8/23/05 Tuesday's MLB Picks Two Picks

Philadelphia Phillies -130 over San Francisco Giants (2.0 units) This play on the Phillies is better than it was yesterday. Because the Philllies are coming off a shut-out loss today. Betting on teams off a shut out loss is +22.60 Units this season. WOW! Similar system as yesterday telling us to back this motivated Phillies team against the weak NL West foe that struggles vs. Righties.

Detroit Tigers +112 over Oakland Athletics (1.0 Units) Doing something I would never have imagined myself doing and that was going against the A's. We did so twice with the Rangers and lost twice. We are going against this team as we see them starting to struggle. They are 3-7 L10 and compare them with the Tigers who are 7-3 L10. Great! Also, people dont realize but the Tigers pitcher is pretty decent but I think the TIgers have lost his past 5 or 6 starts. The A's are also +9 units versus lefties which is another negative. But we are taking the momentum here. The spread should grow and give us more value. I am utilizing a system for betting on these Tigers based on their last game of the previous series in which the Tigers put up 17 runs on the board. History supports them to fare well today as a home dog.

We almost considered the Rockies and the Mariners but we see them struggling L10 and are not plays.
