Free Pick & 2nd Half promo - +56.28U on POD's 1st half

[Freddy Wills]

We had a great first half and believe me you won't want to miss the second half that's for sure! I expect to double our profits on our MLB POD's where we posted a 56-34 overall record profiting 56.28 units on our best plays of the day. That makes us up for $100 unit bettors and $256,470 for $1,000 unit bettors. We stay humble though as we look forward to the second half of baseball and there is no better way to start it than with our 2nd half package which is guaranteed or 1 month of football is FREE!


I can't help but back Jose Quintana the guy was a beast as I faded him in his last road start at Texas one of the best LHP hitting teams. He's now posted a 3-0 record, 0.91 WHIP and a 2.86 ERA over his last three starts, but he's been even better overall and posts a 2.51 ERA on the road this year. He'll go up against the Royals who are ranked 22nd in OPS vs. LHP. Quintana will face a Royals team that is only scoring 2.94 runs per 9 vs. LHP and is 19-39 in their last 58 following an off day. I expect there bats to be a bit rusty/hung over after the break.

While the White Sox swept the Rangers, and then took 2 of 3 from the Jays in impressing fashion. One major change has happened since the acquisition of Kevin Youkilis. They no longer have a weakness vs. LH starters as they were ranked 28th vs. LHP in OPS at one time but they have surged of late to 17th with a .713 OPS. They'll face Bruce Chen who does have good numbers against the White Sox, but once again it will be Kevin Youkilis making the difference as he is 6-16 against Chen while A.J. Pierzynski adds a bit going 11-27 in his career. Chen has also been terrible in July in his career posting a 6.33 ERA, his worst month by far over the last three years combined.

C.J. Wilson (2-1, 1.21 WHIP, 2.37 ERA)
Mat Latos (2-1, 0.56 WHIP, 0.72 ERA)
Jordan Zimmermann (2-1, 1.15 WHIP, 1.35 ERA)
Tim Hudson 2-1, 1.10 WHIP, 2.57 ERA)
A.J. Griffin (2-1, 0.72 WHIP, 1.50 ERA)
Franciso Liriano2-1, 0.72 WHIP, 1.50 ERA)


Though this is not going to be any sort of a sports pick that is backed by our we still like to give out the cold pitcher with the best shot at winning because often times there is a lot of value. Today's pitcher is Doug Fister by default. I think he benefited more than any other pitcher by the All Star break. Fister also had an amazing 2nd half last year and we will see if he can replicate it as the Tigers finished strong before the break.
