METS GO FOR 3 IN A ROW

6/21

Mets +105 over Rockies - At some point, the New York Mets figure to make a move. They are better than a .500 team. How much better, remains to be seen. But a winning streak like we just saw with the Yankees is inevitable, so why not now. We get Pedro Martinez as an underdog against Ubaldo Jimenez who is 1-7 with a 4.85 ERA on the year. Ok, we'll bite. The value here is tremendous. The Rockies have been playing great ball lately and had won 11 of 15 coming in to this series but streaks even out. They are still in the basement, which tells us this teams been playing a bit over their heads. We think we get the better team with the better pitcher here, at a dog price, and that translates into a long term winner that we can't pass up. The Mets make it 3 in a row.

Cardinals +230 over Bosox - Any professional baseball bettor (there are actually very few of those) will tell you that there is no such thing as ANY baseball team that's deserving of being a -250 favorite as the Bosox are today. Certainly, it's likely that the Sox will win this one. However, it's not likely that they would win this one 71% of the time which is what would be required in order to simply break even here. Being able to have the guts to back a +230 underdog is something that's required of a successful bettor. 99% of those who bet on baseball games, will never back a dog like that, because in their minds, they see it as a likely loser. They can't grasp the long term aspect of the play, and that's one of the things that will keep them from every being successful at this game.
