Friday Night Potpourri

A random sampling from a couple of different sports.

MLB

The Wednesday night and Thursday picks were awfully frustrating. Yesterday, we lost 3 one-run games (2 in the 9th inning), plus in another game we lost our starting pitcher (Shields) in the 2nd inning (idiot). Hopefully, that garbage is over, gonna keep playing 'em the same way. Three for tonight, all lines from Matchbook:

Mariners +141, 1 unit to win 1.41 units

Grover would roll over in his grave if he knew I was playing Seattle. OK, he's out of town, not dead, but you get my meaning. George Costanza called and told me to do the opposite, so here we go. Really good number for King Felix. Don't trust Big Bartolo yet, and the M's have hit him well in the past. Maybe Manny and Youk will be too busy fighting to focus at the plate.

Twins +170, 1 unit to win 1.70 units

Blackburn pitching very well this season. Vazquez is also, but he's not the one getting +170.

Cubs +113, 1 unit to win 1.13 units

No team is hotter than the Cubs right now. Dodgers just cannot seem to get the offense going without Furcal. It's amazing how impotent they have been. Like Grover after about 15 beers. I mean, so I've heard...


College World Series

Cal State Fullerton -135, 0.68 units to win 0.50 units

Still keeping the bets small until we get a little further into the tournament. I like Fullerton to perform a little better in all phases tonight at home.


And, since Grover won't see a computer until Monday, one for the ladies.....

WNBA

New York Liberty -6, 1.1 units to win 1 unit

Underdogs of 12 or more, and home faves between -2.5 and -7 or so. That's how to bet the WNBA. There, I've given away the secret. Enjoy. I'm so ashamed of myself.

Back tomorrow, hopefully with some Euro Cup action. Good luck everybody.
