    Teasers are working again. Watching tennis not football but I suspect most of the teasers were unnecessary for me.

    Not losing is more important than winning.

    Was every human on Vikings? I peered into the Vegas NFL contest stats preflop and Vikings were #1. I still teased ‘em.

    Huge 3rd set. Great fight

    Won everything but the Terrible Twins.

    NYG pull it off by a hair.

    Guys, here's some friendly advice regarding 6 pt teasers. They are very bad value unless the base line is:

    -8.5 to -7.5
    OR
    +1.5 to +2.5

    Otherwise you're just killing yourself. Do a parlay instead.

    Also try to not tease games with a high total.

    This is a public service announcement, not just aimed at Sanlmar, who I didn't even think teased until I saw the above.

    But I will say that I love Sanlmar's thought process on many of his bets, so it hurts me to see him talk about teasers.

    I really hate picking the Angels, and my only loss yesterday was against the Injuns, but here I go again fading the Injuns and picking the Angels.

    Angels (Detmers) +104 at Cleveland (Pilkington)

    Pilikington is a rookie with a 1.606 WHIP over 47 innings, and just a 41-27 K/BB ratio.

    I had the Broncos last night. I was a victim of the casuals public Seahawks narrative. Small. Just trying to create some football interest on a slow night. I just couldn’t get into it. The failure of the Broncos inept offense was just boring. Hats off to Pete Carroll.

    Anyway…

    Injuns are a shifty breed. They scalped Druff. .

    Today there is value me thinks

    968 Cleveland Guardians -126

    Basically a bullpen mismatch handicap

    I notice I am not doing F5 much anymore. I’m not doing much of anything tbh. Tennis was the nuts and I’m feeling a let down. Can’t top that competition and betting. Alcaraz my hero. Youngest #1 ever. I was all over it

    Every one of my picks did win outright. It was a +200’ish teaser.

    I was just trying to get involved in NFL - maybe watch a couple games and get drawn into some handicaps. I just can’t get into football this year. I didnt watch anyway despite my best intentions cause TENNIS

    I was kinda insuring my leans cause basically I don’t know what I’m doing. I used some of the Circa contest picks for info which was lazy and clever. That was my Vikings pick along with hating Aaron Rodgers

    I followed most of the accepted rules

    That's a good question. I'm going to say yes. He had two starts against the Dodgers -- one terrible, one good. Then he's had two starts since, and neither has looked very good, including one against these Phillies.

    This Falter kid isn't great, but he's not terrible. Hasn't thrown a shutout performance yet, but doesn't seem to get bombed. Usually you get 5-6 solid ones out of him.

    Let's do it.

    Philadelphia (Falter) +110 at Miami (Alcantara)

    Here's two more... a bullpen game fading a hot pitcher, and a total. I'll forgive you if you don't want the Brewers.


    Milwaukee (Bush/bullpen) +160 at St. Louis (Montgomery)
    Colorado (Kuhl) at White Sox (Kopech) - Over 8.5 -105

    Kopech just came back from injury and didn't look quite right in his first start since. Kuhl just isn't very good.

    Dear Mr Chaps,

    I am writing you to express some concerns.

    First, very nice (Borat voice) Pirates.

    I actually marked Red Sox +1½ -146.
    May parlay with CWS for some plus odds. Injured Yankees are just an average team & a guy named Judge. Bello is pretty darn good. He’s one of my workers. Two equally meh bullpens. Gonna flip the bullpen coin. Wish I got back on the F5 train but I ain’t perfect.

    I’m an Injuns guy - hopefully Sandoval Angels doesn’t go deep. Go with god.

    Yung Druff - we on Wainwright Cardinals +111 (not a penny less)?


    Mariners -155 is value.

    Get away day end of season - gotta have rocks in our head.



    What’s the deal with Dustin May? You scheduling a trip where there is no internet in October?

    Nobody uses ERA

    I had him F5 his last appearance for a WIN. Then the Sawks bullpen gave up the game

    Nobody gives a shit about Wins & Losses for pitchers


    Cease has 42 pitches and he ain’t outta 2nd inning so what do I know. FML. Cy Young dreams evaporating every day

    Went 2-1 yesterday, only lost the total.

    So let's do a total again.

    Kansas City (Greinke) at Minnesota (Gray) - Under 7.5 -120

    I had Bello's last game, too, except not first-5 so I lost. Was one of those irritating close losses, of which I've had a bunch in September.

    Twins under looking good at the moment. Part of me wanted to take Royals ML but I talked myself out of it, thankfully.

    only downside is I played these 4 picks plus Stros runline on my corner store ticket and Astros only mustered up a 2-1 win. so bad.

    Perfect as far as I’m concerned Chaps.

    I am not impressed with Astros. They will not figure in my playoff outlook

    Thread is hitting something like 75% lately.

    I got my NFL Giants pick right. Let's try again this week:

    New Orleans +125 moneyline (+2.5 ok) vs Tampa Bay
    Atlanta +10.5 at Rams
    San Francisco -8.5 vs Seattle
