    I do think Lester will regress back to his usual sold numbers as the season goes on, but the Twins did take him for 5 runs the last time he faced them, and he has an ERA over 7 at home this year. The Minnesota kid seems to walk a lot of hitters too. Thoughts behind this one, LT?

    ya I think you gotta give the edge to Lester, of course. I'd just take my money on the ML. A hunch is telling me Lester will go back to his old ways during this one. I think the Sox will score, but will the Twins...

    And this is coming from a Twins fan...

    Lester showed signs of snapping out of it last time out vs. the Yankees, he really only had one bad inning. Twins haven't done much offensively last few games and they have always struggled in Boston. You make a valid point about Deduno's walks, but he is also a strikeout guy and he is coming off his best start allowing two hits in seven innings.

    Are Padres just a value play?

    All of his plays are value plays, which is the only sensible approach to betting, especially ML.

    So you never play a juiced line because you have a solid angle?

    Value is EVERYTHING in betting, you can't win long term without it. That said, pinny kicked my ass here closing at +189.

    Yeah I get it. But whats the value in the Pads today other than the +183 or whatever. What's the angle other than the juice? I mean you can play matches at +2000 but does that mean value?

    You have to be able to compute your own probabilities and the compared them the actual line. The second part is the easy part.

    It looks like I was obviously wrong but I put the Padres' chances of winning today between 37-38%. Using the low end of 37% is +170.

    I was more concerned with showing you the thought process, +2000 in and of itself in not value. +2000 on what should be +1700 is. +2000 in what should be +2500 is not.

    Haha I get you man. I was just trying to clear up a thought I had and you helped me do that. I need to learn how to cap games by plugging numbers and just trying to get a better understanding of everything and different approaches.
