[hotcross]

Results: Aug.27 = -1.90 units (3-4 W/L)
OVERALL: +18.35 units (148-165-12 W/L/D = .473 pct)

Grrrrr. Pittsburgh won 5-4 score, moneyline winner, but lose the Alt.Runline

Tampa got throttled in Houston.

Atlanta couldn't get their offense going in Toronto, losing 3-1 score. Rough travel for them, but I thought starting pitcher Soroka would have a good game, which he did.

Yankees won 7-0 in Seattle, behind a superb outing by Tanaka.

W/L 3-4 on the night as the games didn't go quite how I thought, but a loss of -1.90 units wasn't too bad.

Going thru a dry spell past 3-days.

Once again, the Alt.Runline lost for a big swing, where the dog moneyline woulda hit, this time with Tampa winning 9-8 score in Houston, and they had the 2-run lead but gave up a solo-shot homerun in the bottom of the 9th ....the moneyline for Tampa was something like +210

Seattle however did win on the Alt.Runline scoring 2 runs in the top of the 9th in Arlington vs the Rangers

Picks went 3-3 W/L past two days, but suffered from the -5 unit bomb on the bad Pittsburgh pick on Wed.
