MLB: May 13th Picks

[AGurv]

MLB Overall 2011 55-33 +18.78 units (62.50%) Game got called yesterday, but they were losing 1-0 in the 2nd so maybe a blessing Giants -103 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes Giants have been playing great and I will follow this streak. Bumgarner is actually 0-5 but undeservingly so, the guy has pitched really well this season. He had 1 game this year where he gave up more then 3 runs. In his last 3 games, hes actually given up a total of just 3 runs. He's also pitched better on the road this year. Angels +100 to bet 1 unit @ 5dimes Hard to ignore Weaver at these odds and possibly a sucker player. But Weaver has won his last 3 against the Rangers. Ogando also coming off a minor injures. Will take my chances with this one.

Re: MLB: May 13th Picks If today is not better, then will probably take a break Washington -1.5 @ 2.85 pinnacle Gorzelanny is 2-2, with a 2.87 ERA as he allowed 2 runs on 2 hits in the 5-2 win over Washington last week. He is 2-0 with 1.80 ERA in 3 starts against Florida as Washington has won 7 of their last 10 home games. Volstad is 2-2, with a 5.73 ERA as he allowed 3 runs and 8 hits in the same game and is 0-1 with a 3.27 ERA in 2 starts against Washington this season. They have lost 5 of their last 7 games, and like the Nationals to continue their good form of late. St Louis -1.5 @ pinnacle Lohse is 4-2, with a 2.24 ERA as he is coming off another good start where he allowed just 1 run in the 4-0 loss to Milwaukee on Saturday. He has struggled playing Cincinnati on the road but like him to contibue his good form here. Arroyo is 3-3, with a 3.68 ERA and is 1-3 with a 4.65 ERA in his last 5 starts as he allowed one run in the 3-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Saturday. He has lost his last 3 starts against St Louis with a 8.22 ERA to go with it. Tampa Bay -1.5 @ 2.42 pinnacle Hellickson is 3-2, with a 3.72 ERA as he allowed just 3 hits in the 8-2 win over Baltimore last Sunday and he is now won both his starts with a very low 0.82 ERA against Baltimore. Guthrie is 1-5, with a 4.09 ERA as he allowed 7 runs on 10 hits opposite Hellickson as he has lost his lost 5 of his last 6 starts with a 5.00 ERA to go with it. With TB hitting well, like them to hit Guthrie once again. Pittsburgh @ 2.45 pinnacle McDonald is 2-2, with a 5.65 ERA as he has gone 2-0 with a 1.00 ERA in his last 3 starts, allowing 3 only hits in the 5-4 win over Houston. He has faced Milwaukee just once where he allowed 6 runs on 7 hits but like him to do well here based on his present form. Gallardo is 3-2, with a 5.11 ERA and has a 8.89 ERA in his last 5 starts. While he is coming off a very good outing in the 4-0 win over St Louis, his home record is not good, as he has a pretty high 5.04 ERA in 4 home starts. He has pitched well in the past against Pittsburgh so not sure which Gallardo you will get here. Going with the value pick. LA Angels -1.5 @ 2.52 pinnacle Weaver is 6-2, with a 1.87 ERA as he has then falterd in his last 2 starts, giving up a total of 7 runs but like him to bounce back in this AL West rivalry game as he is 4-1 with a 1.90 ERA in his last 6 starts against Texas, and allowed just 6 hits in the 4-1 win over them last month. They average over 5 runs per game on the road and like them to hit Ogando, who despite going 3-0, with a 2.17 ERA, and allowing 1 run in the 4-3 loss to Seattle, he is due for a bad start, and like the Angels to do some damage here, as he has not pitched for 10 days due to a blister on his finger. LA Dodgers -1.5 @ 2.28 pinnacle Kershaw is 4-3, with a 3.12 ERA as he has allowed just 3 runs in total in winning his last 2 starts, allowing 1 run on 6 hits in the 4-2 win over the NY Mets. He is 3-0 with a 1.42 ERA vs Arizona last season, and with the Dodgers hitting well, like them to get to Saunders, who is 0-4, with a 5.72 ERA as he allowed all 4 runs in the 4-3 loss to San Diego. He has lost both of his starts on the road in LA, with a 3.00 ERA to go with it. May picks: 18-34 (-11.59) April picks: 45-56 (+2.52)

I know how you feel. I used to love taking the run line, but once I had a period like yours I stopped doing that. It still happens so many times that a team starts with a top notch pitcher, and decides that a 6-1 lead should be enough to trade in the top notch pitcher for a pitcher with an ERA of 7 or 8, at the start of the 7th inning. So many frustrating moments and bets lost. I feel for ya.
