Won the Atlanta pick.
I have a bunch of picks today.
Brace yourself:
San Diego (Paddack) +106 at Philly (Vasquez)
Tampa -1.5 (Morton) -155 vs. Detroit (Norris)
TB/Detroit under 7.5 +100
Texas (Minor) -108 vs. Minnesota (Odorizzi)
St. Louis (Wainwright) +120 at Cincinnati (L. Castillo)
White Sox (Giolito) -101 at Angels (P. Sandoval)
-
3-3 yesterday
I'll stick to what I'm good at today, and go with two totals.
Both are late games, so you have time.
Miami (Noesi) at Colorado (Marquez) - Under 12 -110
White Sox (H. Santiago) at Angels (Suarez) - Under 10 -110
-
Lost both on Saturday.
Here's four dogs today:
San Diego (Lauer) +134 at Cincinnati (Bauer) -- yes, that's Lauer versus Bauer
Pittsburgh (T. Williams) +106 vs. Washington (J. Ross)
Texas (Allard) +103 vs. Angels (Peters)
KC (J. Lopez) +125 at Baltimore (Means)
-
Won 3 of 4, only losing the blowout Pittsburgh game.
Three today:
Detroit (Turnbull) +240 at Houston (Aaron Sanchez) - Sanchez had been doing better with his new team, but got hit hard last time out. Turnbull is better than his 3-11 record indicates.
Colorado (Freeland) at Arizona (Young) - Under 10 -120 - Freeland's horrid numbers are mostly a product of the fact that he has mostly started at home, where he gets killed
SF (Beede) at Cubs (Hamels) - Over 10.5 -115 - Sharps on this one big time. Wind blowing out, Hamels bombed last two outings, Beede 4-5 ER last 5 outings
-
Ugly 0-3 day yesterday.
Here are two today:
Angels (P. Sandoval) +113 at Texas (Minor)
Miami (C. Smith) +171 at Atlanta (Teheran)
Both start soon
-
Just one today, attempting to break a 5-game losing streak.
Oakland (Roark) +110 vs. Yankees (Tanaka)
-
Won last night with Oakland.
Might have more later, but here's one right now.
Betting on the dreadful O's.
Trevor Richards is the starter (not clear how long he'll go, but I don't believe he's just the opener). He was rapidly declining as a starter with Miami, before being demoted to reliever, then traded, then demoted to the minors, and he's pitched just once in MLB in the past month.
So this is more of a bet against him.
Yes, Blach sucks too. Still can't resist the line against Richards on the road here.
Baltimore (Blach) +178 vs. Tampa (T. Richards)
-
Lost that one early.
Only thing I've done correctly this MLB season has been totals.
Weird season for betting baseball. Been a challenge.
So here's a total.
Miami (Yamamato) vs. Philly (Eflin) - Under 9 -115
-
Lost that one. In a big slump, took two days off.
One today:
Arizona (Leake) +122 at San Francisco (Samardzija)
-
That Arizona pick won despite some late inning drama.
A lot of the sharps today are on Bauer against Dakota Hudson, who has pitched 19 1/3 scoreless over 3 games. I can't pull the trigger on it.
I will pull the trigger on this reverse Trapper John play:
Tampa Bay (Pruitt) +127 vs. Cleveland (Bieber)
-
Two more:
Angels (Jose Suarez) +109 vs. Boston (Eovaldi)
Pittsburgh (Agrazal) at Colorado (Senzatela) - OVER 14 -110
Never went with over 14 in my life, but these are two pitchers looking awful lately, and both are at Coors. Has slugfest written all over it.
-
Easy win with Tampa, but two tough losses with the others. Angels lost in 15 innings (!!), and Pittsburgh/Col scored 13.
Starting in 10 min:
Cleveland (Plesac) at Tampa Bay (Castillo) - Under 8.5
-
Baltimore (Bundy) at Kansas City (Lopez) - Under 9 +100 (Under 9.5 -120 ok)
Pittsburgh (Musgrove) -122 at Colorado (Melville)
Seattle (Wisler) at Texas (Burke) - Under 10.5 -115
-
Texas (Lynn) +150 at Yankees (Green)
Starting at 3:40 PT
Yankees are sitting LeMahieu and Sanchez, and Green is only the opener.
-
Lost because Texas couldn't score.
Last minute:
Cubs (Quintana) -114 at Milwaukee (C. Anderson)
Toronto (Thornton) +163 at Tampa (Pruitt)
-
Three unders starting very shortly:
Philadelphia (Eflin) at Mets (Matz) - Under 8.5 -115
Yankees (German) at Boston (Chacin) - Under 10.5 +100 -- Chacin likely just an opener
Texas (Burke) at Baltimore (Bundy) - Under 9 -115
-
One more under:
KC (J. Lopez) at Miami (P. Lopez) - Under 8.5 -114
-
Went 2-2, but should have won the Mets under. Got screwed there.
Last minute
Philly (Smyly) at Mets (Stroman) - Under 8.5 -105
White Sox (Covey) +136 vs. Angels (Heaney)
-
Last munute: Boston (Eovaldi) at Toronto (Zeuch) - Under 10 +100
-
Pittsburgh (Keller) +110 at San Francisco (Cueto) - Cueto's first start since very long injury, not much prep, won't pitch well
Cubs (Quintana) at San Diego (Bolanos) - OVER 9 +100
