The "torpedo" bats are going to be a problem.

Elly De La Cruz tried one, and went 4/5 with a double and 2 HR.

Yeah it’s funny. Who isn’t ordering them at this point overnight shipping? Pitchers will start bitching. The god Pedro will say they can’t hit it out if they don’t hit it and he is the only guy who can make that statement with his 1.8 ERA during the steroid era when second place was just over a 4 ERA. Good for the game as far as casual interest, but not for purists. Pitchers buying steroids right now. It has to be fucking with their heads. When Jazz Chisholm is taking you deep twice in 34 degree weather.

If they hit like 4 off Corbin Burnes tonight it is going to be a bigger story tmrw

SAN’s ballpark pal gave me the easiest win in the afternoon yesterday(tips cap) with the Royals and I gave it all back on my own bad pick and prop.

I hovered over Dodgers -2.5. Like it’s insane to bet a -2.5 for the home team, but atm, it feels insane not to.

The Yankees are throwing some dope against Burnes tonight and the Yankees are a small favorite in a tremendous pitching mismatch, yet I wouldn’t bet against them. Rich get richer


Logan Allen got more run support than any pitcher I’ve ever seen last year. All year long. Might be another over on that game.

Edit- Got o 7.5 for -105. Took my shot. Neither pitcher looks lights out.

"It feels good," he said, via NBC5's Charlie Clifford. "It feels really good."

The torpedo downside could be Stanton using them at the end of last year, and now his elbow is fucked. He is Mr. Glass, but he blamed the bats. Didn't stop rest of yanks from doing it.

We shall see.

[BCR]

Well gut I said the Twins can’t score and they won and my team got 2 runs yesterday and 2 hits today and couldn’t even score one run to win my over.


God bless Mookie Betts Mr Druff

[Dan Druff]

Yet the Dodgers are only 0.5 up despite their first-ever 7-0 start.

I don’t think an 0-6 team ever made the postseason. Sorry, BUBBLES and Sheesfaced.

[Sanlmar]

@BCR

You got RL +155? Wow

Few humans have faded Dustin May more than me. Nevertheless I started buying LAD Monday night RL +130.

The Braves are broken and Sale doesn’t bat though he should.

The line fell all night and again Tues early. I didn’t care about Freeman. However the line action had me losing heart. What was going on? What don’t I know? I had too much invested and stopped following. +155 is a wowy.



I have Yankees vs DBacks -135. Zac Gallen on the road - no thanks. You committed to the RL autobet?

[Sanlmar]

While you’re vacillating on the RL hit Pitt w/ Skenes F5 -130 with me

The Rays have been on my do not touch list for so long. For them, against them, I’m always wrong. I’d jinx your bet. I have a bunch of small afternoon bets. Weird shit. White Sox first 5 parlayed with KC ML for +358. Then As ml. Nothing but the blue chippers. All lunch money.

I’ll 100% be on Yankees -1.5 for +160 atm for a real bet. Haven’t bet it yet. Pondering first 5 RL for +-185. Gallen couldn’t throw strikes at home and killed me last week when I backed him. I want my $ back. I am inclined to think Yankees jump all over him from the jump.

I anxiously await a Merrill HR prop against Lively. Maybe a few others too once I look at history. He’s a give up HRs machine.

He’s plus EV on BPP. Greatly reduced +400. Sad. I’m in vs Lively.

Matt McClain Reds is a new binky too.

I did Ohtani HR +265

Gallen’s career number versus Yankee hitters is a little crazy. I’ll still be on the Yankees because I don’t think he’s that guy anymore, but shocked at how good he’s been against them.

[BUBBLES]

The Braves suck

[gut]

welp and just like that @BCR, we're tied for...first?....place.

Meanwhile this race to 10. Dodgers still ahead, but the fucking Friars giving me concern. Giants also performing better than that +5500, bout as well as I would have expected.

[Dan Druff]

Has to be the first time in baseball history (and probably the only time for awhile after this) that a 7-0 MLB team isn't in first place.

Also must be the first time we've seen a 5-way tie for first place at a 2-4 record.

At least as far as our teams go, we can fall back on we haven’t played a home game.

I like it because half our early games were snowed or rained out, but we are going to be on game 10 before a home game and you are just going home now. Padres was a tough draw for us with the worst of our staff due up in rotation and they’re just better. It’s amazing how the Padres spent all that money and Merrill is the one who took them from pretenders to contenders. Kid is Stan Musial.

At least we now get the Angels who we have traditionally beat the shit out of and with our better pitchers. I’d be thrilled to get home one game under .500.

That the two undefeated teams haven’t played a road game isn’t a quirk. And Japan is more of a home game than LA. I love betting the Dodgers, but let’s see how they do in Philly when it’s cloudy and 50.
