Thursday Discussion Thread

we know i hate favs but are pirates turning into a auto fade anytime the prices down around -150 or lower?
 
Red sox get another crack at Harvey now that their bats seem to have figured things out, they hung nice numbers in every game vs tampa. Gotta think Harvey gonna get banged around! Over maybe?
 
Waino a dog at home when we gonna have fans? Oh I dunno bout that! He loves pitching in front of the St. Louis faithful! I dunno if we can hit Burnes tho? Could be another Ff under? Really sucks won’t be a full house so Arenado gets the total experience!
 
Another thing is we got rain showers moving into the area and they might be around 2marro. Been 80s last few days but gonna drop way down and only be in 50s 2marro. Beats 30s but the timing of opening day now cards opener been shitty!!
 
poor Oakland can’t catch a scheduling break, gotta play Stros, Dodgers, now they going to Houston? Could be a really really bad start for the A’s! If they don’t get this game today vs lad who knows how long the losing streak builds?!?!!
 
What the park like in Florida jays are gonna be calling home? I dunno if I can stomach over regardless cause Jays bats have not been very good. Pitching won them the yanks series, only scored 3 runs in all 3 those games then in texas they scored 11 in 3 games! The starting pitching screams over but Dunno bout jays bats.

Yea I was surprised, but i suppose, books are still feeling out the teams too and not sure how good or bad teams are yet. There's value with Waino, but for how long. Perhaps the hitting is the issue between the teams --pitching being fairly equal.
 
Gotta like Cubs with Arrieta vs Bucs. Arrieta has a fairly good record against the Pirates. Tyler Anderson has been hittable and the BP hasn't been lights out giving the Cubs a good chance to score some runs.
Gotta play the losing streak until the Bucs win i suppose. Pirates have had some long losing streaks in the past couple of years.

Considering Twins/Red Sox Parlay. I just don't like Matt Harvey. Is he really back? I swear he must be old as dirt, but IDK.

Springer was supposed to come back today, but they are awaiting his MRI on the quad.. he developed an injury while waiting to return from an injury.

it a lot damper and chillier than it been here recently, prob another good Ff under.

unreal, he not one these guys that got the money now ready to chill is he?
 
don't think so, but i'm hoping the injury isn't too serious for his quad.. got it while running the bases
Yeah rush back on a bad quad it's funny how the other hammy isn't afraid to go then you could be talking issues all season

yup over compensation and leaning on the other good side etc.

it's 6 games in, he can sit a little longer if he needs.
 
I agree with ya 2dabank. I like Brewers vs Cards under. Weather is cooler but the sun has broken out in Southern Illinois and its not to bad. I think Waino will be jacked up. I like Burnes a lot for the Brew Crew. Will probably end up 10-8 lol.

it still pretty much cloudy and damp here just 10 min south of stadium. There chance for some light rain this afternoon but I don’t think it will effect game much in way of stoppages or anything. I know one thing, the ball not gonna carry at all at Busch today!
 
Royals are tempting at the price even tho I really like lynn. Kc has some guys thst have hit him pretty well. Problem is it looks like potential for rain in Chicago and there nothing I hate more than being involved in games with rain delays. Prob just a pass for me.
 
I hate these opening games of series when it so freaking hard to get the umps, why do they act like it some national secret? Obviously they know what crews are where, what up with the secrecy??

there is a fairly strong breeze blowing out but really don’t think it help much, days like today Busch plays really big.
 
Burnes hasn’t been real good vs the cardinals or at Busch, until last year he had been pretty awful in day games but appears he turned that around last season. In his 1st start his velo was even better than previous years, cutter and sinker both up over 1.5 mph faster (the cutter actually 2.5 faster!). I think cards fare better vs fastballs but not sure bout these. I’d expect he be tough for them.

we expected waino to get jacked up in cincy and he didn’t disappoint! Lol. But at home where he has been nails his whole career (other than that one outlier season few years ago where he looked finished), during the day where he typically better, and the home opener? Oh and against a brewers team he has always pitched well against! I don’t think there much chance he gives up more than 1-2 runs over 6 innings.

Ff under for me.

Pretty sure they're very aware anymore how much umps play into gambling and don't want to feed the beast
 
Cards and milw offenses not exactly setting the world on fire either. Cards sporting a team ops of .659, really a great deal their run production has came off pitchers walking a lot of guys. Not to be outdone brewers have the worst collective ops in baseball at a abysmal .515, barely averaging over 3 rpg and that was playing at 2 hitter friendly parks.

so hypocritical, even tho I think gambling prob drives baseball less than the other sports,, still a big reason why ppl interested.

I don’t love that canning hasn’t pitched a game yet this year for halos but I think you have to take them as small dogs vs Jays. Jays wins have come thanks to their pitching and I Cant see stripling holding down laa offense. Jays offense has struggled out the gates w a .647 ops and with stripling going ya gotta think they will have to score quite a few runs to hang with laa.
 
