You did turn me on to this so credit due.
Minny’s Berrios is so overrated that I just couldn’t fade the Orioles despite yesterday’s discussion. Went to extras but still woulda paid. Mixed feelings. A cheap domestic beer will cure that.
I forgot to mention Orioles in my post yesterday. They may be the team to fade all summer. AL East is dominant, they will be getting beat up all summer long by TB NY BOSTON TORONTO
This week, I am keeping it simple:
Rays every game + Rays series -115
Game 1 was very big for series bet, not a huge fan of betting a series price when team has Cole going game 3, but Rays tend to own the Yankees. Looking fantastic now with Glasnow going tomorrow
Twins Series -220
Got very lucky in game 1, Twins have won something like 15 straight vs Baltimore
Mets Series -210
Hope DeGrom finishes a strong day 1 for me
For now, I am trying to stick with this plan. As you saw, my NHL SERIES bets were 0-3 in the first round, so taking a step back and focusing on baseball. Seeing how the strategy of “playing the streak plays out”, let’s see if we can find another Rays-esque spot.
I really hate laying those prices with Twins and Mets btw, would almost always prefer to take the dog but let’s see how pounding the streaks go this week!
