Is this a misprint or something? I only see 5 games 2marro which is a bummer. Oddly enough think 3 of them are dead even, not sure I remember seeing 3 games even money all in one day. Is my score app not showing some games? I can’t read your post very well so not sure if my score app missing games or you have duplicates?
Sadly only five games tomorrow

Normally I’d blast mlb but I think it was a necessity to have lot of teams who had home openers this week to have that day just in case. Lot of years cardinals would have the home opener then the following day off to make sure ppl who paid for the home opener got it. Pretty big deal around here, or it was until they alienated half the fan base. Years ago those greedy pricks stopped even selling individual tickets to home opener, to get the opener you had to buy like a 5 pack of games or some crap, or just go to secondary market. Couldn’t have the home opener get rained out and the idiots who bought the package to get that game god forbid get stuck at gm 3 or whatever! Lol. Not sure anyone cares now. I’m not sure they even sold the home opener out, how awful ya gotta be at your job to kill what used to be a guaranteed 3 million tickets sold?
Wish they could get an owner who at least pretended to care about winning. Or maybe the GM just has some huge dirt on him lol

It’s been one big cluster fuck for some time. If you recall I was trying to warn ya this was coming way before yadi left! We know Mo a damn idiot who rode others coattails to this spot, now he basically a lame duck president of operations or whatever his title is as he has made it clear this his last year. That be great news other than the fact the guy in line is apparently so bad he needed Mo to hold his hand for a year!! That can’t be good!!
Nothing they been doing last 5 years makes any fuvking sense unless their goal was to get as many former cards playing in all star game for other teams! If that was the goal they nailed it! Up until this year I didht consider ownership that cheap but then it came out they were not even gonna keep payroll in same range but slash prices everywhere cept for seats and beer, those cost continue to rise!!
No clue what kind of shit tv deal they cut and honestly i wouldn’t even know where to look if i did want to watch this shit show!! Gotta think if i can’t even find the games they had to take a haircut on this deal!! Guess they underestimated the unreasonable loyalty of Cards fans! It one thing to lose me I demand a lot, but to piss off cardinals nation to this extent wasn’t just poor management it took actual work cause for the most part cards fans are overly loyal dumb asses!! Maybe if more of them were like me it wouldn’t have fallen this far!!!
If it was up to them Arenado wouldn’t be here either but being the loser he is he turned down a trade that I assume woulda gave him a chance ro win, who needs that pressure when ya can cash your 30+ mil a year here and be loved for no reason! They frying to spin some nonsense that the money still being spent it just being used on scouting, player development, and i guess finding the next Japanese guy or South American star! Let’s say I even believe that I’ve seen what their scouting has produced so throwing more money at those idiots will surely bring massive returns! I’m sure in no time we will have the best player to ever come out of Pakistan or some shit!!!
I suppose this line of crap is their way of trying to sell $14 warm beers! The only good thing that has come out of all this is im pretty sure they actually gonna leave Walker alone and let him play, last year after breaking the record for longest hit streak by a rookie they sent him down for a month or so! He is black tho and I’m also fairly sure we have some racism in the organization !! I mean why not? Everything else fucked might as well keep it real and slap some secretaries asses while they at it!!!! We need someone from here who cares to buy this team but not sure anyone has that kind of money! It’s too bad John Goodman didn’t make it a little bigger! I don’t even know how much he likes baseball but I have no doubt they be better off w him in charge!! Lmfao

What a crappy card. I have some position player props I like. Not thrilled there basically no dogs at moment unless you want to bet Rox vs Phillies which I have no interest in!
I could maybe talk myself Into reds or Lodolo props later but no point worrying bout it now.
Think I have a few good position player props in bslfy and maybe minny but overall this card is short and gross. Not gonna spend anymore time with tonight! I’m emotionally whipped between the up and down swings today and just the whole thing with Theresa been taking a lot out of me! Im beat.
Really appreciate all the guys who contributed to wed thread and hope you all continue as every one of you brought or added things that helped the thread keep moving and was full of good info and opinions! I hope maybe a few more around here that stalk see that and decide to jump in as there a handful of guys here I have talked bases w for years to go almong w some the newer guys I already enjoy! There no bad post in here, ego’s bout being “right or wrong” just a bunch of guys that love this sport and know a secret lots of degens don’t realize, this sport a money maker if you willing to put in the time! Anyways hope to see everyone 2marro even tho card sucks.

