LAA E SANTANA

DET J VERLANDER

#917 Angels +155 (1*) (BetUs)

Justin Verlander tries to win his seventh straight decision and stop a three-game Detroit losing streak as the Tigers take on the Angels at Comerica Park on Friday night. The Angels tagged Verlander for 7 runs and 9 hits, in just 5 IP back in late April, & for his career Verlander is (0-2) with a 6.08 ERA in 4 starts vs the Angels. Since that game he got rocked by the Angels in late April, Verlander is 6-0 with a 1.30 ERA in seven starts, striking out 65 in 48 1-3 innings. Very impressive numbers indeed, & I have backed him on a few occasions during this stretch, but tonihgt I feel confident in going against him, vs this Angels team, he has struggled against. The Angels send out Ervin Santana tonight, & he has been terrible his L/2 starts, & this will keep almost everyone from backing him & the Angels tonight. However, Santana won all three of his starts against the Tigers last year with a 2.38 ERA. That past success vs Detroit, should give Ervin some much needed confidence going into tonights game, & the Angles have had great success vs Verlander in the past: (Abreu 4-9 .444 1 HR) (Vladdy 5-9 .556 1 2B) (Hunter 7-23 .304 2 2B's 1 3B) (Izturis 3-9 .333) (Mathews Jr. 4-8 .500 1 2B 1 3B) Chone Figgins has struggled vs Veralnder (1-11 .091) but as a whole, this group of Angels excels off JV, & thats a mental edge for the Angels tonight. Clearly, this will not be a popular play tonight, & thats just fine with me. I see some definte value with this play tonight, & Detroit slugger Miguel Cabrera could miss this game due to a hamstring injury, that forced him to leave last night's game in the 2nd inning. Curtis Granderson is (4-20 .200) career vs Santana & 3B Brandon Inge is just (3-19 .158). The Angels are 11-4 their L/15 vs Detroit & I really think the Angels are about to get it going as they are finally a healthy ballclub. Detroit has lost 5 straight at home & the Angels have won 7 of their L/10 on the road. I think we really have a live dog here tonight with the Angels & I will play them for (1*).

	posted by bkwesq on 06/05/2009 12:05 PM I think these two teams are very similar. Either time can break out and get on a hot run. I do lean towards the Angels, the Tigers had many opportunities to show they are not a sub .500 team, and each and every time have failed to do so. Verlander is a great pitcher, but the Angels at +155 is a great value bet even if you take out all the good things they have going for them.
	posted by spartan on 06/05/2009 12:09 PM Excellent value in my view. Verlander is tough but the Tigers looked very ordinary this week against Boston. Good luck with it pal!
	posted by GoodFella on 06/05/2009 12:38 PM I agree Bruce, we'll see what happens. GL to us tonight brother.
	posted by Straguzzi on 06/05/2009 12:43 PM And Santana pitches better against the Tigers than Verlander goes against the Angels. I can't lay juice like that on the Tigers not with the way they're playing.

	posted by GoodFella on 06/05/2009 7:14 PM I wanted to put my reply to unsatisfied clients (rightfully so I may add) in MY OWN THREAD, before I head out to dinner with my family.........it's just the way I prefer to handle my business. Just got through reading all of this, and I am not going to say a word other than this: I am very sorry for the POOR start to the month of June, & I will work very hard at gettuing us turned around, CLEARLY KC & the Cards RL were not winning plays tonight, & I DO NOT control the outcome of games......as much as I would like to.....lol......I just want this to be on record: I started as a pregame pro back in March & I havent had a losing month so far, as June is off to a bad start, we have plenty of time to right the ship for this month: I have never kept my results from anyone who has ever asked, & I think I handle myself the right way & will continue to do so. Once again, very sorry for the piss poor start to the month, all I can do is MAN UP, like I ALWAYS do & make NO excuses, like I NEVER do. I understand peoples frustration & expectations & will do my absolute best to meet them. I am heading out to dinner with the family, but just wanted to clear all this up. Have a good night everyone! Here are my OVERALL results for ALL of my Premium Plays since I started in February: February Premium Paid Plays= +5.1 Units March Premium Paid Plays= +.40 Units April Premium Paid Plays= +7.40 Units May Premium Paid Plays= +2.52 Units June Premium Paid Plays (through June 5th)= -9.22 Units *I have the St. Louis RL (2) counted in this from tonight's card** FREE MLB Plays for the 2009 season= +7.55 Units
	posted by bkwesq on 06/05/2009 7:46 PM I'm not unsatisfied GF. Its a daily grind. Like I said the last week, I have not paid my bookie since i started following you and VR, that was Feb! So you sucked ass tonight, EVERYONE had St. Louis on their card! Now suck it up and look forward to making me more money tomorrow!
	posted by Straguzzi on 06/05/2009 8:02 PM Hey, at least you're facing this. It's a rough patch that all cappers go thru. It's your long term work that's impressive. Tomorrow's another day.
	posted by Dwayne Bryant on 06/05/2009 9:28 PM Brother, I went through the same thing in April. There isn't a bettor in the entire world that doesn't go through losing streaks. And we can't control when people decide to jump on board. Just keep doing what you do. Your long-term results speak for themselves.
	posted by Apathyxnext on 06/05/2009 10:30 PM I cant speak for all your clients... but I doubt ANYBODY is unsatisfied. Losing is tough, we all know that. It is frustrating, and I personally take out my frustrations with posts... Better than drinking myself into stupidity or getting violent. Anyways... stay focused and when we are back in the black im sure we will all be smiling...
	posted by Stevebeav on 06/06/2009 10:07 AM Yo, long time my man! Gotta thank you for this one,....added it to a moderately small parlay card w/Tor+132, and Minn +145 1st Parlay I've played in 2 wks; whammo. Definately the way to get weekend rolling.
