Giants Win, Up $30

That was a pretty good game Saturday night and it went just as I thought.

Portfolio: $812 (-11.8% return)
S&P 500: $1176 (27..7% return)

Today's Game (Monday 10/18)

Texas (-120) @ NY Yankees (-110)

Game 3 of the ALCS features two lefties, Cliff Lee and Andy Pettitte. Lee has quickly become one of the better postseason pitchers in recent history and dominated in his two starts against the Rays. He fared pretty well against the Yankees this season and won 2 games against them in last years World Series. It should be fun to watch him going up against the best hitting lineup in baseball because he challenges everybody. He never gives in as he's only walked 18 batters in 228 innings including the postseason. He strikes out his fair share of batters, but really doesn't have a great strikeout pitch. Most of his punch outs come from fastballs. Pettitte threw like his normal self in game 2 of the ALDS. Hitter's just had a hard time squaring him up. I don't see Lee slowing down and I feel the Rangers have a confidence with him on the mound, so I like the slightly favored Rangers to go up 2-1.

Bets

$12 TEX -120
