You doing any capping today? and you like anything for the early games?

Oak/Tor:
Happ is pretty much unbackable after watching his last start coming back from a concussion. fastballs velo was much higher than it has been over the past few years. almost seemed as if he was getting the jitters out rather than pitching. Oakland is without Balfour & maybe COok based on recent overusage/ Oak lineup is a bit > than toronto IMO. if i play this, i'd go FF oakland and not worry about oakland's pen. Not sure i see anything to back toronto

Edit: roof is open for today's game. Most domes wiht roof open = launching pad. Advantage toronto's offense as they're the a bit more homer prone than oak's lineup

Having a hard time seeing an advantage either way re: this game.

I'm tempted to take Houston +1.5, but it's a big gamble betting against Darvish and the Stros are in one of "those" stretches right now.

**EXhoosier10** · 08-12-13, 11:05 AM

Eh... Oak FF -117 for 1u

FF -0.5 was only +110 and didn't feel worth it. Lets hope Happ continues his struggles

Kulpa had a pretty big zone today with both Happ and Straily and not much could be done on offense being behind in the count every AB. Glad it was Oak who got on the board first

Wade Davis -200.......is this a joke?

That's exactly what I was thinking.

MIA +1.5 -110 (1.1U to win 1)
MIA +192 (.5U to win .96)

**No coincidences** · 08-12-13, 05:49 PM

CHW +120 (2U to win 2.4)

**No coincidences** · 08-12-13, 05:53 PM

Probably it for the night. Kind of like Phils and Cubs, but meh.

**No coincidences** · 08-12-13, 07:08 PM

CHC +1.5 -125 (1.25U to win 1)

**EXhoosier10** · 08-12-13, 08:26 PM

No thoughts on the late games. can't back nolasco at -190 against Jenrry Mejia who has been a stud so far. Feldman and Miley I lean under 8.5 -115, but that's about it

I think the Dodgers cover both ML and -1.5, but that number is beyond way too juicy.

Nice hit with the A's earlier, Ex. Baseball is such a funny game -- was watching that one late, and Toronto had tied it at 1-1 with all of the momentum in the world and runners at the corners with just one out in the 8th. Someone hit a bullet up the middle that was caught for a double play, and then Oakland scores four in the ninth -- and their rally started with a little bloop flare double down the line that landed inches fair.

Juice is loose again on a Monday.

6-2 start for favorites.

**No coincidences** · 08-12-13, 09:42 PM

Marlins just ungodly awful with RISP right now.

**No coincidences** · 08-12-13, 10:03 PM

Leadoff double by Miami and the guy just stands there picking his nose the rest of the inning.

**oldscho0led** · 08-13-13, 06:43 AM

You took Astros RL a while ago? Stros' RL looking juicy again on a struggling A's

**Vinnie Paz** · 08-13-13, 09:00 AM

Not sure houstons worth it tonight
I mean you got their absolute worst pitcher + a god awful bullpen against Oaklands best + a rock solid pen + a guy who throws a shit ton of strikeouts. Idk, just not the ideal matchup I'd like to have when backing astros. They're begging for it too, I mean you can +120 for a +1.5 for cryin out loud. It could happen of course but I'll pass this time.

**EXhoosier10** · 08-13-13, 05:00 PM

Leans (more to be added):
Cle FF +105
Cin -141 or -1RL -120

I'm looking at Seattle +1.5, but I could've gotten a -110 earlier and now it's -125.

**No coincidences** · 08-13-13, 05:21 PM

StL -167 (3.34U to win 2)
SEA +1.5 -120 (1.2U to win 1)
SEA +172 (.5U to win .86)
HOU +1.5 +120 (1U to win 1.2)
SF +120 (1U to win 1.2)
CHW +1.5 +105 (1U to win 1.05)

**EXhoosier10** · 08-13-13, 05:47 PM

7:10 -- Cle FF +105 --- 1u
7:10 -- Cle @ Min -102 --- 3u

Cin ML or -1RL (~2u), Mil FF (1u), and bal FF (1u) will be played as well but are not booked yet

You took Cleveland or Minnesota for 3U?

Thanks, you too. I was thinking about backing wainwright too, but got a last minute invite to the scrubs game and didn't have time to research

Good luck boys, still in newborn weeds, no time to cap.

I took the Mets FF last night, and would again, but gotta think last night's late loss could linger for Mets bats..tough still considering

**No coincidences** · 08-13-13, 08:36 PM

Figures -- Charlie Morton 2-8 with an ERA over 6 in his career vs. the Cards, but of course tonight he's unhittable.

**No coincidences** · 08-13-13, 08:56 PM

Tempted to add to HOU, both FF +0.5 and game +1.5.

Line is ridiculous.

**No coincidences** · 08-13-13, 09:13 PM

Cardinals are driving me nuts.

Fwiw, Morton is throwing 93 this year while he used to throw upper 80's. I want him to keep sucking, but he's a different guy than in the past.
