MLB Plays 5/15

Epic soccer post by Louis yesterday.

Rangers ML -102 @ A’s @ 24

Brewers ML +113 @ Pirates @ 24

Red Sox ML +114 @ Rays @ 24

Mariners ML +111 @ Yankees @ 24

Nationals ML +129 @ Dodgers @ 24

Oh butters.  What have I done.  Anyone else catch a theme?  Why not throw some propane on to the fire?

Away Runs +4.5 -109 @ Home Runs @ 36

I could see Louis or Sean probably betting a sizable amount on the home team side to hedge.  To each their own.

MLB 5/9

I do not like what I am doing, but whatever…

Oakland A’s ML -123 @ Cleveland @ 24

NY Yankees ML -125 @ Colorado @ 24

These lines are not my style.  But I am hammered at 10:47 in the morning listing to 2-Pac with Ed so I just do not care.  Peeeeeace

MLB 5/8

Back in the saddle again.  When last we left this site I was enjoying a nice run.  We will get an early indicator if we are still running good as I already missed a bet this afternoon, liking the M’s against the Pirates.  When you are running good the bets you miss, miss.  When you are running bad the bets you miss cover within the first 15 seconds of game action.

Twins @ Red Sox Under 9 @ +108 @ 24

Angels @ Astros ML +126 @ 24

Yankees ML +121 @ Rockies @ 24

It is a telling indicator how little I think of Joe Blanton at the moment considering I am taking Houston in this spot.  Bourjos is injured.  Slowly coming around to Juan Nicasio, taking the Yankees here, but if Nicasio puts up something like 7 1/3 2 ERs I can’t see myself going against him in the immediate future.  Very telling game in other words.  At this moment Pirates have taken 1-0 lead on Felix, may still be running hot after all…

MLB 5/2

HO!  I just went from lukewarm to hot.  Over the last few days we have gone from being down 100 Units as of 4/1 to up 100 Units.  The only game I like with any measure of confidence at the moment is

O’s ML +106 @ Angels @ 24

I think we like the Over in the Royals game but I am going to hold off until I see a lineup.  Update to follow either way.

UPDATE

Rays @ Royals Over 7.5 -102 @ 24

MLB Play 5/1

Kudos to Louis for nailing his expected outcome in the Real Madrid 2nd leg.  Still going pretty good at the moment on baseball picks.  Several plays I like today after not really liking anything yesterday.  See how these go.

Rays @ KC Royals ML +100 @ 24

Padres @ Chi Cubs ML +107 @ 24

Angels @ A’s Under 8.5 -113 @ 18

SF Giants ML +107 @ Arizona @ 24

Chi White Sox ML +104 @ Texas @ 24

MLB 4/30

On a decent roll at the moment.  Let’s try to keep it going.

Nationals @ Braves Over 7 -114 @ 24

Like Louis I also like the Marlins to beat the Mets, but such a wager would be OB for me.  More to follow.

UPDATE

Fully expected to make more bets tonight but didn’t like a damn thing.  Clinched a push in the Nats/Braves over with a Tim Hudson HR off Bryce Harper’s glove in right field and then reached full on cover territory later that same inning.  In Padres/Cubs action tonight we were reminded of one of the immortal gambling axioms.  Always check the wind at Wrigley for O/U.  This is gambling 101.  Ignore it at your own peril.

MLB 4/29

Niese pitched OK yesterday but the Mets could not do anything offensively.  Better luck today…
O’s @ Mariners ML +103 @ 24

SF Giants ML +101 @ Arizona @ 24

Joe Saunders isn’t all that terrible, is he?  Matt Cain has to turn things around at some point, doesn’t he?

MLB 4/28

All bets hit yesterday so we are up 75 on the week, down 25 since 4/1.  Only thing I like at the moment…

Phillies @ NY Mets ML +108 @ 27.

I am tempted to go with the reverse run line business.  If you read btw the Vegas lines they have this game going something like 4-3 Philly, where I have it 5-3 NY.  Carlos Ruiz back in the lineup.

MLB 4/27

There are probably 2 or 3 people out there who have been able to make a half-way decent living over the years betting against Barry Zito.  I want to be one of them.  This combined with my unfounded belief in the 2013 Padres and you have

Giants @ Padres ML +110 @ 26

In addition to this I will take Reds @ Nationals ML -101 @ 23.  In both of these games Vegas has the away team as the slightest of faves so let’s root, root, root.

Brewers are swinging the bats fairly well the last week or 2, we will also take Brewers @ Dodgers Over 8 -101 @ 24
