Betting tips

[W.HI.P]

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Pittsburgh Pirates vs San Fransisco Giants
Maholm - Lincecum

lincecum is 10-2, with a 2.33 era.
he leads all the major leagues with 149 strike-outs.
his best has been of late.

Bet on the San Fransisco Giants

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kansas City Royals vs Tampa Bay Rays
Grienke - Shields

the royals have lost 7 of the last 10 that grienke has started in,
the rays are now 7 games over .500 after a slow start.
play-off teams play their best in the 2nd half of the season.

Bet on the Tampa Bay Rays

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

St.Louis Cardinals vs Arizona Diamondbacks
Carpenter - Garland

we're halfway through the season, and chris carpenter is still here.
his 0.87WHIP says a lot about how difficult it is to hit against this elite starter.

Bet on the St.Louis Cardinals

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Oakland A's vs LA Angels
Cahill - Saunders

i've had a lot of arguments about saunders this year.
lets not forget that there was a lot pressure on both saunders and jered weaver early on this season, as they we're the only 2 healthy starters that the angels had.
the pressure is now off, and saunders can prove how good he is.
i really like how he throws, and i believe that his career in the major leagues will be very bright.

Bet on the LA Angels

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

San Diego Padres vs Colorado Rockies
Geer - Jimenez

i've been watching ubaldo jimenez since he made his debut in the majors.
at 25, i can say that he's pitching his best stuff at this time.
his improvment has been consistent.
the rockies have an ace.

Bet on the Colorado Rockies

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

our record over the past while is 17-5.
lincecum pitched another gem, but the giants line-up only managed 1 run over 14 innings as the pirates won 2-1.
the rays beat the royals, although there were pitching changes before the game.
carpenter was perfect again as he keeps his bid on best starter of the year.
the a's beat the angels.
ubaldo jimenez got the win for colorado over the padres.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

chicago white sox vs baltimore orioles
buehrle - bergesen

bergesen suprised me, i didn't think he was that good.
imo, he's the best starting rookie out there.
the price on the orioles win is high.

bet on the baltimore orioles

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

oakland a's vs la angels
mazzaro - weaver

jered is now 10-3 with a 3.22 era and 1.12 whip.
he's just under a strike-out per inning.
better than the numbers would show, is the movement and velocity he puts on the ball.
weaver is one of the best starters in the game.

bet on the la angels

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

kansas city royals vs tampa bay rays
grienke - kazmir

so, a pitching change led to grienke's start moved on today.
i wrote yesturday about grienke's negative stats of late.
kazmir is a better pitcher than shields.
the price on the rays win is better than yesturdays.
the rays line-up is arguably the best in the major leagues.

bet on the tampa bay rays

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

the white sox beat the orioles in a close one.
the angels beat the a's.
the rays beat the royals.
bringing us to 19-6 since last page.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

toronto blue jays vs boston red sox
halladay - lester

halladay used to be such a sure thing for blue jays fans.
not of late.
the blue jays have lost 4 in a row in halladays last starts.
the jays are 2-6 in halladays last 8 starts.
toronto has already given the green light to trade him, however, the offers are less than expected by the blue jays managment.
they yankees offered nobody and nobody in exchange for halladay.
thats about as good as you're gonna get for a 32 year old has been.
the jays have decades of hard work and good moves ahead of them if they ever want to compete here against these giants of baseball.
one need only look at toronto's triple a and double a teams to see what the future has in store.
if you're a blue jays fan, change teams or prepare to be the worst of the worst for a very very long time.

btw, this halladay loss has a high price on it, again.

bet on the boston red sox

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

i'm kinda glad that the blue jays beat boston.
i got the yankees and the rays winning the division, so it helps when a small little team takes out the team thats threatening economical gain.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

chicago white sox vs tampa bay rays
floyd - price

check out the price on price.
better team better starter, better price.

bet on the tampa bay rays

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

philadelphia phillies vs chicago cubs
blanton - harden

the cubs are getting in back in gear with the return of ramirez.
look out for 3rd baseman fox to possibly catch for soto while he's out.
the cubs are clearly a better team than the phillies.
harden is better than blanton, so how is philadelphia the favorite.

bet on the chicago cubs

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

toronto blue jays vs clevland indians
cecil - lee

clevland has the worst record in the american league, but don't let that decieve you as the blue jays will take their place before long.
there is no comparing these teams on any level.
clevland has a better line-up.
clevland has a better pitching staff.
with betancourt back, clevland has a better bull-pen than the jays.
how the hell is lee the underdog against cecil.
jump all over this game.

bet on the clevland indians

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

the blue jays lost as did the cubs.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

toronto blue jays vs clevland indians
romero - pavano

this clevland win has a very high price on it.
sure romero looks good out there, but we're still talking about the worst team in baseball jays.
as i said yesturday, the indians are superior on every level.

