Picks, 7|FRONTS|11|FRONTS|10

After the drama of last Friday and this Tuesday, we've bounced back to set a season high. There's clearly been some good variance involved, last night's Yankees/Mariners game just being the latest example, but a 25|PERCENT| ROI (assuming a 100-unit bankroll) is something to be proud of through the season's first half. I think, for the most part, we're applying principles well, finding value, making good decisions. If I'm doing something wrong, it's being too affected by short-term results, and not putting games on the board when I'm feeling timid.

I can go on busting you up all night.

San Francisco +106, two units. I'll keep taking the better team in this series at good numbers, especially when it means fading Livan Hernandez.

Toronto +108, one unit. Fading the high-variance Matsuzaka. This line is really reflecting who the Red Sox are supposed to be, not who they are.

Colorado -126, 1.5 units. The best team in the National League.

Oakland -101, two units. Trevor Cahill, and I did think about dropping it to a unit because of Jered Weaver. I think the value may finally have been squeezed out of Cahill.

Florida/Arizona over 10.5 (-105), one unit. Simply fading two B/C prospects forced into rotations.