Baseball been doing a lot of things right lately. If we could just teach the shitbag umps to use a iPad to get balls and strikes correct Id be so happy!
I'm big on featuring your product....
Drives me nuts when say the struggling NBA has a night mostly to itself and the last tip is at 8:40 Eastern.
Another instance is when say UFC is at noon on a CFB Saturday.
There's room for everyone!
Feature your product goshdarnit!

Opening day on the ncaa tourney was pretty damn stupid but overall think they doing a lot of things well under Manferd. But seriously how hard is it to work a iPad? I don’t like the idea of challenging a ball or strike. I feel like umps should have a handheld device that allows them to get these calls right instantly! I get very annoyed when a pitcher paints strike 3 we all can see but it called a ball, then best case it cost the pitcher 2-3 more pitches, worst case the next pitch gets crushed. Nor do I like seeing pitchers get shit 2-3 inches off the plate being called strikes when it such an easy fix that shouldn’t add any amount of time to the game! If they would just do this u be about as happy as I could be! It’s just the optics are so horrible when everyone but the ump can see he was wrong! Not blaming them it a very difficult job which why they should let technology fix it!!

I’d say let’s jump this party off but kinda a bummer only 5 games today, I assume it cause lot of teams had home opener this week so they had to have a built in day in case a rain out so I’m not mad at mlb, just a little bummed I’m getting in the zone and there not a ton to cap.. that’s ok I’ll go spend more time with Theresa this afternoon, I skipped yesterday which makes me feel guilty but every now and then I gotta take a emotional break day, never thought I’d say something like that! lol. Anyways / nights straight I slept freaking great for 5+ hours, that like some kind of record for me so I’m gonna put some coffee on , let puppy out and see what we can come up with. Hopefully others join me soon enough!

Liking hitter props in Balty today, maybe the over as well, got a nice helping wind and I think some guys that can hit these pitchers. I want to say Morton been historically a bit a slow starter and now he getting up there in years, if he anything like me (which crazy as it feels I’m now like 10 years give or take older than these “older guys”, lol , fuck).. it takes even longer to get the body all loosened up!
Pretty confident Red Sox are gonna hit, devers finally remembered what it felt like to actually make contact with a baseball last night!! I was greedy and tried his hr prop but he did have a double and single which 2 more hits than he had coming into the game!!
Just saw it raining in Balty and tarp down, I don’t wanna waste too much time if it gonna be a wash, honestly I don’t even like playing games with potential delays but I think I prefer hitter props than pitcher in those situations. Think when I checked weather it showed just cloudy and windy by game time, anyone closer to the area or w any knowledge on the situation would be appreciated!!

On the radar I def see a line of storms/rain that could effect that game, I assume that also the front that gonna give us the wind blowing out as well, guess we just gotta keep
A eye on but I’ve made a few hitter prop plays and debating over but not sure if I should wait for that or not? I do not like overs if the game starts a hour or 2 late and the guys all sitting around playing dominoes and shit!

So these offshore cats dint have every player h,r,rbi individually and they don’t let you parlay them which is smart on their part/same w pitcher stuff besides k’s. Pretty much the reason DK cut my limits to dog shit. Anyways that prevents me from playing Mullins as I’m not paying -155 straight on his h,r,rbi prop. I do think this one worth the price.
Red Sox Duran ov 1.5 h,r,rbi -140
They didn’t have a devers prop for this or I woulda been all over!! (For those of you getting to play at USA books).

