Whatever it is about the ESPN Monday Night tv spot, it has a distinct theme for the 2014 season...
Road dogs are 13-5 SU & 15-3 on the runline (vs. Home dogs 1-2 SU/2-1 RL).
Road dogs scoring 1st have gone 10-1 SU & 11-0 RL.
But that still doesn't spell out the dominance of the dog in this tv spot: the season's first 3 Mondays featured one 3 game day (Mar. 31st) & one 2 game day (Apr. 14th). Since they switched permanently to featuring just one game per Monday (meaning no late/r games for peeps to chase, starting April 21st), the dog has racked up a 12-3 SU/14-1 RL record.
Something a little kooky going on with the totals too. Not that the number itself is unbalanced in any way (sitting at O/U 8-12-1), it's just that when matched with the current Sunday Night record (O/U 11-7-1) we're left with a perfectly balanced 19-19-1 mark. Whatever's happening on the Sunday spot, is getting cancelled by the Monday spot. If you'd noted the Sun Night total result and bet its opposite for the 7/8pm est Mon Night game this season, you'd currently sport a (ecuse me) 10-6-1 record.
Wish I had more confidence in the rockies bats because I'd take Lyles at that price against the pads returning home from a decent road trip (split against minny) and won another series agaisnt the bucs
leaning under in the Jays game:
think we see another good outing from hutch..the last time he went a CG (yes he only went 8.2 against Balt) was ag ainst texas where he beat Yu 2-0 and then followed up with 5.2 on 5 days rest gave up 1ER...he won that game as well..The M's bats haven't seen him so there's an edge there and then you get Felix on the other side of the free swinging Jays...it's well-documented that hutch is a road warrior, but that last start @ home versus the O's was a confidence booster
BTW Edwin + Lind Started rehab....I'm expecting Juan to be optioned when Lind is back up and one of the pitchers to be optioned back when Edwin is ready...
They sent down Goins for Mills because of last night's marathon and in case Hutch doesn't have it...
i had read that Lind is far ahead of EE who had a setback (not sure what days were thrown around). For that reason, I still think the Jays lineup is missing key parts and though +205 is appetizing on Hutch I think under is the better play. Gonna wait on an ump to see what I'm doing, over guy and I may take a shot at the Jays
Knight/Fairchild/Wolcott/Gorman were out West, unfortunately Gorman just went SEA to OAK so he'll be gone. Hoping for Fairchild of that group
