    Was the FIX in at Wyoming?

    Conspiracy theorists that saw the end of that game certainly have some live ammunition to support their beliefs! This was posted by someone else on another site, but I think he hits the nail on the head perfectly: Now don't get me wrong, I like to believe that games are never fixed and it...

    Diamondbacks/Giants - 5/27/04

    DIAMONDBACKS/GIANTS OVER 9 ?120 - While much has been made of the struggles of these two offenses, you may be surprised to know that the Over is 24-21 in all Arizona games and 22-18 in all San Francisco games this year. I think that both teams will be able to put up runs tonight given this...

    Twins/Devil Rays - 5/26/04

    TAMPA BAY DEVIL RAYS +110 - Break up the Devil Rays! Tampa Bay has now won 5 consecutive games, and a win tonight would match the longest winning streak in team history. While I know that this will not last, they still offer some decent value here as a home underdog in their current form...

    Brewers/Pirates - 5/22/04

    PITTSBURGH PIRATES +135 - I am keeping my selection from Friday, as the same starting pitchers are going today following that rainout. I know that Ben Sheets is coming off of the best game of his life, but because of that I feel that we are now getting nice value on a pesky Pirate club at home...

    Brewers/Pirates - 5/21/04

    PITTSBURGH PIRATES +135 - I know that Ben Sheets is coming off of the best game of his life, but because of that I feel that we are now getting nice value on a pesky Pirate club at home. Besides, Sheets can only go in one direction here, as it is virtually impossible for him to improve on that...

    Giants/Cubs - 5/18/04

    SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS +115 - I know that these clubs are heading in opposite directions, but I will take the contrarian route here and back the Giants as an underdog with their ace on the hill. Schmidt has the stuff to be the best pitcher in the National League when he is on, and he has now...

    Red Sox/Blue Jays - 5/15/04

    RED SOX/BLUE JAYS Over 10.5 ?105 - These clubs have gone Over in each of the first two games of this series, and there should be some more fireworks in store here today with a couple of gas cans on the hill! Arroyo returns to the Boston rotation taking the spot of the demoted Kim, but there was...

    Mets/Diamondbacks - 5/12/04

    NEW YORK METS +165 - This inflated line is based more on reputation than anything else, as these pitchers are not separated by all that much statistically so far for the Diamondbacks to merit being such big favorites. Johnson is just 3-3, but he has his offense to blame for not having a better...

    Mariners/Twins - 5/11/04

    SEATTLE MARINERS +125 - No one could have imagined Carlos Silva being this big of a favorite over Joel Pineiro before this season started, but Silva is off to a 5-0 start with a 3.43 ERA while Pineiro is struggling along at 1-4 with a whopping 7.60 ERA. However, this is simply a case where I...

    Padres/Marlins - 5/9/04

    PADRES/MARLINS Under 7 +100 - While this seems like a low total at first glance, this is actually a match-up of two of the best young pitchers in the National League, and pitching in this spacious ballpark should certainly help to keep the scoring down. Beckett is coming off of a tough-luck...

    Twins/Mariners - 5/5/04

    TWINS/MARINERS Under 9 ?105 - These clubs were only able to put up 7 runs in 16 innings last night, and I am looking for another struggle here tonight. Pineiro has always pitched much better at home than on the road, and this year is no exception. Yes, he got bombed allowing double digit hits in...

    Giants/Mets - 5/4/04

    GIANTS/METS Over 8.5 +100 - Brett Tomko continues to get lit up for the Giants, as he now has a 7.57 ERA with a horrible 1.72 ratio, and he has recorded just 1 Quality Start out of 5 starts this season. He has not been terribly effective vs. the Mets either, posting a 5.51 ERA with a 1.53 ratio...

    Athletics/Devils Rays - 5/2/04

    ATHLETICS/DEVIL RAYS Over 8.5 ?115 - These clubs put up 11 runs last night, and I like them to sail Over this relatively low total today. The A?s beat up on the Tampa Bay bullpen yesterday, and they may get another early crack at them given that the D-Rays send Hendrickson to the hill. Mark has...

    Expos/Dodgers - 5/1/04

    EXPOS/DODGERS Under 7.5 ?125 - Livan Hernandez has actually pitched very well in the first month of the season, but he has little to show for it due to the anemic Montreal offense. Hernandez is just 1-2 on the year despite being a perfect 4 for 4 in Quality Starts and owning a fine 3.00 ERA and...

    Marlins/Giants - 4/29/04

    FLORIDA MARLINS +100 - The defending World Champion Marlins currently own the best record in baseball at 14-7, which in itself makes them a fine investment at this price vs. the 9-13 Giants. Penny has begun the season with 4 consecutive Quality Starts, and he has an outstanding 2.36 ERA and 1.01...

    Cubs/Diamondbacks - 4/27/04

    CUBS/DIAMONDBACKS Over 9 +105 - The Diamondbacks may have trouble scoring runs on the road, but they have had no such troubles here at home, where they are averaging 5.80 runs per game and have a .293 team batting average vs. right-handed pitching. Arizona has scored a total of 21 runs on 26...

    Mariners/Orioles - 4/26/04

    MARINERS/ORIOLES Under 9.5 ?125 - The Orioles are very high on Matt Riley, who began this season by allowing a total of 2 earned runs in 13.1 innings over his first 2 starts. Tampa Bay hit Riley very hard in his last outing however, so this start tonight should give a good indication of his...

    Phillies/Expos - 4/24/04

    PHILLIES/EXPOS Over 8.5 ?125 - The Phils won a wild 8-6 shootout here last night, and considering the current form of the starting pitchers today, these clubs may reach double digits in runs again. Randy Wolf is perennially a slow starter, and this year is no exception. He has a 5.51 ERA with a...

    Marlins/Phillies - 4/22/04

    PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES ?120 - The Phils have dropped the first 2 games of this series, but today they face the weakest link in the Marlins rotation. Oliver has a 4.85 ERA, and he is coming off of a rough outing vs. Atlanta where he allowed 5 earned runs and 8 hits in 6 innings. He has also had...
