Ck's 2024 mlb thread

[atthehalf]

Bout to head to the local batting age out here so that my son can get in some reps before the game at 2:00. Something tells me that the Bombers are going to exact some frustrated revenge today on the Red Sox....

God willing may I go 9-7 today and gain some crumbs!

[atthehalf]

Hitting the road tough in a few to try and get back to Tampa without any serious traffic problems! I will be along to tidy up the record probably in the evening on Monday

Mercado is going for the Blunts today. I kinda dug what he did in his first start mixing in 4 seamers, curves, and cutters with SOLID control. It's young man's floor-with a shag rug on it. It's what young men do with their first apartment. Rookies have lower floors than veterans; and may have the jitters, or lose command inexplicably. However his arsenal should work against the Braves who are free swingers and overly confident with Reynaldo going for them today-who has BAD NUMBERS vs the Blunts. Should Mercado pull this off and Cannon pull his off I will easily make more than I could stand to lose over the next three days

Unless there is a complete and utter meltdown Eovaldi has pretty much destroyed the Rays-even when they are running in perfect condition. this is MLB so I went light on it because this could be that one time when...

Firstly y'all know how I blindly parlay two teams that had more hits in a loss vs the same team the next game? It happened. I combined a 3-way with the Pale Hose as well. I mean the odds are against hitting a parlay to begin with so may as well parlay underdogs in good situations with a strong favorite...

2 WAY PARLAY Blunts+144/Fathers-161 2 WAY PARLAY 1 UNIT TO WIN 2.96 UNITS

3 WAY PARLAY Blunts+144/Pale Hose+123/Fathers-161 1 UNIT TO WIN 7.84 UNITS

Cabrera is coming off of the 60 day IL to start today vs the Pale Hose and one of my young studs Johnathan Cannon.

Rot.#975 Pale Hose+123 Cannon 3 UNITS

Littell vs Wanderers 30 AB; 10K; 1 BB; .300 AVG; .323 OBP; .600 SLG; .923 OPS

Forgot one

Between Grayson Rodriguez and Mitch Spence there have only been 15 at bats vs the other side-which of course means the batters are at a disadvantage.

Ok so let me wrap my head around this one. Paddack is supposed to be an injured list layover and then come into this situation as a -185 favorite and he was a questionable arm BEFORE his stint.

Ok here goes your help

[RErunSHORTcut]

much appreciated, thanks

[atthehalf]

much appreciated, thanks

Yep-making conventional sides and totals moves in this format will always lead to around a 50% clip at the end of the season because of blown saves. errors, managerial decisions, bad home plate umpiring, pitchers not having the feel for their pitches on a given day, birthdays, childbirth, hangovers you name it. You can only hope to hit the larger unit moves; or you can always tail grecycle99 who in my opinion has the premiere thread here on SBR and he makes it easy to read what his moves are. I think he's on the Red Leggins today-better get you some He's got some money making machine type of system going

[atthehalf]

Chris Sale has been removed from today's scheduled start-adjust accordingly

[atthehalf]

Big board is all set up. I will try to get to tidying up the record before the end of the night boys

[teecee]

Is there any particular reason you are laying off Freddie Freeman Ov. 1.5 total bases? Vs Wheeler, he is at .421, .537, .608, and 1.145.

[teecee]

Oh, and just a heads up, those Jake Irvin numbers are against the Cardinals.

I'm assuming you use ESPN for batter vs pitcher. They have not switched it to the Metropolitans, it is still on the Redbirds.

It is now updated for Jake Irvin.

Also while at it Chris Sale is in today-use him on any and all platforms for your 12 teamers and K's chasing. The board for my fantasy league is cheaper than Hard Rock so I am staying off of the K's in this format and going with

I don't use ESPN. This is what I use-it's more easier to navigate

[atthehalf]

The matchups are easier to see on swish teecee. ESPN is one of those types of websites where it can take FOREVER to find a good matchup and as you can see I don't wait to see reverse line movement and stuff like that because I am up against some 59 other managers and have to dig deep for value on mostly underrated arms with little support to win big. I am trying to catch guys with less than 10% of use rate and can possibly give me 5 frames with a 3/1 K/W ratio

[atthehalf]

Oh and use DEFAULT setting on swish teecee because you will get checkmarks to work with to find instant value. This is what most of the boys in my league use when they have to find a bat to replace an arm that isn't good overall vs the team they are facing and you don't want to take a big loss in the event that they can't make the 5 frames including myself. The other option is to use the entire lineup if you find say 4 bats who are good vs the arm.

I am a grinder, the People's Champ. I blast away on value each and every day regardless of public perception. There's no reason why I get more views than grecycle99 each day other than the fact that I am what hard core daily bettors can identify with; the ups and downs; the numbers crunching; the heartaches of gut wrenching losses the blast of big victories. It's not about the action. You have to bet action in MLB betting because everyone will end up with around a .500 record a the end of the season. It's about building up your bankroll and cashing out each week when you have a good week. Too many of my brothers in this thing leave too much money in an online book and then watch it dwindle instead of accepting shorts and requesting a payout immediately and then tighten their belt loop, build up and then repeat.

As a group we are killing Hard Rock out here in Tampa because we operate with instructions and also have our own separate book infused by the preseason buy ins.

So information like I just gave you is key in the equation. I think the words you are looking for are "thank you" Now let's get their money man

[atthehalf]

Anyone making moves on the Orioles should take the RL. It may be a massacre and at least you won't lose -180 juice should they go down in flames. Taillon is a gas can vs that squad

[teecee]

Sorry Freddie didn't come through. The numbers looked very good. Sample was around 50 ABs.

[atthehalf]

It's cool stuff happens teecee

Ok for today I am going to have to list the moves I made because I don't have much time on my hands. The DOUBLE HEADER RULE is in effect provided the Twins win Game 1-so be prepared to blast away on them in Game 2 in the event that they win
