Wednesday
I’ve been sick this week and missed a play and a post yesterday. I was monitoring the Twins line and they went on to win easily but I fell asleep in a drug-induced state around 6:00 and woke up well after all of the games for the night had started. I’m posting a play early today to prevent this from happening again, though it’s a road team and as seen those have not been doing too well for me. Regardless, it’s Red Sox (Lackey) +108 @ Tigers (Alvarez). Nothing stood out on totals but I will have one more look.
I know very little about basketball and the NBA, but no one seems to give the Spurs a chance to win outright this evening and I do not understand why this is the case. +230 is a good price in my very amateur opinion.
Lastly, there’s a bridge jumper play available today in Confed Cup with Spain versus Tahiti. Pinnacle doesn’t even have a line, but the spread is -8 and Bookmaker is showing -17000. I don’t think there’s any sketchy match fixing that could prevent a Spain win in this one. Tahiti’s coach is talking about allowing “15 or 20” but Spain is playing their reserves so we’ll see what happens.
Doubling down on the away games today while I wait to get the rest of my bankroll back once this Spain-Tahiti game ends. Tampa (Moore) -102 @ Yankees (Pettitte). The Yankees lineup today is absolute garbage. Matt Moore doesn’t have a large platoon split, but the Yankees are starting six lefthanders and the righties are Chris Stewart, Jayson Nix and Vernon Wells. Tampa has one lefty in James Loney in their lineup and he’s batting 9th. Admittedly, it’s not like the Joe Girardi has a better lineup he can send out there, but versus lefties this is at least Mariners/White Sox level bad.
