3 picks here

San Diego +130 over Philly

I expected SD to be favorites here...getting money I'll gladly take them. I think the pitching matchup is edge SD, and they have a better overall record and away record vs phily's home record.

Cincinatti -130 over Milwaukee

Arroyo has been solid all year. Again, pitching matchup and team advantage Cincy.

LA Dodgers -140 over Arizona

A solid vet in Aaron Sele, having a solid year vs a rookie, who although looked great in his first few starts, has had flashes of pressure, getting decimated in 2 of his last 3 starts. The D-Backs aren't nearly as good as their Oakland sweep suggests, and I think they continue to comeback to reality with another L tonight, just like yesterday

GO me (us)

Im with you JD, these guys talk about it so much and seem to be pretty proficient at it and got the itch to do it with them, but I just am not comfortable enough with it. I also think it spoils watching sports to some degree, unless it is something you absolutely dont care about but plan on watching anyway i.e. 1st round march maaaaaadness.
