Trippin Totals, Some on Sides

[RollinDo]

Starting this thread for those interested mainly in playing totals...a specialty for me cause I really suck picking sides.

But if you want to chime in with a nice side play (less than -160 juice) feel free!

Thurs. 7/24
Today I like these Unders:

BoSox - Jays (U 8.5)
Mets-Brewers (U 7.5)
SF-Phils (U 7.5)
Balt-Seattle (U 7)
Det-LAA (U 4 - FF)

Sides: SF???

[44 Mag]

What about Houston @ Oakland under 7.5 ??? Boston is now @ 8.

[RollinDo]

Yeah. I fortunately got in BoSox-Jays Under 8.5 last night (12:30).
I will look into the Oakland Under...just didn't pick that one...like you said, too hard to look at every game!

[RollinDo]

Welcome 44Mag!
Hoping to get some good discussion on here.
Overs are kinda welcome too

Liking the Under in the Red Sox game. It did move to 8 now, but De La Rosa has pitched well, although he hasn't been as good away from Fenway. What may be playing into the pitchers' advantage is that neither team has seen them. Bautista and Izturis have seen De La Rosa, but that's it from the Blue Jays, and Strotman has never pitched against the Red Sox. Pitchers advantage? With this being the last game of the series, and an early one at that, I would expect some fatigue here.. maybe a 4-2 type of game..

Total for Giants/Phillies now at 7... Thinking that may be good pick.. Hudson & Hamels capable of shutting it down..

[mgoncalves10]

Phillies struggling, Giants swinging a hot bat.. Howard not in the lineup, although he hasn't been hitting well. But, he tends to do well against Hudson.. With that said, I think this calls for a play on the Giants (ML) .. Surprised to see the Phillies favored here at -125...

[RollinDo]

I agree with both the Under (buying half run) and Giants ML (small)...love betting on hot teams.

[RollinDo]

Basically tailing some guys who think Under in NYY game will hit.
Just seems total is a run high...not that I see this a pitcher's duel.

[mgoncalves10]

Here's what I got so far:

Red Sox - Jays (U8)
Giants - Phillies (U7)
Yankees (RL)
Giants (ML)

Parlay: Yankees (ML), Red Sox (+1.5), Giants (+1.5)

[RollinDo]

Problem with Oakland Under is that Feldman (and whoever else after him) could easily get lit up by Oakland's O.
I can see them pounding out 5+ runs.
Samardjia was used to little run support with Chi Cubs but don't think that will necessary translate to Oakland.
Feldman has been horrible at Oakland stadium...and not so good in career vs A's.

[RollinDo]

I will take Yanks & SF +1.5 Parlay

[bluetooth3]

I like the Jays/Red Sox u8 (current line). Should have hooked it last night at 8.5. I do like how the public evened out on the side here. Only think that worries me is if I have jumped on the U train too late

I really really like the U8.5 in the yankee game. Mccarthy has thrown the ball well and will keep the ball down. Texas and NYY do not have a line up that really screams runs. I also think that after getting all of the negative press, Colby will come out with a chip on his shoulder because he knows this game will be watched. He will come out throwing a good game

I wont be touching the Giants total. Still sits at 7 with 89% on the U. Looks like pitchers duel here but that's what worries me. If I were to play anything it would be the Phillies. Opened at -115 and now up to -128 with only 33% of the action on them. Smells like Philly win here.

All I got for the morning games, will chime in later for the later games

Thoughts on Det. @ LAA??? Two tough pitchers going at it. The Detroit bullpen is always scary though???

Good insight. TX

[44 Mag]

I need to look at TT's , just haven't had time yet.

u7.5 Indians vs Royal-Both teams flying in from road day games yesterday. Duffy has been tough lately only allowing 7 ER in his last 4. He will go 6 quality innings tonight and allow 2 runs. He also gets 0 run support. Hosmer was taken out yesterday for a PH, he might not be good to go tonight. Kluber for the Indians is a solid pitcher. He has allowed 8 ER in his last 5. Dont see how 8 runs are scored tonight. Weather calls for high 70's.

