I like 4 games today. Have had a good lil run over the past 2 days so these might be great fades. The games I like are.

San Diego Padres (No Line Yet)
Houston Astros +170
Tampa Bay Rays -1.5 (+140)
Houston/Milwaukee OVER 8.5 (+100)

The Tampa Bay and the Houston/Milwaukee are system based but the Astros and Padres are mere hunches and to avoid a sweep.

Today's Play:

Houston/Milwaukee OVER 8.5 (+100)
 
I've seen a lot of people hedging toward Houston today. Might have to jump on the bandwagon.


I'm sure most are in the same boat I am. Milwaukee is an ok team but not an elite team. The main reason though is avoiding the sweep. I am sure most people that are playing Houston are on it for that reason, I know that is the only reason I am looking.

Note though that the only official play here is the Houston/Milwaukee OVER. I also have a play on the Tampa RL but that's another story.
 
After the Bourn trade, Milwaukee is probably the pick now. The Astros were totally lost when Pence left the game Friday. I can just imagine what they are thinking now. Myers is starting today, and who's to say he won't get pulled in the middle of the game due to being traded?
 
how do like a side without knowing what the price will be?

I assumed the Padres would have been a slight dog. Even if I had figured them to be a small favorite I still liked the Padres. However I didn't give them out as a play nor did I bet hem personally. I only gave out The Houston/Milwaukee OVER as a play and I only played that and the Tampa RL.

Durito I look at price ONLY after I choose my games. Price is ONLY a factor if it turns out to be too high to be worth the risk so it's easy to like a team before you know the price.
