Thursday
Don’t worry, World Cup is back tomorrow. It will be a few more weeks until baseball is the only sport in action. Single play on a slow day around MLB, Yankees (Tanaka) @ Twins (Hughes) +128
Wednesday
Out total was a big giant loser yesterday as James Shields was not good. Nothing doing tonight.
Monday
A quiet weekend and likely a quiet evening again on a semi-busy Monday. While I would prefer getting more plays in, it’s better to pass than to lose. San Diego and Minnesota are the leaners tonight with nothing doing for the 7PM games. USA price is looking pretty tempting for tomorrow.
Saturday
Apologies for the lack of posts the past few days. Real life intruding again. No baseball plays for Thursday or Friday. 22-17 +6.41 as we approach July which is pretty acceptable. For World Cup, I am very tempted to go all underdog this weekend and take Chile, Uruguay, Mexico and Greece but I still do not have the public data & line movement info for soccer that I need to be at all confident getting a solid play in. I did hit on both England and France in the group stage, failing to advance and winning respectively, so I am 2-0 +2.41 there.
Baseball updates today, if any, to be posted here.
UPDATE: Braves (Halle) @ Phillies (O’Sullivan) +110
Wednesday
It is my hope that this World Cup educates Americans as to why draws (aka ties) are a suitable result for a low scoring game. The US draw against Portugal was gut-wrenchingly awful, yet the same result against Germany would be a definite success. Smart money is staying away from the early games tomorrow. I am 2-0 this World Cup with Argentina still alive. No baseball today as the line move on the Cubs did not go our way.
Tuesday
Just brilliant with the biting winner and Colombia/Uruguay should be an excellent matchup. Easy winner in baseball last night. Long may it continue. Oakland (Kazmir) @ Mets (Colon) +117
1-0 for the World Cup as England did not advance. Kudos to anyone who had Costa Rica winning the group.
Monday
No plays over a quiet weekend. Should be some more World Cup from me once the second round gets underway. One baseball play tonight Dodgers (Greinke) @ Royals (Guthrie) -101
Friday
Arizona lost yesterday 4-1. No plays today. San Diego is a leaner but with their perpetual total of 6.5 they are a pass. No totals sadly.
