Pretty solid day, we made a profit off all those plays. Mad at myself for not playing any cardinals hitter props and pissed I didn’t play Trevor Williams total outs in Seattle, I knew he be good in that park against this lineup, guess can’t play them all tho! So mad Greene was garbage, did not expect him to regress, wonder if he came back to soon? Before injury there no way he pitched like that vs kc below avg lineup. Maybe should sit out his next start and see where he at, if course then he will dominate! Lol

Small card 2marro but already see potential, I’ll try to have some stuff up in morning, talking this stuff w ya’ll really the only thing that takes my mind off Theresa for awhile. And while I hate losing these last few plays the managers were totally the reason make me so angry! I deal with anger much better than sadness! lol

Hope they have Wheeler at 6.5 k’s again, that automatic. Matter a fact depending on number I could Dee playing both Philly pitcher k props in the double dip.
Have to look at jays vs lhp and springs but def lean springs in one way or another or A’s ml, I know they slumping and the manager had cost them a few wins which had compounded the losing, it can’t last forever they have to much young talent.
Rays have been on fire and think they have the starting pitcher edge. Even money tough to pass.
Gore in that pitchers paradise against Seattle lineup I smell a dominant performance!!

Bump. Set. Shuma!
Great writeup by Action Network at the luck that Mahle has experienced so far this season. Of course the prediction for regression is obvious to the writer. I'll see if I can find the writeup when I get some time. Remind me if I forget, got a few things going on tomorrow including my first interview in over 25 years at 1pm. On Zoom so will be in a polo and underwear with tequila nearby. I plan on conducting the interview fwiw, lots of questions.
That said I need your take on Philly/Braves as the only morning game, will get me through the prep work. Insta look I'm seeing the potential for a bunch of swing and miss from both starters.

Regarding Mahle @2daBank this is the writeup. Curious your thoughts on it, hard to argue what they're saying. Granted he ran into a Jays team that has been complete shit with situational hitting lately. Some years guys just have it. If it becomes consistent, it's no longer luck in my book but the points they make are very valid for me.
Rangers starting pitcher Tyler Mahle has been a total luckbox this year (1.80 ERA, 3.85 xERA, 4.16 xFIP, 9.4% K-BB, 25.1% CSW) behind a low BABIP (.231) and high strand rate (84.5%). He has a good fastball (100 Stuff+) and commands his arsenal well, but all his secondaries grade out poorly.

I think a few starts back I said something similar, in my style think I said his numbers were a bit fugazi imo, I then he beat me, lol. Last night was def a lot more about him pitching vs jays lineup and in Texas park which has proven to be very pitcher friendly it seems. I’m always careful about advanced metrics claiming a guy overachieving cause as you said guys can figure something out, I’ve always felt the advanced stuff is a good tool but I think it punishes guys who just know how to pitch, I’ve seen far to many guys the die hard analytic types will fade and fade and just lose over and over, then the guy has one bad start and they all come out to say “I told ya, regression!” Opposed to just a bad game, lol. I’m torn on Mahle, I think the park is helping him to a extent, I havnt really watched him much but I assume he has started figuring out ways to get weaker contact but I’m not 100% on that just a guess: I’m somewhat skeptical also considering what he been most his career but there no way I’d just fade him thinking regression coming any day, it have to be a situation I like. Another thing when the math nerds decide a guy is lucky they tend to drive prices like crazy often creating value on those guys, I’m not sure if he one those guys yet but my problem w takes based off straight analytics is they are far to black and white for me, i like most the world live in the grey area!

I like both pitches k props, Sanchez ov 5.5 a no brainer Braves sporting like a 28% strike out rate vs lefties and a ops well below .700 . They have hit Sanchez some but early start after a rain out think he prob punches 7.
The smith-shaver kid has a swinging strike that should prob make him 5.5, he has punched out 5+ in 6 of 8, Phillies swing for the fences and miss plenty, he has a good splitter as long he doesn’t get run early I don’t think he has any problem getting 5..

they not playing w my guy gore, 7.5 number is not a over k’s I like to play real often but it super tempting vs Seattle. M’s have actually hit lefties much better this year but they still strike out quite a bit vs them, might prefer the over 16.5 total outs here but I havnt dug real deep or decided quite yet. We got awhile before that game tonight.

Berrios under 18.5 outs. No clue why they got this dude to pitch more than 6? He has done it 2x all year, I think he has a better chance of getting knocked around than pitching this deep.
Gore ov 16.5 outs… I just couldnt bring myself to play over 7.5 k’s even tho he could easily strike out 10. He has went 6+ innings in 8 of 11 starts and pitching in one the best parks for pitchers. Seattle has hit lefties better this year than in the past but he isn’t exactly your average lhp.
