Had a nice end to last year's season.
Let's keep it going.
2 picks (so far) for the early opening day games:
Texas (Gibson) +140 at Kansas City (Keller)
Philadelphia (Nola) -121 vs. Atlanta (Fried)
Wow. Texas breaks out to a 5-0 lead in the first, and it's 5-5 by the end of the first.
Then it's 8-5 Texas in the third, and they end up losing 14-10.
What a game.
Philly was close, but won thanks to that idiotic extra innings rule with an auto-runner on 2nd. That HUGELY favors the home team, because of how easy it is to push a single run across if you have a guy on 2nd with 0 outs. So if you know you only need 1 run to win, you just focus upon moving him over 180 feet, and it's a walkoff.
Horrible rule. Extra innings always favors the home team anyway (because the home team knows exactly what they need to do in order to win/tie), but this just exaggerates that situation. Plus it's just stupid.
Anyway, this does figure into the betting in close matchups, where you might want to give a little more consideration to the home team. Today that made the difference.
Because Philly was -121, I start off slightly down on the MLB season, despite going 1-1.
Jesus. I haven't even been what I would call a, "Casual," baseball fan for a few years now, though I was really into it in the early-2000's.Quote:

Speaking of extras favoring the home team anyway, would you be in favor of the first team to bat being decided by coin toss for extras? They could then choose to bat first or defer. Don't know why you'd ever choose to bat first, but maybe there's a reason a team might do that. I guess if you (home team) batted to end the ninth you might choose to bat first (if you won the toss) to force the other team to sub pitchers or keep the guy they had out there to close the ninth.
White Sox (Keuchel) +102 at Angels (Heaney)
Seattle (Kikuchi) -114 vs. San Francisco (Cueto)
Note that Kikuchi has added speed to his fastball, and has thrown in a new cutter this year. He looked really good in the spring, and it should be noted that despite a pretty bad 2020, one bright spot was only allowing 3 HR in 47 IP. He had allowed 36 in 161 IP the year before! Cueto, on the other hand, looks close to done.
Split 'em again on Friday, winning the White Sox and losing the Seattle game.
Today:
Detroit (Mize) +128 vs. Minnesota (Happ)
This starts at 10:10am PDT. Happ had COVID in February and early March, and therefore only pitched 5 innings in spring training. He's also old (38 1/2). Mize had an 8.36 ERA in the spring and battled with some control issues, but also struck out 23 (!!)
Won the Detroit pick in (stupid) extra innings, again benefiting from having the home team.
Went through the baseball games today, only one game jumps out at me:
Miami (P. Lopez) +106 vs. St. Louis (Flaherty)
Miami has been a disaster thus far, and is a far cry from the surprising squad last year. They've won just 1 game, and their offense has been super flat.
With that said, I like them today, mainly because of the pitching matchup. Flaherty has lost velocity and might be experiencing dead arm issues. He got walloped for 6 runs in 4 innings against the Reds, and he didn't look particularly good in spring training, either -- with velocity down in all games compared to last year. (It should also be noted that he wasn't very good last year, either.)
Pablo Lopez looked sharp in the spring, and even added a breaking ball for this season. Dude's stock is on its way up. He fired 5 strong innings against the Rays in his first outing.
Look for the Marlins to salvage one in this 3-game series, after dropping the first 2 at home.
Another one with two pitchers going opposite directions.
Milwaukee (Woodruff) -104 at Cubs (Hendricks)
The wind will be blowing out 12mph at Wrigley today, but both pitchers are about equally prone to the longball, so that's not really a huge factor. However, Woodruff is throwing harder than ever this year, and while his numbers were only okayish in the spring, and he got hit somewhat hard by the Twins in his first start, he still was throwing well and looking good. I expect him to turn it around soon.
Kyle Hendricks, who got hammered in his first start, is seeing decreased velocity this year, and also pitched poorly in the spring.
The Brewers have the edge in this one.
Split again. Won Milwaukee, lost Miami.
Likely no picks today. I made some on NBA though.
