I think I should have 10 points.

I got the full 4 points this week and had 6 the previous week. And pretty sure I got them all in on time. Check me out.

Saturday Games:
SU: Philly (beat Mets 2-1)
ML Dog: Texas (beat Oakland 11-2)
O/U: FL/Cinci under 7.5 (4-3 Final score)

widestrides, the problem was with your ML Dog. Texas was only + 120 on saturday so that didnt meet the requirement for the ML Dog and was worth 0 points. Here's the rule on that:

3) The 3 weekend games MUST be selected in this way: 1 Straight Up (SU), 1 OVER/UNDER (O/U), and 1 Underdog Money Line (ML) + 130 or greater from scheduled weekend Friday – Sunday MLB games. The SU and ML picks must be separate games. Wins and ties will be scored as follows:

- Straight Up (SU) Win = 1 point
- Over/Under (O/U) Win = 1 point and a tie = ½ point.
- Money Line (ML) Underdog + 130 or Greater Win = 2 points

This was the line that Lax posted:

4:05 PM 7 Over-Under
919 Texas +120
920 Oakland -130

I copy the lines the night before and check them in the AM before posting around 8:30am - 9:30am on game day. I'll make the necessary adjustments in the AM.

Below are the ML moves for the Oakland - Texas game, Saturday, April 30, 2011.
The 3 lines in bold print are about the time I posted the contest lines. For Texas, those lines would have been approximately +114, +115, +117. On average, there is a 10 pt line difference between the fav and dog.

Ah, I see. I must have been looking and going off my Book's line which had Texas over that +130 mark and I didn't see the difference in your line.

Damn, it felt so good to pick a ML Dog correctly and get those two points!

Lines often get higher for the Dogs the later it gets.
