Steele k prop anything 6.5 or less. Love that kid. Only problem b2b starts but don’t think it matters. I’ll prob play cubs Ff also, as talked about last week milw only path to offense is running into mistakes and steele has only allowed 7 hr’s in 23 starts now I think. Milw Ff tt under 1.5 also worth a look.


I have to look closer but rangers -160? Seriously? Dunno how the fuck ya can convince me they have a 61% chance to win a game??

Bubic was awful last time out but I expect he pitches well vs the pads who a total mess. I dunno how or why these guys have fell on their faces, I was hoping they challenge lad, but I’m fine with profiting off their demise. Have ti look at Bubic k’s (assuming we talking 3.5), Ff under, or just playing kc to beat these losers.


I’m def gonna be interested in balty w bradish pitching if I can get nice plus money (somewhere up over +150 i would think, prob +175ish).

I don’t think cards gonna hit strider, their only chance gonna be to run his pitch count up and get him out the game sooner than later,, I have to look into Quintana vs Braves, not sure what to expect off top my head.

Sears has been pretty solid. Let them give me +300 or something stupid on A’s, I would for sure be interested in take some runs at plus money!!

My guy gilbert has really fallen off. Gotta lean tribe with Biebs.
 
So I just couldn’t nail down a stat line for Quintana I felt good about tonight, I do feel pretty good saying cards not hitting Strider if he on so I played cards Ff tt under 1.5.

No clue why the Steele k prop opened +120 and been bet the opposite I woulda thought? Dunno if I’m missing something or it just the fact he facing brewers in b2b starts? ya’ll know I don’t like that but +140 to fan 7 was just too good a price for me to pass up as I made his ov 6.5 -155ish!! I just don’t think it likely he gets run from this game early cause he a very tough matchup for the milw offense, assuming he goes 6 innings I feel pretty damn good he fans at least 7! Honestly think he could have 10!! I’m also on the cubs Ff +120, I woulda never believed this coming into the year but I honestly think we getting the better pitcher w steele ov Peralta who I always been a big fan of! I like steele that much tho and Freddy P has just been ok since coming off the IL.

They put Bubic right where I suspected but I woulda thought he would have carried some juice for over 3.5, flat 4 -120 where I had him, yet opened 3.5 -110 and now can get -105 on over?!! Usually these things move the direction I have them, not always but certainly way more than not. Maybe his previous start where he made me look pretty dumb not fanning anyone before being run in the 3rd has ppl facing him? My only real concern would be was that result cause he hurting and not telling anyone? If that the case this could obviously look bad again, but If it was just him having a bad day I see no reason why he doesn’t fan at least 4 against this pads lineup that been a total freaking disaster for whatever reason? I thought bout playin royals but I don’t trust them to score much of anything off musgrove either. It prob be a good game to play it in true @Wiretowire fashion and take +2.5 around the same price it would be to play pads ml!!! (Damn sure won’t catch me laying -170 on pads with way they nose diving!!).

McCullers been solid since coming off IL but for a guy with a freaking 6.25 era I actually like Bradish, imo there is real potential with him. His xfip is a much more solid 3.91, not amazing but way better than that redic high era. He young enough he could turn out to be a solid pitcher, good enough for me to take the +160 on the scrappy O’s who have only lost 2 series since the Asb!! Looks like someone just hit Stros up even higher. If we can get +1.5 close to even money I would love that also!!


Think that’s everything I played. I was close with the Ff un3.5 in Seattle but Gilbert has really been disappointing to me in the 2nd half the season, dunno if he wearing down (pretty sure he has already eclipsed most innings he has thrown any season as a pro), or what but he went from one my favorite pitchers I cashed a ton of k props w to a real hamburger! If I decide to go back to casino for preseason games (havnt looked yet) I might add guardians Ff -.5 as I think +110 for Biebs to out pitch gilbert thru 5 is a pretty good play.
 
DK has Steele 6.5, but it’s +145. I’m sure this is a sucker bet aimed at me, but can get Bryse Wilson o2.5 and Johnny Cueto o3.5.

I know, I took him +140, Figured if I waited it looks like it gonna end up going down to 5.5 at some point, I was just as happy taking the plus on 6.5 tho, I have no clue why under being hit? Unless someone knows something like he ate bad shellfish or was up all night partying with a hooker I don’t get it? I don’t think it outrageous at all to say he fans 7+ 60% of the time in this matchup! Like I said the b2b starts vs same team annoys me but don’t think it a huge concern here as he matches up really favorably vs milw lineup!!

I looked at Wilson cause 2.5 does seem like cake but at -175 didn’t think there was really much of a edge. He has fanned 3+ in 9 of 14 starts which is 63-64%, -175 isn’t far off that, if you take out 4 starts vs reds and milw he only 5-5 to over 2.5, his swinging strike rate really low, i fear there a chance he could get run early, Certainly should cash but think prob hits right around the rate the odds imply. I didn’t dig into cueto cause I have not been very good pinning down his k number all season, I find him way easier to predict total outs than his k’s.
 