Early day MLB:
Yankees (German) -114 at Tampa Bay (Archer)
Seattle (Kikuchi) +160 at Minnesota (Pineda)
St. Louis (C. Martinez) -108 vs. Milwaukee (Houser)
Some notes:
Kikuchi is throwing over 97 mph and struck out 10 in his last outing. This Japanese transplant has been a disappointment so far, but this looks like his breakout year. He looked great in the spring. Pineda had a .378 batting average against in the spring, though he looked decent in his first regular season outing,
Chris Archer is a complete mess. Didn't pitch in 2020, pitched poorly in 2019, and looked pretty bad in his first start. Domingo German didn't do great in his first start, but he was stellar in the spring. Pineda had a .378 batting average against in the spring, though he looked decent in his first regular season outing.
Judge and Urshela are questionable for the Yankees, and the Rays are without Kevin Kiermaier and Ji-Man Choi. Donaldson is out for the Twins. Goldschmidt is probable for the Cards.
All of these games are in the morning.
Well, I squeaked by without disaster in MLB, and only took a small loss. Seattle won (on the road!) in extras, so that +160 negates the two losses. Archer came out in the 3rd due to injury, and the Yankees bats were asleep anyway. He didn't have a chance to melt down. St. Louis/Mil game was close until late, but somehow Avisail Garcia was hitting the ball hard today.
Anyway, here's one more:
Arizona (R. Smith) +119 vs. Cincinnati (J. Hoffman)
Look up Jeff Hoffman's career numbers and his 2021 spring numbers. Ignore his last start.
Arizona won yesterday, giving me a winning day despite the 2-2 record.
Here's my record so far:
4/1: 1-1 (-0.174 units)
4/2: 1-1 (+0.020 units)
4/6: 1-0 (+1.280 units)
4/7: 1-1 (-0.038 units)
4/10: 2-2 (+0.790 units)
Total: 6-5 (+1.878 units)
---
Today's picks:
Minnesota (M. Shoemaker) vs. Seattle (Flexen) - Under 8.5 -110 (up to -115 ok)
Colorado (Marquez) +114 at San Francisco (DeSclafani)
0-2 on Sunday. Ouch!
Today:
Miami (P. Lopez) +149 at Atlanta (Fried)
Won the Miami for a nice +149 payoff
Today:
Phladelphia (Wheeler) -113 at NY Mets (D. Peterson)
Cincinnati (Mahle) -107 at San Francisco (Cueto)
Well, that didn't go well. I killed it again in NBA (4-1), but lost both of these in pretty clear fashion.
Phillies O is terrible so far.Quote:

Minnesota (Pineda) +140 -1.5 vs. Boston (G. Richards)
Also, Rich Hill is 41 and has looked pretty bad both in the spring and in the regular season. The Rangers suck, but they're showing a little life lately.
Texas (Lyles) +166 at Tampa Bay (Hill)
1-1, both were close. Texas won in extras, and Minnesota blew a 3-0 8th inning lead. Still won 0.66 units thanks to the dog Texas bet.
Two I like so far today:
Arizona +171 (Widener) at Washignton (Scherzer)
Miami +119 (Castano) vs. San Francisco (DeSclafani)
Two excellent teams in Miami and Arizona on our radar!
Two close ones.... both tied in the 8th, both were decided by home runs. Miami won, Arizona lost.
Can't find anything I like... at least so far.
Okay, so I only see one MLB game I like so far.
Joe Musgrove has been getting all the press this year, with his no-hitter and 0.47 ERA.
But what about Brandon Woodruff? Did you know he had a no-hitter through 6 on April 7? Did you know he's been one of the best pitchers in baseball since 2020? He has.
The Brewers are banged up, playing without Yelich, Cain, and Wong, but I like the price here, in what should be a pitchers' duel, and to be honest I believe Woodruff will perform better.
Milwaukee (Woodruff) +147 at San Diego (Musgrove)
WARNING: The line has been moving the other way, so the books don't seem to agree with me. Bet at your own risk.
Okay I was vacillating on this one but I decided to fire:
St. Louis -108 (Flaherty) at Washington (J. Ross)
2-0 yesterday.
I have five today.
Milwaukee (Burnes) +105 at San Diego (Paddack)
Yankees (Taillon) -123 vs. Atlanta (Morton)
Cubs (Arrieta) +115 vs. Mets (T. Walker)
Baltimore (Harvey) +109 at Miami (Neidert)
Kansas City (Keller) -101 vs. Tampa Bay (Hill)
Went 4-1 in those picks tonight, only losing Kansas City. Nice last 2 days.
