MLB Tuesday June 4th
Back in degen land today where Sean has been doing an exceptional job of keeping this place running while baseball has been empty and sad the last few days. No plays either Sunday or yesterday, hence the radio silence. Sean’s now 1-1 in NBA on the year with the big win last night. :)
Today in MLB has a full slate of games with 13 of the 15 being home favorites. We are taking the only non-Astros of the home underdog bunch and playing Milwaukee (Lohse) -105 at home to Oakland (Griffin). This price started at +104 so we’re counting it there. Yes I’m cheating. A little.
One total tonight as well and it’s Toronto @ San Francisco U7.5.
Our MLB note today comes from Baltimore where Nate McClouth has not only fixed whatever was broken with himself a couple of seasons ago, but has developed into a base stealer extraordinaire. He’s second in the AL in stolen bases with 19 behind only Jacoby Ellsbury and has been caught only once, a rate that even Carlos Beltran would be proud of. Baltimore as a team is running a lot more this season and is 3rd in MLB in both steals and percentage. It makes me wonder if steals need to be projected on a team level first and at an individual level second.
Monthly NL Superdork update coming tomorrow.
