Happy Eve 250th!

Cabo Verde 1st half tie + 226

Argentina is ranked number one in FIFA rankings, which doesn’t mean shit, but Cape Verde knows that they cannot have an open attacking game plan against a superior team. I expect them to play 5-4-1 and hold their ground for one half. Good luck.

Atlanta Braves -119
Braves are 25-16 at home while the Mets are 17-27 away
Braves have offensive edge in runs scored, hits, batting average, slugging percentage and home runs
Braves have best bullpen at 2.93 ERA in MLB
Mets have lost ten of their last twelve games overall
Mets rank last in national league in road scoring

Egypt +137

While the Socceroos are defensively organized, they squeezed out of Group D with 4 points and have shown vulnerability when pressed. Their recent form reveals a lack of consistency, with only one win in their last five outings.

Colombia vs Ghana U 2.5. I think both of these teams have struggled to score and I could see this being a very tight affair.

mets -116

why are the mets favored on the road at atl, not a pitching issue in my humble opinion, this line stinks, with 76 % of tickets on atl, according to yahoo, makes no sense, i live to find stinky lines and this one is a dirty jock strap, both teams are 1-4 last 5, with this being the 1st of a 4 game series, atl leads mets in nearly every available statistical category on offensively, scott is not a strike out pitcher either, so i’ll dump a unit on the mets today,

1unit plays im 3-0 last three, looking for a 4th

Cubs ML -130
Don’t really care who’s pitching. Give me the cubs. We’ve seen ups and downs all year. They are a streaky team and when they are hot and smashing the ball they are very difficult to beat, especially at wrigley.

MLB:

Cleveland -129 610pm

Wash -146

Wash is better team right now have better pitcher in this game as for Pitt Keller has not been pitching very well plus he is 1-4 with a 5.41 ERA vs Wash as for Wash Griffin has had a great to this point as he is 8-2 with a 2.93 ERA this yr plus Wash ranks near the top in runs scored just is icing on the cake so let’s take the Nationals

Colombia Ghana under 2.5

Both defensive oriented and will play cautious in 1H
COlombia great goaltending will continue and this stays under 2.5 easy

1-0 Colombia

Blue Jays -130...I like this pitching matchup for the Jays .They go with Cease who has an ERA of 3.04 this year and the Blue Jays have a great pen...The Mariners go with Castillo who has an ERA of 5.68 at home

Pirates ML +115
Hot coming off a big win last night. Yes road trip but not far to travel.

Wash over 9.5 these are two decent hitting teams which looking at the over under line I see this game easily going over. It seems when Pittsburgh star pitchers are not on the mile. It seems the games go over so I will take the over

Red Sox angels under 8 -120. Two shit lineups vs two very good pitchers and both traveling across country in. Look for a snooze fest

World Cup
Ghana vs Colombia
Under 2.5
Gl

Ghana are likely to employ defensive, risk-free tactics. They looked happiest during the group phase when defined by a defensive low block, and will be content to keep this match scoreless for as long as they possibly can. Colombia created eight ‘Big Chances’ (according to Opta’s definition) during the group phase, but half of them came in one game, against Uzbekistan, the weakest of the three teams that they faced. The South Americans lack a world-class goalscorer, and much of the clever attacking play they produce in the opposition half goes to waste. An early goal for either side would change the match dynamics. Otherwise, Colombia will be happy to play patiently, and Ghana have shown they can soak up pressure for long periods.

New York Mets +100

As a Braves fan this is a rough one but the god awful Mets have the pitching advantage in this one. Neither team has any momentum but the Braves have fallen hard back to Earth after a blazing start. But injuries and shaky play are doing them no favors. Both teams stink right now so I will take the better pitcher on the road...

MLB Washington -137 (ML)
The nationals have won 4 of their last 5 games
Griffin has won4 of his last 5 games and Keller
has lost to nationals the last 3 times he has
faced them
