MLB - May 26, 2008

May 26th, 2008

Bankroll lost $145 on Sunday after the plays went 5-6. BEST BETS went a miserable 0-3 after a 3-0 effort on Saturday. Day was kept from being worse due to large dog hit on the Twins at +172. Winning plays from Sunday were Florida G1, Washington, Philadelphia -1.5, Minnesota, and the White Sox. Sunday's losers included Atlanta, the Mets, Cleveland -1.5, NYY -1.5, Baltimore, and Boston.

Memorial Day has most people in the US not working and enjoying what is hopefully nice weather in wherever your neck of the woods lie. For us hardcore gambling junkies there are plenty of MLB games taking place this afternoon to wet the appetite.

Once again will back the Atlanta Braves in a home game as they welcome the visitors from the desert.

Arizona sends Webb to the hill today and the Diamondbacks are a very healthy 4-1 in his road starts. Atlanta send their youngster Jair Jurrjens out to oppose Webb and the Braves are a perfect 5-0 in his efforts at home.....advantage Atlanta.

Atlanta sports a home record of 21-7 compared to the 11-12 record on the road for Arizona. Arizona has won 2 of the first three contests in this series and they will be looking to take the series with a win today....it ain't gonna happen.

Numbers simply show that Atlanta is the much better play in this one and I will back them and go against the magnificient Mr. Webb.

Atlanta Jurrjens +118

Dodgers make the trip into Chicago for an afternoon tilt with the Cubs.

Dodgers come in with an 11-12 record in road games while the Cubs are happy to be returning home from Pittsburgh, after dropping two of three, where they hold a record of 19-8.

LA has won 2 of the 4 Billingsley starts on the road which holds with their team road record. The Cubs sport a perfect 6-0 record with Dempster starting at home and all of the contests have been decisive. No Dempster home start has been won by less than 3 runs.

The numbers are solid enough for a top play on the moneyline....was considering a runline play here but decided to lay the small wood and take the Cubs simply to do what they have done 19 of 27 times thus far in 2008, and that is win at home.

Chicago Cubs Dempster -124

GOOD LUCK and enjoy your holiday...

Managed to hit both afternoon BEST BETS as the Braves hammered away at Webb, and the Cubs got another masterful performance from Dempster at home.

I have one remaining BEST BET play for the Monday slate and it is NOW posted at the site for your perusal. Play comes complete with my thoughts and analysis and it is a 7:05p EDT start so be sure to check this one out right away...

GOOD LUCK with your action tonight
