MLB Plays 5/17
Split on picks yesterday. To steal a Louism, a Verlander start may soon make a game virtually “ungamblable.” More times than not he delivers a quality start, but you are getting prices based on amazing starts. He is still fully capable of shutting any team down but he often labors to get into the 7th inning, and who the fuck knows what’s going to happen in a game when the Tigers’ bullpen gets involved. So the temptation may be to just bet against him, but how do you do that confidently with a guy who up until last night had a sub-2.00 era on a team with a very good lineup?
Reds ML +104 @ Phillies @ 24
Dodgers ML +123 @ Braves @ 24
White Sox ML +106 @ Angels @ 24
Can’t help but notice that I have been heavy on road underdogs recently. It has not treated me poorly yet but clearly I have a bias in my thinking right now. Like the Rockies/Giants under later. Hold off for now, may be back for it.
UPDATE : Took the Giants/Rockies Under 9.5 @ -105 @ 24
