Todays Action, 2009 M.L.B. Thread

[TodaysAction]

Yes, that would be correct. I haven't placed any wagers since February of '08 when I was doing NBA and NCAA basketball. I'm just getting back into the game now. Tomorrow will most likely be my first bet.

Ok, that makes sense. with Wednesday's action.

[Renagade]

ODA Padres 2 @ Giants 3 | 0 outs, Bot 6

[VegasPlayer]

Looks like an overall good night for all so far.
Woke up in time to see the snakes bullpen using the Tampa Bay method of closing games. Too bad, looks like Buckner pitched well.

[oda11]

lol, You guys know how my night ended up with that whole Giants pitching change situation.

That was some expensive lesson. Glad everyone had a good night though.

[TodaysAction]

6-3 on the night but -14.15 units. Like the first part of the statement but not the ending. At least three diamond selections/plays/wagers/your term for today (Wednesday).

[oda11]

This makes me feel worse than losing 50 units. On the other hand, losing about 26 units on the Giants may save me a lot more than that in the future. LESSON LEARNED.

[therber2]

Yankees + Dodgers + Rockies +253 (.5 unit)
Texas GM1 -128 (6 units)
Atlanta -145 (5 units)
Dodgers -150 (2 units)

4-0 +14.265

Tough call on this one. I'm thinking the Indians could take it. Better value there I'd say. Rangers will probably score first with Feldman in and hot bats. Laying off though. Let's see what you've got TA.

Early game thought... TEX @CLE, I was just looking over this game and Feldman (TEX) is 8-0 in his last 8 starts away as well as 12-2 away for the season. He leads the AL in Win% with .789 ... He may not be able to put it together at home, but when he's on the road he plays real strong.

Match that with the way the Ranger bats are rocking, I think they are really pumped to be putting themselves back in the hunt, todays win would be just the icing on the cake. Having said all that, I've got to go:

TEX @CLE : TEX -145 3.5u

Boss leaves - time to post.

I have this Tribe feeling as well... here's an interesting stat about 12:05 games with the Tribe.

This start in Cleveland has occurred five (5) times this season and has produced the following results:

KC vs. Tribe = Tribe/Under
CWS vs. Tribe = Tribe/Under
TB vs. Tribe = Tribe/Under
Minn vs. Tribe = Tribe/Under
Tex vs. Tribe = Rangers/Under
Today - Tex vs.Tribe = ? / ?

Makes you think.

[$KARMA$]

Vegas, where are you getting the Jays RL @ +130?

[VegasPlayer]

My bad. Looked at Yanks by mistake. Should be +105. I will fix. Thanks and Good Morning.

I know the stats there look great, but if you look closely there's a lot of luck involved,IMO. Not saying he's a bad pitcher... just that people in general are overvaluing him. That perfect record and road record, is mostly based on the fact his team gave him runs when needed. On the opposite end you have a pitcher that everyone hates, but since getting back into MLB he's been as great at home. Look at his last 5 home starts.

Good morning, Sir.

No worries Vegas, I wasn't trying to call you out. I just wanted to know where I was missing this smoking deal. I'm still looking at this game, will post my thoughts soon. Doc and Jays are in turmoil right now, so you don't know what you gonna get, but the good news is that Doc says he found his slider.

[VegasPlayer]

Yea, 1 hitting the Yanks aint chopped liver.

[oda11]

Good morning everyone,

I am feeling a little experiential today Debating if I should just put 1 unit on every dog except Cubs, Dbacks, Giants, Phillies, and Rangers.

[VegasPlayer]

I'd stay off the Rays & the Braves too. I'm still smarting from those AAA wannabes.

I see where you are coming from, but I don't attribute 1 ER in the last 3 starts away as really luck, I'm more impressed by the 7 IP in TB with 0 ER. I really see him giving 7IP of strong ball him allowing no more than 2-3 runs. I'm willing to bet on the Rangers bats taking care of the rest. I honestly don't give Carmona much respect either, guess we'll see in about an hour!

ODA...my man! My heart sank for you when I saw that Giants score this morning. It was still 3-2 when I fell asleep. New day, right? Let's clean up today.

I understand why you see the value and I don't blame you. Good luck today.. I am still undecided. Under is starting to look good.

Really interesting thought there Karma. Another question is whether or not there was some player factor for the team due to either an upset or revenge. I think many of us have thought the same thing: does day game or night game affect a specific team's performance? I'd try correlate the above though with home/away and upset or streak, etc.

Could I ask you what resource(s) you used to find the results above? It is always a pain for me to figure out what time a previous game was.

Thank you, trust me, my jaw dropped, my heart sank, and my eyeballs popped last night. Today is a new day. I am trying to just pick 3 games I like the most and pound it. Mostly looking at Cubs, Phillies, and you-broke-my-heart Giants. Still want to do my dog experiment of course.

Good luck today.

Another thought there that I agree with. Most of the time I try to take advantage of a line jacked up with an overrated pitcher in. Not saying Feldman is overrated in this case; however, I'd put the Indians long term abilities, line value, and verge of getting swept into account here for the lean. Look at any recent stats, and the Rangers are out performing the Indians. So coin toss for me. Waiting on TA's thoughts here.

Good morning everyone,

May not be the worst plan I've ever heard of, but what are the grounds oda. I would wager that you might come out on top, but I wouldn't recommend this. GL
