Brutal 1-4 day yesterday.
None of these losses were blowouts, either.
Milwaukee lost 3-2. The same game had 3 runs in the first and couldn't cover Over 7.5. The Atlanta pick was up 3-0, then tied 3-3 for a long time, before finally falling apart at the end. The Texas under got off to a horrendous start, but ended up only losing by 1 run.
Only that Boston under managed to cover, though barely.
I'm coming back with Milwaukee today:
Milwaukee (Guerra) +155 at Cubs (Quintana)
Guerra has been a pleasant surprise in 2018. He was a sleeper in 2016, was awful in 2017, and has pitched well in 2 starts this year.
Quintana has a 7.79 ERA after a terrible April, which not uncommon for him. April is the worst month of his career. Yes, it's still barely April, but it's clear once again that he hasn't warmed up yet.
Game starts 11:20am PDT

Lost the above.
I've been running bad in baseball lately, resulting in breaks taken on both Thursday and Saturday.
I'm 1-5 in my last 6 picks.
I'll post the full record shortly.
I'm back with two against-the-public unders, and one with-the-public side:
Kansas City (Hammel) at Boston (E. Rodriguez) - Under 8.5
Tampa (Faria) at Detroit (Zimmerman) - Under 8.5
at Minnesota (Lynn) -114 vs. Toronto (Aaron Sanchez)

Looks like 1-2 is likely.
San Diego (Lauer) +149 at San Francisco (Samardzija)
Lauer got BOMBED in his ML debut.... but it was at Coors Field.
He actually has good minor league numbers, and is considered to have decent upside.
Samardzija sucks. He's had one good start, one bad start, but overall is pretty much crap.
SF is also a little banged up and has a career reserve and minor leaguer in the 7-8 spots tonight.
Game starts at 7:15 PDT.

but on the bright side for you.....SF just got finished playing 4 games in less than 48 hours (fri-sunday) and their bullpen is well used up.
Tonight:
at Washington -1.5 (Scherzer) -110 vs. Pittsburgh (Kuhl)
Atlanta (Soroka) +167 at Mets (Syndergaard)
Dodgers (Kershaw) at Arizona (Koch) - Under 7.5

Philadelphia (Eflin) at Miami (Jarlin Garcia) - Under 8.5 +100

Came 1 out away from hitting this one.
SD 5, SF 3 with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th and a man on 1st.
End up losing 6-3 on a walkoff single with the bases loaded.
Hand was out of gas and the manager didn't take him out, as managers often refuse to do with their closers.

Everything held except Tor/Min under. That one was 4-3 in the 8th, and 4-4 going into the 9th, but 3 runs came in the top half of the 9th, and I lost. Can't ever hit those.
But still a good day, going 4-1 including that +167 Braves hit.
The Braves win snapped an ugly losing streak of 5 games in a row where I had sides.
I'm now 2-0 backing Scherzer -1.5.
Still batting .000 on overs.

