With only 7 games today, but a few 3 game series starting, I started thinking about my picks for this week yesterday.
I am too late for Boston already. The one obvious pick for today is OAK-NYY with NYY as a money line pick
Now lets look at 5 other possible picks... ATL-WAS On one hand, ATL are favorite in pitching department, and also WAS are 1-11. However, baseball is very mathematical game, and WAS may be overdue for a few wins. Will they sweep the series? Probably not. However, I think I should bet on them only if I want to chase the 3 game series. COL-ARI The only thing that interests me in this game is a pitchers mismatch in terms of runs and record, but at a closer look, its not that big. However, I got a trial version of baseball predicting software, and it says that COL will win. I think so too, but the software is 1-5 in the past 3 days. FLA-PIT FLA is 11-1 and are probably overdue for a couple of losses. I wouldn't give an significant edge to anyone in pitching dept. The only reason to bet on this today is to chase a 3 game series. Another possible bet on this game is an OVER bet. SD-PHI Not interested in ML bet. Maybe an OVER bet? CIN-HOU Last game of the series, not interested one bit.
This leaves us with 4 possible bets: ATL-WAS ATL Chase 1.73 FLA-PIT FLA Chase 1.85 or Over 9 1.91 COL-ARI COL??? 2.06 SD-PHI Over 10 ???
This leaves us with 4 possible choices. 1. ATL-WAS ATL Chase 1.73 2. FLA-PIT FLA Chase 1.85 3. FLA-PIT Over 9 1.91 4. COL-ARI COL 2.06
I would like to pick 2 more. But after looking at all of them, I want to make all 4
