    Oakland vs Astros watch out

    Just a warning. Everyday there is 2 or so trap games with all signs leading to a win. Yesterday was Yankees and Braves. Braves were at -200 to entice bettors. Oakland May be it today. I would rather pass these type of obvious games. Too many parlays get cleaned by these heavy juice games

    Took a shot with Stros +230. I love what Kazmir has done, but Astros are killing lefty pitchers and Oberholtzer has allowed two earned runs or less in five of his last six starts. He has pitched well in both of his starts in Oakland too.

    I think Astros swept Oakland last year. Some funny stuff like that. Even if Oakland wins I am learning there are some games that should be avoided or bet the least likely outcome if you have to

    Nope. Though A's did sweep Astros twice.

    Thing is everyone is looking for easy money. There isn't. You can bet Oakland and win but once you get in that habit Vegas gets you eventually. Look at how many errors Yankees made yesterday. Believe what you want Yankees practically gifted the Rangers the game. Btw rangers pitcher had over 10 era and Yankees have been scoring. Only managed two runs. I will be happy if I can circle a few games that are too obvious and don't bet them

    Gasto ain't that the truth about the Yanks game yesterday and also the Braves. There are no for sure winners in mlb I've noticed this being my first season trying. Some games though I've stared at the tv and just say really, like a team at some point doesn't give two shits about a lead/win....never know what could happen.

    A different take on high price teams

    Try betting them at -1 to reduce the juice if they win by 1 you push if they win by 2 you win. Maybe also try a few parlays on the overpriced bitches teams out there! haha

    Yankees are not the same caliber as Oakland this year. Oak on the run line boys

    Oakland lost. Never a sure thing with Vegas involved. So many roadblocks. Wainwright lost too to the Tampa Bay's. You actually would profit if you always bet the underdog in these situations. Best scenario is to to not touch these over -200 lines as Vegas is just begging you to throw away your money.

    True but my point is the heavily juiced teams always find a way to lose. Just something too remember before firing away on all sorts of parlays. Vegas will be waiting to trip those bets. Never fails.
