MLB - Friday, 8/5/16

[LT Profits]

I played Miami before I saw you were on it but I'm no so confident in it. How do you rate both starting pitchers?

Also how do you rate Redsox starter and Dodgers starter

Phelps is right at average while De La Rosa is below average and had a recent downgrade

Kazmir safely above average and Wright below average. Wright is also on my prime fade list the rest of the way along with Martin Perez.

You have Steven Wright at below average? Wow. De La Rosa has had a recent downgrade? How? These past two months are the best I've ever seen him pitch

Have you been paying attention? I have been down on Wright all year and it looks like he is in the midst of his regression his last 7 starts except for one outing vs. the Twins.

I had De La Rosa overrated for too long and he now has just 11 strikeouts vs. 8 walks in 22.1 innings his last 4 starts.

[funnyb25]

How do you feel about Giants +151? lol

[funnyb25]

or Mets +122?

[funnyb25]

Pirates Under 8 -105 ok?

I guess I haven't. Also why are Yankees a play today? Can't find a single reason to back them tonight. Also buying out of Miami bet and taking Colorado

[funnyb25]

These line moving VERY heavily against LT today...be very cautious today...BOL

Yankees are a sabermetric player's wet dream tonight.

Tomlin has the worst ERA vs. FIP variance in the Major Leagues, Pineda has the second best.

Mets +109 (Heritage)
Mets +110 (5 innings) (Heritage)
Rangers / Astros UNDER 8.5 -120 (5 Dimes)

I can't see the reasoning on the Mets. Okay it's Syndergaard but he's going against Verlander. And the way the Tigers can put up runs, I guess you're hoping they scratch a run or two out before the Tigers bats get hot on that first half. The way I see it, Detroit continues its roll. The rest of the picks are solid as usual.


Good Luck!

[RavensFan2k3]

Let's go Mets!

[RavensFan2k3]

Great call with Yankees

[Stackzilla]

Perez ground ball/fly ball ratio is sick gonna see a lot of grounders

[funnyb25]

Why is the dbacks brew total only 9.5? They might each score 10 runs themselves...i dont get it...1-0 final

[mohye1980]

Why would this stupid system spit out the Giants and the mets today? Shit needs to go man.

funny thing is...line moved WAY against him on Mets, so he bet them again..doesn't make any sense

[mohye1980]

Yah bet against the hottest team in the league against a team with a shittty lineup. Pitching matchup slight advantage to mets. Both pens are garbage. Mets could still win but it's a stupid bet. But that's the regular in here.

Pitching matchup definitely favored Tigers..Synd is trash on the road...LT's model doesn't factor road home starts though..

Let's give him benefit of doubt on that and call it a wash. Offense different story. Tigers are infinitely better then the mets offensively.

[funnyb25]

Martin Perez...lol

[Stackzilla]

I took a shot, hoping the bullpen blows it again for Kuechel

Rangers +1100?

[Stackzilla]

This is the same Kuechel who gave up a grand slam in the 1st his last start right? So yea I took a shot.

[funnyb25]

3-5 not the end of the world...on to tomorrow...no "bad beats" involved today...

[mohye1980]

3-5 not the end of the world...on to tomorrow

If you won more than you loss this would be an accurate statement. When 3-5 is your best day in a while. It's time to change something up. Take a day off let the shitty old system take a break.

Just know Wright is on fade alert the rest of the season....LT is 0-3 since that statement 3 starts ago...

[funnyb25]

under in Rays is a play tomorrow...

[Slanina]

Great to see a 9th inning go your way for once.

[LT Profits]

4-4

Not true because I did not fade him all 3 starts. But the statement stands, Wright has to lose that rabbit's foot eventually. Up to the second, dude is carrying a 3.01 ERA with a 4.38 xFIP.
