Today is 4-17-18 Plays in MLB


Last night we dropped two units on The awful White Sox so lets just jump back in today and see if we can get back on track.

My first Totals wager for the year comes in Milwaukee where the Awful Reds face off against the Banged up Brewers . This line has been screwy since the opening bell Where you could get over 8.5 Juiced at -125 even -130 at some shops. Now all of a sudden its taken major swings back at 9 from -115 to -105 . I am locking in at this price / Over 9 runs at -105 . These two teams have put up a lot of runs in the past year against each other I see no reason this game will be any different .



Game 2 for me tonight will be Philadelphia at Atlanta : The young Phillies vs the young Braves. The Braves have won all 4 meetings this year so far but tonight the Phillies have what has been there best pitcher this year so far . Nick Pivetta takes the dirt pile and the Phils are in need of a win in many ways in this spot tonight. While most of the Phillies wins have come against inferior teams they need to prove that they can hang with teams that are as good or better then they are. Phillies bats got silenced last night for the most part and I do not see that trend here tonight . Take the Phillies at -105 and plummeting .


Game 3 will be a Longshot special but we talked Friday about streaks and here is a qualifier . Ill be riding the Seattle Mariners tonight at a Healthy +155. Why do you ask ? Astros are off to a slow start . Astros Ace got beat last night in Seattle. Astros are on a 3 game losing streak which 2 of those losses came to Horrible Texas. Now they find themselves in the Pacific Northwest against a decent Seattle team . Public is going to say no way Astros lose 4 in a row . But this is Baseball and I say at +155 I'm riding a hot Mariners Team at Home.

Phillies -105 for 1 unit

Reds/ Brewers Over 9 runs 1 unit

Mariners +155 for 1 unit


Ytd MLB Sides 5-1 = +3.33 Units

Good Luck

I'm trying to picture a scenario where Barkley doesn't get taken #4 by the Browns. It's a near lock that 1-2-3 is QB-QB-QB

Barkley under 4.5 -150

Chubb over 4.5 -135

[Dan Druff]

Gonna skip the NBA today. Damn 4th quarter obliterated yesterday's Golden State under for me.

Also had a lousy day in baseball yesterday, losing the pick I tailed of Gookie's (of course I followed his only loss so far), as well as went 0-1-1 in my own picks.

Regarding MLB, I am looking at some later games right now. As far as the earlier ones, I have nothing.

[simpdog]

Royals/Jays over 9 second half of double header +100

Biagini is dog shit.

[Sanlmar]

Sir Gookenheim,


A vs A

Angels (13-3) Ohtani vs Red Sox (13-2) Price

Combined 26-5 is as AA as it gets

Yeah, you related your A, B, C, D life philosophy. Let’s talk value

This will be amongst the most bet MLB games this year. We know Ohtani has captured the public’s imagination. Mine too!

Thus, Angels -160 Sawks +150

This is a pickem matchup with enormous public money. The expression used to describe such games in the Stupity Wagering thread is, Public As Fuck.

Two of the highest scoring offenses. Two pitchers who are dealing. Price was filthy his first 2 games. Was a knucklehead in 38 degree weather. I poke fun at the soft southern black child but we throw that last start out.

All day you take Sawks in this spot. This line is there to attract action on the unloveable Sawks.

I want Ohtani to pitch a perfect game and Price to finally tear a UCL but I have to click on the Sawks box.

Love your work and everyone has their niche that they’re comfortable with but I thought this was a dramatic example of A vs A.

[Dan Druff]

Today's under

San Francisco (Cueto) at Arizona (Corbin) under 8 -115

Both pitchers have looked excellent so far, though Cueto has a sore ankle, so beware of that.

Still believe this is going under.

Evaluating the Angels game. May go along with Sanlmar on that one.

[Dan Druff]

When Angels-lover and Sawks-hater Sanlmar picks the Red Sox over the Angels, you listen.

Especially when it's against Ohtani, with whom he clearly has a man crush.

Betts is playing tonight. That was questionable until very recently.

Price had that weird hand numbness which caused him to give up 4 runs in 1 inning and then miss a start, but he's back. That's the one red flag.

The one bright side is that Price suffered the same in a previous year, and he recovered quickly without issue.

So yeah, I'll take the +151.

Boston +151 (Price) at Angels (Ohtani)


FYI the public is with the Angels on this one, and Vegas books are also of the opinion that the Angels will win, judging from line movement patterns. So that last part is kind of a red flag, but it's not a Trapper John situation, since this isn't the public side, nor was the opening line made to appeal to our side.

I have inside sources at the Red Sox that tell me the real cause behind David Price having numbness in his throwing hand is a torn Labia. Guy is a giant fucking pussy in cold weather.

I said I'd sit this one out so that's what I'm going to do but I'm very interested in this game. I think we learn a lot tonight.

[Daly]

As much as the Halos must love a Tuesday night shut out of this kid comes out in 7 days and pitches anything close to tonight again they should send him to AAA.


Yeah I'm Biased

[ErickAA]

I wanted to check out Ohtani, but I had to work late and by the time I got home he had already been yanked. I saw he pitched 2 inning and gave up 3 ER. Wonder why he was pulled so quick. 3 runs against such a potent offense isn't all that horrible a start, and seems like he could have been given a chance to settle down.

It wasn't pretty. 66 pitches through 2. He went 6-9pitches vs everyone he didn't give up a hit too. He threw about 40 fastballs and if the 40 only 25 of them looked like a major league pitch, the other 15 the bat never came off the shoulder. The other 26 non fastball pitches were the issue. I'm not sure he threw one for a strike. He looked like a high school kid.


Edit: reports hitting the broadcast they pulled him because of blisters.

[rollinx420]

who the fuck is this guy the mariners brought in to pitch? throws 5 straight balls and then gives up a 2 run jack, guy is gonna singlehandedly destroy my 6 team parlay to win 5 stacks



Gookie please tell me we have a comeback in store here!!!!!

[Dan Druff]

Good pick, Sanlmar. Glad I went along with it.

Pat on the back to myself, also, for that SF under which ended up a 1-0 win and almost a no-hitter for Corbin.

LOL Giants offense

Looks like this day is going to erase yesterday's fiasco.

Always a chance in Baseball. Mc Cullers is lights out though for Astros right now. Have to hope next guy out from pen can hold to keep it within reach.

Super Pick San : I wasn't in on it but you scoped that one out for a few days. Druff nice under with the D-Backs.

Looking like I may lose a unit for the day .

[Gookieheimowitz]

you going to need two shots at a closer . I am rooting for you . Seen crazier things happen.


Side Note: Gookie does not approve Parlays.

[rollinx420]

lol if all the rest are winners except your pick, how can u not approve?

[Gookieheimowitz]

My pick is not the reason you are going to lose money . 5-1 if Mariners lose . Id say that's a great day . Just saying. I truly am rooting for you but Parlays are for suckers . Could have been any one of the 6 games that lost . If you bet them all straight or at worst groups of two which I still wouldn't do.
