I kind of though Cole and the Yanks would be -300 or so, but -340?
Yikes.
I don't care if NYY is facing Baltimore, you have to have rocks in your head to lay -340 straight up.
Now if you want to use the Yanks in a parlay to reduce some of that juice, well OK maybe but still even if you hit a two teamer with the Yanks your payoff will still be microscopic.
Moving on.....
Three early games.
Colorado at Oakland
3:40 pm
Colorado starts Marquez, Oakland starts Montas
Colorado away from home doesn't hit that well
Yes, Story, Arenado, and Blackmon all carry thunder sticks but Montas is good enough to slow them down plus Oakland's lineup is very balanced.
I like Oakland here at -142. (Now -144)
-142 is a bit high for my taste as I don't like to lay more than -133 but like I said I do like Oakland's line up and Montas is a better starter than Marquez even though Marquez'a last start was stellar and Montas's last start was so-so.
Arizona at Texas
3:40 pm start
Arizona starts Bumgarner, Texas starts Lance Lynn.
The game is a 'pick and for good reason, it's a toss up coin flip game.
Both teams can rake, but the veteran future Hall of Fame Bumgarner is the better starter.
Gun to head I would take the Snakes here with Bummy, but Arizona is a small lean for me only right now.
Chicago White Sox at Cleveland
6:10 pm start
Chicago starts Giolito, Cleveland starts Pleasac.
Giolito got shelled for the White Sox in his 2020 debut giving up seven earned against the hard hitting Twins.
Cleveland (who I picked to win the AL Central) is what I thought they would be at 4-1 and starts Dan Pleasac's kid Zach. (God I'm getting old when I remember the father of the kid who's pitching today.)
Both teams have good line ups.
The game is pretty much a man to man 'pick, I think Giolito bounces back for the White Sox however I can't fade Cleveland at home especially when the Tribe are home dogs.
I can make a case to bet Cleveland too so I'm steering clear of this game as if the Indians win it wouldn't surprise me even though I think Giolito bounces back.
Passing,
The night games (or as I refer to them as the main slate) are interesting.
Like I mentioned Cole goes tonight for the Bombers at an astronomical price of -340.
Max goes for the Nats, Charlie Morton goes for the red hot Rays.
Can the Reds start to get it together tonight?
Can the Brews bounce back?
My favorite team the Royals start my personal favorite Royal the Duff man tonight.
Putting my heart aside and thinking with my wallet I think KC is in a good spot there.
I'll add to this thread later.
I had a bad day yesterday going 1 and 2 (verifiable) losing 1.1*
I am 6-3 for the season so far (verifiable) and up 3..2*
