Thursday Night is Poker Night

Let's see if I can come up with some distractions after I fold my hands.

San Diego Padres +104 (Matchbook), 1 unit to win 1.04 units.

On one side, we've got Clay Hensley. On the other, Yoslan Herrera. On the one side, we've got 40% of the public. On the other side, 60%. What say we put our money on the Hensley/40% side?

Milwaukee Brewers -120 (Matchbook), 1.2 units to win 1 unit.


Here we've got Ben Sheets going against a team and a player that are worse than advertised. Wellemeyer started hot but has been mediocre at best for the last month or two, so his decent ERA and other surface numbers are misleading. Same goes for the Cards: they're 57-46, but their third-order record (rounded) is 51-52. Rare chance to play an ace, which is good for our sanity.
