Fish, Giants and Rockies +1.5 might be it for me tonight. I don't see much else that I like.

I do think the Twins beat the White Sox, but after all of their recent debacles (seems like they blow a lead late in every game), I just can't trust them. Anyone laying juice with Carroll vs. anyone is crazy, though.

I also still lean D'Bags, Cards and Pads too, but not sure enough to make an actual play.

[RavensFan2k3]

Fish, Giants, Rays and Redsox were my fav plays of the day. Ended up not playing Redsox and am kicking myself for it now, I hope Fish and Giants come through for us.

Wow. KC is blowing some big opportunities.

Wow. KC is blowing some big opportunities.

Pretty typical. Not sure if the stats match it, but they're one of the worst teams I've seen this year with RISP.

[BigDofBA]

Every time I watch KC play Billy Butler kills them.

Horrible approaches at the plate and bad defense.

I knew it re: the Royals.

Just knew it.

He is awful. Just plain awful.

Typical Oakland rally: flare, bloop, luck, flare, bloop, luck....

[BigDofBA]

As horrible as KC is with runners in scoring position Oakland is unreal.

No hits half the game, then Butler whiffs on a routine pop up and now Oakland hitters are hitting everything, everything is dropping, bunt hits etc.

[BigDofBA]

Error on KC.....If Butler catches that pop up. This entire inning may not have happened.

I fvcking hate the A's. It's like they have a permanent horseshoe stuck up their ass.

Oh well -- at least I can brag about beating the closer by 30 cents.

[Simon Gruber]

Wow....

[No coincidences]

Butler and Moustakas shouldn't even be in baseball. They are killing the Royals.

[BadLuckSanta]

Coin you should know by now that kind of line movement doesn't end in same result on back to back days.

I like the fish tonight as well. Gonna check into the giants.

Oakland doesn't beat themselves and capitalizes on mistakes. You see them work counts and bunt people over and when guys are in scoring position they find a way.

They don't have all the talent in the world but they're coached well.

Ned Yost and Kirk Gibson are the two worst managers in baseball. Hands down.

The Royals play like they have no direction and no sense of urgency. A better manager/coaching staff would work wonders with this team, but they'd also have to get rid of Butler and Moustakas, who are habitual losers.

Lol at luck, A's keep winning game after game, yet NC thinks otherwise...

Dude, this team has never won anything when it matters most. Billy Beane is 0 for his life in the playoffs. We'll see what happens when the clock strikes midnight in October -- as per usual. They are not this good. Period. Never have been, never will be.

Unfortunately, I made the bet before the movement. Should've bought out when I saw it move as much as it did, but I decided to stay put and will pay the price accordingly.

[BigDofBA]

I think I'm going to have to fade this line movement on the As game.

I'll take Oakland -1 (-119). Considering the over as well. Just one unit each.

It looks like a lot of people are jumping on the Royals now but I've seen this backfire all year long.

GL with your card tonight coin.

It took me like three months to finally quit being stubborn on these types of movements. I got killed earlier in the year when I killed the closer.


I like the fish tonight with you.

Exactly. It's all a bullshit rouse for lemmings who either used to succeed with that line of thinking or want to quantify something that is simply not there.

Not much playoff experience for them recently anyways...

Guys, more than half season gone and you still talk/get buried about/with the same shit line movement bs every day...???

[No coincidences]

They've won ONE playoff series since Beane took over in 1998.

One.

And that's with TEN regular seasons of 87 wins or more.

Beane's teams make the Braves and Buffalo Bills look like postseason dynasties.

Yep. I've been "getting buried."

[leetreaper]

Just stop with line moves bs, it's embarrassing...Otherwise, another solid season, good job.

I'm saying line movement means absolutely nothing, and that big/obvious line movement should be faded. Are you disagreeing with that?

[Simon Gruber]

Done with the Royals and Dbacks until their GMs and managers are fired.

Like i said I decided to track those big moves a month ago for fun and it came out around 55-45 so no real advantage...

I have a question about that...is there any reason why you keep reiterating it though? Just wondering because it's like you go out your way each day to prove it. I dont mean any disrespect by the question, I'm just wondering.

BOS live +250 (1U to win 2.5)

Because there are plenty of reputable posters at SBR who peddle that shit like it's legitimate, and I don't like to see other posters and people who are new to this game getting fleeced.
