2016 MLB Plays - the year before the year of the cubbies

[jeffchitown]

I will track all my plays for the season in this thread.
Here we go:
Cardinals +110. Adam wainright has won the last 2 years as opening day pitcher allowing 0 runs. The pirates and cardinals both slightly weaker this year. But cardinals have a healthy matt holiday and adam wainright. Pirates lost alvarez who statistically did very well against cardinals. Today is very cold in Pittsburgh. It has shown through data analysis that cold weather usually favors the pitcher. They tend to throw more strikeouts. The wind at the stadium is blowing out today which should help make up for the cold weather. I think both pitchers have an ok day but wainwright the victor. Cardinals 4 to 3.

1h cardinals +110

Blue jays -110

Royals game TOTAL o7½-110

Royals +110

1h royals +120

[jeffchitown]

Lol apparently my picks may be good fade material based on seeing everyone elses picks on the forum almost all the opposite of mine.

[jeffchitown]

Cardinals had many opportunties to bring in some runs and failed each time. At least the blue jays won even with a 9 inning scare and i actually did under in cardinals game forgot to post it even though my predicted score was 1 run over. I had a feeling id be wrong and less scoring. Lets finish the day strong with the royals.

I have the Jays and KC. KC 1h, Over 4 and also over for the game 7.5. Let's get it.

4/3 game
San diego padres +160... I think this game is worth the value at this line. The dodgers are pretty banged up now. Kershaw is an amazing pitcher but i still think padres can win it. I bet $10 on it to win $16 ... I'm also tempted to take angels +120 vs cubs. I love my cubbies but arieta is dealing with a blister on his finger which can mess with his throwing. I haven't pulled the trigger on that game still making up my mind.

Added live bet royals/mets over 5.5 -110 $10

I'd actually agree with you here with the Dodgers fade if not for it being Kershaw but the Padres are terrible. There is much better value to be had tomorrow I think but I'm not on this one so I hope you win it!

I reviewed cubs game. They will probably win the game but I'm not paying -140.

Here are my picks for monday 4/3:

Minnesota twins +120 $20 to win $24. The twins i think will be pretty good this year and the pitcher matchup is a no brainer. Ervin finished the last 7 regular season games hot and preseason he has continued his hot streak against the likes of Toronto, boston red sox, yankees and more. Orioles pitcher is not nearly as good. I do love the orioles hitters though but this pitcher if he pitches the way he has been orioles will have a tough day. I still think orioles get 2 runs on him maybe 3. They add another 2 down the stretch. Twins stack early 7 runs before the 7th but none after. Lol! Fun guessing

Orioles/twins over 8.5 -115 $12 to win 10

San diego padres +160 $10 to win 16

Boston red sox -110 $11 to win $10 - POSTPONED UNTIL TOMORROW 10AM PST

Nationals/Braves over 6.5 +105 $15 to win $15.

Phillies +150 $10 to win $15

Astros -130 $13 to win $10 game postponed

[jeffchitown]

Adding a silly parlay for $5 to win $69.
MINNESOTA TWINS +110
TON NATIONALS -180
TOTAL o6½-125 (WASHINGTON NATIONALS vrs ATLANTA BRAVES)
LA DODGERS -210
CHICAGO CUBS -140

I'm going to try one that has more favorites but lets us hedge on the angels if we hit all the earlier games in the parlay.

[jeffchitown]

Why not adding a hopefully last one for the day

SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS -1½-105 [M. BUMGARNER -L/W. PERALTA -R]

21.00 USD / 20.00 USD

Edit meant to add toronto blue jays
Toronto blue jays EV $10

[jeffchitown]

LOL 2 More... hope I hit 60% of these today. I chose these two because I think the Boston / Cleveland game will be sloppy with errors due to the weather. I think the brewers being a young team will make a lot of mistakes and they have probably the weakest pitcher I think starting today. I'm expecting san fran to get a lot of hits.

Total H+R+E San Fran/ Milwaukee -115 Over 25 $10 to win $8
Total H+R+E Boston / Cleveland -115 Over 23.5 $10 to win $8 was cancelled due to post pone

[jeffchitown]

Addition
Texas rangers/ seattle mariners over 8 -115 $12 to win $10

I think both these pitchers are getting worse as their career continues lol. I'm thinking 10 to 12 runs this game. Small bet.

Yeah but it just means 10 AM pst I assumed it meant PM.

BTW that pick up of over 7 and +250 Texans well I felt like it was about that time something happened in this game. I also was thinking its only 2 runs and just 2 solo home runs. Texans should be able to come back here and worth the risk at +250.

[iloseagain]

Yeah but it just means 10 AM pst I assumed it meant PM.

Ohhhhh i see now.

They aint the Texans btw, thats fooseball haha

11.00 USD / 10.00 USD

[jeffchitown]

I thought about it for a while diamond backs going to wreck colorado. They have a really good squad this year and colorados pitcher isn't that good. I went fairly big for this bet compared to all other bets i've done today.

TOTAL o4-135 (DBACKS TOTAL RUNS vrs DBACKS TOTAL RUNS) [Action]

34.00 USD / 25.00 USD

[jeffchitown]

I would of had a wonderful day today had I not bet basketball and I did a play on MLB I didn't post another user posted then deleted his post. He posted zona / sox parlay and what do I do put $60 on it lol! I wasn't thinking straight was focused on dinner and UNC Villanova game to think clearly about it. I do remember my initial reaction was I should swap arizona for the cubs but then I'm like well the line has to be much worse for arizona for a reason compared to the cubs line. I felt I should play the safer of the two. So due to that bet and losing about $40 in basketball I only made a tiny gain for the day.

Today's Summary(Bets posted in thread): $105

Total o-4 DBACKs $25
Total HRE o25 Colorado/Dbacks - $10
Blue Jays +1 run Live Bet - $10
Some reason I must not of confirmed the bet because it is not in my history anymore. Weird.

Parlay SanFran,Nationals, Cubs, 1H LA Dodgers,Boston Red Sox $57

Total Record Not Including Parlays
15-9 62.5%

Total Parlay Record
1-1 50%

If we include my tail of a parlay today with zona/white sox for $60 I only gained via baseball betting today $45. I then lost about another $42 in ncaab and end up +$3 for the day lol. So note to self don't bet big on other peoples tails unless I've actually spent a decent time thinking it over. I placed that $60 parlay impatiently without considering other options that would of been a better play if I was going to drop $60 on one bet. I should of only dropped $20 on that bet based on how I was betting all day.

A local bookie lines are usually updated slower then public. So if Bovada or whereever was getting pounded and jumped to 25.5 most likely i got mine locked in before it jumped.

Adding this play and i love it. I think both pitchers do a great job in this game.
