Sunday Discussion Thread

Another day, another game I dunno how we not playing the over in cincy? This a far cry from past cardinals teams where I looked to play unders or nothing, lol. We had such high hopes for Carlos back in the day, thought he was gonna be a ace, was easily approaching being one the best 10-15 pitchers in the game then poof, it all went away. He has given us some strong innings in the pen in recent years but that bout it. You can’t trust this guy at all, his mood and ability to throw good pitches changes as often his goofy ass hair. Wanna say he doesn’t have a good history with this ump. I don’t think he been particularly good in this park, he has pitched pretty well his last couple outings of the spring but who knows what that means?

No idea bout Hoffman these days? I suppose could be a game where we get 2 guys with once great potential have themselves days but in that band box with temps rising, another helping wind out, and against 2 lineups who’s key middle the order guys off to hot starts? Doesn’t seem real likely they both do well. Tempers flaring up as they often do when reds and cards go at it, seems like a recipe for more fireworks. I’m gonna sleep on it but pretty sure over where I’ll be once again.
 
Not sure how thrilled I am with backing O’s to sweep but cmon with these prices. I seriously don’t think Red Sox are all that much better than balty! They been terrible in the field and getting shit on at the plate by guys who not exactly aces!! Why can’t this youngster once again limit them? And who knows what Richards looks like?? I know one thing, he will have at least one inning if not 2 he gonna have to get 4 outs the way Sox are fielding. And wr getting +150s to fade that? Dunno if I buy the sweep but taking each game as a individual commodity how can ya not take this price again?
 
I do think tribe get swept but not really getting nearly as good a price on tigers in this one. Looks like another Ff under to me long as Civile can hold up his end.
 
Oak favs even tho stros proving to be the much better team right now. Maybe this pitching matchup favors A’s little more but I don’t trust their lineup and the top and heart of Stros order is raking. Oak getting respect on lines but don’t they generally take awhile before they make a move and start winning games? We see if this team can do what most a’s teams do later on but right now they don’t look like a very good team.
 
I gotta look at gomber and see bout him at coors, Urias had a huge breakout party in the playoffs last year. Dunno how he has pitched at coors, will look later but if he been ok I like him to mow rox down for 5 innings or so. I’d have to really like Gomber to play the Ff under so what the other options? Maybe lay 1.5 thru 5 innings as the half run still be expensive. Or use Dodgers Ff in some kind of parlay?
 
I dunno how ya can like A’s laying any chalk? No clue if it is indeed tough to sweep on road? Havnt seen numbers either way but I don’t think the other games have anything to do with the next? To me it Stros or nothing. Manaea been pretty good vs most Stros key hitters but he hasn’t looked particularly sharp in spring (for whatever that worth). He does has other favorable things working for him, better in day, been solid early in seasons, the good numbers vs Stros and at home. He def why they small favs.

I havnt been involved in this series so it prob just a pass for me. I just have a hard time seeing why A’s favored? Feel like that based on perception more than current reality. I do have a couple friends that been on A’s all series and I imagine they not alone and gonna be pounding A’s in this one, so I could see line going higher, if that happens I might get convinced to play houston small if it gets up to the +115 or higher range, think that my number where it a must play.

could be a Ff under also, if you believe the Manaea spring not a big deal. Certainly don’t expect a’s offense to explode, that lineup is not particularly scary imo. If you like A’s ya gotta like Manaea to have a strong start I would imagine?
 
Braves. Anderson will lock it down. Clev, don’t trust det starter they’ve only won twice w him starting. Hou, they are hitting at the moment sbf oak doesn’t hit urquidy. Laa
 
German should win but fuck this season has not started well

i played Jays. Don’t know anything bout their pitcher but figure they could hit German. Just think these teams way closer than the line has suggested.

tigers starter has potential. WAy better price to back tribe today, I’d assume cause this kids stuff? I took ff under against
 
German for the Yanks had a dominant spring. Other kid looks like he got hit around on.

I don’t think sprigs mean much, although it could be problematic for Jays kid cause I’m assuming he was pitching to make the roster, there had to be something Jays liked? I don’t trust dominant sprigs to carry over, who knows what kind of hitters he was facing? Webb was awesome for San Francisco in spring and seattle did decent damage against him last night. I know nothing bout Jays starter so not my favorite bet but I just don’t buy the prices on yanks this series. Jays lineup every bit as impressive to me and their pen looks good.
 
Damn, I’m gonna have to make a 2nd trip back to casino. Gotta play twinks now that they shifting to dogs! I don’t really understand why money driving that line to flip? I thought the open was bout right.

What all did you take today?
 
I have Balty ml also. Took the +1.5 in my RR but played the ml straight. My bad, was running down my RR tickets to list them, easier than rifling thru the single straight bets, lol
 
Both pitchers are dealing in cincy. Shoulda damn known better than to expect 3 straight overs with the cards.. Carlos looks like the guy I used to think was gonna be a ace.

it so crazy/awesome tribe lose both games as real large favs then win when their price playable! Gotta love it! Lol. Shame I been avoiding any size favs so far, eventually I will play some below -140 i would think, Havnt needed to even consider up to this point as dogs been killing it!
 
cards/reds ov9.5
Balty +1.5
Jays ml
Tribe/tigers Ff u4.5
Lad/Rox Ff u6.5
White Sox ml

might go back and add twinks and the Ff under in Oakland.

boom goes the dynamite!

kinda pissed I didn’t play more games, I had few other leans that cashed but felt like I had enough plays, lol.
 
I’m not high on cease and I’m always scared when trout is up late in games but I’d lean CWS too

I dunno how I feel about him. He has some indicators that look like he could have a good year. Really dunno what kinda ohtani have in him either? Not like he has ever established himself as a pitcher here and he apparently dealing w blisters. Certainly wouldn’t expect him to go deep, I prefer Sox pen, think it basically a coin flip so as always I’ll take the small dog in these types games. I kinda expect to lose just cause I’ve hit freaking everything today, usually how it works, if I didn’t do so well I’d prob hedge a little but had great day so this just going for cherry on top.

Neither will go deep here imo. 5 max.
 
Cease is a can. Dude blows

I could live w him giving up 3, I knew ohtani wasn’t going past 5th, added bonus madden left him out there too long then halo’s made a comedy of errors to let all those guys he walked Come home! I really couldn’t ask for anything more, I got a tie game and plus on I think the better pen. Sucks anderson got hurt at start of game but I think laa loses ohtani’s bat for rest of game also don’t they? So pitcher spot be in front of trout so that helps.

Madden should have taken ohtani out when Eaton was up. He wanted to get him thru 5 and it cost him

I was shocked he left him out there for abreu who loves fastballs, then after he walked him! Technically he got the strike out I guess then catcher botched that all up. lol. Everything was odd in that half inning. I’ll take it, gotta think sox favs in this game now. They should be imo.
