As consistent as the sun. gl all

Pluthero · 05-15-13, 08:28 AM

Thanks guys! I am at a new high-water mark for the season. I've got a lot of units at risk today so I hope we don't go backwards. Here we go......
5/15/13
Orioles -155 5.5X (should make thesOvereign happy)
Tigers -345 3.0X
Indians +150 1.0X
Rangers -110 5.0X
Brewers +105 1.0X
Mariners +105 0.5X
Reds -190 3.5X
Rays -115 2.5X
Cubs -130 1.0X
Cardinals -210 4.0X

I'm still waiting for the Blue Jays and Dodgers lines to come out, but I doubt there will be much of a play on either game. Good luck everyone!

5 units on Texas?? Care to share why? Im asking because I was on the other side

RetardStrength · 05-15-13, 10:01 AM

BOL Today

I'm on the other side of the Rays as the BoSox should have a nice outing by Lester... Also like the Braves in one of the earlier spots. I think Kennedy gets lit up today. I like Atl against RHP

Sure man. I just can't find a reason to back Oakland here except for the fact that they're at home. Crisp is coming back today, but I don't know if he'll be 100% because it was a hammy strain and he derives most of his value from his speed (that is conjecture on my part, he may in fact be at 100%).

I like Straily every bit as much as Ogando, but he's shown me nothing since getting called back up. This Texas lineup should be able to handle a young, struggling pitcher.

YOUNGBUCK · 05-15-13, 10:25 AM

Huge line move against Rangers Pluth

RavensFan2k3 · 05-15-13, 10:27 AM

This is why we love you man, we're able to question you and give us thought out responses. I greatly appreciate this. I guess the way I see it is A's bats are swinging. They already roughed up Ogando, why wouldnt it happen again? But you're right about Straily too...you may have me convinced. My O's scare me today. I was actually on SD last night. Today I lean my O's but im scared lol

I think we'll see dominant outings by both Lester and Price tonight but Tampa pulls out a close one. That Braves game looks like a toss up to me. Good luck with your Braves play.

Thanks RavensFan. Maybe that huge line movement is because the Athletics hit Texas well the past two games, or maybe the whole Texas regular lineup is resting and I missed it. The last time they faced Ogando was last October when he pitched in relief so they shouldn't be that ready for him.

The O's game is going to be a geriatric fight for the ages. At least it should be, I can't believe Marquis is only 34.

thes0vereign · 05-15-13, 11:16 AM

I am happy to see you are so confident in the O's, Pluth! I like the Rangers, Cards, and Reds picks, too.

In the BOS/TB game, I think the opposite result is going to occur. Close game with the Sox winning a low-scoring game by a run.

thes0vereign · 05-15-13, 01:50 PM

Ouch. The O's are allowing too many base runners to keep this competitive.

RetardStrength · 05-15-13, 01:56 PM

And Scherzer doing a great job keeping the Astros around with quite a few shit innings.

Pluthero · 05-15-13, 02:54 PM

Yeah, not a good start.

Tofudog · 05-15-13, 04:03 PM

Ouch Pluthero.. Hopefully the other games will work out pretty well.. I liked the O's there too but I could have homer influence... When I saw you on them for your largest play, I put 3u on it (and Im almost entirely a 1u bettor).

I also like the Rockies here. Samardzija is overrated IMO. Usually when I go against you I lose but we will see..

On the rest of your bets BOL!

Yesterday: 6-4; -7.225X
TTD: 239-175; +67.62X

It's not the worst day I've had by far, but it was still pretty disappointing. If Miggy had just a little more pop in his swing it would have been a +6 unit day. Also, if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle.

For us or the books?

RetardStrength · 05-16-13, 10:49 AM

I'm nervous about the Cards. For some odd reason I smell a Wainwright bloodbath today. I don't know why, I just have this feeling. Maybe I'm just not over yesterday's Scherzer shit show

The only thing that gives me pause about that game is that Wainwright threw 120 pitches his last start. But they were 120 DOMINANT freaking pitches. Also...it's the Mets. I'm not worried.

Vinnie Paz · 05-16-13, 10:59 AM

Pluth youre not into totals?

Pluthero · 05-16-13, 11:07 AM

Nope. I haven't found a way to cap them successfully. I might have a lean one way or another, but I won't but money on it.

joco · 05-16-13, 11:08 AM

niese has given up 15 ER in his last 2 starts...so even if wainwright isnt pitching like himself the cards should still put runs on the board

What about this

"There might be reason to believe that could come Wednesday for Niese, who is 2-1 with a 1.83 ERA in four starts against the Cardinals. However, this will be his first appearance at Busch Stadium."

And this...

"Wainwright has shined at home, yielding two runs and 11 hits in 25 innings while striking out 25 and walking three. However, he's lost his last three starts versus New York with a 9.92 ERA."

RetardStrength · 05-16-13, 11:21 AM

I gotta go with a small play on the Mets here... BOL to whatever you guys play

You are doing your name justice! But the guy has a point here when you go 6-4 with and you still lose 7 units something is wrong

But on the flip side I believe Plut knows what he's doing and he's consistently winning with a plus record

Just my 2 cents. I would never lay down that much chalk on a mlb game.
