Gambling can be a fickle thing. Sometimes no matter how much research you do, the ball can bounce the wrong way, or someone can get hurt, and it affects the entire outcome of the game; costing (or making) you a lot of money. The smart thing to do is not panic, play the odds, and realize that in the long run, the only way to make money is to keep from going on tilt. It doesn't hurt to be a little lucky.
With only a few games pending (Arizona up 6-0), it looks like I'm going 4-4 with my picks today, and K7 went 2-2. We both needed some help from the White Sox in the ninth and got it, just barely reaching the total of 10-5 (6-5 final). Like I said, sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. The Brewers win streak finally ended, and Wandy Rod threw a gem. The runline bet was probably a little optimistic, but you have to roll while the team is hot. The Phillies sure dissappointed, as Brad Lidge came in in the ninth to contain a 1-0 deficit. He proceeded to give up a grand slam to Brian McCann en route to an 8 run ninth.
More importantly though, pj20 went 2-0 again on the "strong endorsements". I hope some of you followed the lead and put big money on Danny Haren (NL CY Young winner, calling it) and the Rays. That's 9 for the past 9 if you are keeping track at home. I was also on record for saying the Nationals were the best value of the day, I'm interested to see how that game finishes.
And I'm going to start putting a daily poll of the "Best Bets", so at least maybe we can see some kind of census in the picks. Today's winner (with a whopping 2 votes) - Phillies. Guh.
No betting advice this weekend, be back Monday.
