been a tough start for the second half which is why i havent posted.... been doing well as of late which means its time for me to post again...

for today i am playing a big play on the under in the cubs/pitsburg game.... i like the fact that despite that rodrigo lopez looks the part of a terrible pitcher he still threw a decent game just 3 weeks ago against these pirates in which he only gave up 3 runs on 8 hits...in fact that was the same matchup set for today with mcdonald on the hill.... mcdonald is by far the most consistent pirate pitcher on the staff and he holds a 2.83 era at his park.... coupled with the .212 lifetime era lopez hold against this current pirate lineup and we should see the same kind of game as we did in the 7/8 ..... lets just hope both pitchers go a little deeper and we dont have to depend on the bullpens..... another little tidbit is that lance barrett has already seen mcdonald this year in may so i will have to lean to the pirates here as well ...

i played it overnight at 9 under 20 yet i still think there is some value at 8.5 if you can find it

7**** under 8.5 cubs/pirates

3*** pirates -142
3*** twins/angels under 7
2** sf +122
2** under 6 phil/sf
