Way to go! (on not playing these). Have been using oddshark for ump stats I'm sure there's something better?

Thanks! My best decision of the day was not adding anything else, because as you correctly note, all of my late leans stunk.

I generally use covers for ump research, but at this point, i have an excel file where i keep notes on umps going back quite a ways, so a lot of my research is in my own notes. Each ump has an "ump factor" that i use as an overlay on my model (same with park factor and weather). I have not used oddshark before but definitely will check it out, so thank you for posting. We have a lot of new umps this year and I'm struggling to get a handle on them. For right now, I have Barber as an over guy and Hoberg as an under guy but rest neutral until i see more.

Sunday weather.

CWS/Rangers the only game with decent chance of rain, and even that looks likely to be played to completion. Could be a salami kind of day...

BOL today. Definitely appreciate the consistent timeliness of your picks, don't see that in a lot of cappers.

Thanks, pal. It helps to be a gigantic nerd...

[BiffTFinancial]

Happy Easter to you and yours Biff

Happy Easter to you and yours too, Rick!

[BiffTFinancial]

Heading out for awhile, back in a few hours. BOL today fellas.

[dunit-19]

Hey Biff just started tailing your plays 2 days ago. Great work so far. But I do have one question, what is Grand Salami.....im lost on that one! Lol

[Jeremylynn]

Grand salami is the total runs scored in all the games played today

[actafoolzz]

Hey Biff just started tailing your plays 2 days ago. Great work so far. But I do have one question, what is Grand Salami.....im lost on that one! Lol

It is the total runs of both home team and away team for today. Under 124' meaning under 124.5 runs for both home and away today.

[Jeremylynn]

Your bookie should offer it. Mine just put it up at 124.5 a minute ago

[Madison]

adding

2* Grand Salami under 124' (-110)

This may be a good sign for the salami I noted a bunch of overs and was going to ask about the over.

[dunit-19]

Thanks guys! Appreciate the feedback! BOL to all.

[Madison]

Any one else having issues typing? I'm using IE browser and I'm losing like every 4th character. Serious pain.

[BoS_010]

GL Biff. I don't often check the forum but when I do I always glance over your thread. Enjoy your Easter as well.

I don't see anything that says Grand Salami there. Perhaps because games already started

[twestacott]

Yes Grand Salami is only available before the first game

[actafoolzz]

this is looking to go 0-4

[Nick Nacho]

this is looking to go 0-4

[SlickRick1382]

How so? Grand Salami looks in tact which makes it 1-3 but since it was a 2 unit play you only lost 1 unit

I spent so much time trying to find the grand salami that I missed it

[TankHankerous]

If my math is correct we need the red sox/orioles game to go under 9 runs to win grand salami under 124.5

[iloseagain]

this is looking to go 0-4

bad days happen. What you whining about?

[Nick Nacho]

Yes Grand Salami is only available before the first game

This Grand Salami has irritated me today. If someone has time, and when its available, could you please take a screen shot of where its at and post it on here?
