blackcrow Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 NY Yankees - Tampa Bay over 9.5 @ 2.08 pinnacle Nova is 3-1, with a 5.58 ERA and allowed all 5 runs in the 5-0 loss to Baltimore. He has allowed at least 4 runs in each of his three home starts (total of 15 runs) and has gone 2-0 with a 3.47 ERA in 4 starts against Tampa Bay. Shields is 5-0, with a 3.05 ERA in his 6 starts so far, and though he has pitched well in 4 of these games, he did allow 6 runs on 9 hits in the 7-6 home win over the Yankees in his opening game of the season. In NY, he has lost his last 3 starts there, and is 2-6 with a 5.05 ERA in 10 starts there. He has been hit quite hard and expect both teams to hit well against these pitchers and send this over Cleveland - Chicago White Sox over 8.5 @ 2.15 pinnacle Masterson is 1-2, with a 5.20 ERA while Danks is 2-4, with a 6.51 ERA as he has allowed at least 3 runs in each of his 6 starts, with 11 runs allowed in his last 3 road starts. They oppose each other for the third time this season as Masteron allowed 3 runs on 8 hits while Danks allowed 4 runs on 7 hits in the 10-6 road win by the White Sox and then last week, Masterson allowed 3 runs on 8 hits and Danks allowed 6 runs on 9 hits in the 7-5 road win by Cleveland. Each pitcher does not have a good record against the opposing team and like them once again to give up hits and runs, to send this over Milwaukee - Cincinnati over 8.5 @ 2.10 pinnacle Gallardo is 1-3, with a 5.79 ERA as he allowd 8 runs on 8 hits in the 13-1 loss in St Louis and then allowed 3 rusn on 8 hits in the 5-0 loss at San Diego. Against Cincinnati, he has gone 1-1 with a 5.34 ERA in 11 starts as they have hit him well in the past. Bailey is 1-2, with a 3.77 ERA as he has allowed at least 3 runs in each of his 5 starts, and has gone 0-3 with a 5.63 ERA in 8 starts against Milwaukee. They too have hit him well and can see both pitchers giving up runs here Seattle - Detroit over 6.5 @ 2.03 pinnacle Millwood is 0-3, with a 5.34 ERA and is coming off allowing 4 runs on 7 hits in the 4-3 loss at Tampa Bay. He has gone 4-5 with a 4.05 ERA in 15 starts against the Detroit and has allowed 6 runs to Cleveland and 5 runs to the Chicago White Sox, in his two home starts this season. Verlander is 2-1, with a 2.38 ERA and is coming off allowing 2 runs on 6 hits in the 3-2 home loss to Kansas, and prior to that, allowed 4 runs on 7 hits in the 7-6 loss in NY to the Yankees. He has gone 1-4 with a 4.93 ERA at Seattle, so he does not have a good record there, so like them to get a few runs off him here. A low total here, and both pitchers are capable of giving up a few runs here to send it over Record: 47-73 (-7.16) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samba_SamPa Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Re: MLB: May 8th 2012 picks Been busy pokering the last few nights (and avoiding all mention of my Red Sox's slump!). Hope you've been finding enough to keep afloat, going to have a look at tonight's matches now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samba_SamPa Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Re: MLB: May 8th 2012 picks Must apologise for lack of reasoning, my monitor (as it is often the case) is having a spell of going black and telling me it is not the recommended mode, so it's tough to concentrate when you only have maybe 3-5 seconds at a time to see what you're writing lol). Basically think this pair should be faves, but are dogs, and warrant backing giving up an extra run at the prices. Cardinals (m/l) 1pt @ 2.18 Bet365 (actually, am thinking the m/l offers the best value in this one) Athletics (-1.5) 1pt @ 3.25 Bet365 2012 record: 22-31 (+7.46) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptorsfan1 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Re: MLB: May 8th 2012 picks Miami X LaDodgers @2.417 Pinnacle stake 5 Miami is on a 7 game winning streak and Sanchez takes the mound with a good 2-0 2.21 ERA away from home,and has a good 3-1 2.48 ERA against Houston,Aneury Rodriguez makes his first start this season for Houston just recalled from Triple A Oklahoma City where he was 1-3 4.97 ERA this season.Last season he went 1-6 5.27 ERA for Houston and 1-4 7.26 ERA at Minute Maid Park,i think inform Miami can win this one too,i'll add the Dodgers to make a combo-bet.. Dodgers with Kershaw on the mound who have a very good 6-1 1.25 ERA in 12 carrier meetings against the giants,opposite to him is Volgeson who has a carrier 1-1 6.52 ERA in 4 games at Dodger Stadium,i think dodgers can win this.. Toronto -1.5 pt @2.470 Pinnacle stake 2 i'll go with in-form Romero who pitched well in all of his starts this season,he made mistakes in the second inning of his first start and a few on his last game against Texas but when this season he's receiving a good run support and is 4-0 3.64 ERA in 5 games so far this season,he has a good 4-0 1.49 ERA in 5 games against Oakland in his carrier with a 2-0 1.13 ERA a complete game and a shoutout in 2 games at the Oakland Coliseum..i think the jays can take this one.. Seattle-Detroit over 5.5 pt @1.60 Bet365 stake 3 I like this over,Verlander has a carrier 4.44 ERA at Safeco Field and Milwood so far this season in 2 starts at home has a 0-1 10.61 ERA in just 9.1 innings pitched,i think the over-line is low and i take this with a low-medium stake..
