CHW +128 (1U to win 1.28)

I don't really have any logic or reasoning to support this play, given how bad the White Sox have been and how hot the Royals are. I also think Sale is on the verge of a regression, so it doesn't make a ton of sense to back him in this spot against a team that performs well vs. lefties. Just going with my gut.

Sale looks like shit (should've listened to myself). He threw almost 40 pitches in the first inning. This bet is dead.

I'm 0 for my life betting the White Sox.

I've had some bizarre losses, but this one might take the cake.

Ramirez hits a go-ahead two-run homer in the 7th and the umps don't see it. Clearly fair by where it lands, they decide there isn't enough video evidence to overturn it.

Now, they aren't even going to score the tying run off of a bases-loaded, no-out situation in the 9th?

Only watching game cast so didn't actually see it but double play first to home wit bases loaded no outs down 1... Cmon

I love coiner.

Sox announcers were saying it was foul from their vantage point. This sox team has been playing piss poor recently and cost themselves a win today on base running gaffes.
Cheering for a 2-1 sox win

You need to see the replay of that homer, tat. I'm not sure what the umpires were looking at. From where fan in the stands catches the ball, there's no way that didn't clear in fair territory. Not sure why the umps weren't paying attention on the play.

Actually, Hawk and Stone both said it was fair. Again, where the guy caught the ball, I'm not sure how it could've been anything but.

Agree with this wholeheartedly.

This game is pissing me off and I haven't even lost my bet on it. Yet. Sox are so bad they will find a way to lose it now.

Love that you love the game. Even if it raises your heart rate to life shortening levels.

[zilchy]

A homer was literally the only way the Sox were going to get a run here. Worst base running ever. Now somebody get a save for fukk's sake.

[EXhoosier10]

There it is. Nice win coiner

[No coincidences]

Crazy game. I give credit to Sale -- that kid really gutted out a long performance despite throwing 50 pitches in the first two innings. I'll definitely take the ML split on FF and game. Whew.

Sorry guys -- I know I complain and get negative. Trying to just keep it here instead of starting new threads about it. I'm better when I'm not watching the games I bet on.

cant believe yoast pulled shields..no difference to me but you should send him a thank u card..

I shouldn't care so much. I don't bet a ton of money. Just do this for "fun" (LOL). Problem is with baseball, I played all the way until college, and feel like I know the game as well as any I bet on. I've made a ton of money playing fantasy baseball in the past. This is much more instant -- either instant gratification or instant failure. Love the highs and lows, but with so many games every day, sometimes it can get overwhelming.

Agree. Just stupid -- I don't care how good KC's bullpen is. But that's baseball these days.

I went to put in another unit on the Twins TT over but the game had started. Doh!

[You mad bro]

2-0 twins GL !

Writing was on the wall with that Reds bet. Could've bought out, but now I just need to hope for Arroyo to settle down. He doesn't look good.

ARI FF -105 (2.1U to win 2)
PHI TT under 3 (1.2U to win 1)

Nice call on Cubs

Thanks. I never thought I'd say it, but Feldman has looked pretty solid this year.

7-4, +3.59U tonight
173-148, +58.85U thread

What makes you lean toronto? All advance metrics point to Fausto being a different (and better) pitcher than before (he's in TB, so a smart coaching staff making a few tweaks for the better wouldn't be too shocking) while Happ's #'s don't look that great. Tampa FF -130 looks pretty good to me since their 'pen is pretty worn down

Happ has slowly but surely become more on the serviceable side from the games I've seen him pitch. I'm not a huge fan of Fausto as far as the eye test goes. And I think the Jays will have some momentum from last night's comeback -- maybe that woke them up a little. Conversely, that game cooked TB's bullpen and it wouldn't be surprised if it beat them twice. With that being said, I doubt I'll actually play it.

Still looking hard at the White Sox, D'Backs (FF probably), Rockies, Tribe and Reds. I'm going to lock the Rox in now, BTW. I'm not against fading Lince either.

COL -110 (2.2U to win 2)

Houston is awful, but should the Angels really be -180 on the road vs. anyone right now? Feel the same way about that as I do re: the Mets' number tonight.

CIN -115 (1.15U to win 1)
CHW +143 (1U to win 1)

Coin under Pacers game big?

Coin under Pacers game big?

I was thinking that, yes, but I'm tired of getting burned taking unders so I'll probably just pass.
