Well... I'm in a bit of a slump.
Which is why I don't love trying to get out of it with a big dog, but here we are.
James Paxton is 5.40 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 23:9 K/BB since July 1. I'm going with the Royals today and their bullpen to take this one over Boston. You can list Paxton but leave it open for the Royals.
Kansas City (bullpen/Cox) +195 at Boston (Paxton)

3 years is very generous. AI is about to hit too on both sides of the counter. Edges so tiny. Lines so efficient. Customer targeting so sad.
I hope China has made his nut or will soon. The future is wagering-tainment not creating tickets. Maybe that’s what you meant by, “we will see more of him”. It’s about views
I wouldn't worry about Chinas well being.
I had a discussion with a guy earlier this week that knows more about the sports wagering ecosystem than anyone else I know. He is certainly qualified enough to get that level if praise from me. The gyst of the conversation was local PPH based sportsbooks are dead from a true sharp betting perspective. He in turn had a meeting with 5 of the largest bookies in the area and to a man they have all told there old reliable clients they will continue on with them. Don't bother to ask them to open any dime accounts for some random new guy. New accounts are $200 max if at all. You will need to fill out a sports credit app to get in action going forward.
TL;DR Syndicates are going to hammer public books for as long as they can. They done monkeying around with pph.
I don’t know what you are going on about.

In keeping with opportunity and the times I knew China had quit poker and shifted to sports betting some time ago. During the Golden Age as it were
There have been eras when guys saw opportunity and cleaned up. Poker, Bitcoin, sports wagering. Now I’m told he’s the subject of a podcast so perhaps he killed it. Why would I be “worried” for him? China must have done something important. Nobody is looking to interview you or I.
If you wanna share the link, I’ll take it.
China did a great pod on poker which I praised a decade ago in real time. He was far more real about poker than poker podcasters of that era. He might turn out to be a great wagering podcaster and clean up there too. I understand the wagering pod money for some has been downright stupid. Why take risk when you can just talk about it?
I had a favorite wagering pod. I liked it less because of the picks and more because of the banter between the three guys. They insulted each other and disrespected the other’s choices. They were funny. Very New Jersey/New York. It was entertaining. One of the guys and my personal favorite seems to have suffered a mental episode and will not come on air anymore. I wonder if it was his mental challenge or he was getting harassed by some busto viewer. Fruitcake viewers could be an occupational risk. The chemistry was never the same. These guys were playing jazz. Other podcasts are just a collection of instruments.
Its a manner of speaking San. China is doing well being the point.
Civale versus Cle is intriguing. I just can’t figure out the angle. Would be insta under if Curry could go 7, as he’s been very good, but he’s in this weird relief one day/spot start bullpen game slot and the Tribe’s middle relief has been very hit/miss.
I saw that last night. Honestly this slate looks like the special Olympics. The trash going to the hill is almost comical. It’s been a really wonky week.
Maybe you’ve inspired me to take another peek.
Cleveland +170
Low scoring flip at a big plus number Hate Josh Naylor out. Clase still has pitches left.
I bet a small one topping pizza.

August dog days struggles.
I have two for you anyway.
Pittsburgh (Oviedo) -111 vs Cincinnati (Abbott)
Two pitchers going completely opposite directions.
Arizona (Nelson) +144 vs San Diego (Snell)
Arizona? Aren’t they 11-28 lately? They could be the worst team in baseball atm. Wow the NL West is dog shit. As usual, I guess. We had hopes at the start.
Why am I obsessed with this Det v Sawks game? Sale return and public on Det. Wanna take Sawks but…

Stunning loss for Alcaraz to American Tommy Paul. This kid has hurt me several times. I’m in pain. It’s gonna take a week to forget this loss.
Does Alcaraz join the over rated Jays on the perpetually overpriced ban list? Bo Bichette’s father (ex MLB player himself) really wanted his son, the Jays shortstop, to play tennis instead.
I don’t know if Alcaraz is a roids kid, has a conditioning issue, bad team or is getting caught up in the jet set….. or if his worst failing is simply being a kid

I am not yet prepared to make a statement regarding Spencer Strider (game 2). When the jury returns you will be notified. It’s not looking good for him. Prepare your things
Lucas Glover really is breaking my balls at this point.
Must be serious heat, all the golfers have betty swollocks
A bit like me sweating Hun An and Andrew Putnam
Putnam just chipped in from 50 yards lol. Distinctly average big son
BALLIN'!!
a little clarification on the heavy money from me on Lucas Glover.... it is kinda heavy money for me .... $115 Glover to finish top 30 at -110 ,$1 Glover to win at1dollarboxcar: Glover is gonna gonna be good for me this tourney..... heavy money money for me to finish top 30.... pre tournament... sorry he burned you
+7500... Hovland to win $1 at +2000... won $8 on a round 1 matchup between Tony Finau vs. Wyndam Clark.... that was my play this tourney... now just to sit back and hopefully relax the rest of the tourney....
Alright. Too much chatter and not enough picks from me.
Both plus money parlays.
Red Sox/Houston
Red Sox/Dodgers.
Bellinger 1+ hit or HRR as a piece is ok. I know he missed last time but he’s 9 for 10
Det Manning last 3 is an era & whip approaching 10. Struggling.
Manning's struggles carried over into Sunday's start. He allowed five runs through the first two innings and later gave up his second home run of the day in the fourth. The 25-year-old was miraculously one out away from completing six frames but was yanked after allowing consecutive base hits. Manning has put together a very forgettable three-game stretch during which he's allowed 19 runs (17 earned) on 23 hits, including six home runs over his last 16.2 innings. The Tigers don't really have any better options at this point, so Manning figures to stick around. He's tentatively lined up to face the Red Sox on the road in his next start.

Like the Reds in game 1. Keller has been in meh/ok form at best last five-six starts. Williamson has been in good form. Keller has more upside, but had trouble spotting fastball and keeping pitch count down or getting beat up in half his last six starts after very good start to season.
Can get Reds slightly plus money. The books and schedule have Williamson starting game one. The preview article on espn says otherwise, so if something strange occurs, could be void bet, but doubtful.
Not a lot of Reds have much history against Keller. Steer is 2/4. Kind of like his over 1.5 hits/runs/rbi prop at -140, but it won’t let me same game that. Just a horrible hits combo that only makes +114 to +140 and that isn’t enough value.
Pirates are starting Andre Jackson in second game. Kid that the Dodgers gave up on and Pirates picked up. He’s legit looked like the nastiest fucker alive since arriving. Against Braves and Brewers. This is his first start and won’t go more than 3 I imagine. Only factors into a first inning or first 5 prop, but take a look at this kid since joining pirates. Then again, I’ve seen relievers fall apart with a start, different mentality, but I was shocked Dodgers gave up on him given his stuff when on.
I mean hovland was in last place after say one and is one good shot from being tied for the lead. He fucking doubled the 18th hole twice.
Feel good about the fact that he was the best player for the course this weekend the way he has played 41 of the last 42 holes.
misfire ^^ and yeah a missed shot on this course will KILL you.
also i really didn't think Glover could " par " his way to victory.... but it is starting to look that way.... he is kinda lucky his playing partner Taylor Moore and was in 2nd starting today took a shit... Glover kinda lucky Spieth, Hovland and Rory are erratic today but do have some birdies and were 3-4 shots behind when the day started.... it's gonna be a very interesting ending....
and of course Cantaly and Fleetwood are not out of it by any means...

i mean it is like watching an NFL team go into their " prevent defense " and run the ball up the middle to run out the clock......cause they have a 20 point lead starting the 4th quarter.... just knew the inevitable was coming......