Then I did this as they let you do other things with sgp’s,, just a small bet with nice payout.
Devers ov 2+ bases
Ohearn 2+ bases
Mullens 2+ bases
Duran 2+ bases
Over 9.5
Paid 18-1 so like I said just small.
Last one, this +750
Devers 3+ bases
Devers 1+ rbi
Ohearn 1+ rbi

Yordan ov 1.5 h,r,RBI -115
In a month you will never see this number on my guy, in fact you be lucky to get this price on over 2.5! He has a history of unloading on Ryan w 3 bombs and 4 hits in 12 at bats. My guy only has 3 hits on the season and 2 of them were last night!
I’ve mentioned the problems with Stros and I 100% believe his start has a lot to do with the dumb ass moves Stros made this offseason! Trading Tucker was such a cheap ass rays move! Only difference is rays have to operate that way and they would have gotten at least 1 guy who turns into an ace and a few other strong prospects! The Stros on the other hand get a crappy pitcher, a guy to take bregs spot in 2 hole (another dumb ass move) who will put up bombs over that short porch but he will do very little to help Yordan out, the underrated part about bregs was even if he wasn’t raking which was rare he was always taking professional at bats forcing pitchers to show a lot their stuff to get him out, made them work so when Yordan came up he not only had seen several the starters pitches but they were often a little worn down if bregs had a 7-8 ptch at bat!
If that not enough without looking I can pretty much guarantee bregs obp was 100 points higher than Peredas give or take so now less rbi chances for Yordan!! Allegedly stros got a highly thought of prospect along with those 2, I guess if he hits they did ok but cmon, stros execs must have been out playing golf when I watched the Stros offense go in the tank with Tucker injured! So instead of keep him for his contract year, a year I’d assume he very motivated to rake they send him to the fucking scrubbies no less (my guy @peelpub94 had to be creaming his shorts when he heard this!), it not a secret why cubs are smashing! Cause Tucker one the 5 or so best hitters in the damn game and Stros trade him away like they the fucking pirates!! Now at some point I do believe Walker will become decent protection for Yordan and should drive him in if he gets walked, at the moment I think he feeling that pressure tho, something he never really had In Zona where they just had fun and played ball! I actually think Ryan a good candidate for Walker to mash one today so If they decide to put Yordan on I’m somewhat optimistic Walker can get him home in this one.
Bottom line is no matter how stupid Houston was Yordan is one the best hitters in the game imo, he has very few holes in his swing and power all over the field. 2 hits yesterday I think gets him going and like I said you won’t see this kinda price on him all summer! Even against Ace we be talking -150s if the number 1.5.. this a must play imo.

Wow tomorrow is impressive timing wise. With betting this stuff is going to become very important. They should remain consistent with it, too! Friday being an all day MLB monopoly is a smart fucking plan. I couldn’t even tell you what days/times NBA has games on besides TNT Thursdays and even now I feel like they’re all over the board. And if a game says it starts at 730 sometimes it tops at 7:30 and sometimes it tips at 8:24. Makes no fucking sense. We’re creatures of habit. MLB Fridays all day seems awesome!

Didn’t know they were doing it but fuck yea! Couldn’t tell ya how many times I was bored capping games on Friday with only the stinkjng scrubbies playing! Great idea!! Today sucks but pretty sure it cause teams had home openers this week so they had to leave a day in case of rain out.
Speaking of nba since you brought up, I don’t watch much but I been dabbling w props and been really hot, got killed the year I tried a thread playing them, go figure. Maybe cause I don’t feel pressure to play them daily, sticking to guys I been following more, whatever it may be I smashed a 3 teamer last night, of course I’ll lose now but gotta freaking love
Bron ov 7.5 boards. Little juicy but until he got hurt and Luka arrived I been killing this prop.
Luka ov 7.5 dimes,, when bron was out I went more to his scoring but now that bron back he getting several easy ones setting bron up for layups every night! Can’t believe it only 7.5 against golden state, maybe they figured jimmy butler will hassle bron but I’ll take my chances luka should push 10 dimes tonight.
Rudy ov 15.5 “par”, he was killing this before getting hurt, gs one the few teams smaller than him, if he shoots it well he might not even need and boards or dimes. If he doesn’t he still gonna get 8–10 points and 7 boards w a dime or 2!!
Jarren Jackson jr 2+ blocks. Can’t believe this is +150, no clue wtf I’m missing here? Dude a beast, missed him when he was out, Heat have allowed plenty of less accomplished shot blockers to get 2-3 vs them! Unless he planning on only playing 15-20 minutes this line a joke! He plays his normal minutes he gets this at least 60% the time and it +150?? I could be missing something here!! Not sure what tho??