Marlins +135-Fade Harang. Marlins have actually played better then the Braves in this series. Yesterday was bound to happen. Marlins steal one today with the better pitcher on the bump.

u8 Oakland vs Astros-This line jumped up to 8. Love to take the extra .5 run and play the under in this spot. Books looking for action on the over with the Astros. It all comes down to Feldman. I believe Jeff will allow 0-1 runs. But can Oakland get 7? With Jeff on the hill, they understand that only a few runs may be enough. The need to bang out a ton of runs wont be there. Teams get into that habit of knowing that their "ace" is on the hill and they wont need 7+ runs. Play on the under here looks solid

All I have for now

[RollinDo]

BlueTooth3 - thanks for the insight
I initially liked the Under in KC before looking at the rosters vs starters, who have hit the opposing pitchers pretty hard.
I suddenly like the Under in Oakland seeing your logic and the fact that Mag brought it up earlier.
Will ponder some more, but kinda like this one.

[mgoncalves10]

That total for the Athletics looks like a coin toss. Samardzija has given up 12 runs against the Astros in 30IP since 2011. Feldman on the other hand has had all sorts of trouble against the Athletics, as well as at the Coliseum. I'm debating on taking the Athletics RL at -130, but no Cespedes in the lineup. But then again, with an ace on the mound for the home side and Feldman on the mound for the Astros, is the -130 RL worth the gamble?

I may also take Houston TT U3...

[RollinDo]

I like the Hou TT U 3, but if it ends up 4-3 Oakland, will not be happy.
I think the Under may be ok as long as Feldman holds his own...and he has lately on the road...hopefully he has amnesia for all the trouble he's had in Oak.

[RollinDo]

Will actually get to watch some of game on mlb.tv!
Will be my 5th game I've seen this season! All have NOT gone Over either.

[mgoncalves10]

I took:

Athletics RL
Athletics FF
Astros U3

[RollinDo]

Dang. I should have taken RL for Oak too.
I just suck at sides.
Hoping to go 4-0 on early Unders.

[RollinDo]

Our Unders posted in here have gone 3-0 so far...Oak Under 8 good so far.
Mets-Brewers U 7.5 next up

[mgoncalves10]

There's the Feldman we know.. A 3 spot.. I'll be content with a 3-0 finish. We will all hit!

Share your thoughts for tonight. I'm going to take a look at some action right now.

[RollinDo]

Under 7 in Seattle
Under 4 - FF in LAA game

Maybe Tigers FF?
Twins?
Just throwing darts with sides

[bluetooth3]

That KC line dropped to 7. I hooked in the u7.5.

Marlins steal one.

Cubs opened as a fav. Now a dog of +120. Nearly 30 cent move off the line. Fading those big movements had been the right side. Not a Jackson fan but the padres are still the padres. 76% on the padres. No way

Royals -105- slight dog to fav. Strong play if you can't get the u7.5

[RollinDo]

Not too confident in this Oak Under.

Like the Mets-Brewers Under 7.5

[inZane]

Just saw this thread, great idea... Once again, the early games on getaway day turned a profit,2-0-1. Just like yesterday,4-1-1. Pay attention to this shit gentlemen. The next chance will be Sunday morning. Obviously, it's not a lock, but look long and hard before you put in an over play in this time frame. If you can, play 'em the night before while the #'s are in your favor. Bol to all...

Thanks Zaney! Will do

[mgoncalves10]

I see some people saying to take the Mets, but Gee hasn't posted great numbers against the Brew Crew.. Garza coming off a very bad outing.. Meanhile, Gee gave up 4ER in 5 innings against the Padres.. If anything, I think this game could go over the 8 run total.. And I think the Brewers are the play here...

Brewers ML -148
