6/3
MLB
Arizona +200
Braves +175
Reds +130
Twins -105
I hate to see Price start for the sox. That's the day I pass on the over.
Agree.
I tried a Price/Dickey over last week and lost by 1.
Not doing it again.
I'll wait for the failpitchers.
I will just do one pick today:
Giants (Cueto) -105 at Cardinals (Wainwright)
Cueto has been excellent aside from a bad first week, and seems locked in.
Wainwright keeps claiming that he's doing better, but I'm not seeing it.
His WHIP still sucks, and he has allowed 3 or more ER in 9 of 10 starts. Has never struck more than 5 people out in a game this year. ERA still above 5.

ok cubs crushing, cha ching (sort of, odds so low now). pile on tomorrow! but having trouble on more tonight. Eyeing dodgers, but can they score any runs , even against LOL Braves? Price can handle Dickey I think as well. I sort of like the SF call, Cueto is superior pitcher, but on the road, Ill pass. little $ on Darvish for fun.

FYI from what I have seen (though I've not analyzed the actual stats), the "value" underdogs tend to die off in early June, and don't come back.
This is because the reality about MLB performances start to set in, and sleeper pitchers suddenly get more favored, while disappointing "aces" start to get degraded by the books.
I remember this dating back to the '90s when I bet MLB, when I always seemed to do really well in April and May, mostly by picking off good value underdogs, and then getting clobbered after that, when all my underdogs would tend to lose.
This is why I've been tapering away from the underdogs as this seasons is moving along. I still think there is value in Colorado-based games, whenever there is a steep underdog line, due to the "anything can happen in Coors" factor.
Good hit with the Reds.
I see Dbacks and Twins already lost.
Braves currently up on the Dodgers 2-1. I actually liked that pick but didn't do it because it's the Dodgers and I don't like rooting against them.
Was hard enough to root for the Giants today (which did win for me).
OK all eyes on Cubs and Dodgers. The MLs are being pounded so low I think Ill have to mix ML and RL. Lot of interesting pitching today in general (Wash, WS), especially superior pitchers on the road but many of the teams I have been fading all year like the Reds and Twins are playing better so I think I ill let things settle down.
Dodgers -420
:Lol
I don't recall seeing a line that high in recent memory.

Oh yeah, they are a team with no heart and It seems half of them hate oneanother. I never bet on teams like that, let alone laying -400 or more
Puig on DL, so the one I'll bet they hate the most is gone. I may do RL on this one. Dodgers much better fielding team and relievers are much better. Kershaw keeps the score down, good fielding and relievers to back him up, and rookie hitting three home runs will make the locker room happy, and no Puig! edit: yikes the RL odds suck as well. small bet for fun time.
After tonight the cat will be officially out of the bag about clevelands chances. GSW -6.5 infinite units