If I was sure rain wouldn’t be a factor in New York tonight I would be all bout Kelly over 4.5 k’s. I have to be 100% sure the game won’t be delayed or even worse start then get stopped as starters rarely come back in after that happens. Really sucks cause i havs little doubt Kelly fans 5 pretty easy here on a normal day as he won’t want to pitch to as much contact against that short porch.

Lodolo ov 5.5 k’s -120
He only struck out 1 in his 1st start, that was really odd, I’d expect a lot more milw players striking out. Ragans got 10 in 5 innings vs milw yesterday, not saying Lodolo is ragans but he lefty with good stuff who has has a career swinging strike rate over 12%. Small sample but nobody on Milw has had much of any success vs him, if this kid could ever stay healthy he be talked bout a lot more.

Yeah that’s always nice. Surrounding it with some 4s is icing on the cake!

I assume all the early starts are for home openers, hard to believe they give Friday night revenue away other than for Opening Day although I think Detroit's been trying that out for awhile now.

I know I’ve wrote a bunch bout things Stros did wrong but I still really don’t understand why this line keeps going twinks way? Stros would need another offseason as crappy this last one for twinks to be on their level imo! Doesn’t mean they can’t win today I just have no clue what ppl see in minny to bet them? Cause they finally beat the all mighty white sox? They recall the shitbag cardinals swept them right? A few good innings against crappy cws pitching and we gonna forget they scored 6 whole runs in 4 days before that?

I don’t feel like looking at both pitchers right this second but I think brown at worst a push with Ryan, wanna say I think brown has more potential. Correra never hits early in the year! I dunno If that started when he moved to cold ass minny or it been whole career but I sure can’t remember him hitting in minny til closer to June! Buxton chasing fly balls in cold is never more than one long stride from a hammy!! Lewis hurt already! Yes Houston made mistakes or deductions unknown by me that have weakened them but even in a better division I’d bet my left nut they still finish better than twinks! Im super confident they either finna pitch around Yordan or he gonna hit, I think paredes and walker can handle that Ryan fastball. This line seems stupid. Stros been playing better teams than twinks also.
If I remember correctly you bet and lost your left nut last year so you need to bet the right one or no bet

Big hit by devers in 9th to cash his h,r,rbi ov 1.5.. fucking bummed I went him and Duran in the parlay but it was the 2 guys after devers that did the damage. That and got Mullens but fucking Ohearn killed me, Mfer 0-4 w 3k’s. Had he got me 2 bases or Duran I woulda hit a nice one. Got the over game at least.

I dunno wtf I’m missing but i just grabbed stros +121, there no way that line is accurate.
The 7 I can understand cause neither team
Really hitting and either pitcher could blank the opposing team but the next time twins have a 56% chance of beating Stros it be the 1st time in a freaking decade!!! This has to be perception on twins still being high while Stros losing those guys has had their perception plummet. Unlsss Stros have a fire sale there no way twins finish ahead of them in standings. Today a good day for Walker to get the Mouse off his back, he can turn on one them Ryan fastballs quick! Yordan gonna start hitting, he actually started yesterday, he not gonna stop after 1 day!

I mean it take a little more but if Yordan and Walker get ahold that Ryan fastball it won’t matter what the weather like!
