My MLB 2013 thread

[Dillonious Monk]

Been doing pretty decent capping and in the SBR contests so I guess I'm going to start up a thread and see how I do. The forum probably doesn't need any more cappers but what the hell, I'll get one going anyway.

To start things off...

5/11
Cardinals over 7 -135
Royals R/L +145
Phillies -104 (x2)
Pirates +102 (x2)
A's -105 (x2)

[Dillonious Monk]

Adding 1u on Orioles -105

5/12
Cardinals -153
Reds R/L +130
Orioles +100 (x2)
Dodgers over 7 1/2 -105

[Dillonious Monk]

Adding 1u to Braves +110

I know I was pretty late on this but the Braves were favored last time I checked. Wouldn't have played it if it wouldn't have gotten up to around where it's at.

One more for the day: Angels +121

[Dillonious Monk]

Angels are ******, Sale isn't gonna give up shit these final 2 innings. All my late adds have been bogus but good news is I'm 6-6 and well in the green thanks to the 2 unit plays going 4-0 so far. A nice little start on the weekend and tomorrow's a new and full week which will bring about plenty of oppurtunity. I intend to nut up and take some shots at some of these bigger dogs. It's hard not to tell yourself your a bit ignorant when you see a big juicy + money line that you don't quite agree with, liked cubs and pirates today a bit but couldn't pull the trigger!

Mann not a good run lately. Relievers have been shitting the bed on me. Blew the Reds and Tigers game and caused the Angels game to push. But I only need a couple good days to be right back where I need to be. Made some bad plays I'll admit but some of these plays I'm smoking the closing line (Reds, Orioles over) and it's just not working out. Hopefully I can make up for it with a great week. Good luck to everyone this week.

Gonna throw a couple of these in there as well. Technically they are still MLB plays as well as NHL plays, ya digg..Senators are scrappy so I'll throw Pitt ML in an open 2 teamer that I will attempt to close with an MLB play if it hits. I was on Ottawa the last game of the series and based off of how that game went (Senators got a lucky win) and how the Pens responded to losses against an Islanders team that was playing better than the Senators currently are imo, I have no problem risking 2u on them with a few different small plays.

Back to only -2.58 now after the last couple days...and as you can see the 1st leg (Pitt. Penguins -135) of the last parlay is complete but there is still one leg left to close.

Just a heads up that whenever I do a parlay I'm always risking 1u unless it still has juice.

To me I think there is a little value with the correlated plays I made and I just like the prices for the home teams I picked. I also like the chances of the Cards and Dodgers putting up some runs at those odds. Lynn is a hot and cold pitcher and he has been a bit off and on his last few starts and I can see the Dodgers putting up some runs when they need a win here. I also like the Cards' bats chances in almost every game. I like the Penguins to close it out in the NHL, also, so why not throw that in with the WhiteSox/Marlins game.

I know it may seem ridiculous with all the small correlated plays but their low risk and they yield alot if they hit. Plus I think you can find value in the correlations as I mentioned earlier. I think the game is more likely to stay under in NY if the Mets win so I parlay the under at +105. I think it's more likely to go over for the Brewers it they win their game, so I parlay the +112, etc. The total is a middleground as to how the game may and on paper should play out, but you can say that if team A is to win that they need to score this many runs or hold the other team to so many. These discrepancies might be more expected in a game where there is a dominant pitcher or a hot line up involved.

Correlations are fun...I went 6-5 and lost both 2u plays but made 1.67 with alot of help from the 2 correlations that came through (and also the DBacks RL helped obviously). They went 2-3 but managed a nice little profit. I almost played Whitesox/under/Pens PL as well at around +580 but pussed out lol, oh well. Kinda funky just tossing NHL plays with baseball plays randomly but ya gotta take advantage of a dominant team like Pens but of course nobody wants to play -205 straight...

Scratched out .66 from the Phillies/Blackhawks portion of that parlay and .75 from the Phillies/Bruins portion of that one...the Philly over 8 portion was a push on both.

Back to being in the green, boys. This +4.16 day brings me to 3.65 ytd. The parlays/correlations definitely help out sometimes. Today I see more of a day for just straight plays which is what it mostly consists of, don't wanna include any NHL as I don't have much interest in playing the Kings and Sharks game and I don't see many ML/total correlations I like for MLB so...good luck all.

-6.04 last couple days. Puts me back in the red by a little bit for the year. I put alot of my eggs in one basket on the Wings and it didn't work out. Thought it was worth it at the time though, I thought +115 was a good price at home for the way they've played the majority of the series. It ended up not mattering too much cause the Angels choked late anyways, though the Houston parlay would have been nice. Then the Yankees didn't do bad they just couldn't get runners home in the couple good chances they had. Time for a good day, though!

Going to attempt to start the way off with a bang. Didn't get the best number here but I still think it's a bit low for The Jays. Braves bats seem a bit stale at the moment and J Upton is out of the starting line up. Toronto is starting to play better, meanwhile. Malholm also has something to prove to me as far as being able to consistently put in good starts against strong hitting teams on the road. Will have more plays added in the afternoon. I'll just add them here though, I won't make a new post. But for those interested they will be up by 2 or 3 ET for sure. Have a good one, everybody, and GL.

Well the Cardinals bringing in Boggs for no penetrating reason last night with a rookie starting pitcher trying to get his 1st win ever was definitely pretty shitty. Muhica has been perfect and Boggs has been shit, and they Bring in Boggs to try and "help his confidence" even though I doubt any Cardinals fan gives a shit about Mitchell Boggs' confidence. lol. Plus they were only able to get 2 runs off of 8 hits. Well I definitely need a good day, I'll add up the last 3 or 4 days to my overall year after tonight.

Small losses yesterday. Kluber was looking great for the Indians and then the pitcher that starts after the long rain delay got roughed up bad. Nothing I can do about that. And of course I had to have a usual 9th inning loss as the Tigers blew a 5-3 lead. Hopefully I can finally get it turned around today...I'll have do the recap of yesterday later. Will have all my plays added to this post by 5 ET.

-8.62 ytd. If the Yanks and Jays come through that would help alot! Sucks to be down this much after a tough stretch but the past couple days have been good, and things will add up quick whether good or bad when your making bigger plays. Got some new series' coming up this week and some research to do..prolly gonna keep the 2x plays coming and maybe even some 3x or 4x bangers as I feel I have a good read on some teams. Of course it depends on how the beginning of the series' go and the lines that get offered, just pondering on the week that's to come...
