Phantaroth MLB pick adventure - $15.00 to GAMBLING GURU?!

[Phantaroth]

After getting a free 15$ in my sportsbook account that I could not deposit on due to restrictions on my card.... I am hoping to succeed in betting on MLB sports. Brief recap:

I went 2-1 on my first day, getting my money up to 17.33.

Yesterday I went 1-2 but won my biggest bet and went up to 18.63.

My bets for today :

Mets -1.5 (+190) vs. Diamondbacks
John Maine vs. Brandon Webb

I like this one because the +190 looks good, Maine has been having a good season coming off a good performance in his last outting. The Mets had like 5 infield hits against the Giants yesterday and may be starting an outfield with immense speed due to injuries to Alou, Green, and Beltran. Webb is a ground ball pitcher, so I am hoping the mets will be able to rack up more base runners with the speed they will have on the field, and putting the ball in play against Webb. The mets historically do well against the diamdonbacks.

Giants over @ Philles (Money line) +125
Morris vs. Eaton

Morris has been having a great season, and Adam Eaton has been having a horrible season. The giants have not done well at the Phillies home park recently, but the Giants do not have Benitiez to blow leads for them after trading him to the Marlins. Morris looks like he is returning to his youthful form, and I just think Eaton is a bad pitcher who even a young Giants line up (who did well against the mets at times), will be able to beat. Giants defense looked great against the mets.

Astros -1.5 vs. Cardinals (+110)
Oswalt vs. Wainwright

Oswalt is just to good, and I have faith in the players in the Astros line up and feel they could break out at any time. +110 was just to good with Oswalt on the mound for me to ignore.

Hope I will be able to come back tommorow with some new picks.

[Phantaroth]

I'm getting killed :'( Astros get moshed by the suddenly Cy-young calibur Adam Wainwright, David Wright gets injured and Brandon Webb pitches a perfect game to silence the Mets back-up littered line up... Giants did kill the Phillies though. This leaves me with 11.25 to bet.

Braves over Cubs (+132) Money Line
James v. Hill

I don't like Rich Hill that much, and I am not so sure that Zambrano sucker punching his catcher in the face is exactly "good" for the cubs as a lot of sports people are saying... I still think the Cubs are overrated and have no pitching... boooo cubs.

White Sox over Blue Jays (-110) Money Line
Contreras v. McGowen

I like this pitching match up for the White Sox. I think they will win. I bet on them.

Hopefully II'll win both of these...
