Chucky commands you to click here for starting pitcher info
 
will be on the over at PNC, don’t care how bad you’re running Derek Holland 2020 is a cure for most ruts

they got us all earlier in the week, but of course i like them today as i've leaned their way all season yet have nothing to show for it. The lineup is horrid, might need to correct our expectations after the hot start
 
Workman and Hembree from the Red Sox. I expect them to be in full desperation mode to make the playoffs or that front office will probably be looking for new jobs.

You’re preaching to the choir when I say they were overachieving, but that pen isn’t very good and they are Still playing loose which is great for them. Boston’s pen is meh and much worse now that workman is gone.

Got ryu 1.80.. seems fishy but I took it

he was great against a very toothless BAL lineup that was masquerading as a decent group of swingers. Not sure what to make of Ryu, but i guess new league and this COVID situation and leaving the LAD organization could all combine to throw him off a bit early in the year

Was hoping he'd be dogged, not sure what seems fishy about a road favorite when TB has been on a roll and already saw Ryu this year

Think it’s just that. Let down on the first game back from road trip for the rays, ryu looked good against them first game and has been much more consistent lately, sledgers did not impress me against the Yankees. Expected a lower line around the -135 mark tbh
 
Zolecki MLB.com writer said Hale DFA from NYY will be available today but the other guys this weekend, which makes me think not today (genius i know)

that's an issue for today and while ATL is in a bullpen game they have a much stronger pen with depth

on the road? @ 1st place TB? after closing -124 @ BAL? That's crazy
 
it's about 6.75 on a 162-game season fwiw, but there's a ton of optics in oddsmaking and TB has all of them right now

I get it, I understand where you’re coming from and definitely understand a good chunk of the optics you’re speaking of, but I personally made it -130 and so the -120 threw me for a loop. You can’t sit there and tell me you expected a dogged line to Ryu and the current jays form with TB battling pen injuries and throwing out slegers all other optics aside.

Two blown games against the rays early in the season would also bring the two teams much closer in the standings if we’re using that as part of a feature of capping. one where the closer gets hurt and the other with Shun/Dolis not pitching to their capabilities, albeit a low ceiling.
 
i'm not saying it's useful or correct, just part of what makes a line impossible to favor Ryu -135 on the road @ the division leader and team expected to be superior to TOR. I was hoping to see Ryu dogged, but not gonna get that wish and probably better as I still don't have a lot of faith in TOR's plan of attack on offense

Definitely the blown 2nd game of the DH last Sunday too, but i'm wondering what pen injuries you're referring to? Besides Drake i'm unaware
 
Took Cubs O10.5 -104. I rarely play totals so can’t wait to see how this one loses in brutal fashion
