Fred your favorite pitcher in the MLB just threw a pitch belt high right down the middle and a Seattle hitter smashed the meatball over the fence.

Unfortunately Seattle isn't pitching tonite though? King Felix already out of the game. Their pen is better then KC's so we'll see?

[Fred The Hammer]

Seattle +2 with bases loaded/1 out. Texas Tech was down 10 early but roared back within 3. I think TT has more scorers too....seems like Va needs Guy to get 18 points or so. If they stay on him then TT gets it done!

Caught a break with KC's manager as well. Bailey barely got thru 5 ip with 4 er. They brought him back out with 90+ to give a HR and 2 more baserunners. That was stupid as hell on their part, but great for us!

[Fred The Hammer]

Mariners offense this year Wow!!!!!!

What got into these guys? Santana is destroying the ball! Why did Milw let him go? Can you imagine him with Yelich?

[Fred The Hammer]

14-7 (+$874)

Lets go Red Raiders!!!

[Fred The Hammer]

Easy winner with the Mariners, but its too bad for Texas Tech. Up 3 with 8 seconds left or whatever. YOU HAVE TO FOUL!! Virginia has been hitting clutch 3s at the end all tournament. You don't give them a 3...PERIOD

[Fred The Hammer]

Adding:

Overnight plays....hopefully you guys can get good lines. I love both these games!!

Tampa Bay (-155) / White Sox $194 to win $125
Oakland/Baltimore Over 9 (-120) Heritage $144 to win $120

Charlie Morton has really gotten better with age! He was great last year and off to a strong start with the Rays with a 1.64 era, 1.00 whip, and .189 batting average allowed. Their pen is rested and they're one of the smartest teams in MLB. The White Sox are going with Ervin Santana in his first start. He's not going to be sharp and he probably won't last long either way. Good value here imo

Last 4 games in Camden have had 12, 10, 18, and 16 runs. That place is tiny. I see more offense here!

In the fade of Homer Bailey we trust.

Adding:

Tampa Bay/White Sox Under 9 (-130) buying .5 run 1st leg of 2 teamer for $75

Watched the game yesterday between these 2 teams and the shadows came in and covered home plate around the 6th inning. Hitters just can't follow the ball coming out of the sun & into the shadows! Only 1 total run scored from the 6th on. It should be more of the same today if the bats start off slow then we're good to go! Tampa's great bullpen is fully rested as well.

[Fred The Hammer]

4-0 Rays already!! I'm irritated though. I knew Santana would be rusty. Rays ML was the play and not the Under. At this point I'd take a push....something like Rays 7-2 or something? I'm afraid its going to be Tampa 10-3 or something.

[Fred The Hammer]

My bad on the Under. Stupid I was pretty sure Santana would be shaky today and they've used their pen so much that they'll probably just let him take a beating? We still make $$ if TB takes care of business.

[spippen]

Well who would've expected the White Sox to get any rubs? The White Sox are a rubbish team.

Am I Nostradamus? Need 10 more outs if they can pull it off?

[Fred The Hammer]

Oh well....still a profit on this game!

15-8 (+$924)

[Fred The Hammer]

Adding:

Dodgers/St. Louis Over 8 (-123) buying .5 run $160 to win $130
Dodgers Over 4.5 (+105) 1st leg of a 2 teamer $50

Cards starter Dakota Hudson is a decent looking young pitcher, but he hasn't started a game since March 30th. This is only his 2nd career start and LA is scoring runs like crazy! His 1st start he gave up 3 er in 4.1 innings. I expect LA to put a hurt on him. Not real big on Ross Stripling either? He has a average 3.92 era on the road in the last 3 years. The ball carries in St. Louis much better then LA.

Lets Get It!!!

strong bats why not!

[2daBank]

Imo doyers are not gonna put a hurting on Hudson!!! Maybe on the pen but I expect him to have a quality outing here. He sports a incredibly “heavy” sinker that should have him producing one of the better ground ball rates in the league. My one concern is doyers have lot of lefty bats and thus far in his short career (not as if he new to the bigs as he got a lot of time out the pen last season) left handed bats have hit him much better than righties who he has dominated.

