    No Joe Davis in the booth makes the historic night perfect.

    No way Ohtani sits out last game. He gonna be a man like Ted Williams

    I have F5 BTTS 2+ +100 ✅
    As a long time cry baby about the sun setting on the Golden Age of Wagering because of legalization I have come to admit I had the best MLB regular season of my life.

    I attribute my success largely to BTTS. I also very often used BTTS (F7 especially) as a juice reducer with very few consequences. The age of easy data like Outlier and BPP contributed too

    We will see what the post season brings. I doubt I will surpass my success with the Dodger post season blow ups of years past.

    But I hate the bleachers in LA so much, it was hard to do it. All the gang members, drunks, etc... I wouldn't take those tickets for free. I imagine Denver is probably different.

    Where I sit in Dodger Stadium, everyone is well behaved. And in the parking lot, nobody is gonna bother a middle aged white guy in a Dodgers shirt. But in the bleachers, it's a shitty experience.

    Anyway, Ohtani is on an absolute tear, and I think he's gonna pass Arraez, now that the latter is out of action.
    We only picked those tickets because it was a good deal. The potential ball factor was just a bonus.

    Pretty much every between-innings warm-up ball was eventually thrown into our section by the center fielders, which was cool.

    It was a good time. Coors is a great park, and the weather was perfect.

    the MLB officially recognized the Negro Leagues as being "Major" in 2020

    so how good were players in the Negro Leagues comparatively___________?__________very, very good imo

    Satchel Paige pitched in both leagues - even though most of his MLB career was during his 40s for a few of those years he had a better ERA than when he was much younger and pitching in the Negro Leagues

    Willie Mays played just one year in the Negro Leagues and batted only .239 - his first full year in MLB he batted .274

    Roy Campanella played several years in both leagues and in some of those years had a higher BA in the MLB than in the Negro League - see link

    Larry Doby also played several years in both leagues and his BA was only slightly higher in the Negro Leagues than in the MLB - see link

    We have to load up on Braves here, right? Mets already have clinched. Outside AZ, everyone is loading on Braves here. My book doesn't even have line posted yet. Feels like they are going to -290 ML us. Books can get rich on this game

    oh fuck, -445, they ruin everything

    Just live bet Mets at +290 middle of 2nd. Its baseball, weirder things have happened. Braves trotted out their (normally) top bullpen arms in game 1.

    Soler immediately doubles to lead off the braves 2nd.

    I bet o.5 runs +185 second inning after Mets didn't score. I might win, but I missed a lead off win by like 2 inches

    I am already on inning 3 Braves to win inning +170. Tie loses. I have feelings of handshake agreements

    5th on should be a live o.5 run extravaganza

    Lost that one. Same Braves to win inning bet for inning 4 at +200.

    Will be here for 0.5 bullpen hijinks.

    Already in 5, 6, 7

    Degens have already distended the prices to 5th -125 & 6th -135. I never had an original thought

    Idiotic with Holmes dealing but I have no self control

    I am skipping ahead to Braves win inning 6 at +205. I trust bottom of Braves lineup more today than top.

    I can't get a hit against a guy who is on pitch 110. I blame Olson who won't just take his walk.

    Go gut at this point.

    This game is the textbook definition of meaningless for Mets and 5 & 6 were zeros. Oh well, down 1 unit after the 7th
