Another Swing

I will take another swing after the Angels ground out a win on no rest. That was 3 wins in 3 nights in 3 time zones. Nice work. The books made some money last night.

Astros at Cardinals
The Astros have averaged 8.1 total runs per game this year, and against Atlanta the totals were 15, 8, 10, and 13. The Cards have averaged 8.9 RPG total, and against the Padres the totals were 13, 8, 11. I know playoff games are a grind and we got the Cy Young winner-to-be on the mound, but I am going to play the stats.
Tmoney says OVER 7.5 +105

Angels at White Sox

Coming off the Steelers win, I need to get some money to work.  The Angels won a great game last night only to be rewarded with a glass of brut, a red-eye flight, and a matchup against Mr. Contreras.  Contreras delivered against the Red Sox in game 1 of the ALDS, extending his record to 12-2 since the All-star break and 10 wins in a row. The public is all over the Sox at -200 moneyline. I like the value of -1.5 at -105.
Tmoney says White Sox -1.5 (-105)

More Baseball

We went 1-1 yesterday as the White Sox crushed Boston, but the Angels laid an egg. I am going after 1 game today.

Red Sox at White Sox
The play is similar to yesterday. I think Buerhle is superior to Big Fat David Wells. The stats are simple - Buerhle went 10-2 with 2.48 ERA at home this year.  Wells is 42 and fat. The price looks attractive at -109.

Some Baseball for a Football Guy

I don't bet baseball during the regular season, but the playoffs are a reason to lay some jack on a Tuesday afternoon.

Red Sox at White Sox
The Red Sox were magical last year, but the playoffs are about pitching. Contreras has not lost since August 15 and is going for his 9th straight win today. He is 11-2 with a 2.96 ERA since the All-star break.  As it turns out, Clement grew up in my hometown of Butler, PA and we used to sell baseball cards together at the fleamarket in Lyndora.  Although I would like to see Matt win, Boston has only won 3 times in Clement's last 14 starts. Book the White version of the Sox on the moneyline.
Tmoney says White Sox -108 moneyline

Yankees at Angels
The Yanks had to fly cross country on Sunday instead of reading books at home. The Angels take 21 game winner Colon to the mound while the Yanks put up Mussina. Mussina has been shaky recently and they just don't know what they are going to get from him. I like the Angels to ride Big Daddy and the home energy to a win.
