Missed Play
Day games are the worst. Would have taken Tampa at home to the Tigers to spoil a David Price homecoming. 1-0 Tampa after 1.
Running it Back
Sox lost a coinflip last night 4-3. Trying again today with Buchholz +112
Back In Action
Red Sox +117 tonight
Friday
Single play tonight with a hopefully improved Ricky Nolasco. Royals (Duffy) @ Twins (Nolasco) +132
Thursday
Nothing doing this evening in either MLB or NFL preseason. I may get a play or two down on Premier League which kicks off way too soon on Saturday. Minuscule profit yesterday as the Cubs were 4-2 winners but Texas got smushed 10-1. Miles Mikolas is not an MLB caliber starting pitcher. 36-32 +6.42 for the season.
Wednesday
Another winner yesterday as Jared Cosart had what was probably his best start as a pro and the Cardinals continued to look punchless versus RHPs. With this recent positive variance, we’re actually at a high point for the season which is both good and sad. Anyone who hopped in on or around July 30th would be doing just as well as anyone who started in April. Arbitrary endpoints and all that. KC, NYM and TEX are on the leaner list. Mets will likely be a pass but the others will need a check in 90 minutes or so. One confirmed play:
Brewers (Lohse) @ Cubs (Wada) +112
UPDATE: I don’t want to be checking this later… Tampa (Archer) @ Texas (Mikolas) +127
Tuesday
One definite play tonight:
Cardinals (Wainwright) @ Fish (Cosart) +125
Royals may be a go in a bit but I am going to wait until close to first pitch.
Monday
Zero plays Sunday and none again today despite lots of games looking promising this afternoon. Pirates, Marlins and Rangers are all leans and passes for tonight.
RoarE
Vegas officially has a hard-on for McIlroy. He is an actual juice-riddled coin flip today for the final round of the PGA Championship. This would not be especially noteworthy except for the reality that there are 3 million people within 4 shots of the lead. Mmmmm, 4 shots….This week was a “How do you take Rory” “How do you not take Rory” week which was very Tigeriscent circa 2001. The odds by normal standards are horrifying….we should all be jumping on the No bet…except, “How do you not take Rory?”
Saturday
Not much happening last night or in the day games today. One play tonight: Dodgers (Greinke) @ Brewers (Fiers) +122