Record update:
Through 4/10: 6-5 (+1.878 units)
4/11: 0-2 (-2.000 units)
4/13: 1-0 (+1.490 units)
4/14: 0-2 (-2.000 units)
4/15: 1-1 (+0.660 units)
4/16: 1-1 (+0.190 units)
4/19: 2-0 (+2.396 units)
4/20: 4-1 (+3.103 units)
4/11-4/20: 9-7 (+3.839 units)
OVERALL: 15-12 (+5.717 units)
Obviously happy with my MLB performance over the past 2 days, so let's keep it going.
Here are two picks, one starting soon, the other a bit later:
Cincinnati (Mahle) -1.5 +122 vs. Arizona (M. Kelly)
Kansas City (Junis) -101 vs. Tampa Bay (Wacha)
Yesterday my one loss was attempting to fade a has-been Rays pitcher -- though the loss was because the Royals pitching was horrendous. I was right about the Rays pitcher being bad. Anyway, hopefully we make up for it today against Wacha.
Bizarre day, essentially breaking even (losing 0.01 units).
Cincy went into the 9th up 3-0, but horrible closer Amir Garrett gave up a 3-run HR, and the wheels fell off from there (at that point it was very unlikely to win by 2 anyway, since Cincy was the home team.)
KC started off down 4-0 right away in the 1st, got it to 4-3, then fell behind 6-3, but a nice comeback brought them up 7-6. Their crap bullpen saw them fall behind 8-7, only to score 2 in the 9th to win in a walkoff. I'll take it.
Just one baseball pick today.
Taking the Cubs to sweep. Bit of a risky play with the inconsistent Williams, but Lucchesi isn't exactly going to challenge for the Cy Young this year, either.
Cubs +103 vs. Mets (Lucchesi)
Cubs won in extras.
----------------
Oakland's 11-game winning streak ends today.
Don't fear Jorge Lopez's bad numbers (both 2021 and career).
It will happen. Trust me.
Baltimore +120 (J. Lopez) vs. Oakland (Irvin)
A rare early season MLB totals pick:
Minnesota (J. Happ) vs. Pittsburgh (Brubaker) - Under 8 -114
Detroit (Mize) +100 vs. Kansas City (Minor)
1-2 yesterday, only hitting the under.
Today:
Atlanta (Smyly) vs. Arizona (Bumgarner) - Under 9 -120
This one is a bit later:
Tampa Bay (Honeywell) -133 vs. Toronto (R. Ray)
Won the Tampa pick, Atlanta got rained out.
No picks today.
Time to fade Rich Hil again.
Last minute:
Oakland (Manaea) -107 vs. Tampa (Hill)
Won yesterday.
Let's go back the other way with Tampa, in my 3rd consecutive pick involving them.
Tampa (Wacha) -112 vs. Oakland (Montas)
And yes, it pains me to put favorite money on Wacha.
I'm going to mention this since it's historically unprecedented. The to-date ATS record of 2021 home favorites in baseball is 77-141 or thereabouts, depending on some marginal dog/fave flip-flops. The to-date ATS record of 2021 away favorites is 51-74 or thereabouts. This is wild.
As Todd might agree, I do put a little of the blame on the extra-inning rules, which reduce the advantage superior teams have heading into extra innings. The rules provide charity for the inferior team.
Those who know me have a pretty good idea what I'll be doing. I just want to mention that, in general, I do not bet baseball. I have never really been comfortable betting games where the playing fields are all different shapes and sizes. The idea of betting that kind of thing on a regular basis doesn't sit well with me.
I'm surprised that the home favorites are doing so badly ATS, given that the extra innings rule benefits the home team big time. However, I know you're saying home FAVORITES, so yes, I will agree that the rule does help the worse teams level the playing field. Interesting.
Funny that your post came on the heels of my winning a home favorite (albeit a very small favorite).
Anyway, no MLB picks today. All NBA for me this evening.
Texas (Gibson) -102 vs. Boston (M. Perez)
Colorado (Senzatela) +123 at Arizona (Weaver)
1-1 yesterday, winning Texas and losing Colorado, which had a 3-0 early lead.
