Wednesday's Play--A Little Juicy, But....

I believe it is a winner.

First the re-cap. Lost with the Cubs last night as Joel Pineiro of all people threw a complete game 3 hitter. That my friends is why they call it gambling. Anything can happen in a baseball game. I am now 6-2 for my last 8 plays.

For Wednesday, this is about as high as I go in terms of juice that I am willing to lay. I like the Tigers -155 to the Rangers. Here's why:

The Rangers, who are likely without their best player, Josh Hamilton, send lefty Matt Harrison to the mound. The Tigers are batting .271 against lefties this year. Harrison has pitched well this year. Or has he ? He is 4-2 with a 4.23 ERA, a 1.37 WHIP and a .276 batting average against. Decent numbers, but nothing great. He is 2-1 on the road this year with a 4.56 ERA and a .290 batting average against. He faced the Tigers once earlier this year and was hammered (6.35 ERA, 2.469 WHIP and a .391 batting average against). If you look at what he's done in May (15 hits and only 1 walk in 23 innings with a 0.78 ERA) you'd think he was Sandy Koufax. Well, keep in mind that he did that against the bottom-feeders (in terms of hitting) in the AL, facing the White Sox twice and the Mariners. The Tigers bat .288 at home, and over the past 7 days, they are batting an awesome .320 (2nd in the AL). Matt Harrison, with his career ERA of 5.05, gets tagged tonight.

Meanwhile, the Tigers start righty Justin Verlander. My friends, he is "in the zone" right now. On the year he is 3-2 with a 4.29 ERA, a 1.19 WHIP and a .225 batting average against. Against the Rangers this year he is 0-0 with a 1.80 ERA and a .105 batting average against. At home this season Verlander HAS been Sandy Koufax, with a 2-0 record, a 0.95 ERA and a .157 batting average against. For the month of May (last 3 starts), he is 2-0 with a 1.21 ERA and a .122 batting average against. In his last 22.1 innings (the month of May), he has allowed only 9 hits with, get ready, THIRTY-FIVE (35) strikeouts !! In fact, he leads the AL in strikeouts with 69. For his entire career against Texas he is 4-1 with a 2.23 ERA and a 1.21 WHIP. The Rangers are batting only .241 on the road this year (2nd worst in the AL), and over the past 7 days, they are batting a miserable .223. Verlander will be wheelin' and dealin' tonight.

Heavy juice I know, but there's a reason for that. The Tigers win easily tonight.

Wednesday's play is the Tigers -155 to the Rangers.

thanks agent. You too.

I also really liked the under 8 in the Braves/Rockies, but I have learned my lesson, and would not dare post another under play. LOL

Good Luck
was never a fan of chase systems, but I hope it works out for both of us.

Who knew that the Lizard King, Jim Morrison, had a baseball betting system too. Go figure
