Top ten +1
1-Dodgers
ever just have a literal majority of your rotation make the all-star team? Anyway, this was a more experimental week for the Dodgers. With a good number of people on the IL, and a lot of young kids up, the Dodgers spent a big chunk of this week with wacky lineups and weird positioning. As a result, the record this week took a dip. Still, after one of their worst weeks in a while, they still hold a 12 game lead on the division. 57-29
2-Yankees
What's better than winning the last 13 of 14? Sweeping the Red Sox in London. The Yanks will round off their road trip with a 2 game Subway Series and a 4 game series against the Rays to bookend the All-Star Break. Stanton is down again and Encarnacion hasn't hit yet, but Judge is slashing .333/.467/.583 since he's gotten back and the team feels unstoppable right now. 54-28
3-Twins
Starting to get some injured guys back off the IL, which helps a lot. Also only sending 2 guys to the All-Star game, which is not awesome. 53-30
4-Astros
Zzzzz... 53-32
5-Rays
Brendan McKay's debut. The lefty two-way prospect pitched 5 1/3 innings of perfect ball to start his career and got a much needed fat W. Then Snellzilla came out the next day and threw 12 K's in 6, looking dominant the whole time to seal TB first series win in what seemed like forever. This team will go as far as the bats take it and will look to carry the momentum against the O's. The Trop is lowkey lit. 49-36
6-Braves
Congrats to first-time All-Stars Mike Soroka and Ronald Acuña Jr., as well as Ronald's entry into the Home Run Derby! The last week largely showed us things we already knew. The rotation likely needs a shot in the arm, and the bullpen could really use another shutdown option, despite the incredible numbers from the past month — particularly with surprise setup ace Anthony Swarzak hitting the IL. The Bumgarner/Will Smith fit feels more likely by the day. 50-35
7-Cubs
The Cubs took a slight dip this week, and the entire NL Central seems to be converging to .500. The Cubs and Brewers are currently tied for the division, though the Cubs have a +64 run differential compared to the Brewers' -4. The division continues to be a grind, and I wouldn't be surprised to see the division winner finish with around 88 or 89 wins this season. 45-39
8-Red Sox
Bogaerts, Devers, and Vazquez are all having strong years. David Price is looking like the pitcher they paid for. This team is far too inconsistent and mediocre. I've seen this team suck, and I have seen this team choke, and I have seen this team win, and to watch this team amble through a season listlessly takes the cake as the most frustrating. 44-40
9-Atléticos
Had a great 5-1 record this week, as Mengden/Anderson turned in great outings and Chapman was the first to hit 20 HR's. Maybe we get hot after the all star break (as A's teams in the past do), but that would mean Barreto and Mateo boosting the up-and-down outfielders already on the team as the infield is 3/4 solid. I do not think it is a hot take to claim, as M. Lockart tweeted the other day, if Olson wasn't injured in Japan he'd be leading the league in HR's 46-39
10-Brewers
Hopefully the call up of Keston Hiura and Tyler Saladino will spark the team, because they cannot be worse than Travis Shaw and Hernan Perez were. I do not recall feeling less confident about a team with 4 all stars and a 10 win pitcher at the halfway point. 45-39
11-Rangers
8 games over .500 to end the first half of the season is not where I thought the Rangers would be but it's been a fun ride. Hunter Freaking Pence is an All Star starteR and Joey Gallo and Mike Minor will be joining him in Cleveland! Hopefully the good mometum started in the first half can push the team into a solid start of the second half because they are going to need it. 5 of the next 7 series for the Rangers are against teams that are at or above .500. 46-38

Any thoughts into the travel back and hangover from the time change?
 
Any thoughts into the travel back and hangover from the time change?

obviously there is no history of this since its first ever game in Eng but I think you'll see both teams dragging a bit, but since both have stud starter vs mediocre opponents I just can't fade either today

Nats park is huge hitters park above avg in everything except triples...that with good hot weather, below average starters and MIA actually hitting much better L10(15 points higher & 1.5 rpg more)should lead to over cashing easily

1562251138113.png
 
I really hope you are right about Texas but not sure you are Canning 1.80 vs Texas and
TEXAS is 1-11 (-10.7 Units) against the money line in home games in July games over the last 2 seasons.
 
I do agree on Nats over, but liked the side better and didn't want to play non-correlated. Carlson is a nice over ump for sure and ball is flying. GL MRP.

  • 967 New York Yankees -113
  • 973 Oakland Athletics -136
  • 976 Washington Nationals -1½ +105
Twinks and Halos look very good to me, but no line yet posted at 5D​

 
I've still been betting all overs of 9 or more and doing quite well.

Here's the past week and Wednesday was the worse day of the year and I still turned profit for the week.

1562329459047.png

I do avoid the overs on Friday as that's the one day of the week the overs >= 9 have not been profitable.

All below are only considering totals >= 9

Here is the record for Fridays -- 48.8% over and -5.6% ROI

1562328323916.png

Here are all days except Friday -- 58.9% over for 12.3% ROI

1562328251049.png

I have further deduced that favs over 140 do even better -- 63.7% over for 20.7% ROI (omitting Fridays)

1562328423004.png

Now if you take just favs of 175-225 the overs cash 70% for +31.9% ROI including Friday(8-3-1) KillerSports.com

1562328615616.png

My theory is that line range shows a large difference in team strength and they tend to pile on, where if they are huge favs of over 225 they may tend to coast a little. Of course for lines under 175 the teams are much more even and the coaches may play a little more tentatively. Just my opinion and this could turn around and go the other way, I just don't think it will until the bookmakers adjust these total up another .5-1 RPG.

 
of note, the book is slowly moving the totals higher even this season as every month the avg total has risen

BUYERS BEWARE!!!

Yanks starting Tanaka for game 2 game of their series in Tampa. Tanaka is 5-5 with a 3.74 ERA but has been exceptional in 3 game vs Rays allowing just 10 hits and one run in 22 inn.

Rays go with one of their top prospects in southpaw Brendan McKay who made his career debut last week with a one-hitter over six innings against TEX. While this Yankees avg 6.35 RPG on the road, they struggle against lefties hitting just .237 while slugging just .396.

Overs are 37-13-2 in Yanks last 52 on the road and the total seems low at 8.5 tonight, it could be a bit of a trap play.

also of note: Verlander is one of the best pitchers in the game but when hitters make contact off him they often go the distance. Verlander has allowed just 69 hits through 119 2-3 innings this year, but 23 are long balls. Over his last four starts he's given up 9 homers and 14 runs in 26 innings. Tonight, the Astros host the Los Angeles Angels and are -200 favorites. JV last pitched against LA on May 5 and gave up 3 dongs. Angels stud Mike Trout (25 homers in 84 games) is +200 to hit a home run while Shohei Ohtani (12 homers in 50 contests) is +275 and both may be worth a small play.
