Thursday
Baseball is celebrating the end of school and taking a half day today, so there are fewer games to review than usual. Likely no plays per the numbers on any sides today. I’ll be keeping an eye on Texas at the Yankees to see if New York sends out another putrid lineup like they did last week against Matt Moore and Tampa. The line is already around -130 so that’s going to be difficult. Another potential play is in Kansas City where I loved the overnight over 8.5, though my craptastic book has already moved that to 9. Lastly, Arizona and Washington are showing at 6.5 on the total with Corbin and Strasburg going tonight. Strasburg’s lines are usually inflated because while he’s an excellent pitcher, he has trouble going deep into games. Washington has a good bullpen so it’s mitigated somewhat, but 6.5 is tough to bet under.
Confed Cup is the same as yesterday, no value on Spain-Italy but something to keep in mind is how terrible Buffon has looked in goal. Could be a sign for some over plays against different opponents if their defense remains this leaky. This game will tell us about the Italy defense because they are pretty punchless up front without Balotelli.
Updates later if anything pops up.
