Phillies Win, Angels Lose, Break Even

After my recent losing stretch I'll definitely take breaking even.

Portfolio: $659 (-28.4% return)
S&P 500: $1346 (46.1% return)

Today's Games

Washington (+140) @ Philadelphia (-150)

In the only game Jason Marquis is matched up against Vance Worley. Marquis has been a big surprise this year going 3-0 with a 2.62 ERA and is fresh off a 5 hit, complete game shutout. His improvement doesn't look to be a fluke as he has gains in strikeouts, walks, and has developed a pretty good change up. The only thing helping him out from a luck standpoint is his lack of home runs, but all signs point to him being a solid starter this year with an ERA in the 3's, something he hasn't done since 2004. Worley is a rookie with some upside. He had pretty good success in the minors, but his stuff is not that great. I'm guessing that he'll have some growing pains early on and I'm also not sure if he's ready to be a starter in the majors (he's starting due to injuries). I like the Nationals with a new and improved Jason Marquis.

Bets

$10 WAS +140
