RollinDo's Last Ride (2015 mlb season)

[RollinDo]

Yes, another likely futile attempt to keep a thread in mlb.
2nd season in a row this has happened.
Frankly I struggle with mlb compared to nhl and college hoops....even nba.

I lost 21 units 1H of mlb season.
So far up 1.5 U in 2H.

So here we gooooo....

Mon. 7/27
Leans (likely to play top 3):

Zona - TB (U 7.5)
D'backs bats have gone south for a week and a half now. M's have been hitting better, but it was in series vs Jays and lots of those series see high totals. Robbie Ray has been very good...both home/away. Now for whatever reason, every time I play a Zona Under they hit like crazy. But I'll go with the trend of them not producing runs...especially seeing a new face in Montgomery.

Cards ML
Quite a bit of juice, but the pitching match-up is definitely a reason why. Add to fact the recent history of Cards owning Reds, and Cards seem to get the 1st game of nearly every home series. The game will likely be close...possibly even 1 run. Coming off a loss, I look for Cards to take this one.

Brewers TT (U 3.5)
Heston has been super at home...and even on the road lately.
Brewers are in a hitting funk. Giants been winning and when they are in a groove, tough to stop.
I don't trust Lohse, but every once in a while he comes up with a nice game, but he's not nearly as good on the road. I don't like the ML at -170 so I'll take a chance that Brewers stay under 4 runs at a much lower price.

2 other leans:
KC ML or +1...just scares me looking at Volquez' horrid numbers vs Tribe, but KC hitting and Cleveland not at all.

ChiSox - Red Sox (U 9)...just think it's too high...I see a 5-3 or 4-3 score.

[BOA12]

Hit BOS Series bet to stay alive. my leans AZ+1.5 TBO7 STL ml SF ml BOSO9 afraid OF KC here waiting for line shift to possibly take CLE+1.5 and like COL+1.5 against a fading cub team bol rollin playing 2 $10 pars with last 25 keep the faith

[RollinDo]

I like TB (O 7) too..
Not sure why total that low.
I like Giants and hate that the Brewers TT is set at 3.
They may win 5-3 or 4-3 and then it's a push.
Maybe I take Giants ML and Under 8?

Great job with these, Rollin. Hey, we lost a ton of units in the first half. I was down almost seventeen units, by far worst I have ever done. Then I switched to faves two weeks ago, have turned a 17 unit deficit to 8 units. You have to be flexible in baseball. You have to have good money management and not be afraid to use a copious amount of drugs. And grind, grind, grind.

That's baseball. I love it.

[BOA12]

sf looks strong not sure about total I would play one or the other choose wisely bol rollin do you live in the chicago area?

I do NOT like baseball...at least betting, and I only watch about 2-3 games per season until playoffs.
So being unsuccessful at betting mlb has not been pleasant.
I am terrible with dogs...ok with faves.
Love betting Cards...do alright with Royals, Reds, and Tigers...Giants when streaking!

[RollinDo]

sf looks strong not sure about total I would play one or the other choose wisely bol rollin do you live in the chicago area?

I stuck to my guns and am playing:

Cards (ML) -200
Brewers TT (U 3) -105
AZ - Sea (U 7.5) -120

I like about 6 plays, but need to be more selective this week...3 plays max...I can always bet some with betpoints

[BOA12]

they all look good good things happen in 3's.......great things happen in 4's bol

[RollinDo]

So how do I hedge my StL ML bet for -200?
I saw line moving above 200, and then placed my bet.
It looks like if Cards lose, it will be low scoring...maybe Under 7.5?
Small play on Reds +1?

[ZIPPER HEAD]

Gl today Rollin

[BOA12]

STL U7- might be a good hedge very hard to middle taking cinc +1 choose wisely keep on Rollin DO

[RollinDo]

+2 units yesterday.

