Wednesday
One winner yesterday as Mark Buehrle was vintage in Toronto’s 5-0 win at Oakland. Unfortunately, the Baltimore over was a loser and I’ll need some good fortune to win the month as I was passed by two of the three players I was tied with. I need a win tonight and losses or ties by two leaders. My play is Yankees @ Dodgers Over 5.5.
I’m traveling again tonight and there are a lot of plays in the potential column, but nothing clear-cut and will require another look closer to gametime. I’ll post back later this evening if possible; if not, July will end 17-12 +5.61.
UPDATE: Screwed by Bookmaker again as they moved the Pittsburgh/St. Louis line as I was betting it down from U7 -120 to 6.5. That’s a pass. The Cardinals need to get sorted as they’ve hit a wall of late. I don’t think the Pirates completed a trade of any kind so they’ll be riding their shit offense the rest of the way. An Alex Rios or someone of the sort would have helped their offense immensely. Also, while it’s well out of scope of what we normally bet here, and successful baseball betting in general, Tampa should be considered for a play tonight at -180 at home to Arizona based on the lineups. I’ll likely throw a microbet on it and flag it for some backtesting in the offseason. Alas…
Cardinals (Wainwright) @ Pirates (Locke) EVEN
Mets (Mejia) @ Marlins (Alvarez) -120
No totals today because of the line move. :(
