It’s a thought. Buehler was never expected to go beyond 5 and now you have two bad bullpens. Gotta pass
Buehler Dodgered disaster with bases loaded. This was hindsight talking to you

If it weren't for the blister, this would be a good play. But he looked horrendous in his previous start, and even Ohtani admits the blister isn't gone, but is rather being "managed". Uh huh. Can't trust him at this point to pitch like he did before.
No joke, yesterday I saw the Angels as one of the later games as a decent sized dog, and thought I liked them. Told myself I would get back to it later after making the rest of the picks, and then totally spaced out on it, and forgot I had noted that game in my head. Of course it won. Pretty sure I would have fired on it, even (gasp) opposing a then-unstoppable Daly chalk streak. (Full disclosure, up until that point I agreed with all 9 of Daly's other chalk plays, and in fact almost bet them.)

Dodgers (-280) lose at home to the Marlins. Fun, but what if....
Kershaw -380 v Marlins Weds
What is the record?
If Kershaw was younger and had a winning record and the Dodgers didn’t suck - what would it be vs the wretched Marlins?
How many units would you be up if you autofaded Dodgers this year every game? It must be a uniquely surprising amount of money. Public as fuck.
I should have these tools but I don’t.
That Mets win was ugly.
Aside from that Jay Bruce go-ahead HR, St. Louis pretty much handed it to New York.
In the first, a badly misplayed fly ball went for a triple, and the Mets cut their deficit to 2-1.
Mets then fell behind 4-1.
However, Matheny mismanaged Luke Weaver, who clearly suddenly lost the ability to throw strikes. After walking two batters on 4 pitches each, and then throwing 4 bad pitches to Yoenis Cespedes (who stupidly swung at one), it was a 3-1 count. Then Weaver finally fired a strike -- right down the middle, and Cespedes hammered it for a 463-foot bomb. Matheny should have taken him out as soon as he walked that second batter. on 4 pitches (none of the 8 pitches were close). Amazingly, Weaver was left in there to flail after the Cespedes HR, walked yet another batter, and was finally being removed. However, no further runs scored.
Then St. Louis got up 5-4, and New York caught them 5-5.
Then St. Louis had 1st and 2nd nobody out in the bottom of the 9th, and I was getting ready to make another post bitching about always losing in the final inning. But a strikeout and double play, and suddenly the inning was over.
The Bruce cracked that HR in the 10th, and the Cards went meekly in the bottom half of the frame. Game over. Ship +170.
Part of me felt like a fraud for winning that one. But then I reminded myself that my bet was mostly against Weaver, who gave up 6 runs and 9 hits in his last outing, and I didn't feel he deserved such a strong favorite line against a competent Mets team. I was a bit worried about Wheeler (who was indeed not very good), but +170 was just too good to pass up. So this one fell my way, after looking like it was destined to lose three different times -- when the Mets trailed 4-1, when they trailed 5-4 going to the 8th, and when the Cards had runners on 1st and 2nd with nobody out in the bottom of the 9th.
Record keeping:
4/23:
Oakland (Cahill) at Texas (Moore) - Under 10 +100 - LOST -1
4/24:
Mets (Wheeler) +170 at St. Louis (L. Weaver) - WON +1.700

Today is CRACK THE ACES day:
So today is a bunch of Aces pitching and I have 2 plays that I like .
First Play is Chicago White Sox vs Seattle Mariners . King Felix is on the hill for Seattle pitching against the Sox for his 20th Career time. Bad timing I suppose cause the King is not having a great year so far and he also is what like 50 years old? Anyways The White Sox Historically have OWNED him and I am going to grab The +140 number on the overnight as it has already started plummeting at certain books.
Chicago White Sox +140
Second Play : San Fran Giants vs Washington Nat's . Can I really beat Sherzer here? I think I can . Nat's have lost a bunch in a row while the Giants have put together 3 in a row. Nat's are finishing off a road trip and they just seem very uninterested so far this year . Ill jump on the +135 offered on the overnight as I have a sneaky suspicion this number is going to drop before game time .
San Fran Giants +135
ADDED GAME:*****DETROIT TIGERS +148 ***GAME (975 on the board) 2nd of the double header.
I liked the Tigers in this spot last night but game was rained out. I still like this matchup for the Tigers .
Lets Crack Some Aces
Good Luck

Seattle Mariners @ Chicago White Sox OVER 9.5 -115
