Nice move. I bet the Twins and the over 10* to start, and then live bet when Seattle tied it up in the top of the 6th. I added Minn -1* -142, and over 7 -115.

It was a fun game, and a nice start to the day for a change. Good luck on the rest of your card...

and the bottom 25
1560517241989.png
Isn't it crazy how 3 of the best pitchers in the game (Max, Sale and deGrom) are the absolute worse bets in the league. :holycow:
 
Nice night with model. Value tonight on snakes. There was value early with tribe when line was 130 but that line has really moved

1560540260093.png
 
Points to ponder...

Miami is 29th in OPS vs LHP and at Home, 5 is alot of runs.

LAD is 2nd in OPS vs RHP and at Home. Hendricks is better at Wrigley and during the day. Cubs bullpen isnt the worst but isn't the best. 5 runs seems good at +115

NYY are going against Giolito, he's been the best pitcher on earth (Him or Ryu) over the past month and opposing teams haven't scored 5 in all his starts since April 12th @ Yankee Stadium. NY is good but not at full strength. 5 is alot in my opinion

OAK is 3rd in OPS vs LHP and M.Gonzalez has been ASS lately, add to that their bullpen has been worse lately.

Nats have a horrible bullpen but if it's strictly Scherzer vs Ray I'll take Scherzer. Washington kills lefties 2nd in OBP and 5th in OPS vs LHP and Arizona is 18th in OPS vs RHP, Scherzer isn't your average RHP but...

TB ML is all about Snell in TB. He's been incredible since last year at the Trop and the Angels have played well but I don't see them doing much tonight.

. KC is a bad team and I really can't see them pulling it out.

Houston -1.5 -150
  • Straight forward, better team all around with Cole pitching at home and added a new young bat in Yordan.
  • Aaron Sanchez has a 4.62 road ERA
  • Cole has been in decent form giving up 3ER in his last 13 IP
  • Houston is 6th in OPS vs RHP
  • Houston is 25-10 at home
Twins TT o5.5 -125 10u - lol maybe not but it almost feels like a lock
  • Twinks are the best team in baseball right now and it's Prince night at Target
  • Twinks have hit o5.5 in 7/10 games
  • Twinks first in OPS vs RHP
  • Wind blowing out to right 11mp
 
also the beermakers are hard to ignore at -160
Davies has a 1.88 road ERA
Pomeranz is coming off a decent start, but before that has given up 8,5,2,7 ER in his last 4 and has a 7.16 ERA
SF 28th in OPS vs RHP
MIL 6th in OPS vs LHP
Gints have strong pens and have been winning alot but not likely tonight
 
Houston was playing after a day off 8-0, on Friday 8-2 and after a loss I made a very large bet but only bet half the bet minus 2.5

I did inadvertently bet 2u on CLE, but it was because I didn't see where I bet it early and just bet again. Not actually a 2u play although it helped my bottom line. ;)

1560689958104.png

Just food for thought...
 
just BS'ing
  1. Over 8 PIT/MIA - Archer giving up runs away from home. Pirates also have the bats to get some on Alcantara.
  2. Over 8' MIL/SF - Lol @ Brewers but they alway put runs up, SF gets a few against Anderson and the mid-game relievers before Hader comes out.
  3. Over 9 KC/MIN - Perez hittable, Twins gonna score on Junis without doubt
  4. Over 9' NYY/CHW - both pitchers hittable but this one likely comes down to NY bats. They’ve been good for the over statistically this season.
  5. Over 9' SEA/OAK - M's an over machine this year 51-19 and 20-4 in day games plus 28-9 on road $$$
Danger Games:
  1. Rangers @ Reds - Fishy line for a fishy game. Rangers have the firepower to offset Gray, but Gray has been very good and very consistent. Similarly, Jurado is solid but far more unlikely he gets smashed by Reds. Suggests this fight for the W goes to the bullpens and thats hard to call. Avoid.
  2. Cardinals @ Mets - Vargas been much better recently but so has Hudson (to a lesser degree). The way these teams have split the game, there is no certain outcome here, wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a one-run winner and could be either over or under. Tread lightly.