Looks like it gonna be a really small card today. I prefer more games but im not trying to force anything. So far this is it:

milw/stl Ff u4
Laa ml

I'll join with the milw/Stl FFU3.5 thru my book. but passing on the LAA ML
Unless I hit the mlw/st FF and/or the Cubbies, then I'll take that and throw some on the LAA ML lol. House money.

As much as I am rooting for my Buccos, their pitching has a lot to be desired and just like that Bryant hits a Solo HR. Bucs down 1-0.

I liked Cubs also I just was kinda busy and didn’t have enough time to dig real deep into the earlier starts to figure out a way to play them without the juice. Never know if it a good idea to have a light day in middle of a really hot streak or not? Lol.

I don’t have any problem with 3.5 at plus money opposed to paying the juice on u4. More times than not I opt for the lower number with better odds. I was just a little scared of them hitting 4 in this one.

The Mil/StL U3.5 with juice is through FanDuel prob the worst SB to use, but it's so convenient as far as being to access it on my phone and have it be readable lol. I hate it though because I lose out on so many game and player props that regular SB have. A lot of the SB i've looked at on iOS have just not appealed to me as far as design.

i feel ya. Making most my plays at casino sometimes limits me in ways but I do so much better playing with cash opposed to online. My little brother does baseball with me and he runs the online account cause he not a degen, he just puts the plays in I give him, all straight bets. Prevents me from doing any the stupid shit I’m known for! Lol.

I tend to be better managing my separate money when it cash! I still do parlays (he disagrees on this but I think baseball is the best sport to do round robins! And up to this point this season I have blown the straight bet account away! Both doing well but hitting so many 3-4 team RRs has really jacked up profit!) but I treat my money with more respect when it in my pocket compared to when I deposit i don’t always have the discipline, feels more like Monopoly money to me once I deposit it somewhere!!! I’ve had too many years where I was successful far as my win percentage but not so much on my bottom line! That has changed since I we started doing this and I can’t access the shared account! The things I have to go thru to have a chance at being successful! Lol.
 
Jeez. The fish gonna be a another easy Ff under, I just didn’t know anything about the kid pitching for them and mets lineup looks pretty tough. I had little doubt Walker would hold fish down. Already play their Ff unders a great deal when certain guys pitching but they might be turning into a team similar to tribe where it doesn’t even matter who the starters are!?!?!?

should post your RR too lol. I tried one in Basketball and hit one at least. I forget who did it. I think it was Paintcrew.

right on will do, it just 3-4 games out the ones I post. Like yesterday was just the 3 totals cause as I mentioned I just did the 2 favs together (and lost). I feel like 4 the ideal number for them, anything more and it just turning into too many bets. If ya hit 3 of 4 then you cash 3 of the 6 2team parlays so pretty decent profit, I only do groups of 2.

I also been doing some 3 teamers lately, that fine but you don’t make much of anything going 2 for 3. I have hit all 3 several days in a row so that nice but I don’t expect that to keep happening! Not this often anyways! Lol. I Just been on a sick run to start this year. Surely not gonna last much longer, I’m just grateful for every day it does!!
 
Burns is rolling after the leadoff triple to start the game. We got pretty lucky with goldsmidt being out and for some crazy reason Shildt elected to let the biggest scrub on our team hit 2nd!! I have no doubt if anyone but Carpenter was hitting 2md we probably get that run home!
 
Waino has had to pitch around some trouble which nothing new, only reason milw got the run across was cause Carlson misplayed a ball in outfield.
 
That why I left that one alone, hard enough to predict these things without having to worry bout how guys will perform after sitting around for hours! Woulda loved to play kc at that price, even tho lynn my guy!
 
My eyes during spring training told me there was a small jet stream to right at this new stadium, and it seems it’s back tonight. Grichuk got avergae contact and it carried to pretty much the wall in right

Looks like the stadium is only a couple thousand feet off the gulf, that breeze from the west has to be significant most of the time
 
I can’t believe this run keeps going!
I went to dinner missed the LAA ML but it was at -112 for me so not really worth it.
also forgot to parlay my BOS/MIN. Got busy with work lol

Tomorrow’s card looks ugly so far nothing I like at all so far.

i wouldn’t have played them as favs either. Plus money was the play in that game regardless result.

2marro another stinking day with bunch of teams off. Im so sick of these 7-8 game cards. I can’t wait till we back to normal with 14-15 games a day!! Not only low amount of games but several pitchers seeing same team they did in 1st start. I hate that! Space these div rivals playing each other so much out a little better!
 
What a performance by my guy Lance Lynn! So glad the rain kept me away from that one!! We could say the few hour delay helped put a damper on kc bats (see what I did there? “Damper”, lol) but that not fair to Lynn, just a masterful pitching job! Not 1 extra base hit, not one walk, 11k’s, and only took him 111 pitches to go the full 9 innings! It nothing new to see him have a pretty dominant performance but to not walk anyone and be that efficient isn’t really his MO!!