Today:
Pittsburgh (Brubaker) -115 vs. St. Louis (Gant)
Cincinnati (Miley) -126 vs. Cubs (Arrieta)
Miami (P. Lopez) -126 at Washington (Lester)
Yes, Jon Lester is pitching today. Obvious fade. Also Pablo Lopez is legit good.
Won only the Cincinnati pick on the 30th. No picks past four days.
Here's my record. Oddly, on all days I made picks since 4/21, I won exactly one game each time.
Previous record through 4/20: 15-12 (+5.717 units)
4/21: 1-1 (-0.010)
4/22: 1-0 (+1.030)
4/23: 1-2 (-1.123)
4/24: 1-0 (+0.752)
4/26: 1-0 (+0.935)
4/27: 1-0 (+0.893)
4/29: 1-1 (-0.020)
4/30: 1-2 (-1.206)
No picks 5/1-5/4
TOTAL 4/21-5/4: 8-6 (+1.251 units)
GRAND TOTAL: 23-18 (+6.968 units)
Let's jump back in after zero picks the past 4 days, and start with an under:
Boston (Martin Perez) vs. Detroit (Mize) - Under 9 -115
After 9 innings the score was 3-3. Thanks to the dumb extras rule, the total of 9 lost -- easily!
Big time screw job.
We move on.
Two starting at 4:10 PT:
Arizona (Plesac) +115 at Mets (D. Peterson)
Cleveland (Plesac) -137 vs. Cincinnati (Miley)
Ouch. Lost both of those on Friday at the end of the game. Both were tied, Cincy won in the 9th, and Mets won in the 10th.
Today:
Texas (Gibson) at San Francisco (Wood) - Over 7 -125
You have a nice 7mph breeze blowing out, to help you out tonight.
Lost on Monday.
Today:
Phiadelphia (Nola) at Toronto (Kay) - Over 10 -105
Lost on Saturday.
Two today:
Cleveland (Plesac) +102 at Angels (Heaney)
Texas (Foltynecwiczczcziecz) +135 vs. Yankees (Taillon)
Split 'em. Had a 3-0 and 5-0 lead in those games, but the 3-0 lost, and the 5-0 barely won after it went 5-5. Josh Naylor saved me.
Today:
I think the wheels are going to fall off for Ohtani the Pitcher soon, especially with his 40/20 K/BB situation right now. And yeah, having no Trout doesn't help matters.
Cleveland (Civale) +116 at Angels (Ohtani)
I also have these two for you:
Boston (G. Richards) +106 at Toronto (Stripling)
Seattle (Gilbert) vs. Detroit - Under 8 -120
There's a reason the Dodgers ejected Stripling.
2-01 on Wed, tying the Seattle under
Today:
Mets (Stroman) -105 at Miami (Holloway)
Angels -110 (Quintana) vs. Oakland (Kaprielian)
Split those two on the 21st, winning the Mets.
Today, my first Run+Hit+Error bet. These can be found on Betonline, and some other places I assume.
Milwaukee (Burnes) vs. San Diego (Musgrove) - under 22.5 R+H+E -125
Also a straight bet
Milwaukee -124
Split 'em, winning the RHE bet, losing the side.
Okay, so let's look at a good RHE one for tonight. Dodgers/Astros
I'll use the H9 (hits per 9 inning) stat in place of BAA, which are very similar.
Bauer has a sparkling 4.4 H9
Luis Garcia of Houston has a 6.5 H9, and a good H9 rate in his time in the minors over the past few years.
The line is 25 for RHE.
Astros do lead MLB with a .269 team BA, which is very high for 2021. Dodgers are above average with .247.
However, Bauer should neutralize that somewhat, and I think 25 is too high.
Unfortunately, I stupidly typed this up before betting it, and it moved from -130 to -145 in the past few minutes on Betonline, so I guess great minds think alike. But if you can find it at 130 or better on another site, go for it. I won't be betting it unless I find that line though. Bovada has it at -120, so grab that while you can, if you have limits there (I'm reduced to almost nothing).
Dodgers (Bauer) at Houston (L. Garcia) - Under 25 R+H+E -120
Here's a "1st 5" moneyline for you.
Pittsburgh (Crowe) +105 vs. Cubs (T. Williams) - FIRST 5 INNINGS
In his last 4 starts, Trevor Williiams hasn't made it through 5 innings. In his last 8 starts, he never pitched into the 6th. His ERA is almost 6.00, his WHIP is 1.779. He had one good year (2018), and since then has been garbage.
