2-3 day yesterday and was hoping for a Red Sox win in the extra innings for a winning day, but just didn't happen.  Cashed my TOP play making it 4 straight now.  Let's get right to the games for Monday. 1* = $100  TOP FREE PLAY – 38-24-2 (61.2%) (+$5228) MLB YTD 73-74-4 (49.6%) (+$658) NFL YTD 1-0 (100%) (+$310) PARLAY’S YTD (1*) – 1-2 (33.3%) (+$120) YEAR-TO-DATE * - 2* 25-21-1 (54.3%) 3* 53-58-1 (47.7%) 4* 33-30-3 (52.3%) 5* 3-1 (75%) All lines courtesy Pinnacle Sports TOP play in bold Marlins/Diamondbacks UNDER 9 -116 (4*) -  Marlins have the second highest K % vs. RHP this season.  Koehler pitched a decent game last striking out 7, walked one and threw six scoreless innings. Phillies/Brewers OVER 8 -110 (4*) - Homer prone Estrada is on the mound tonight and the Brewers bats need to wake up.  Take the OVER here Phillies/Brewers OVER 4 First 5 -125 (4*)

Not much to say after a brutal 0-3 day on Sunday, just have to put my head down and get back to the grind. Treading lightly in terms of dollar amounts tonight to try and get back in the winners circle. All lines taken from Pinnacle Sports with bet amounts "to win" on favorites and flat on underdogs Play of the Day in Bold MLB YTD: 87-94-11 (-$130) MLB Plays NY Mets ML (+113) $300 to win $339 Revenge time for New York after they were swept in Atlanta last week. Minor and Matzuzaka faced off in Game 2 of that series and while neither starter went more than five innings, it was the Braves who did enough damage early on to win 5-4. Not a single run was scored after the top of the 5th in that game so the bullpens did a great job, but this time aorund it's going to be New York who comes out on top. The Braves just had a long nine-game winning streak snapped yesterday against the Diamondbacks and I love to fade a team in a spot like this after a long winning streak has been snapped. NY Yankees/Cleveland  Under 9 (-107) $214 to win $200 Not a lot of love coming for spot starter Shane Greene tonight as he struggled in his lone relief appearance this year for New York. But he's got the advantage of no Indians player having faced him before and that should be good enough to get through Cleveland's order the first few times. Justin Masterson hasn't been up to par for Cleveland, but this is a guy who was a former ace for this team and can mow down any lineup on [...]

Thanks to the Astros imploding in the 7th inning, my 2-1 day turned into a 1-2 day in a hurry. If the Astros had come through it would have been a nice payday with the big dog, and even if Melky Cabrera is called safe at home in the 8th during the review I'd have had a better chance of cashing that total as well. Now that I've got that little rant out of the way, it's time to turn to today's action and there are a few later plays on the card that I like. All lines taken from Pinnacle Sports with bet amounts "to win" on favorites and flat on underdogs Play of the Day in Bold MLB YTD: 87-91-11 (+$697) Colorado ML (+113) $200 to win $ $226 The Rockies got over the hump against the Dodgers yesterday as it was their first win in seven straight games against L.A. Colorado's bats finally woke up by putting eight runs on the board and offensively the Rockies are a streaky team. They get to face one of the weaker pitchers in the Dodgers rotation today in Josh Beckett and he;s a guy they've avoided for most of the series' with L.A. The lone time they did face Beckett the Dodgers righty got a no-decision in a 5-4 Rockies win and L.A actually has a 2-9 SU record in Beckett's last 11 starts against division opponents. I'm riding that run today as Colorado finds a way to finish this four-game set with a split. Toronto/Oakland Over 7.5 (-107) $321 to win $300 Tampa/Detroit Under 7.5 (-102) $306 to win $300 Both of these games fit into our methods here at DRock sports about chasing [...]

2-2 day yesterday and was still able to put $62 to the MLB bankroll.  Cashed my TOP play and now have put together 3 straight winners in that category.  If your a regular on our site you know my favorite day of the week in baseball is Sunday.  So let's get to today's plays. 1* = $100  TOP FREE PLAY – 37-24-2 (60.6%) (+$4948) MLB YTD 71-71-4 (50%) (+$1015) NFL YTD 1-0 (100%) (+$310) PARLAY’S YTD (1*) – 1-2 (33.3%) (+$120) YEAR-TO-DATE * - 2* 25-21-1 (54.3%) 3* 52-56-1 (48%) 4* 32-29-3 (52.4%) 5* 3-1 (75%) All lines courtesy Pinnacle Sports TOP play in bold Brewers/Reds OVER 7.5 +111 (4*) - 2 UNDERS in this series = the OVER Whites Sox ml +121 (3*) - Home dog with less than 35% of betting action and with a game total of over 8.5 theory.  Plus revenge for Noesi after being traded by Seattle at the beginning of the season. Twins ml +104 (3*) - Home dog with less than 35% of betting action and with a game total of over 8.5 theory. Red Sox ml -115 (3*) - Yes I am taking the Red Sox, its crazy, but my research tells me to take them today.  Orioles are a baseball worst 5-17 after they play a double header since 2005.  Take the Red Sox in this spot. Indians ml -130 (4*) - KC is missing most of their RBI producers today Indians are going to start to roll here and should roll over the Royals.  Kluber had his best start this season against the Royals when he struck out 11 in his first career shutout against them and is 3-1 with a 3.77 ERA career against [...]

I was 0-1-1 with my plays yesterday as Miami couldn't find a way to come all the way back against the Cards and Colorado got mowed down by Kershaw once again. The Dodgers did do enough scoring to get me that push which limited the damage. It's on to the next one as always though, so let's get right to the picks for tonight's card. All lines taken from Pinnacle Sports with bet amounts "to win" on favorites and flat on underdogs Play of the Day in Bold MLB YTD: 86-89-11 (+$967) MLB Plays Baltimore/Boston Over 9 (+110) "Game 2" $300 to win $330 This play is all about the double header strategy we have posted here at D Rock Sports after the Red Sox walked off with a 3-2 win in the 9th. Lester and Gonzalez both pitched well in that contest as there were strikeouts everywhere, but I don't think that will be the case tonight. I'm flip-flopping with the total here and although I do think there is some value in doing the same with Baltimore on the ML (+134), I have more trust in riding both offenses then I do with the Orioles trying to come out on top. Toronto/Oakland Over 7.5 (+111) $300 to win $333 Game 3 of this Jays/A's series fits another line of thought we like to talk about here at the site and that's going with 'overs' after two straight 'unders' or vice-versa. So far there hasn't been much offense in this series with two straight low-scoring games and that will change tonight. Mark Buehrle has come back down to earth a bit after his phenomenal start to the season and Toronto is 4-1-1 O/U the [...]
