Thursday Results

3-1-0 (-0.41 units)

Friday Plays

Florida Marlins +118 for Game (3)
Oakland Athletics -126 for Game (1.5)
Texas Rangers +177 for Game (3)

I will probably only have dial up internet for the next 2 days. May or may not post plays. Back on Sunday.

Added Play
New York Mets +142 for Game

Update: I have good internet so picks should continue as usual.

Wednesday Results and Thursday Plays

3-3-0 (+2.44 units)

Thursday MLB
Arizona Diamondbacks +168 for Game (.5)
- I expect a 5in play on Arizona
Tampa Bay Devil Rays +100 for Game
Boston Red Sox +145 for Game (3)

I don’t understand the Boston line at all. The Yankees were -107 with Clemens pitching, but now they’re at -150 with Wang pitching against Schilling. So once again, another game of Wang pitching, another bet against the Yankees.

Added Play
Arizona Diamondbacks +150 for 1st 5 Innings (.5)

Site “Upgrade”

I stole the scoreboard from MLB.com and put it on the right side. I got tired of going back and forth from my picks to the scoreboard on MLB.com or Yahoo! Sports, so I spent a few hours going through the code and implementing it here.

I have noticed that the links don’t work as of now, but I’ll worry about that another time.
