going to win, but I didn't think the price associated with the game represented good value. I threw out a few stats just to discuss the possibility. I considered runlines, but really those games are best to stay away from.

Thanks everyone for the feedback today, I really appreciate it. If you think I am out of my mind with any of these picks, I absolutely want to hear about it. Feel free to post a comment, or send me an email petejohnson20@gmail.com.