bet on the clevland indians

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

atlanta braves vs san fransisco giants
jurrjens - lincecum

two amazing pitchers in a pitcher friendly park means a low scoring game.
no matter how much i like jurrjens, he's no lincecum.
the giants are the underdogs here.

bet on the san fransisco giants

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

houston astros vs st.louis cardinals
oswalt - carpenter

i had to give this game a lot of thought.
oswalt has looked really good out there of late.
the astros line-up without any doubt whatsoever, is superior to the cardinals.
i have to go with carpenter though as he's capable of pitching a complete game shut-out.
more than capable, it seems as though it will happen pretty soon.

bet on the st.louis cardinals

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

chicago white sox vs tampa bay rays
buehler - kazmir

kazmir looked good out there over the weekend.
i have no doubts about this guy and what he's capable of.
this team can score, they can manufacture runs, and there is no weak spot in the line-up all the way through.
they're gonna have a tough time catching up to the yankees, but the wild card spot should be pretty easy for this team.

bet on the tampa bay rays

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

arizona diamondbacks vs pittsburgh pirates
haren - morton

the pirates are starting to score some runs lately, and its not come by chance as the players doing the scoring are young guys.
due to haren pitching for the very weak diamondacks, the pirates win has a very large price on it, take it.

bet on the pittsburgh pirates

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

la angels vs minnesota twins
weaver - baker

the angels are on fire, winning 9 of their last 10.
the angels have scored 9 runs or more in 8 games this month.
weaver won't require that many runs to win this game, but he'll probably get them anyways. easy bet.

bet on the la angels

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

the angels just tied it up in the bottom of the 9th, but oh my......i have no intention of bringing down this baseball seasons percentage.
we're gonna make some money tonight, with 2 heavy underdog, high-paying games that are gonna happen.....

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

toronto blue jays vs tampa bay rays
halladay - garza

its been very profitable betting against halladay.
since late may, we've won 6 very high paying bets in where the jays lost with halladay.
there is still a green light from the blue-jays to trade halladay.
although they won't be getting much more than the 15 million they won't be paying him every year.
lets not forget, he's 32, and past his prime.
it would be a blessing if the blue-jays can get rid of him, although the fans won't see it that way.

top of the 1st, bases loaded, nobody out, american league home-run leader pena up to bat....halladay either walks in the run, or pena hits a grand slam home-run .....this scenario is still in play for this season

reality behind these two teams this season.
the rays have the team to compete for a shot at the world series for the 2nd year in a row.
the jays will most likely finish in last place overall in the american league.

too high of a price on the halladay loss that comes more often than not.

bet on the tampa bay rays


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

boston red-sox vs baltimore orioles
penny - bergesen

22 year old bergesen looks really good out there.
most people see him as the orioles best starter.
the red-sox have lost their last 5 games in where their weak line-up has not been able to score more than 3 runs in any of them.
the price on the orioles win is way way way too high for this very predictable red-sox loss.

bet on the baltimore orioles


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

kansas city royals vs texas rangers
hochevar - holland

i like what i see from hochevar out there.
he's had some heavy tests of late, which he shined in.
the royals can win this game.

bet on the kansas city royals

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

colorado rockies vs san fransisco giants
de la rosa vs sanchez

these are two of the best strike-out artists in the game.
each can get hurt, and yet, each have the ability to absolutely dominate a game if they find their grove.
i can't neglect the complete game shut-out sanchez had a couple games ago, which has public perception ranking sanchez higher.
de la rosa has looked really really good out there at times, and seems capable of dominating a line-up like the giants.


bet on the colorado rockies

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

toronto blue jays vs tampa bay rays
tallet - price

earlier this month, price beat the jays allowing the jays 1 run.
i can't see how this elite pitcher can get hurt here.
the last time tallet pitched against tampa, the rays line-up beat tallet up, scoring 8 runs in 3 innings.
i can't see how that will change much today.

bet on the tampa bay rays

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

a perfect day as all 3 bets won.

i forgot to mention toronto's 7th loss in the last 10 that halladay has started in.
hopefully, that was the doc's final start for the jays.
he'll do well in the national league i'm sure.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

toronto blue jays vs tampa bay rays
cecil - niemann

i keep posting these games cause they're kinda funny..
whats funny about them is, in this city, they're always offering toronto as the favorite.
the rays are 8-1 vs the jays so far this season.
whats really sad about the jays is their line-up, who are batting below .200 since they were in 1st place in baseball.
since late-may,the jays are 17 games below .500 and the the rays, 18 games above .500.
the difference between these two teams is the greatest difference you'll ever see in the major leagues.
the best team in baseball vs the worst team in baseball.

bet on the tampa bay rays

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

st.louis cardinals vs la dodgers
carpenter - wolf

the dodgers have a pretty good line-up... the cardinals, even upgraded with holliday, can't compare.
the pitching in this one makes the difference.

