Tuesday

There is such a thing as being too nitty with the lines and I hit that on Monday. Both the Rockies (@ Cubs) and Rangers (@ Athletics) have been hitting poorly and sent out sub-optimal lineups on Monday versus two solid starting pitchers. I thought both home teams would win, and they both did easily, but I passed because the lines weren’t quite what I was looking for.

OTOH, I took the Dodgers last night because the numbers lined up, but there wasn’t really anything that was super strong, just a lot of small things pointed to the Dodgers side. It was probably still worth a play, but at least one of the Cubs and A’s should have made the cut as well. This is exactly why I am blogging and testing here as my system clearly needs improvement before upping any dollar amounts into ‘significant’ territory.

Semi-related, I have an open item to update the sidebar with actual useful links to sites I am using instead of sites we used to pull a lot from 3-4 years ago. Should be done soon enough.

Cubs, Yankees, Angels, A’s and Jays are the leans today. Another happy gambling day with no day games to ruin the fun. I think as Toronto and Anaheim get healthy, they are going to make for some profitable plays before the season is out.

Two plays tonight:

Reds (Bailey) @ Fish (Nolasco) +150
Rangers (Holland) @ Athletics (Colon) Even
