Diamondbacks(Arizona) (Ortiz)
Astros(Houston) (Pettitte) 05/18/05 (20:05 ET)
Astros(Houston) -140
I love Andy Pettite now that he is with the 'stros. He always gives you 6 solid innings and with Ensberg, Biggio, Tavares and even Lane getting hot - I like this team at home against an overrated Diamondbacks team. I should have taken this for 6 units instead of 4. This is my pick of the day.

Braves(Atlanta) (Ramirez)
Padres(SanDiego) (Eaton) 05/18/05 (15:35 ET)
Padres(SanDiego) -125
The Braves seem like another bloated squad when away from home. Chipper back at 3rd is like me catching. Haracio Ramirez is topping at out 86 and the Pad's have been on a roll lately. Dr. Dave is starting to hit and Klesko and Nevin are understanding their role. The Braves are dangerous so I only went with 2 units.

Orioles(Baltimore) (Chen)
Royals(KansasCity) (Carrasco) 05/18/05 (20:05 ET)
Orioles(Baltimore) -175
When the Orioles get hot, the O's stay hot. This year anyway that seems to be the case. I look for them to pound the Royals the rest of the way. The Royals would have a hard time being a good Minor League team. The new guys in the line-up, though some say are going to hurt us, will keep us hot for a couple weeks. Look for a big game out of Raffy staying hot and the new guys. This isn't the greatest bet because of the -175 but it's better than anything else I saw on the board.
BTW I stay away from betting the following teams - Mets (just because they are the hapless fuckin Mets), Phils (could wake up at any time), Marlins (unless it's the Dtrain or Beckett), Drays (dangerous young team that will get better if they dont quit, I bet against them when CJ catches - he's worth 2 runs for the other team), Nationals (who knows what this awful team will do), Dodgers (3rd in the league in runs?? - - yeah Until JD Drew remembers he's not at Fla St. anymore.)
If you saw last night's wagers you know I didn't do so hot. I finished down $350. Fucking Minnesota! But I'm back tonight and I'm still above water.