bet on the st.louis cardinals

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

tampa bay rays vs ny yankees
shields - burnett

clash of the titans.
easily the two best teams in baseball.[this, from an angels fan 58 - 39
both teams should do well at home in this series.

bet on the tampa bay rays

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

seattle mariners vs toronto blue jays
hernandez - romero

i'm guilty of not mentioning felix much in this thread.
the man is top of the line.
when i say top of the line, i mean up there amongst chris carpenter, tim lincecum, johan santana.
the thing about felix, is that he's only 23 and his best is yet to come.
romero has not reached his potential either, but he's leagues behind.

bet on the seattle mariners

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

seattle mariners vs toronto blue jays
rowland Smith - halladay

this is a blind bet.
halladay has given the jays 5 losses in his last 6 starts.
every game he starts in, he's the odds on favorite.
are torontonians that stupid to keep betting on him.
this should be roy's last start in a jays uniform.

bet on the seattle mariners

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

halladay lost for the jays, making him 1-6 over his last 7 starts.

nfl superbowl [2010]

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
new england patriots 6.00
the whole world thought they knew.
they didn't, i did.
i still know.

bad bet
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
pittsburgh steelers 11.00
just like the patriots, on the downfall.

bad bet
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
new york giants 11.00
the team is elite, no doubt.
the division could not be tougher though.

possible future bet
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
indianapolis colts 13.00
i'm a fan of peyton, but this is not the same colts team as a few years back.

bad bet
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
san diego chargers 13.00
at worst the chargers will win 11 games this season.
a true contender, without competition within the division.
this team will find time to rest later in the season.

good bet
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
philadelphia eagles 13.00
i'm well aware that the eagles can put up points, but overall, i will be very suprised if this team manages to contend in this division.
i am an eagles fan, but this is not a good bet.

bad bet
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
chicago bears 21.00
this is actually a good bet.
outside the nfc east, this is the only team in the nfc that looks capable of taking on a team from the east.

good bet
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
baltimore ravens 21.00
the attack has not improved.

bad bet
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
carolina panthers 21.00
a well run team, but would not be able to compete with the superior teams of the nfc east.

bad bet
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
dallas cowboys 21.00
despite being in this very tough division, the cowboys seem capable of competing to a respectable win loss record.
however my money will not be on this team much away from home.
dallas is gonna need a lot of wins this season to have some kind of home advantage, otherwise, this team will not progress.

possible future bet
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
new orlean saints 21.00
the team is improved.
but to compare this team with the east is silly.

bad bet
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
tennessee titans 21.00
your perception of this team is wrong.
their defence is mediocre[reality check]

bad bet
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
minnesota vikings 21.00
adrian peterson is one to watch in awe.
overall, can't compete with the teams from the east.

bad bet
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
green bay packers 26.00
not such a bad team, they'll suprise this season.
again though, its silly when comparing to the east.

bad bet
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
atlanta falcons 26.00

what an attack this team has.
a very exciting season this will be for falcons fans

good bet
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
arizona cardinals 26.00
weak division, easy task, but it truly is silly to compare this team to a team from the nfc east.

bad bet
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
houston texans 34.00
it might require one more year, they may consider drafting.
but if they don't go for the draft, don't be all suprised when this team surpasses the falling colts and titans.

possible future bet
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
washington redskins 34.00
this defence was elite last season
the addition of haynsworth upfront and center has made this defence, prime in the nfl.

good bet
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
seattle seahawks 34.00
they offer this low price on this wek team because they play in a weak division.

bad bet .....its actually a stupid bet
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
jacksonville jaguars 34.00

this is the team that could have competed last season, but chose to draft.
this is a good team.
with the colts and titans falling, and houston and the rise, the jaguars have a path for a huge upset this season.
no one's gonna see this coming.

good bet
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
new york jets 41.00
this team will be competing soon, but not quite yet.

bad bet
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
miami dolphins41.00
this team has strategically been built and will compete.
huge price.

good bet
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
buffalo bills 51.00
the team isn't that good, but its not as bad as they're saying.

bad bet
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
kansas city chiefs 51.00
i can't help but say somthing bad about the chiefs managment.
i mean, first the hilarious larry johnson contract.
and now the even more funny cassel contract.
this team is finished.
it'll take 12-13 years to rebuild this mess.

bad bet
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
oakland raiders 126.00

the chargers are superior, but the rest of the teams in the division chiefs and broncos are weak, 2nd place is open.
easy schedule.
possible wildcard game at this price...i'm in.

good bet
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
the 49ers, bucs, broncos, bengals, browns, rams and lions pay between 51.00 - 151.00, but will see none of my coins despite their high profitablity.

[Mac_The_Handicapper]

Good Stuff, W.HI.P

I'm looking at the same picks.

Check your PM sir.
