This picture made me very excited when I saw it today. I can’t stand the Red Sox, and though I really like Josh Beckett it wasn’t him that made me giddy, either. It was that baseball season got under way. Sort of. The Red Sox beat the life out of Boston College in a ridiculous […]

Today is one of those days where I have a lot of research I am doing, and as a result I am reading a lot of sports websites and news articles. In other words, I have the best job in the world. As I have been reading around, these are 10 things have have stuck […]

Let me say this up front - I hate the Red Sox and I will be looking for a way to pick against them. They are smug and superior and they make me throw up a little every time I see them. I respect several of their individual players, but as a team I don’t […]

Game four of the ALCS goes tonight in Cleveland, and there may be a chance to get some decent betting value. The pitching matchup is Paul Byrd (+104) for the Indians versus knuckleballer Tim Wakefield (-114) for Boston. I’m on Cleveland for the series and I would suggest that there is value on them here, […]

I had a very successful LDS round from a betting perspective. If history repeats itself then that likely means that I am doomed in the LCS round, but that won’t stop me from trying. Here’s my very quick take on the two rounds. I did more in depth analysis here.
Arizona (+115) vs. Colorado (-135) - […]

There should be a brief period of calm, but it is going to be very interesting to watch how the Yankees act this offseason. I expect it to be dramatic. Out with the A-Rod and in with the pitchers who can actually get an out would be a good place to start. Betting on this […]

The baseball playoffs are here, and I couldn’t be happier. Baseball is a great, great sport, but it is truly at its best in the playoffs. The drama that the sport is capable of is incredible.
That’s enough talking about the sport, let’s talk about betting on it. Here’s a quick look at the series prices […]

Here’s some of today’s news that I am storing away in my brain because it may be useful down the road as I am making a pick:
Marc Bulger has been benched to recover from injuries including broken ribs sustained because his line couldn’t stop my three year old cousin. He’s being replaced by Gus Frerotte. […]

San Diego in Colorado for a best-of-one. How can you not love that?
The public is jumping all over Jake Peavy and the Padres. I’m not buying it. I don’t love Josh Fogg, but the Rockies are at home, they are the hottest team in baseball, they are playing a team that fizzled down the stretch, […]

I love Washington. They may be one of my favorite teams. Sure, I don’t know all of their players (parts of their lineup are so obscure that I doubt the coaching staff know them, either), I almost never watch them play, and as a Canadian I am a little bitter that they aren’t still in […]
