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
Pre-season Betting
I’m going to run out the 2’s and 3’s out there for the entire game tonight like the Pats did yesterday (today is my mom’s birthday, and when I saw her the first thing she said about the game was, “Who is that QB? Mallett? They said he was good? He played like shit”).
Plan to make small plays with Carolina Pick at home vs Buffalo, and put the Panthers in a teaser with Lou’s over suggestion, JAX v TB at 35.5. I also like Mike Leake at home tonight (3-0, 1.93 era at home) vs the Marlins at -132.
And now here’s a girl from the LFL drinking a beer after scoring a TD:

Friday
The Yankees did in fact win yesterday 1-0, only they beat the Tigers and not me. Who knew my predictive powers were so amazing? Not much doing today, with the Cubs, Royals and Blue Jays all leaners but none coming close to being an actual play. I am going to gambool some more on preseason NFL totals and take the Jacksonville/Tampa Over of 35.5. More tomorrow.
Yankees 1, Lou 0
Yankees were actually a 5-1 winner last night over Detroit and I am 0-2 this week using things like knowledge and logic to try and sort out plays instead of regular numbers. Back to the usual method for today’s day game:
Detroit (Porcello) @ Yankees (Greene) -110
Likely no more plays today but I will have one more look this afternoon. Red Sox are an okay option for road game sadists at Cardinals and Wainwright.
Wednesday
Two losers yesterday as the movable object that is the Reds offense smushed the resistable force that is Josh Tomlin’s pitching. Only one option tonight and it’s the Yankees again, and while I got in trouble defying my system last night with the Reds, I’m going to risk doing so again tonight and pass on New York who is starting Chris Capuano. I just can’t pull the trigger on this one and will live with the consequences. It’s a leaner and not a play. Good luck to everyone
Tuesday
5 wins in a row after the Yankees held on for a 2-1 win last night. Taking New York again tonight with Kuroda versus Price at +107. One additional play is on Cleveland at home to the Reds, Cueto v. Tomlin there. This would normally be a leaner with the interleague matchup and low total, but the Reds lineup stinks. -112 on Cleveland.
Monday
We had another winner on Saturday despite my not knowing what day it was. No plays on Sunday except for a preseason NFL total I failed to post which was NYG/Buffalo OVER 33.5. The line closed at 36 but the teams only scored 30 :(
One play tonight: Tigers (Scherzer) @ Yankees (McCarthy) +105
Friday
Toronto (Dickey) @ Houston (Oberholtzer) +117
Friday
No play last night on the Marlins due to the low total. I suspect but can’t prove that taking the Under for these low scoring pitching affairs is ultimately profitable in general, and the same with the Over 10s and above. One play tonight:
Toronto (Happ) @ Houston (McHugh) -107
