Thursday's Selections ...
NOTE:

Lots of travel today in Scotland, with lots of filming. 9 am to 9 pm to be exact. Going to be a long day, so nice to get the winning night last night to take into today.



It's amazing sometimes the difference between a winning day and losing day.



Good breaks, bad breaks. They all equal out at the end of the year.



Looked dead in the Giants game last night until Bengie Molina bailed me out. Sometimes you need a big win like that to keep things going.



Momentum in every facet of life is an incredible equalizer. When you have it, everything seems to go your way more than it goes against you, and I most certainly have had more of it the last 6 winning weeks.



I made some changes back in July how I approach things and it has most certainly paid off. Just sticking to my gameplan, executing it to perfection and it all adds up to a possible 7 straight winning weeks.



Need another winning day today. Nothing more and nothing less.



5 DIMER - CLEVELAND INDIANS - They were good to me yesterday, and I will gladly ride them again today behind Laffey.



Now I used Laffey 2 Sunday's ago as a free pick winner and he delivered a nice underdog win at Minnesota. His next start out I rode the UNDER between he and Fister and he delivered for me again 4-3.



Now I come back with him on the road at Baltimore and as a added incentive, he is from the Maryland area so pitching for family and friends should be an added bonus.



Bottom line is Laffey has just been solid his last 10 starts allowing more than 3 earned runs just twice, and has won 2 of his last 3 on the road over the aforementioned Twins and Mariners.



Hernandez has been struggling a bit giving up 14 earned his last 15 1/3 innings and he has gone 1-4 in the process.



We all know one of the worst teams in all of baseball the 2nd half of the season is the Baltimore Orioles while the Indians continue to play well and win, as evidenced by their 24-14 mark the last month.



I will go to the well one more time with Laffey tonight at a very good value price.



I'm riding the Indians.

5 DIMER - CHICAGO WHITE SOX - Living on borrowed time.



That is all I can say about rookie Tawaza of the Red Sox. He shut out the Yankees for 6 innings his last start but it wasn't so much him as it was the Yankees not being able to get the big hit with men in scoring position.



How does 0-8 suit you for the pinstripers in that game?



In fact, it has been a common theme with this kid as major league hitters are 2 for 22 with men in scoring position against him. So the question is how do you break through? Glad you asked.



You do it with veteran hitters, a veteran lineup trying to avert a 4-game road sweep as the White Sox are trying to do tonight.



Danks is just the kind of guy to get them there and also breakthrough against Boston who has beaten him 3 in a row. He comes in pitching very well giving up 4 earned over his last 21 2/3 innings.



Folks, this is a big game for Chicago as they are 4 1/2 games back of the Tigers in the Central and off a tough loss last night, I look for the White sox to rebound with Danks and get to this rookie early and often.



Chicago is the play.

5 DIMER - ST. LOUIS-CINCINNATI UNDER - I just don't see these two teams getting over the total tonight.



You have the # 1 defenses playing well into the 3rd quarter and both starting QB's sitting on the bench with injuries. So it's up to guys like Kyle Boller, J.T. O'Sullivan, Brock Berlin and Carson Palmer's younger brother Jordan.



I was so impressed with the Bengals defense at New England last week holding the Patriots to just a touchdown and head coach Lewis is preaching defense like never before.



At home in this preseason game I look for him to unleash as impressive a defense for the home crowd as they have seen in quite sometime. Defense wins championships and the Bengals have a pretty good defense as you will see again tonight.



Rams new head coach Spagnola is all about the defense and tonight is a good matchup for his defense and a great opportunity for him to find out just where they are at.



With the quarterbacks in this game less than average and both defenses ready to get after it, I am rolling with the Under in a smash mouth defensive battle.



Ride the Under.
