Below I posted a link to a write up I did a few years ago. It explains all of these plays and why I play them. Be happy to discuss or answer any question on these plays. As it is explained in the write up I will be playing the under live after the first inning if I can get 7 or better for 15 units...1 unit is equal to $40 (only using these units for Allstar game stuff).

2017 All Star Game Write Up

 

[BenchCoach]

in the past two all star games...in 2017 the write up was right on que but last year there was what I believe to be an anomaly. Everything was a winner until a blown save in the ninth and then all hell broke lose and some of these wager lost. Blown save in a freaking all star game, can't make this shit up. Most years everyone gets really excited about the over after watching the derby the night before. If you find yourself leaning to the over read the entire link I posted above. Listen to people reactions after the game. After tonight you will see people posting about how bad ass these hitters are and after the game tomorrow you will see that dominate pitching beats any type hitter. It is very difficult to put up crooked numbers against dominate pitching. If you think its going over your going to need multiple crooked numbers to get there. No GAS CANS will show up in the late innings to save the over.

Thx Coach

The question is will Verlander pitch ok? I checked and with the ump I saw 14.1 innings ERA 1.88 so I bet NO and game under. No first half available yet

 

[BenchCoach]

2 Team Parlay...+160 (5*)
412 Joc Pederson (Quarterfinals) -145*vs Alex Bregman (Quarterfinals)
421 Josh Bell (Quarterfinals) -185*vs Ronald Acuña Jr (Quarterfinals) (Fixed Price)

My information was on the screen 2 hours. Its not there now and I just read Wegner is at home. He has been a minor under ump last 2 years With Verlander 26 innings 4.85 ERA. Honestly sickening. I guess it could be worse but not close to what I was seeing at first

Lefty park and wind blowing to right. This is Joc’s to lose IMO.

 

[BenchCoach]

the more I have researched this event the more I like Bell...enjoy the show guys

 

[Timh]

GL Coach -agree on Bell tonight.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say last night has scared me a little about the under tonhght, but still tailing

As long as Cora keeps Alonso’s cousin in the bullpen we have a solid shot at under. That guy threw trash BP, pretty amazing Alonzo still hit like he did

Toward the end of that derby I started having flash backs of Hulk Hogan and Macho Man...it looked like a WWF production from the 80’s at times

Moved to a slightly juiced 9 at my local....hard not to snag a bit more

These games score the first inning about half the time. May be able to get a great line after the first inn. I would take 9 right now. I am still hitting after 1st inn as long as I can get 7 or better

Need me some umpires. Looking to make a lofty play on Over 14.

[tuck321]

I am Certain Verlander does better than last time. 5 runs in the first inning would not be easy to forget

 

[jimbof20]

Kinda like Carlos for MVP on value alone. Would be a good story, hometown guy. He’s batting 4th so maybe in position to have a big day with a couple of swings. +2200 pretty solid

+550 or so?

A play on the conditions? Warm? Juiced balls?

Juiced balls, ridiculous line ups. Unfamiliar catchers for pitchers, league/umpiring influence to add more offense tagging on from the home run derby. 14 runs scored last year, I know has no effect on today's game. Mostly a gut play though.

WWF

Perfect analogy. Really, really super fun to watch. But really, really dumb to wager on because the story has already been scripted and rehearsed. Like in the NBA.

 

[Fondybadger]

Best of luck tonight

Check out the box score from last year. It’s a bit deceiving. 2 run blown save. 6 runs scored from bottom 9 through 10 innings. Game was under till the blown save

Chicken dinner!!!...picked up $1800 give or take last two days

 

[emg2525]

Unbelievable...I had Brantley to win the MVP at 22-1. Buck announced him as the winner and Fox interviewed him. They come back from commercial and are giving it to Bieber. What the hell did I miss? (Other than the $2200 I thought I won for 4 minutes)

Nice work Coach
