actually showing value on the Rockies but this is just me fading them. Getting As at a good price against a terrible team in a nutshell. If it loses it loses just tip my hat but not too much you will find me not betting against the Rockies at -130 or better. All that being feel free to layoff if tailing.

Also find it hilarious that I’m locked in on the Pirates every night trying to grind out wins due to my very large bet on the win total of over 58.5 wins. A lot of people will tell you not to lock up money for that long of a period. Which is a very valid point but I can also argue that taking a win total allows you to eliminate some variance and also help you from forcing plays on or against a team. If I’m borderline on a play - a lot of times I’ll just pass if I have the win total. still keeping an eye on the game bc of the win total. Just babbling at this point.
Heads up pitching change for Athletics. Doesn’t change anything re playing the Indians +1.5 (-120) though. Best of luck tonight all! Let’s cash have a strong 2nd half and cash those win totals along the way!
MLB Season 132-122 +2.82u✅ Props season record 3-1 +1.271u✅

July 28th:
Reds -107 (0.7u)
Reds First 5 -125 (1u)
Reds Team total over 4.5 (-125) (0.7u)
Astros -111 (1u)
Marlins +115 (1u)
Dbacks/Rangers Over 9 (+100) (1u)
Insight on the Reds. Mahle has been very impressive this far and I always have loved his stuff! He goes against Zach Davies who i have never liked much. Davies carries a 5.69 xERA suggesting he has been must worse than his already mediocre 4.3 ERA. Davies does not strike many guys out and can be walk prone. Combine that with Adrian Johnson (who is normally is tight strike zone) behind the dish there is potential for a big offensive output from the Reds offense in my opinion. Historically the likes of Votto, Winker, and Suarez have done significant damage to Davies in the past.
Insight on Astros pick. Kikuchi vs Odorizzi. I do not see anything too significant either way here. This is more of a fade the over .500 Mariners who my metrics suggest have been very lucky thus far this season. Astros the far better team and getting them against a team i am looking to fade down the stretch. Price lines up well here for my liking
Marlins insight. My capping style is a mix of what i see and watch and my numbers. This play is more of a numbers based play. Holloway for the marlins is due for some regression for sure and he could get blown up here. And Jorge Lopez for the Orioles is probably due for some positive regression. I normally wouldnt play this here but my numbers have this a coin flip and getting the Marlins at a decent price of +115 is enough for me to play against a rather atrocious Orioles team.
Dbacks/Rangers over insight. Mad Bum vs Jordan Lyles - should i say more?

adding 0.3u on the reds team total over 4.5 (-125). so that makes that a full unit.

1) Nationals reasoning: this game lines up perfectly in terms of what I look for. I’m backing a guy (Josiah gray) that I like here that the market doesn’t know much about and fading a guy (Suarez) that has been extremely lucky. I am not saying Suarez is a bad player I’m just saying he’s far outperformed thus far. His BABIP is a measly .188 and his Left on base percentage is 86%. Those numbers are unsustainable no matter who you are. Suarez xFip is 3.36 which is still very good but compared to his era of 1.12 you can see he has had some serious luck. I just say all that to express why I see regression coming. Josiah Gray on the other hand will he an extremely exciting player to watch going forward. The nationals claim they will take the training wheels off but is won’t believe that until I see it. After all they wouldn’t even take the training wheels off Strasburg in the midst of a big playoff run chance a few years back. Gray has a start under his belt and I expect him to be a little more comfortable this time. He’s a guy I will be looking to back anytime he’s an underdog to be quite honest. He’s succeeded at every level he’s played at and expect no different here. He’s struggled with command in the bigs so far but really doesn’t have a ton of control issues at the other levels so I’m expecting the more comfortable he gets the better his command will get. He will also be out of the bright lights of LA so that could help as well. Nationals roster is somewhat depleted but the Phillies are plenty vulnerable in this spot. I’ll take my chances with a short underdog.
giants reasoning: somewhat on the same line of thinking here. Desclafani has put together a very impressive season and his underlying metrics suggest he is pitching as well as his numbers. Disco for the Giants has also been remarkable numbers against the Dbacks hitters. (.117 average) couple that with addition of Kris Bryant I think we have a really good spot here. Yes the Dbacks have been a far better team at home but they are still a very poor baseball team. Widener will start on the mound and he carries a 4+ era but his metrics suggest he’s closer to a 5. Couple that with a bad bullpen I think we have recipe for a disaster here tonight. The Giants still seem somewhat undervalued in the market which seems crazy given the record. I don’t love taking big favorites but im seeing plenty of value on the -200 and -1.5 run line here.