This is a great "first 5" game to bet.
Won the RHE bet, lost the Pittsburgh moneyline.
Another RHE.
Detroit (Boyd) vs. Cleveland (Bieber) - Under 22 R+H+E -105
Game lined at 6.5 runs at some books!
Boyd has a nice 7.5 H9 so far, and Bieber is at 8.2, which should be trending lower.
Here's an MLB over for you. Game 2 of a doubleheader.
Colorado (Senzatela) at Mets (Lucchesi) - OVER 5.5 -130 GAME 2 DH (7 innings)
Won both above, here's one more:
Fortunately I have a few minutes to get this off.
St. Louis (C. Martinez) -111 at Arizona (Duplantier)
Big fan of Carlos Martinez, btw. He's actually been better this year than it appears from his ERA. He has never gone less than 5 innings this year. He just needs to keep the walks down.
I'm 3-0 in RHE picks so far, btw.
3-0 yesterday.
Today:
Yankees (Cole) at Detroit (Mize) - Under 23 R+H+E -115
Dodgers (Buehler) vs. San Francisco (DeSclafani) - Under 24.5 R+H+E -120
Mize 6.68 H9, Cole 6.17 H9 (and crushing it, except for one bad start versus Texas recently).
The Dodgers game is a bit more complicated. Sure, Buehler has a 6.82 H9, and has generally looked good lately. Sure, DeSclafani has been one of the biggest pleasant surprises this year, and sports a 7.23 H9. However, in their last meeting, the Dodgers shellacked DeSclafani for 10 runs in 2 2/3 innings, including 9 hits. Ouch!
However, I still like the Dodgers RHE under because the lightning already struck once against DeSclafani, who otherwise had a great season going. If anyone is going to be motivated to put in the work to suppress the Dodger bats this time around, it's him. That Dodgers have been the one giant pimple on his otherwise breakout 2021.
Also:
Kansas City (Bubic) +135 at Minnesota (Dobnak) - FIRST FIVE INNINGS
Not sure which Randy Dobnak is going to show up -- the horrendous reliver from April, or the guy who dominated the Indians last week for 6 shutout innings?
After almost 18 straight shutout innings spanning 4 games, Kris Bubic finally let his nerves get to him in his last start, giving up 4 hits in the first, before settling down. Overall it wasn't a terrible start, just a bad first inning. I'll forgive.
Lucky win with KC in the 5th, but unlucky games with the RHE stuff, one screwed in extras (tie instead of a win, due to a bad final out call), and one screwed by a 3-run comeback in the 9th. 1-1-1 overall.
Today:
Not seeing much I like RHE wise, except the NYM/ATL game, but between it being -130 for under 23 and Taijuan Walker coming off an injury (and a delay of a day due to rain), I don't trust it. Mets are barely hitting though, given all the injuries, so it's tempting.
But I'll just go with this:
Washington (Lester) vs. Milwaukee (Brett Anderson) - OVER 6.5 +102 (GAME 2 - 7 INNINGS)
Winner yesterday.
Two good RHE bets today:
Washington (Scherzer) vs. Milwaukee (Woodruff) - Under 22 -115 RHE
Dodgers (Kershaw) vs. San Francisco (Gausman) - Under 24 -120 RHE
Unfortunately, moments after I bet these, BOL moved the lines to -135 and -140, respectively.
But if they return, or if you can bet them elsewhere, do it.
Went 1-0-1 on Sunday, got screwed by Pujols in the 9th to tie the Dodgers RHE bet.
I only have one play today:
Philadelphia (Nola) at Cincinnati (Gray) - Over 7.5 -115
Easily won that over on Tuesday, with 20 runs!
Kansas City (Keller) -131 vs. Minnesota (Shoemaker)
KC/Min Under 9.5 -110
Starting at 5:10 PT
Last minute:
Detroit (Turnbull) +139 at White Sox (Keuchel)
1-2 yesterday
Detroit came back from way behind, took the lead late, and lost.
Won KC easily, lost the under.
