Pluthero's 2013 MLB Thread

[RavensFan2k3]

Like the plays EXCEPT I think Lee and the Phils bats avoid a sweep tonight. Lee will look to keep the bullpen in the bullpen and the Phillies are seriously sliding, feel like they are due.

If the line holds, I like them. If it slides closer to (150), no play.

BOL today. Love the Cards play. Harvey gonna get lit up.

I feel like Wainwright gets hit a bit too. Cards prob win, but i I like the over

[thes0vereign]

O's/Sox a likely postponement, if you believe the Doppler.

[RetardStrength]

Great day, Plut! Damn Yanks and BoSox couldn't get it done for me/us, but the Cubbies and the Phils held. A nice little profit for us so I ain't complaining!

Let's get em!

BOL

[Pluthero]

Thanks RS, and jinx...seriously? My pop culture exposure has increased dramatically just from this thread.
Yesterday was a fantastic day for me personally because I hit a parlay with KC, StL, and Hou from the previous night. I'm pretty stoked about that.
6/14/13
Red Sox Ev 2.0X
Nationals +125 3.5X
Reds -152 1.5X
Mets -130 2.0X
Royals +165 1.5X
Braves -150 3.0X

I'll likely throw something down on Pit, but I don't have a line due to the pitching change. I haven't capped anything in the Central Time Zone yet and need to get some work done so I'll get to that sometime this afternoon. Good luck!

[Swarles]

Would you mind doing a small write up on your reasoning for the bravery?

[RetardStrength]

Plut can add his expertise but I pegged the Braves as a play because of the following:

1. How they play at home
2. Giants worst road team with +.500 record
3. Bumgardner is the equivalent of the first part of his name (especially against the Bravery)
4. Braves beat up on the road, recently swept by Pads. Look to get the ball rolling again (at home)
5. Medlen has found himself recently, a much better pitcher than when they played in SanFran back in May

[RetardStrength]

Plut how you feel bout these two dogs (I understand you may not answer till later)

Phils in a tough environment (Phillies wins and losses come in bundles)
Mariners - A's are due for a letdown loss and Mariners seem to have Milone's number... I love the "value" in the line right now because the A's are so hot, especially at home... Freaky Friday I think they give this one up after last nights marathon

[Pluthero]

Would you mind doing a small write up on your reasoning for the bravery?

No problem. RS pretty much summed it up, but I have this to add...I think the Braves are the superior team overall even when the Giants are healthy. If you take Sandoval, Scutaro, and Pagan out of the lineup and off the field they are vastly superior. Bumgarner gives me a little pause because he is incredibly talented and is the only reason I don't have more units on Atl. That being said, he's scuffled lately and Medlen's been much better at keeping guys on base from crossing the paydirt. Even at -150 I've got no problem throwing 3 units (technically risking 4.5) on the hotter team who's playing at home against a banged up Giants squad.

I'll let you know how I feel about those two dogs this afternoon.

im on padres and kc...lets go

[Marooner]

Why so big on pirates? In general they rely on pitching to win games, and locke has been roughed up in both his starts against dodgers. also, dodgers seem to have pirates number.

[Rented Mule]

Thanks Pluth. You the man. Gonna be a good night for you and the rest of us followers.

Been meaning to ask, is that a possum or opossum in your avatar?

[Swarles]

Thanks for that Pluthero! Your picks mean a lot when im choosing games to lay money on.

I don't put much stock in one team having another's number. Also, I have the Dodgers hitting .364/.391/.455 off Locke this year. Take away Crawford and Kemp and it looks like .294/.333/.294. He's only started one game against LA this year; the other was in 2011.

Thanks Pluth. You the man. Gonna be a good night for you and the rest of us followers.

Oh, that's a opossum bro.

[WiscoBets]

I'm giving up on the yankees for now.

[RetardStrength]

Ok. Temperature was plenty high before yesterday. No wonder things cooled down a little. Lets heat it back up today!!

[thes0vereign]

Down about half a unit yesterday, too. I guess I gotta just try harder.

Until then, I'll be posted up right here with my heat getting dough.

Love the Cubbies v. Niese in the early game. BOL Plut and co.!

[Pluthero]

Ok, heating it up!

Good luck today Pluth

BOL today!!

[thes0vereign]

I didn't like Miami, nor did I like the Cubs. When will I learn I shouldn't go against you? At least the O's are putting in work for the both of us!

[Pluthero]

Does anyone understand why the hell Sveum would put Marmol in the game when there's a Dave situation.
