Good luck man.

I liked Pittsburgh as well, but again, not at that price.

You are probably better off. Morton is having his usual first inning control issues.

KC +147 (1U to win 1.47)

D'Bags rained out when leading, Red Sox lose 1-0 in the bottom of the 9th.

Yeah, sounds about right.

Tailed your zona play and was disappointed to see it get rained out as well. Tried getting toronto locked in but didn't have enough time. Tailed BP on his $600 play on TB. Must say, I hated that Boston / TB game completely. Too many chances for both sides never any results.

I am amazed by how bad both teams are.

Solid effort by the Royals tonight.

Favorites going to go 11-3 today.

**No coincidences** · 05-23-14, 11:22 PM

This team is a damn trainwreck at the plate. Seriously.

**TankHankerous** · 05-23-14, 11:24 PM

Damn, no wonder I always hated the jocks in high school....

They have just completely given up at the plate. It looks like they're just trying to get the game done.

**No coincidences** · 05-23-14, 11:59 PM

What is it about the west coast that always brings out the worst in these teams.

Some of the worst at-bats I've seen all season. That total sure wound up being sharp....

**No coincidences** · 05-24-14, 12:03 AM

Royals' 2-9 hitters were a combined 2 for 28.

That's no exaggeration, folks.

**Cappinpicks** · 05-24-14, 12:23 AM

Their best hitter Fatty butler is known for killing innings with Clutch DP's

He is awful.

I see they finally sent that ape Moustakas to the minors, too.

In 40 games this season, Moustakas was hitting .152 (19-for-125) with a .543 OPS. He was batting .109 (6-for-55) at Kauffman Stadium.

Man, this organization really knows how to pick 'em.

**Cappinpicks** · 05-24-14, 01:31 AM

LOL .150 for their stud out of spring training... this team just sucks hairy ballsack year after year

Makes no sense how yr after yr they manage to get worse and loook even more lost, id fire everyone..

**2daBank** · 05-24-14, 01:59 AM

Like tribe in the early start gm. For most his career (give or take a season) ubaldo has managed to be even more erratic during the day, like the way tribe coming on, and kluber rock solid imo..I got no problem taking plus money here...

**ItsMeMrMattE** · 05-24-14, 02:16 AM

2daBank did you hit the CIN RL today?

No was still fuming from waking up fri morning and seeing dbags managed to lose that game so took the night off, lol...just starting on saturdays card so havnt gotten to tonight gm yet, if memory serves me right cingrani was really tough on cards last yr.

ya im leaning CIN so far, gonna wait closer to game time tho. been doing alright so far this month in mlb but it seems like line closers have been killing me compared to where i got my wager in at. and your right cingrani has given them problems in the past. CIN won 6-2 when he started at home in his most recent start against them last year. granted tho the line was much more in favor of CIN at the time. not to mention STL hasnt been doins so well verse lefties this year.

ya im leaning CIN again tomorrow but waiting closer to game time. been doing alright in mlb so far this month, just the closing line numbers have been killing be compared to what ive got it in at, for the most part. and ya your right cingrani beat them 6-2 in the last start he had against them with CIN at home.

Cards havnt did so well vs lefties since the bush administration! Seriously, a lot of the names have changed but for whatever reason this been going on foreva.. weirdest thing is the shittier the lefty the worse they are, they actually hit kershaw pretty decently, makes no sense. honestly cingrani outta be the kind of lefty they can hit since he throws such a high percentage of fastballs but in his small sample no1 besides carpenter has had much success. On the other hand while trusting jamie is not something im thrilled about doing he has pitched really well vs cincy in his career, only problem is the majority of those starts were at home and dude been a headcase on the road his whole career, no way to know if that has changed. Cards dont lose series to reds very often (like maybe 2 of last 11, dont quote me on that but it somethin crazy), kinda lean under will prob pass on a side, guess could chase cards cause dont believe they will get swept..

**2daBank** · 05-24-14, 04:03 AM

Call me crazy but kinda like mil/fla un8, who cares if both teams mashing the ball! Lol

Bank, thoughts on sox/rays? Thinking either rays or team total over 3.5 as peavy has been getting hit

**mikmik** · 05-24-14, 07:42 AM

Like Rockies, Cards, Nats, Royals, rays, Phillies over, Jays, . Marlins. What you guys think?

**t-bone** · 05-24-14, 08:22 AM

I need someone to talk me out of Texas today. Porcello's numbers are a fvckin joke.

How do you figure Porcello's numbers are a joke? 2.91 1.01 and .238 are damn good and backed up by 3.19 FIP. .266 BABIP suggests he's getting a little lucky but it's not awful. He's been getting progressively better over the past couple of years.

One thing that does concern me is Porcello's velocity is down this year, but evidently that's working for him. Choo and Beltre do smack him around at well over .300. No way am I backing Tigers at -175 but on the other hand Martinez has a lot of prove, being a 23 yr old pitcher who spent most of last season at A level.

Would be a sweet cash if Martinez can repeat the successes he's had in his 3 MLB starts this year against strong hitting clubs, Oakland twice and most recently Toronto. Heh at +160 I might hop on Texas and roll the dice.

Agree. Time to clean house. Enough is enough. They obviously aren't getting any better -- especially Butler, Moustakas and even Hosmer. Even Gordon to a certain extent. He's good, but not nearly as good as advertised.

Porcello is definitely pitching above his head, but he's also been a perennial underachiever, so the truth lies somewhere in the middle. I'm sure a regression is coming, and I agree that it's insane he's favored like that. He was actually a higher-rated prospect than Verlander coming up and he's still only 25. Typical sinkerball pitcher who took a while to get things figured out. -180/-190 is crazy, though.

Both of those teams are hot garbage.

Agree -- just wish I'd gotten a better # than what's available now.

Also lean Toronto.
