MLB Plays 6/14
Running bad at the moment. Give example, had originally picked Mickelson as my US Open winner in my golf league. With about 35 minutes to spare I switched it to Kuchar, who while not a disaster yet, certainly has room for improvement today. All bets @ 24.
Royals ML +145 @ Rays
Blue Jays @ Rangers Under 10 -113
Phillies @ Rockies ML -116
Phillies @ Rockies (-1.5) +173
Yankees @ Angels Over 8 -106
MLB Plays 6/13
Always seems wrong betting an over in pretty much any sport when the weather is bad. It’s raining outside! How the hell is the offense supposed to do anything?!?! They’ll be lucky to stay on their feet! Let alone score a rouge or catch a snitch. UNDER!
Red Sox @ O’s Over 9.5 -110
Giants @ Pirates (+1.5) -159
MLB Plays 6/12
All plays @ 24. Will add to this almost certainly
Brewers @ Marlins Over 7.5 -104
UPDATE
Indians @ Rangers Over 10 -110
Nationals @ Rockies Under 11 -106
The Astros’ offense is outrageous.
Tuesday
One play tonight San Diego (Cashner) +104 hosting the Braves and Hudson.
MLB Plays 6/11
Running late on the day. Will add more/make pretty later if time permits…
Brewers @ Marlins (+1.5) -167 22 Units
Indians @ Rangers Under 9.5 -105 22 Units
Phillies @ Twins Over 8 -103 22 Units
UPDATE
“What a night for Wily Peralta…this is a major step forward for him in his career path.”
Actual quote from the Brewers/Marlins game after Peralta left the game allowing 3 runs through 6 innings to my 2013 baseball gambling fetish. (You can’t spell fetish without fish) There is rooting for the home team, and then there is whatever that is. For better or worse, the late games, all @ 22…
Yanks ML +106 @ A’s
Astros ML +143 @ Mariners
Braves @ Padres (+1.5) -154
MLB Plays 6/10
I just was looking at the Marlins game history. They only won 6 games in May. Yesh.
Brewers @ Marlins (+1.5) -162 18 Units
More to follow…getting back on the train
UPDATE
Also taking Indians (+1.5) -150 @ Rangers 18 Units. Just getting my feet wet again.
Monday
Two more losing plays for us on Sunday, pushing the May record to 3-4. Neither was as bad as the score indicated, but they of course count the same. Three potential plays today, all of which are going to be passes 1-2 hours before game time as I am in no mood for crappy bookmaker lines. All are 7-10 off of Pinnacle. For reference, they are all home teams, both Chicagos and the Marlins. Slightly tempted to take the Royals, but it’s not quite good enough for a play.
I had some notes this morning on today’s totals as well, but seeing as though my numbers site for those is down, that will be a pass today as well. Potential for soccer tomorrow as well as a full slate of MLB again.
Sunday
0-2 yesterday we’ll try and do better today.
Cardinals (Lynn) @ Reds (Arroyo) -103
Braves (Minor) @ Dodgers (MaGill) +150
Saturday
We were close to a perfect Friday as Ireland and Toronto cruised to their wins and San Francisco got a great start from Cain but ultimately lost 3-1. As mentioned yesterday, we are on Chicago today at home to Vancouver and we also beat the public money in as the line is now down to +120 from +145.
One definite play today in Seattle where we are hopping on this before the lineups. I don’t want to issue a Code Green free money alert just yet, but it’s definitely a strong play. Yankees (Pettite) @ Seattle (Saunders) +121. In soccer, Vancouver may be a play in Seattle late as over half of the Sounders lineup is away for internationals.
Lastly, Francisco Liriano (Yes, that one) moved to 4-2 on the season for the Pirates, throwing seven shutout innings at Wrigley yesterday striking out eight. Admittedly, he was facing the Cubs with the wind blowing in, but he has a 1.75 ERA and 47 strikeouts in six starts and 36 innings. I saw someone on MLB network a few weeks ago analyzing Liriano and concluding that what he was doing wouldn’t continue being effective for whatever reason, but he’s obviously been excellent so far.
Updates, if any, later today.
Rainy World Cup Friday
At least on the East Coast. No baseball in Boston, Washington and likely NYC today leaving a lighter than normal schedule and the prospect of double headers and weird pitching matchups tomorrow. Two baseball plays today however:
Texas (Tepesch) @ Toronto (Rogers) -103
San Francisco (Cain) +120 @ Arizona (Corbin)
Props to the Cardinals, winning 12-8 yesterday. Their strength in depth is amazing and they are clearly the best team in baseball at this point. Lynn and Miller are in the same class as Lincecum and Cain were few years ago and they still have Wainwright and a bunch of quality guys just up from the minors even after losing two starters from their rotation.
Today is also a World Cup qualifying day. FIFA moved the dates for these games off of Saturdays & Wednesdays and onto Fridays and Tuesdays as a nod to club teams to give the players a bit more recovery time in between national & club team duty. Why this extends into the summer I have no idea.
One play so far and that’s a mini-bet on Ireland -900 at home to the Faroe Islands. This is the kind of game that is ripe for match-fixing, but Ireland has a good chance to qualify for the playoffs in November. The Faroes are much better at home where they play on a small bumpy field in the middle of the North Atlantic.
One play I’ll post for tomorrow in MLS is Chicago +145 at home to Portland. Chicago isn’t really missing anyone on National Team duty this weekend and they have been much better since getting Magee from LA. We like plus odds for home teams too. Debating Jamaica tonight hosting the Americans and possibly one more MLS play tomorrow.
