Saturday's Play--Sometimes You Just Have To Say...

[Keith]

"lay it pal."

First the re-cap, won with the Rangers last night, making me 8-3 for my last 11. I had a big fave earlier this week which won easily, and today's play will as well. For Saturday I really like the D'backs -150 to the A's. Here's why:

The D'backs start Dan Haren. Damn this guy is sooooo good. He is 3-4 on the year, but with a 2.09 ERA, a .193 batting average against and an awesome WHIP of 0.86. In 56 innings, he has allowed only 39 hits and 9 walks, with 56 strikeouts. On the road this year he is 1-1 with a 2.25 ERA and a .227 batting average against. For his career against the A's he is 1-0 with a 1.29 ERA and a 0.714 WHIP.

Meanwhile the A's start perennial loser Edgar Gonzalez. They'd be better off with Edgar Winter. He is making his season debut bascially because the A's have no one else. In Triple A Sacramento this year he was 3-2, but with a 5.22 ERA, a 1.61 WHIP and a .300 batting average against. In his last 3 Triple A starts, he went 15.2 innings and allowed, get ready, 25 hits and 7 walks. THAT should tell you how bad the A's staff is, that this clown gets the call-up. For his entire major league career he is 14-21 with a 5.97 ERA. This guy sucks. Big time.

Saturday's play is the Diamondbacks -150 to the A's.

Sources have it that the A's did contact Edgar Winter and although he was up for the challenge he felt that the long trip from Oakland to Syracuse for tomorrow's gig would be too taxing.

nice pick:
Haren’s 2.09 ERA is the fourth-best in the National League and the fifth best in baseball, and his 0.86 WHIP is the better than any pitcher’s in the game – better than Johan Santana, better than Zack Greinke, better than Roy Halladay. He’s also got a remarkable 56-9 strikeout-to-walk ratio.

Dbacks are the play, my friend. Hit that shit!

(Baseball System) PLAY AGAINST all underdogs with a money line of +125 to +175 (Oakland), who are below average AL hitting team ( BA .265 or less), against a solid NL starting pitcher with 3.70 or less ERA, who is batting .250 or worse over their last 20 games. For your holiday wagering entertainment, this system is 35-6, 85.4 percent.

Just thought i'd drop by the neighborhood again..

he'd only be a slightly better choice than his brother Johnny, who truly looks like he passed away 5 years ago, but still goes out there and plays.

LOL

thanks to everyone for all the kind words. Hope to keep it going. Of course wish everyone a great (and safe) holiday weekend.

For the record, I got the D'backs at -150.
