I had Houston last night too NC and if there was any way of knowing that Fields and Qualls were BOTH going to pitch last night I would have stayed far, far away from the astros. Its brutal watching teams give up leads.

i know you arent a totals guy NC, but what do the rest of you guys think about Pitt/AZ over 8.5? Volquez and Nuno I see about 6 runs there and the terrible bullpen of AZ should be able to provide the rest.

I see both pitchers as below average, but you have two above average catchers, you have an under ump, roof is closed in 'zona, and so far Goldy is out for AZ. Both pens are slightly taxed, but nobody of importance will be resting today. Pitt's 2-4 hitters can crush lefties, but the rest of their lineup should be pretty weak against Nuno. Watson and Wilson should both hopefully see action tonight which means all but Trumbo and Hill will be below average (exception being the inevitable pinch hit by goldy).

Looking past the starters, I see a ton that points to the under.

I had a good night last night but it was just dumb luck.

Seattle and over
Reds
Angels

All cashed and it was lucky. That's how bases has been for me this year. Lose in gut wrenching fashion or win by pure luck. It seems like little skill has been involved.

What are we doing tonight boys?

I lean towards Arizona to win this game. Goldschmidt being out is what is holding me out

Coin you passing on the 7 o'clock games? TB looks like a good play

Sixla · 08-01-14, 06:02 PM

Thx for dropping those plays Hoosier!

Good luck, Ex. Why won't Pinny drop the PIT/ARI total from 9?

Still considering the Pads and D'Backs later.

Adding one more unit to Houston.

RavensFan2k3 · 08-01-14, 08:22 PM

Why SD? I think ATL rolls

Tommy Karate · 08-01-14, 08:28 PM

any reason la moved from 200 to 150?

verlander did the same shit last year....
his velocity is down another mph, but he still has 4 solid pitches...

remember his game vs oak last postseason? he'll be there when it counts...

5-2, +6.05U last night

Finally decide to back Waino and he blows up in his biggest start of the year so far. Ugh.

Sorry I didn't get back to you on this. I was out with family stuff.

Minor is awful and Atlanta is in really bad form right now. They just aren't very good. Any team with BJU as your leadoff hitter is going to have serious issues at times. Washington is the biggest choke team in the world if they don't run away with that division.

Thankfully, the line move didn't end up being trouble. That Hendricks kid is pretty legit. I've watched him pitch three times now, and he's got a live arm. Haren is one of the biggest bums in baseball now.

KC +1.5 -125 (2.5U to win 2)
KC +185 (1U to win 1.85)
COL +1.5 +108 (1U to win 1.08)

Looking at Texas, San Diego, St. Louis and Arizona maybe later.

That was nothing short of a total abomination.

Why is Kirk Gibson still around?

Adding a unit to the Rockies +1.5.

RavensFan2k3 · 08-02-14, 09:43 AM

Good calls last night. I was on Arizona, which gave me a heart attack last night. Just watching my money burn, hit after hit in 2 innings. I dont think I can back them today, may even play Pitt

You could probably get the KC FF +.5 at +120 somewhere.

Get him next game.

MIA -112 (4.48U to win 4)

Weird line of the night. Eovaldi's been awful lately. Marlins have dropped two straight and been screwed in both games. I'm riding with the books here. No reason for the Fish to be favored.

Gl on fish, got a small play on them. No love for the Mariners? The few times Paxton has pitched on the MLB level he has been really good.

GT21Megatron · 08-02-14, 01:03 PM

Like Brewers and Giants....lean on Red Sox and probably go ahead and fade Lester. A's are in deep shit dumping the one consistantly power bat in that lineup

I like Giants too, as well as Marlins. initially leaned Redsox, but slow shifted towards Yankees.

Is Cespedes in the lineup today? I think the Red Sox got the better end of the deal to be honest. Red Sox gonna go on a run

Im likely going to fade Masterson in his debut here.

Cespedes is playing, hitting cleanup. I'd lean RedSox as well.

Like Paxton, but hard to gauge him coming off the long layoff.

Again, not crazy about the price dump in favor of the Royals. Way too much movement.

BigDofBA · 08-02-14, 02:47 PM

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.