Certainly not saying the over a bad play, I don’t think much of stripling as a starter, cards offense hasn’t looked great from a runs scored perspective but they are sporting top 5 hard contact rate!! and like I said doyers could very well tag our pen. My only disagreement here is paying the juice to buy the half run. I refuse to pay more than -115 on a total, last season i started actually selling half or whole run to get plus money on majority of my total plays. Worked out incredibly well as the plus money more than negated the games I pushed by selling the hook. Given the choice here I’d absolutely sell it up to over 9 if i was interested in the total. Here’s to cards hanging a big number on the overrated stripling!

We shall see? Hudson has talent, but its his 2nd career start vs a red hot hitting team....plus he hasn't worked in a week? You're prob right about buying .5 run, but I've so many pushes at 8 and 9 in the last few years because of buying .5 run

A's with a Nickel in the top of the 2nd. Overs are just too easy in Camden!

2nd start but he pitched out the pen all second half of last year so don’t think that the same as a kid making truely his second start. Cards have a real good track record grooming kids in the pen a season before becoming a starter. Imo putting them in those high leverage situations their 1st season really benefits them when they become starters the following year/matures them quicker. I have very little doubt he more than ready to make quality big league starts and he certainly has the stuff to succeed. Lad plethora of lefty bats is my one concern but think he will be able to navigate and get righties to hit into dp’s when the lefties do get on. Not saying he gonna dominate but I expect 5-6 innings 3 runs alllowed type performance, which that could very easily be plenty to get the over, doyers prob tack on at least 1 more vs the pen and I think cards are good for 5 minimum tonight. Gl

Far as the buying or selling runs I guess it just a thing where more often than not I’m really right or really wrong so rather have the plus money than pay juice when it rarely that close on my totals! Lol,

[2daBank]

Yadi!!!

[Fred The Hammer]

A's get 5 in the top of the 2nd and nobody has scored since? Could be a rough night?

[2daBank]

Yadi!!

[Fred The Hammer]

Yadi!!

I'll take it from either side. Your boy Hudson got lucky though! 4 hits/3 walks thru 4 but no runs. LA has to pinch-hit for the pitcher there? I know its only the 4th inning, but you're down 3 and the bases are loaded. Cmon?

You say luck, i say that what I meant by “navigating his way thru the lineup”. Lol. That heavy sinker will get him out of lot of bad situations and def will allow him to wipe out walks w double plays. Certainly didn’t expect him to have a easy time, just that he would be able to prevent a lot of runs being put up., dejung made a really nice play that bailed him out. Doyers havnt hit a lot of balls hard tho.

Lot of time bro. Cards pen gonna have to get 12 outs at least. Bummer that 1st yadi double ended up being only 1 run instead of the 2 it initially was before being called ground rule.. doyers will have their shot this next inning w top of order getting 3rd look. I suspect a run or 2 coming for ya.

You have a point. I'm not watching it. 4 hits can mean they hit 10 balls hard or 1. Its hard to say if you're not watching it

[Fred The Hammer]

Some aces just getting lit up today! Sale, DeGrom, and Nola all getting hit hard

[Fred The Hammer]

Oakland!!! Profar did it tonite!!

16-8 (+ $1,044) Triple digit profits baby!!

[Fred The Hammer]

I was looking at the Braves hard tonite. Max Fried could be special and the Rockies are all beat up, but Marquez is their best starter. 5-0 Braves....oh well

[Fred The Hammer]

Dodgers with 7 hits, 7 walks, and no runs. How is that possible? Oh well. I should've consulted with Bank first

[2daBank]

He took 100 pitches and didn’t even make it thru 5th so doyers certainly shoulda put few runs up regardless the types of hits, between them and the walks they had tons of bsssrunners thru 5.

I just expect cards pitching to get progressively better than they were the 1st few times around. I still have doubts about the offense, especially while they continue wasting a corner outfield spot on Fowler but the pitching as always with them will be there.

Shit bro, i wouldn’t have played the under. Nothing worse than being on a over where a team stands crazy amount of runners, not much else you can do. Game could have easily been 4-4.,, get’em next time.

[Fred The Hammer]

16-9 (+$834)

Adding:

Reds (-159)/Miami $397 to win $250

Sonny Gray had great stuff last time out. Lopez hasn't looked good for the Fish. The Reds sweep Miami today. Slight tilt play perhaps. My woman and I split up. I guess I'm meant to be single. Goddamn? I can't win with women?