I know I played both these avoid games, but thats what I do for the most part is just play the numbers/trends.

off day for model yesterday but still up for the year(Since May 1 when I started actually using/monitoring)

1560796659297.png
 
Today’s ramblings.
  1. ATL - Soroka back on the mound, with a poor showing last game against the Pirates. I think he can right the ship here especially against an inconsistent Mets and a Braves offense that seems to go off every game.
  2. CLE/TEX Over 9' - Would love to take Rangers ML but potential for someone to blow it late. Lynn also the type of pitcher to be hit in bunches and Indians have been doing exactly that this season, when their offense does click it’s results in multiple run innings. Also, Clevinger coming back after two months, likely to be rusty, which is not how you wanna be vs explosive Rangers sticks.
  3. SEA - The Royos haven’t won back to back wins since May 1st against Tampa, I’m gonna say no. Even better, that was the Royals at home; can do they win back to back on the road? Doubt it.. There’s a lot to not like about Duffy and his numbers, especially compared against a solid if unremarkable pitcher in Milone. I think M's get the win tonight, with the single concern being the loss of Encarnacion; it didn’t hurt last night and hopefully not tonight.
Value Picks:
  1. Astros - The obvios one! Miley not as bad as he’s being referred to, recenct bias coming into play with HOU losing some close games. HOU is 15-8 after a loss and Reds are 10-20 after a win. Plus I can’t refuse +110 on Astros. I know, it’s Castillo but this problem with Reds always exists; can their bats take advantage of a decent pitcher when the chance arises or will the opposition take advantage of limited chances they find against Castillo? I’ll take my chances with the Astros.
  2. Marlins - Call me crazy. But Hernandez had a decent showing last time out, which was against the Cards, giving up 3 runs in 5.3 innings. Mikolas has been awful and his last game, also vs Marlins, he gave up 5 runs in 5 innings, putting a lot of pressure on SL’s already inconsistent offense. Tomorrow, Yamamoto plays vs Flaherty and I think it’s a great time for Yamamoto to show his inexperience and Cards likely a strong play. At -200, I’m not taking Cards with Mikolas on the mound; Fish have been showing a solid if unremarkable offense recently and I think the combination of Hernandez’s pitching offesting the Cards offense and Mikolas throwing meatballs leads to a Marlins win. Worthy bet at +180 even if MIA has cost me the last 2 days
Risky Games:
  1. PHI/WAS - Arrietta's been below average, Corbin currently struggling. Nats offense great but always a risky bullpen, all signs point to an unpredictable game so I’ll sit this one out.
  2. Red Sox @ Twins - Pretty obvious why you should avoid. Unpredictability all around; if I had to lean, I’d say Twins at home but Sox have shown life as of late.
 
Totals went over 36-17 67.9% over the weekend(Thur-Sun) and totals league wide keep going higher as bookies try to ease their pain with everyone hammering the over's. The average total is highest ever now at 9.2 over last week and 9.1 this month. Last year it was 8.6 for whole year.

Matt Carpenter with a bunt double.
https://streamable.com/ojzzd
My question is why dont more people do this, it may break up these bullshit shifts

