Nobody has anything to discuss?!?! I think pads win but also think they overpriced. How can you lay that with a guy who hasn’t pitched yet after being shut down w a injury last year? I expect pads offense to wake up as Houser a big step down from the stud pitchers they been facing this series. Dont love overs with milw but with my thinking pads get to houser and the unknown of Lamet we have a pretty low total that seems attainable to me. Think I’ve mentioned how much I hate/suck at overs but this one isn’t a game I’m thinking some huge offensive outbursts, just think they can get over 7.5!
 
Are shadows a issue that time of day in San Diego? I assume they wouldn’t be at beginning as sun should be overhead, but I dunno as they get later into the game do they creep in?
 
I liked the fish but wasn’t able to get to casino. Those fuckers told me a week ago that following days mlb lines came out around midnight. So I went up there to cash my tickets last night and planned on playing fish but the damn sportsbook closed at 11pm!! Lol, fucking idiot liar! On the bright side since I had to cash my tickets over on casino side I decided to stop and play roulette for a minute and stacked up 350 in 15 min or so and bounced! That what they get! Lol

Definitely a thing in the later innings

maybe 1st 5 over be better? Not sure if I have ever played a ff over tho! I just can’t convince myself it would make more sense with pen and extra inning rules. Maybe it does make sense here tho, both pens probably be effective, especially if they aided by shadows.

Yeah I have no feel for that one

FYI AZ finally passed sports gambling legislation last Thursday and also daily fantasy which we've never been able to do. And the obvious first step???? Suns partnering with FanDuel to announce the first book in the state...at the arena lol. 6000 sq ft.

I am excited to see how churched up the Indian casinos in Scottsdale, Glendale, Chandler etc go, guessing they could be pretty elaborate

that’s cool! Congrats! I can’t wait till missouri gets around to pulling heads out their asses and I can go right down street instead of across the river (10 min difference! Lol) Better yet once missouri gets some act right I don’t always have to go to casino, I still will most the time but having the app be nice on days like today where I couldn’t get to casino to play the fish!

Crazy ya’ll couldn’t do DFS either, I thought that was legal everywhere (until you told me awhile back), I just deposited in FanDuel to start doing dfs baseball today!!! It took me few years but I finally started banking on dfs baseball last year, way I see it I’m pretty much doing the work anyways, might as well try to take advantage!! I’ll prob put some in draftkings also since there some pretty big differences in rules and prices of players.

far as the Milw/pads game I just feel like there a pretty good chance at least one the starters gets roughed up a little. I like pads lefties vs Houser and who knows what we get from Lament. 7.5 or 3.5/4 for 1st 5 seems very attainable.

Meanwhile in NY......we’re still waiting.....smh......
 
Angels too expensive but I do think Quintana will finally have himself a good or at least solid start! He has had a bunch of time off since his last horrible outing and he has thrived on extra rest most his career. Rangers been awful against lhp with a collective ops barely above .600 which lines up with last season. If he gonna have a good start I think this be the time!! I’d think halo’s knock folty around. Maybe we can lay the -1.5 there?

Folty too many flaws for me to back, but Quintana might be done

I think halo’s gonna rough folty up. Feel like this the game that gonna tell us if Quintana has anything, if he can’t put together a good outing here I don’t know how he ever will? I don’t have anything on it.
 
Looks like twins starting to get their timing back. Don’t look now but Josh Donaldson is actually playing!! Over/under how many days till he hurt again? Will he make it all 9 innings? Lol
 
Why not Braves tonight? At least Anderson has potential at start of his career while Kluber’s is winding down in unpleasant fashion! Kluber velo has been dipping every year to the point he now barely over 90mph. Really strong wind blowing out at yankee stadium tonight and Anderson gets a lot of ground balls which should help here. Dunno why line has climbed a little but +130 seems like the play to me.

i put him on the draft under no circumstances list for fantasy, Judge and Stanton are getting close to making that list too

last night was a brutal loss on ATL, but i think i'll be there again with you. Anderson's command hasn't been great, but Kluber hasn't been able to get to the 5th

Maybe the market was hoping for Acuna to be in the lineup, but the jump just makes me want it more so long as Matzek can throw a strike tonight. He and the Cards last night walking everybody at the same time had me ready to smash something

ive never played full season fantasy baseball. I wanna try it one these years. My brother in a league but pretty sure they play a keeper league or something with same teams for years (don’t know exactly how it works), so bout impossible to get in and I assume if ya do you stuck with last persons mess. Think I would enjoy, and yea Donaldson not worth the headache. I’d def agree with Stanton being on it also, when last time that dude put together a great season? Has he with the yanks?

lmao. I was on nats, that 1st time all year I recall my team getting the runner walked home!! Feels lot better than being on other side but still felt dirty, like even tho it benefited me I was still talking bad about Gallegos doing it! I seriously rather the pitcher throw a bp fastball down the middle and make them get a hit than walk a guy home, so disgusting!

is there something wrong with Acuna or just day off?
 
Would 1st 5 make more sense with Braves? Obviously we losing some the price but the biggest reason for the atl lean is I expect anderson to out pitch kluber, if Braves not up after 5 I won’t be thrilled having them in a pen battle with yanks. Just thinking out loud.
 
GWarner27 said:
Lamet went two fucking innings
Click to expand...

that was the problem with that game, nobody knew what exactly we were gonna get out of him?! I assumed 4ish innings, 5 if everything went perfect. 29 pitches way less than anyone could have thought? Don’t really understand that unless something felt wrong to him?

i'm not afraid of the NYY pen. Chapman has been good, rest of them average and they traded away Ottavino in-division to get under the luxury tax