2H: +3.5 U

Tues. Picks:

Tigers (ML) -115
Det - TB (U 7) -142
Wash - Mia (U 6.5) +100
Oak - LAD (U 7) -140
KC (+1.5) -200

Why take kc run line when you can get Cleveland ml for -125

[RollinDo]

Why take kc run line when you can get Cleveland ml for -125

Because I don't like Cleveland to win...if they happen to win though, I've got a run to play with.
Tribe has lost how many straight? And they are still faves over a streaking and very good KC team.
I feel I am throwing $ away backing Cleveland at all...Bauer is not good at home anyways and has gotten drilled lately...Young has been solid on the road this season. What's your angle for Cleveland???

Probably passing on this game. Seems like Cleveland has a better chance at winning tonight. Good luck tonight rollin

Based on what? They are due?
GL to you too man. What are your plays? You have a thread?

[BELM0NT]

I think they are due. KC due to cool off also. Just seems like there are more people betting on Cleveland today. I don't feel totally sure about kc so I'm going to pass. I really like twins today. Everything seems to point to them winning. My thread is belmonts picks

[HardCore]

GL RollinDO i had a bad 1H myself and been doing great since the all-star break. I literally closed my thread and see ya for football but i came back and i'm here until football and maybe till oct depends on my mood.

[bluetooth3]

Best of luck today Rollin....Im taking a beating this year...switching up my dogs theory like Mitch did as dogs are getting smacked!

Opposite of ya in the Royals and Tigers game...which is good news for you!!

Best of luck!

Hey BT!
How did you do in college hoops? I checked out your thread from time to time.
Good to know I'm not alone in taking some raps in the nutsack the 1st half.
Thanks for chiming in Hardcore...and for the support!

[RollinDo]

I am due to lose my 1st bet of season with Price on hill.
Last game took M's TT (U 3.5).
Tonight got the Under and Tigers ML.

[RollinDo]

A bit confused that the Under 6.5 has not really budged in LAD game.
Looks pretty sharp from that.
That is probably my 2nd best Under...bought hook at 7.

[mitch51]

I'm talking Houston today. I have always liked McHugh and have cashed tickets with him. I think that Houston can hit Wilson. So Houston is a 100%, STONE COLD GUARANTEED . Lol, as if there ever was such a thing betting baseball.

I just now saw this Mitch!
I will be sure to check out your thread every day...if I can.
I was leaning Stros actually.
If Under stays in tact in LAD game, will gain a unit.
Put too much on Tigers tonight.

[RollinDo]

Will update my plays later...After Oak game...Under looks good so far.

Top 3 leans for Wed.
Pitt - Minn (U 7.5)
Cin - StL (U 7.5)
Oak TT (U 2.5)

Other leans: (likely to play 2)
ChiSox ML
StL ML
AtL TT (U 3)

Possible parlay: AZ - Sea (U 7) / Giants +1.5

SBR likely plays:
KC +1.5
SD - NY Mets (U 7)
KC - Cleveland (U 7.5)

[RollinDo]

Tues. (Provided Under 7 holds in LA)...
+1 U
2H: +4.5 U

[BOA12]

Everyone and their mother on the Under in Seattle, Seattle, and KC.

[RollinDo]

Just in case anyone is tailing (God forbid)...
the Under in Miami likely to be downgraded to a small play or no play.
I like the Under in Toronto better, so that is likely to be 1 of my top 3 plays today.

Over 8 looks like the play here, best guess.
I can see under in Miami.
CWS ML looks good.That kid Wright for Boston has been "bombed" his last two times out.
BOL today.

Why Over?
This may be my Under of the week so far...just crunching all the #'s...just because it's in Toronto doesn't mean they it's going Over every game...the HP ump in Miami is 11-4 to the Over...that's pretty tough to back an Under...he looks like the ump with highest Over % among all of them.
Scherzer has been trash too and Haren (ehhhh)...maybe a small play on Under there...bigger on Toronto Under.

Easy big fella. LOL. Just expressing an opinion. WOW .

Yeah me too...thanks for the input man.
You going Over in Minny?
Looks like a good one there unless Hiluggie has a gem.
