As I'm reading your post, Vargas struck out Springer to open the gameMy one concern here is that Vargas went 9 innings on June 2.Baseball betting is all about finding profitable spots. Even bad teams win 40-45% of the time. I think I see a profitable spot tonight.
What if I told you a pitcher was 7-3 with a 2.08 ERA, 2nd in MLB (better than Kershaw or Scherzer. Better than Strasburg or Sale) This guy is at home tonight where his ERA is even better, 1.59. The team he is facing tonight he faced once earlier this year on the road, pitching 6 innings of 1 run ball, 6 Ks. Last Friday the guy pitched a complete game shutout at home. Seems like a great spot if the line is right. Well the ML on this guys team is +150! How is that possible you ask? Well he is 2nd in MLB in ERA but is facing the #1 guy. I still like the +150 value though. At home, and like I said earlier bad teams win a ton in MLB. +150 is too juicy.
Im riding Jason Vargas vs Houston tonight at home, +150. It may not win, it might. Nonetheless I feel like this is a great value underdog play. Also Kuechel is a little worse on the road, with a 2.20 road ERA vs 1.04 ERA at home. KC also has some momentum with a come from behind win yesterday and a walk off HR. Houston was on an 11 game win streak that ended last night. They might be in let down mode too, maybe finally resting players who havent had anytime off during the streak.
That was for you Sanlmar. I know you like details instead of just bets with no explanation.
In before game wins and Druff is too late to bet it
In 1985, I would have LOL'd at that concern, but nowadays pitchers don't do that often. He's also lost his ability to strike a lot of people out -- only 31 over his past 8 starts combined.
I agree this is tempting, but Keuchel has just looked so dominant, and that Houston offense...
I think I have to pass.
Just sayin
***Edit- and Ks Correa to end 1st