Top Ten
1Dodgers
I like Corey Seager. When he plays and is good, I think “yes.” When he is hurt, I think “no.” (If anyone knows the origin of that pasta I would love to see it). All in all a meddling week for the Dodgers, who seriously need to address the bullpen. One Brad Hand, please. 7 home games against El Gigantes and El... uhhh... Rockies this week
2Astros . Highlight of the week has been Air Yordan's inability to do anything other than hit home runs. It was heartwarming to see Lil Biggio make his MMP debut as a member of the Blue Jays. We have the Reds and Yankees this week, which should be some exciting baseball!
3Twins Another week ends with the best record in the majors, but the real high point of this week was Mauer's #7 being retired. Baseball is fun again in Minnesota!
4Yankees Acquiring Encarnacion is an interesting choice, as he bumps Frazier to AAA and shares a clogged DH duty with Voit, and when they come back, Judge and Stanton until they get to full speed. And Morales, when he comes off the IL, too. This is starting to look like the Yankees teams of the 90s/00s, all-bat big hitters, just squint and hope they don't hit it to 1B and LF. I loved those teams.
5Rays This week's edition of The Flappy Times is dedicated to Brandon Lowe and why he should be ALROTY. He OPS'd a cool 1.215 last week to the tune of a 220 wRC+ (.910 & 142 on season). This flappy boi is one to watch if you're not already. Dispite Lowe's efforts (and those of Pham, Dandy Yandy, and the ever-loveable Choi Boi), western teams starting with A proved difficult last week. This week isn't much different with the start of a road trip @ the Janks. I think every living being can agree a sweep would be nice to start this week.
6Cubs The Cubs lost two series in a row on the west coast this week. Hendricks going to the IL is a setback, though it means we might see an Adbert Alzolay debut! Alzolay is one of the few promising prospects left in the Cubs organization. To Kris Bryant's surprise, the Cubs play the White Sox next. After that it's the Mets. It's an easier schedule over the next month or so; they hope to take advantage.
7Braves The Braves offense is on full tilt right now, having scored at least 6 runs in eight straight games, culminating with a 15-1 beatdown of the Phillies to clinch the series victory in Atlanta. Every starting position player for the Braves, including both catchers, have at least a wRC+ of 100. Now, we await the arrival of Dallas Keuchel.
8Red Sox It's nice to sweep the O's after splitting with the Rangers and Rays. It's not nice how badly the Twins are going to slap this team around. Red Sox baseball--destroy bad teams, struggle against any team at or above mediocrity. This team needs consistent play.
9Brewers
Josh Hader is continuing to be a fastball pitcher (90%) and striking out 53.5% of opposing batters while doing so. Christian Yelich has been eating his Wheaties as evidenced by hitting a ball through the fence.
10D-Backs The D-backs had a good week, taking 2 of 3 in Philly before splitting a 4-game series with the Nationals in DC. Starting Archie Bradley weirdly didn't result in much success. Ketel Marte is on fire, and should be an All-Star,
11Phillies This week could have swung in many ways but the team lost back to back series including a crushing division loss to the red hot Braves. This team is going to go as far as their pitching, and right now their bullpen is still banged up, their two front of the rotation arms have not been reliable and they don't have a fifth starter. With the games leading up to the all-star break now only against the division, this team must show whether they’re in “win-now” mode and play up to expectations to justify a trade deadline move.
 
Totals are hard to explain at times. All the overs this year but the yesterday the under cashes 8 of 11

On the year if you take games with totals below 9 and games with 9 or more, you see:

1560861815622.png

The totals of 9 or more go over 58.8% of the time for 12.2% ROI

1560861886610.png
..also of note on these higher totals, the favorite wins 66.3% and ROI is a stout 11.8%

When then the total is less than 9 we see much different results; Games only over 44.4% of the time and the under actually returns 6.7% ROI
1560862081158.png
...not nearly leaning favorite's way when totals are lower either
 
In their last 4 games the Rox have scored 48 runs on 67 hits with batting over .400 :baseballfire:

BS'in
  1. Astros - I burnt money on them yesterday so I am going for another sucker Astros line. Anything under -200 seems like a bargain for Verlander, I’m smashing. JV starts where Astros have gone on to lose; Rangers, Twins, Red Sox, Brewers. Those are prime examples of good offense; Reds are lackluster, barely escaping with the W last night. With Verlander keeping them down to a max of 2 runs, I think Astros should cah(fingers crossed).
  2. Angels - Skaggs can be a really messy pitcher but so can Stroman. Stro got a win last time out correcting his form against a flailing O's team. I think he’s a little too wild for Angels’ bats to not take advantage. Give me this low juice and LA
  3. Rox OV 10 - Senzatela vs Kelly. WHIP 1.62 vs 1.27, ERA 5.48 vs 3.73. Both teams have decent offenses(Rox been enfuego!) and matching up the weaker pitchers against each other suggests lots of scoring. If this was at Coors field, prolly get 12, but at Chase Field, we looking at hot weather that has discounted the line to 10 runs. I think it hits pretty easily, maybe first 7 innings.
  4. Doyers - Kershaw loves a revenge game. He’s also at home. Anderson doesn’t give up a whole lot but I think Dodgers can wear him out and get to the bullpen early.
  5. TB/NYY OV 9.5 - Signs point to plenty of runs scored. Yanks love the over, and with Happ on mound vs Stanek/Beeks and company, I think runs will be scored today.
Danger games
  1. CHW/Cubs - Line too big to back Hamels. White Sox too inconsistent to back them.
  2. TEX/CLE - unsure how the offense reacts to each pitcher, close game that could swing either way...took +money anyhoo :D