People are pushing the Nats up to -155 based on their rookie pitcher and that makes me want to fade him.

That a pretty big number for a crappy team. For all I know kid a stud but it prob 50/50 how he handles his 1st big league start. Backing minor isn’t my idea of a good time tho, he been mostly terrible. I got no clue, I damn sure wouldn’t lay that on nats tho.
 
I want to bet baseball tonight, but trust nothing and no one.

Why he just making his debut at 24? Injuries? From the looks of it every time he has jumped up a level his gap between k/bb has narrowed. I guess that somewhat to be expected but walking 4+ thru 9 at any minor league stop makes me nervous, throw in the adrenaline of his 1st start and fact it don’t appear he has great command anyways and think there certainly a case to fade him. Maybe reds Ff tt over 1.5 would be better just so you don’t have to trust minor? Seems like a given he gonna walk a few guys, just need one mistake over the middle after a walk and ya cash, or he walks several and a base hit cashes!
 
Braves?

Cardinals lefty José Quintana enters tonight with a 2-2 record and 8.37 ERA in 5 career starts against the #Braves, including a loss earlier this season when he was still with Pittsburgh. He has a 12.75 ERA in his past 3 starts against Atlanta with 7 homers allowed in 12 innings.
 
Nolan out?

Yea, just lucked out with that! Def think it makes the cards ff tt u1.5 even stronger!! I’d be way more likely to pitch around goldy with Dickerson hitting behind him! Even if Dickerson has been hot, he still not arenado who havinv a fantastic season nobody noticing since goldy is going HAM as he chasing the triple crown!!
 
This time of year ballclubs are breaking down...enjoy the ride and fucking throw the hammerdown...

His woman having his 1st baby I believe, no breaking down on cards, they primed and ready! Just running into a filthy mofo here tonight, think he can hold them down for 5 innings!! Most broken down thing about cards is Jack flaherty they say coming back again, I’ll believe that when I see it, He kinda turning into a spitting image of Reyes, a guy who could be our ace but never healthy and has never proven it for a entire season!
 
I think nolan at 3rd base or wherever he plays throughout the shifts is more of a loss then anything...guy is solid all around...st louis cardinals will always have a solid organization in place ....should have kept wacha

Good point. Irrelevant to my play tonight but def something to think about if betting a side or total for both teams. Before knowing he was out my problem (why I just played cards tt) was j couldn’t come up with a stat line on Quintana I felt confident in. Believe he gonna be out this entire series so that hurts cards.

Forget wacha, he never reached his potential either, teams still treat him w kid gloves and rarely let him face a order 3rd time around, he can be really good still but he never been all that consistent. Who we shoulda held on to was Alcantera and Gallen! We traded those 2 for that waste of space Ozuna coming back to town tonight!! I’d like to go throw something at him! He set us back, we still havnt found replacement pitchers w those guys stuff and Ozuna was never that dude he was the year before we traded for him! Well he did tear it up during the covid season, just enough to sucker Braves into a contract! Dude a clown!

Just the word Ozuna has become a punch line. At least you've created a lol word out of him!

Shitty thing bout it is I really can’t bang on Mozalock for doing it. At the time it hurt me to give up Alcantera, I had already seen him and believed he had legit ace stuff (had no clue who Gallen was), but we needed a middle the order bat in the worst way!! That kid going and getting in wreck and getting himself killed really threw a wrench in cards long term plans as he was supposed to be like the next pujols!! I liked the move to get Ozuna, entering his prime and just had a monster season, he a clown tho and we never got anything close to that production! apparently cards lost the ability to churn out stud pitchers but at the time I thought dealing a pitcher was a position of strength! Drafting bats seemed much more problematic! Anyways there a ton I can bang on Mo for these days, I’d just be disingenuous banging on him for that trade. I blame Ozuna for being a clown! Look how he did Braves, showed out in the shortened year, gof more money/years and now he back to being a fucking clown who a liability in the field and the clubhouse while not producing much of shit at the plate.

At least you can type it without breaking something. People get divorced for rants like that, why marriage has never been in the cards (hehe). We all go through this.

Whether cards win or lose doesn’t have much effect on my happiness (unless I bet on or against them of course! Lol). I never have understood the crazy die hard passionate fans who act as if their children’s life hangs in the balance of a teams performance! It not that serious!

You have children?
 