Today:
RHE plays:
Mets (Degrom) at San Diego (Musgrove) - Under 21 -130
San Francisco (Guasman) vs. Cubs (K. Stewart) - Under 25 -115
One more RHE:
Cleveland (Civale) at Baltimore (Means) - Under 26 -125
Related to above:
Cleveland (Civale) at Baltimore (Means) - Under 8.5 -117
1-3 two days ago, winning only the SF RHE.
Cubs/Padres Over 8 -110
Won the over yesterday.
Here are 3 picks today...
Starting soon:
Baltimore (B. Zimmerman) +104 vs. Mets (Peterson)
Colorado (Senzatela) +170 at Miami (P. Lopez)
Starting at 5:10 PDT:
Detroit (Boyd) -126 vs. Seattle (Gonzales)
WARNING: The sharps don't like my Colorado pick. So keep that in mind before placing it. I do take a look at what the sharps are on before making my picks, and reconsider if they seem to oppose what I like. I'm not so arrogant to where I think I always know better. However, this one I'm keeping.
Yes, I realize Carlos Martinez gave up 10 runs in 2/3 of an inning last time out.
However, this is still a good RHE pick.
Don't pay the -145 that BOL wants, but if you can get it at around -125, do it.
St. Louis (C. Martinez) vs. Cleveland (Bieber) - Under 24.5 RHE -105
2-2... Won Baltimore and Seattle.
Last minute
Miami (T Rogers) vs. Colorado (C Gonzalez) - Under 7.5 -115
Lost yesterday.
Last minute:
Washington (Scherzer) vs. San Francisco (DeSclafani) - Under 24 RHE -125
Won yesterday, even though Scherzer got hurt after 12 pitches.
Starting very soon:
St. Louis (Gant) at Cubs (Hendricks) - Under 8.5 -105
Nice evening at Wrigley... 74 degrees, 6mph win blowing in... if you can trust Gant not to blow up again, this one should come in.
Ugh. Lost badly yesterday.
No more RHE bets or unders on struggling pitchers.
Here's a better one.
Seattle (Gilbert) at Cleveland (Bieber) - Under 24 RHE -115
Gilbert had a horrendous start to the season, but in his last 3 starts spanning 15 innings, he's given up just 5 runs and 11 hits total.
The Padres have lost 4 in a row, but they will end today with a win.
San Diego (Paddack) -120 at Mets (Lucchesi)
Split 'em. Won Padres, lost the RHE in the 9th. Bieber let me down.
Today:
Gone cold in these RHE, but I like this one a lot.
Tampa Bay (Glasnow) at White Sox (Lynn) - Under 23 RHE -115
Tied yesterday
Just one today
Detroit (Mize) +121 at Kansas City (Minor)
Won yesterday.
Starting in 10 min:
Baltimore (Akin) +145 at Cleveland (Civale)
Barely lost yesterday.
Here's 4 for today:
Cubs (Hendricks) +101 at Mets (Stroman)
Colorado (Marquez) +137 vs. Milwaukee (Woodruff)
White Sox (Cease) +115 at Houston (Urquidy)
San Diego (Musgrove) -1.5 +118 vs. Cincinnati (Miley)
I take 0.75mg Xanax before every dental procedure, and that knocks me the fuck out for the day. So I hammered these bets in, then hit the sheets. I awakened briefly and checked the scores. Things were looking good, aside from the White Sox who were getting clobbered. Looked like a 3-1 day, all dogs. However, the Padres were up 2-0 late, which was precarious.
Then I saw the disaster in the 9th. Four runs for the Reds. Fuck. Not good for a -1.5. Makes it almost impossible to win for the home team. But I went back to sleep thinking, "For some reason, I can totally see the Padres winning this on a 2-run HR walkoff at some point in the 9th or extras." So I didn't even feel it was hopeless, even though it kind of was.
Then I wake up again and see that's exactly what happened.
3-1 day, only losing the White Sox.

I realllllllllly wanted to fire on Pittsburgh today because I thought that Cleveland pitcher was gonna get bombed, but Kuhl has looked so bad, I just couldn't.
6-0 Pirates in the 3rd. Ugh.
Anyway, here's one starting in a few:
White Sox (Rodon) -104 at Houston (L. Garcia)
Lost both on 6/18.
Pittsburgh (Brubaker) vs. Cleveland (Hentges) - Under 8 -105
