I figured I would share some info/bullet points that I come across as I go through the games. I won't be writing a novel or anything, but I will pass along quick bits of info on some of the games & really am just sharing some of things I come across. Let's all have a great start to the new week. I will be updating the thread when I can & will also a Free Play coming later, too.

WHITE SOX/A's UNDER 6.5 (-115 at Bovada)
Listed Pitchers and INFO about this game and why is in this thread.
<The wind is blowing straight out to CF at 13 mph, but it is only in the 50's temp wise, 20% chance of rain and cloudy today>
<Mets starter Dillon Gee is coming off a strong start, as he shut down the Braves at Atlanta. Gee has been much better at home, opposed to on the road in his short career coming into this season. As his ERA is over 2 pts better at Citi Field (3.02 to 5.17)>
<Strong L/2 starts for SF starter Madison Bumgarner, as he shut down Colo at Colo and also the Phillies in his L/2 start. Bumgarner has been better on the road since he entered the league in 2009 (2.68 road ERA) a full point better than when at home. Coming into this season, April has been by far his worse month, as he was winless in 6 April starts with a 6.17 ERA & 1.76 WHIP.>
<Both starting pitchers have seen very little of the opposing lineups, as only Cedeno and Hariston have faced Bumgarner (1-6) & only Huff and Posey have faced Gee for the Giants who will be playing.>
<Bullpen edge to the Giants, as the Mets rank 3rd to last in bullpen ERA (4.23), compared to the (closer-less) SF Giants who rank 8th at (3.06)>
<Mets are hitting just .228 vs LH pitching, and that is 42 pts lower than when they face RH pitching>
<SF Giants are hitting .268 vs RH pitching, and that is 54 pts higher than when they face LH pitching>
<Both teams are struggling to hit w/RISP, as the Giants rank 14th in the National League (.200) & the Mets rank 10th (.225)>

<Twins starter Jason Marquis making his 2nd start of the season tonight, and the long time National League hurler has only faced 3 current Red Sox (Gonzalez 6-19 3 2B's, Byrd 1-12, and Ross 1-6) so he may have some success the 1st time through the order. He did get hit pretty good at Yankee stadium in his only start (5 IP, 7 hits, HR, 4 ER, 2BB)>
<Boston starter Lester got lit up by Texas at Fenway Park his last start, tossing 80 pitches in just 2 innings. He did shut down both the Tigers and Blue Jays on the ROAD his 2 prior starts this year & he "might" be a bit stronger today, due to him throwing just the 80 pitches in the ass whooping Texas put on him last start.>
<Current Twins are hitting .264 off Lester, and Lester has not faired too well at Target Field since 2009, 0-2, 5.84 ERA and 2.03 WHIP in 2 starts. And overall vs the Twins L/3 years, Lester is 1-3, 4.61 ERA and 1.47 WHIP.>
<Obvious issues with the Red Sox bullpen, as there 8.44 TEAM BULLPEN ERA shows.........while the Twins rank middle of the road at 3.33.>
<The UNDER is 5-0 the L/5 games played at TARGET FIELD>
<The UNDER is 6-1 so far in 7 games played at RANGERS BALLPARK in ARLINGTON>
Keep the good intel coming & have a plus money evening!!!!

Of any big win we have had, or winning streak, or even coming out of a losing streak, of this I am most proud:
Some forum posters have broken into the industry and have achieved moderate success while carrying themselves with professionalism and integrity. Dave Essler, of the pick-selling site Pregame, immediately comes to mind.

Haha, wow "coffee cleanup time" good 1 brother . . . . . .
<Filthy stat of the day for the A's/White Sox game. Starters Jake Peavy and Bartolo Colon have a COMBINED (40-4) K to BB ration this season. Peavy 21 to 2 and Colon 19 to 2.>
More on this game coming shortly...
<The only Oakland A's player who will be in the lineup today, who has faced Peavy, is Seth Smith (2-5, 2B, 3B), so edge to Peavy the 1st time through the order.>
<Current White Sox are hitting .255 vs Colon, with Kornerko getting most of the AB's vs him. Kornerko has fared well in 45 AB's, sporting a .886 OPS. Colon made just 1 start vs his former club the White Sox the L/3 years, 8 IP, 7 hits, 1 BB, 6 K's>
<The White Sox pitching staff ranks #1 in the American League in batting avg against: (.219) while the Oakland A's pitching staff ranks 4th in the A.L. (.233)>
<Both teams bullpens rank in the top 5 in ERA thus far; White Sox 3rd best (2.27 ERA) & Oakland 5th best (2.51 ERA).>
<Oakland ranks dead last in the A.L. in hitting w/RISP at a putrid (.178) while the White Sox rank 4th best (.287). The White Sox also hit RH pithcing 68 pts higher than when they face LH pitching (.264 compared to .196)>
<Oakland Coliseum has the MOST FOUL GROUND "in play" of any stadium, which obviously caters to the pitchers and UNDER(s) & the UNDER is 5-1 L/6 at Oakland Coliseum.>