I always been torn on the subject, I like kids, I woulda been a great dad, but it woulda forced me to seriously alter my irresponsible, carefree, live for the moment lifestyle that I valued a great deal in my 20s-30s! Now In my mid 40s I think I’d be more into it but feels too late and it not like I lose sleep at night broken up about it! There way too many Fuckin ppl anyways, somebody gotta put their foot down and say enough is enough! Unfortunately it always seems to be smart ppl wku would prob raise good ppl that don’t have them. The Fuckin morons who can’t help but suck at life spit them out like it their damn job to populate the earth!!
 
Haha another reason I can't do marriage. No chance I play daddy. Ever.

Now give me NBA ready talent I'll adopt.

She got 2, one on his own, her daughter is in high school but stay w her dad. When they were l younger every once in awhile they spend night, we occasionally do something w them or they needed me to give them a ride or throw them some money, I’m more like a crazy uncle much like I am to my real nephews than ever having to play daddy. No biggie. Lol
 
Few times over the years her daughter wasn’t getting her way at home and wanted to move in w us. I was like, we can talk bout but you ain’t getting your way and having your 17 year old boyfriend hanging out here either!! Pretty much squashed that noise! Lol
 
Mfer. Bubic having another crap start. I guess on the bright side he has 1 punch out this time, that more than he got me last game, fuck, now I gotta wonder if he hurt and not saying anything bout it? He could still settle down and hit this number but he another bad inning from being yanked in 3rd again. Cmon Mfer, I could pitch a few decent innings vs pads right now!!
 
Fuckinh steele gives up solo shot in bottom the 5th to lose the Ff, can’t blame him, his pussy lineup gave him nothing to work with, he held brewers under their Ff team total, Now need him to go out in the 6th inning and fan his 7th to take the cash!!

Need 3 more outs by strider to cash card Ff Ff under.

Somehow Bubic finally pulled his head out his ass and had a clean inning, he only 1 k away from taking the chedda, it be a small miracle he pulls that off after the start to this game. He trending up last few innings so just maybe he gets it done!

Hasn’t been easy but I see a path to a good night! Of course not far off it all ending horribly either, lol.
 
Unreal. 1 punch out away and steele leaves cause a injury. Gotta be fucking kidding me, the way that line got all way up to +145 I feel like there some foul play involved! Shit ignorant.

Jfc. And that how it all goes wrong. 1st steele gets “hurt”, now after Bubic finally settled down and had a clean inning matheny yanks him at 62 pitches, of course 1 k from cashing. Eat my fucking ass!
 
Wow that hurts 2. I don't get managers pulling pitchers at 60-70 pitches, just makes no sense.
 
Geez Louise did anyone have the Yankees Cole strikeouts over?! As in Oakland fan, even I barely know any of these guys coming up to that tonight for Oakland
 
Wow that hurts 2. I don't get managers pulling pitchers at 60-70 pitches, just makes no sense.

If he woulda yanked him in middle the 1st-2nd-or 3rd I woulda understood, but he waits till he settles down and has a clean inning where he fans a couple then he yanks him? He coulda easily given them 2+ more innings and coulda saved the crappy pen from starting the series by being overworked.

I seriously don’t know how that fucktard has a job anyways, I don’t think mlb managers make much a difference other than babysitting and keeping the spoiled millionaires happy, I’d say there maybe a 10 game difference between the ones who know what they doing and the worst in game morons like matheny or a senile TONY Larussa! Somehow this guy gets a huge paycheck to sit in the dugout and make decisions a 3rd grader could outsmart!
 
At least cashed the cards Ff Team total under. That was kinda a no brainer even before the Arenado news. They can’t deal with the stuff strider throwing!!
 
I’d be pissed if I bet milw, I didn’t think they were a good bet anyways but still feel for anyone on them. Peralta has a no hitter going and they yank him after 6 innings and 82 pitches! Shocking the pen comes in and gives up the lead! Lol. I mean sure, peralta pitch count was probably too high to go the entire 9 but if my guy pitching that well I’m damn sure letting him pitch at least the 7th and if he gets thru that quick enough maybe into the 8th!!
 
These mangers fucking kill me. Get paid way more than they worth and most the time the only impact they have is a negative 1!
 
The problem is between NFL preseason, college football, baseball and soccer, I'm trying to manage too many bets across too many sports. You're right about Cole and strikeouts, just didn't even occur to me.
 
I seriously think he pulled him after 6 innings cause he a gutless coward and didn’t want him to be in a situation where peralta was at 110 pitches before the 9th and still had the no no going.
 
Once managers crossed the line of pulling a guy throwing a no hitter, that's just mindblowing to me. Yet somehow, we still can't get an accurate strike zone even though everyone can see it at home.

What was Cole number? It usually super inflated. Against oak I’d guess it had to be 8.5? I don’t usually look at him, degrom, the real big names cause they getting pretty big numbers on them. Think degrom was 9.5 last start! Looked like he would get there easy then stalled out at 9. Needing a guy to get 9-10 just a huge ask, obviously they capable but they have to be totally on.
