So frustrating.
Manning indeed did not survive the rain delay. A shit reliever coughed up 5 runs after Tigers got up 3-0 after 2.
Exactly what I was worried about.
That dick shaped thunderstorm really went right up my ass on this one.

Englebert lolOriginally Posted by Dan Druff
I hit the eject button thankfully
Yeah 7-3 now. Awful.
I'm convinced I win this one if no rain.
Oh well. Had to lose eventually.
Englebert gave up 9. Wow. Why leave him in to flail like that, even with the game a lost cause?
At least I can stop checking the score now.
Morning games
Dodgers (Sheehan) -115 at Texas (Ma. Perez)
Cubs (Taillon) +107 vs St. Louis (Montgomery)
Milwaukee (Teheran) +139 vs Atlanta (Elder)
One more
San Francisco (Alexander) at Washington (Gore) - over 9 -115
Winner winner chicken dinner!!
BALLIN'!!
You lost us at Ed Sheeran
There isn’t a person who follows baseball that isn’t calling him Ed.
Very odd spot to violate your house rule. Everything ok?
Fun game between Toronto (Berrios) & LAD (Grove). Two of our best cappers Simpdog and Druff are delusional about their respective teams and that’s fun.
Gonna be hot and humid with poor air quality in LA. Ball should be flying.
LAD smashes righties and is 2nd in MLB in drawing walks.
I dunno if another one of those Sawks/Dodgers swaps, JD Martinez, is gonna be in lineup. He was out yesterday. I’d like to see him.
LAD Grove is another over rated pitching prospect (over rated is the LAD team logo). He’s gonna get smashed.
I have this thing over 10.
I’m parlaying combinations of SDP (Yu Darvish) -1.5 and Jays/Dodger alternate totals (7.5 & 8.5) these each yield +155 & +185. Traditionally, we skip home team (SDP) run lines cause we lose an at bat bottom 9 but with Darvish vs lame ass Pittsburg we make an exception.
It is important here to express our disgust with the Padres. They should be sellers cause this ain’t working. As well, the entire NL West is currently imploding recently. Preseason I was excited at the prospect of this traditionally weak division rebounding but good grief. It’s important to the game that the NL West show some heart. I bet a Padres to have the best record in baseball. So bad.
Anyhoo…
Being a nit I did some SDP ML (-250) with alt LAD totals too.
You could just bet the over 9.5 which I feel is a good play but I don’t know what balls are being used or the LA humidor situation. Weirdness is definitely happening post ASG.
These are two ploppie games so I chose to bet overnight and try to get some CLV.
Mookie Betts is all over social media and podcasts. Apparently he has his own podcast as well. Immediately, I’m reminded of that other Dodger podcaster & sex offender Bauer. What few glimpses of Betts I’ve seen I’ve kinda been turned off by a smugness. It just might be me being repulsed by Dodger arrogance without results. Freeman has a nice touch here.
I hear Giolito’s name and the Dodgers. There’s a guy with an attitude.
Winner winner chicken dinner!!
Holy shit!
Nice hit
Thanks pal hope you enjoyed your trip? Other than the lovely Sunday weather I mean, lol!
BALLIN'!!
Little early to start counting money on these but off to a great start.
Strider pulled into the lead last night. I expect that to stick going forward (adjusted for equal amount of starts). All about making the 31 starts now.
Official Bed Shit on the two ROY bets.
Fortunately we have this to look forward too.
Don’t be afraid to collect strider walk prop money tho. He’s often available at over 1.5. Snell and Senga are two auto bets. From top top guys.
I’m a walk junky. Rooting against human achievement is satisfying
Strider will have 9 strikeouts on 60 pitches or some madness.
You got the strikeout but I got the RoY.
Got punched in the face by MLB yesterday.
San Francisco couldn't score against the LOL Washington pitching staff, and that game finished 6-1. Over lost.
Atlanta was Atlanta and had an 8th-inning comeback, overcoming Milwaukee's thin 2-1 lead. Lost.
Dodgers were up 4-0 but their pitching woes continued, and they lost 8-4. Lost.
Only success story was the Cubs, who broke out to a 7-0 lead, and never looked back. Jameson Taillon is somehow pitching well last few outings, and should be watched for betting purposes.
So I went 1-3 and lost a bit less than 2 units. Ugh.
That makes me 1-4 since rolling off 6 wins in a row. To be fair, none of these 4 losses were bad picks. The Detroit pick was going well until the rain delay, the Dodgers were up 4-0 to start, the Brewers were up in the 8th inning (and for most of the game), and the Nationals scored 6 runs when I had over 9.
All I can do is make good picks, and hope the luck is with me.
Stand by.
Let's look at old Dodgers friend Kenta Maeda.
He sports a troublesome 5.10 ERA through 9 starts. At age 35, is he done?
Not so fast. A look at his individual games shows a horrendous 10-run beatdown in 3 innings on April 26. Turned out he had a bad elbow, pitched anyway, and then was out for 2 months recovering.
Let's look at his 5 stats since returning. All have been good except a surprisingly bad one in Oakland on July 14, where he was wild. Against the Mariners, whom he's facing today, he allowed just 1 hit in 5 innings, with zero walks. He finally tired in the 6th and coughed up a 2-run HR, but otherwise pitched great.
Luis Castillo seems to be going great overall, with a 3.04 ERA and 1.048 WHIP. But let's look a bit closer again. In 5 of his past 6 starts, he's coughed up 2 HR. This is starting to become an issue.
Minnesota has won 8 of 10, and is starting to pull away in the tight AL Central. They are 29-22 at home.
I believe this game will go to the Twins.
Minnesota (Maeda) -110 vs Seattle (L. Castillo)
Ed Sheeran can’t throw a slider for a strike to save his life. Doesn’t prevent him from trying tho. Dodgers gotta let their starters stay out there no matter what cause pitching depth problems
Bad pick Bad.
I actually took Dodgers today with Bo Miller. It’s so bad it might be good. Bo really is not that bad recently. Ploppies are scared by simple numbers. Toronto bullpen is exhausted and largely unavailable
As soon as it started, I realized the over was the proper play with that one. I was too focused upon Perez being shitty and the Dodgers hitting well. Barnes being in the lineup didn't help, either. Automatic out.Ed Sheeran can’t throw a slider for a strike to save his life. Doesn’t prevent him from trying tho.

Does he still have a negative WAR?As soon as it started, I realized the over was the proper play with that one. I was too focused upon Perez being shitty and the Dodgers hitting well. Barnes being in the lineup didn't help, either. Automatic out.
You can have Kike back btw. I’ll drive him to the airport
2 outs, bottom 9th. Nobody on. 2-1 Twins.
Base hit. Then Kolten Wong, of all people, smacks a HR. 3-2 Mariners. Ugh.
Fortunately the Twins got 2 doubles in the bottom of the 9th, tying it, but failing to win in a walkoff.
They got out of the top of the 10th with the phantom runner on 2nd, and then scored in the bottom half.
All's well that ends well.
Two games today, one early, one later this afternoon.
St. Louis (Flaherty) +127 at Arizona (Gallen)
Zac Gallen has given up 10 HR since June 4
Detroit (Lorenzen) -104 vs Angels (P. Sandoval)
Patrick Sandoval has walked 9 in last 3 starts combined, Michael Lorenzen has given up 0 ER in last 3 starts