Good day, Druff. Finally I’m awake early enough and I was smart enough to check this thread. Glad I did.
I had some other bets too that I had already put in, that were similar to some of yours.
I was certain my Jets -1.5 bet was doomed when they were losing something like 0-3 or 0-4, but nope, they turnt it around for the win. !
Dare I do another double Cubs bet involving F Yu?
Why not...
Starting 11:20am PDT
Colorado (T. Anderson) +199 at Cubs (Darvish)
Colorado/Cubs - Under 10.5 -115
Two notes:
Anderson has had weird chest pain recently, and it interrupted his last start. However, he thinks it won't be a big deal, and I believe it won't show up again today.
Wind is blowing out of Wrigley at about 11mph, hence the high total. So beware betting this if you are afraid of wind-influenced totals at Wrigley.
Check out my poker forum, and weekly internet radio show at http://pokerfraudalert.com
Wind actually up to 20 now. Wrigley is weird because it is perceived as being a hitter's park because of its dimensions, but early in the year the cold wind blows in and it is difficult to hit.
The weather changed this week--we're in the 80's with the wind blowing out. Now the question is will the cubs ever start hitting. Rizzo's home run last night was a pop up to short.
Cub fans are all giddy about Yu and Quintana. I think they are both losers with not enough heart.
Agree regarding Yu and Quintana.
Easily hit the Colorado +199. Nolan Arenado killed my over in the 8th. Still ahead +0.99.
Won't fault you if you don't trust one of my over picks... but here is one I've been looking at for awhile, and I'm going to fire on it. Starting at 4:05pm PDT
Pittsburgh (Nova) at Washington (Strasburg) - Over 8 +102
Check out my poker forum, and weekly internet radio show at http://pokerfraudalert.com
Washington over hit easily.
So let's take our 2.01 units up for the day and put them both at risk with this two-pronged play:
Oakland (Brett Anderson) +159 at Seattle (Paxton)
Oakland/Seattle under 8 -110
Believe it or not, Anderson has looked excellent in his AAA starts, striking out 25 in 19 innings, walking 2, and allowing 2 ER total.
Check out my poker forum, and weekly internet radio show at http://pokerfraudalert.com
3-2 Oakland...
With 2 out in the 9th and men on 1st and 2nd, Dee Gordon hit a grounder and the play at 1st was super close. He was called out to end the game....
...but...
Upon review, it was overturned (mistake, imo), and the game was back alive, with bases loaded.
Thankfully Segura grounded out to end it, and that was that.
Won both picks, to cap off my second consecutive strong day.
Today:
Colorado (T. Anderson) +199 at Cubs (Darvish) - WON +1.99
Colorado/Cubs - Under 10.5 -115 - LOST -1
Pittsburgh (Nova) at Washington (Strasburg) - Over 8 +102 - WON +1.020
Oakland (Brett Anderson) +159 at Seattle (Paxton) - WON +1.590
Oakland/Seattle under 8 -110 - WON +0.909
TOTAL TODAY: 4-1, +4.509
GRAND TOTAL: 34-29-2, +7.188 units
Overs: 1-3
Spread (-1.5): 2-0
Unders: 20-14-2
Sides: 11-12
I'm actually up in 3 of the 4 categories (all but overs) because I had a number of underdogs with the sides, so my 11-12 record is actually a winner.
The last two days have been great, going 8-2 and +7.958. They have almost completely erased the funk I've been in for the past 10 days or so.
Hope you got in on some of these.

Hi Dan:
I had been distracted and the only action yesterday I was on was your Over at Pittsburgh v Washington. I am glad I was on the only Over you have cashed on. That game was not even close as I was in the money by the middle of the game.
Thanks for your work and sharing.
FAB
Not much I like today.
Still considering later games.
One game I do like may not happen, or may not happen with the pitchers I want.
*** GAME 2 OF DOUBLEHEADER ***
** MAKE SURE THESE TWO PITCHERS ARE GOING -- BET "LISTED", NOT ACTION **
Toronto (Biagini) at Cleveland (Plutko) - Under 10 -105
Plutko is yet another "rookie pitcher who is hot in the minors right now" story. Ignore his only 2 Major League starts (back in 2016) where he pitched poorly.
There is a chance this game won't happen, or that they will end up swapping pitchers around.
Currently on rain delay for game 1.

Cleveland hung a big 7 in the 5th and that was all she wrote yesterday.
Here's what I got so far on the afternoon games:
Miami (W. Chen) at Cincinnati (Romano) - Under 9 -115
San Francisco (Stratton) at Atlanta (Foltynewicz) - Under 9 -105
Notes:
Miami pick is very anti-public
SF pick is semi-public (that is, public moderately favors my pick)
Atlanta has mashed the ball lately. Acuna, Albies, Markakis, Freeman have been super hot. And Stratton got bombed last time out. So keep all that in mind before tailing me on that one.
I know it might be hard to bring yourself to bet an under on two offensive juggernauts like the Reds and Marlins, but try to force yourself.

Considered the under on the Chicago/St. Louis game but decided I'll pass.
I'm looking at one more: Under on the Angels. That one starts after 7pm PDT, so I'll post it closer to game time if I like it.
Interesting one in Arizona -- you can get like +180 right now on the Dbacks AT HOME!
That's very tempting, even though they're up against Houston and Gerrit Cole, and even though they're sending out washed up Kris Medlen, who hasn't pitched in the Majors since 2016, was horrible that year, and didn't look too good in the minors this year. Very tough decision on that one. Can you really pass on a +180 on a 21-11 team at home, just because their starting pitcher is awful?
I'm considering that too.
