July 8th!

Sorry I didn't post yesterday, sometimes I just get too busy to update it!

1. MyPa or Draw vs FC Lahti
In the Finland Veikkausliiga MyPa currently sits sixth and FC Lahti is in 11th.  In 7 road matches, MyPa has only managed one win so far, along with 2 draws.  Lahti has only won 3 home games in 8 tries. The biggest stat appears to be that Lahti has scored only 5 goals at home in those 8 matches.  Thus, I really doubt they'll net too, and a clean sheet is entirely possible.  I'll gladly take MyPa and the draw option.

2. Fram wins by 2+ vs Grotta W/D/L1
Fram currently sits 8th in the highest league of Iceland football.  Meanwhile, Grotta sits 6th in the 3rd division of Iceland football (two leagues below Fram). Grotta has had 3 clean sheets in their 4 home matches so far this season.  Fram has only scored 6 goals in 6 road matches on the road this season, but of course keep in mind, these two teams are seperated by two divisions.  By streak rules, I always tend to like the lower division team to cover in cup matches, and W/D/L1 is always pretty solid at home.  I'll be going Grotta very tentatively, and might change when the lineups come out.

3. Hits + K's: 2 or 3 vs AON
In Haren's games this year, the first inning has gone AON 9 of the 15 times.  In Lannan's starts, AON has won 4 of the 7 times.  Combining these gives AON a 59.1% chance of winning versus 40.9 for 2 or 3.  Neither pitcher is really a strikeout pitcher (both average under .85 K's per inning).  So I'm not as confident about this pick as I'd like to be, but I'll be on AON and hoping for over.

4. Will either team have the bases loaded in innings 3-6?
In Haren's starts this year, the bases of either team have been loaded during the 3rd-6th innings in 6 of the 15 starts, and in Lannan's starts, they've been loaded 3 of the 7 times.  So No should be a good favorite here.

5. First Batter of the 8th, HWS/AOR
I'll have to see who the batter's going to be!

6.  Colorado Rockies vs San Diego Padres
I'm terrified, I mean absolutely terrified to recommend the Padres with Volquez on the mound.  Like I think I just heard my door creak.  If I get murdered, it was deserved for recommending the Padres.  Volquez has an ERA of 4.73 at home, and Chatwood meanwhile, is sitting with a road ERA of .81.  So you say Blazer, have you lost your mind? Yes, Yes I have.  But the Rockies are 16-26 on the road, that's horrid, and the Padres are 25-18 at home, that's very good.  I wouldn't recommend this for any kind of streak, but if you're trying to start something back up, take the Padres
