Ah there it is-Charlie Morton's playing stickball today. Something is fishy about this game. Morton has stellar-I mean STELLAR numbers vs the Cardinals lineup, and Fedde has a .040 AVG against the Orioles

Cardinals/Orioles UNDER 9.5 Fedde/Morton

[atthehalf]

Just an idle thought-I don't think that I have ever seen as many NBA playoff games in one season that have teams down by 20 eventually end up winning. These playoffs are absurd

[atthehalf]

My bad y'all. I didn't come back and announce that I passed on the Cardinals SIDE!

[atthehalf]

I feel great-with Ryan Weathers giving me a substantial payday with 5 2/3rds with 6 K's and 3 walks.

And for you guys I even picked up +3.59 UNITS to move to a crispy 276-271-16 +9.96 UNITS as I keep on plugging away at betting like the book. I still get the information from my good source; and I am combining it with the arms that I like

Building up the bankroll on Tuesday. It's kind of rare that I run into a schedule full of this many holes; filled with profound good betting situations. So if you are a broke bettor; then break out your calculator and make your moves with smaller units. I use excellent money management so trust me-although my record is around .500 like everyone else's I refuse to spend over -145 for any move the entire season

I decided to go full Billy Walters and like a straight shooter make moves on any and all advantages that I see-making my moves before money pushing the numbers around (movement).

My CRUMBS POD for Tuesday is Cade Horton (Cubs). I mean I drafted him so I am going to keep using him. Having him on only 13% rostership is wonderful and should give me an excellent return should he get my 5/3/1/K/W

[teecee]

Thanks, for posting, Champ. Good luck.

[atthehalf]

Ok boys-I grabbed some more POSITIONS which would make some of these into 2 UNITS total

Braves-1.5 +140 RL Strider 1 MORE UNIT
Guardians+110 Bibee 1 MORE UNIT
Cardinals-1.5 +135 RL Pallante 1 UNIT (ALREADY HAVEW THEM FOR FF ML)
Royals-1.5 +170 RL Lynch IV 1 UNIT
Jays+122 Francis 1 UNIT

The rest of the mistakes I will just absorb and move on to tomorrow

[atthehalf]

Ok so for HUMP DAY

Giants (Landen Roupp) Well I mean hey...I drafted him and he has given me some huge paydays. The Tigers aren't the ideal matchup and Roupp is still ironing out the kinks. Hopefully the changeup and cutter take another step forward. With only 12% rostership he's the one. Yes he is

[atthehalf]

Noah Cameron is going for the Royals also tomorrow and with only 23% rostership I'm certainly on him for those 5 frames. Now that he has a few starts under his belt, it's time to waltz down the "Reds Carpet". I hope he's still at 92 mph, he's far better there than the 90 mph earlier this year.

Damn-someone hit my message box and asked me why I liked the Orioles RL. I have this thing about teams with worse records being favored over teams that are way above .500-this is one of those situations-so i took the RL.

Listen folks I have no fear when it comes to this thing of ours. I have bought fully into the theory that each and every advantage must be exploited. As Billy Walters put it-when you look at the betting board in a casino there isn't just one singular bet offered. There are hundreds. So the books are utilizing hundreds of ways to make a profit with the objective to extract vigorous and high earnings from bettors on the wrong side-each and every offering is meant to do that-so he mirrored what the books are doing. Very good book; very informative. I mean so what happens if I am rolling around .500 and then suddenly have 2-3 enormous days in a row and then cash out a huge profit? So in his mind that type of outcome is much better than stocks and bonds

[atthehalf]

Roupp!!!! Bringing home the bacon y'all!

[atthehalf]

Not that making a move against Wheeler is the wisest decision-the books need Smith Sharver to show out today BAD. Here's what else the Hard Rock are backing

Fish+130
Jays+114
Orioles-120
Braves+130

[atthehalf]

The Fathers starting pitching is not good right now!

[atthehalf]

I hate the Giants manager right about now-pulling Roupp after 4 frames-the 4 runs weren't on him-he only had 1 earned and 7 k's and 2 walks...what a piss off

[atthehalf]

My CRUMBS POD is Jacob Lopez (A's) with 0% rostership.

Nats-109 Gore 2 UNITS
Rays-105 Baz
A's/Jays UNDER 4.5 -105 FF Lopez/Berrios
A's+0.5 -115 FF ML Lopez
A's/Jays UNDER 8.5 -120 Lopez/Berrios

[atthehalf]

The Sailors are 2nd in K's vs lefties. Gore is #1 in K's with 93 on the season-so

Nats (Gore) OVER 7.5 K's -115

[atthehalf]

I m really excited for Friday-there are a lot of really good arms out there facing one another! And of course Colin Rea is facing the Red Leggins with his low rostership!

[atthehalf]

Ok so

Braves-110 Sale 2 UNITS

[atthehalf]

This is some ignorant stat....

Chris Sale has faced 101 Blunts batters-he has K'd up 40 of them. Let that sink in for a minute. That's ridiculous

[atthehalf]

Just looking ahead-I have Tijuan Walker (Blunts) ranked dead last on the board for tomorrow-look for me to back Priester and the Brews HEAVILY. He has no business being a favored arm.

My CRUMBS POD for tomorrow will be Kyle Harrison (Giants). A LHP against the Marlins is a gift. I'm tossing him out there, even if he was under 60 pitches last time out. This should help get the Giants out of their current losing streak. This could get very ugly very fast as the Fish try to get used to the EST again after a long PST trip with short rest

Seth Lugo may still be recovering from his stint on the injured list-facing Casey Mize may not be the best solution and let's face it-the Tigers are hot as fish grease

[atthehalf]

The Bombers are going to scalp the Dodgers in the first game-I have Fried as my #1 ranked and Gonsolin as a DNS...

[atthehalf]

CRUMBS POD IS Kyle Harrison (Giants)

Cubs-1.5 +120 RL Rea

Bombers-0.5 -108 FF RL Fried
Bombers/Dodgers OVER 4.5 -126 FF Fried/Gonsolin
Bombers-130 ML Fried 2 UNITS

Giants-1.5 -105 RL Harrison 2 UNITS
Giants/Fish OVER 8.5 Harrison/Quantrill

Cardinals-130 ML Liberator

Brews+125 Hall 2 UNITS
Guardians-1.5 +142 RL Ortiz

Astronauts-1.5 +140 RL Valdez

Twins+0.5 -113 FF RL Matthews
Fathers-0.5 -121 FF RL Pivetta
Tigers-122 FF ML Mize
A's+0.5 -110 FF RL Springs
Red Sox+0.5 -115 FF RL Giolito
Cardinals/Wanderers UNDER 4.5 +105 FF Liberator/Lieter
Rox/Metropolitans UNDER 4.5 -120 FF Freeman/Peterson
Brews/Blunts UNDER 4.5 +110 FF Hall/Walker
A's/Jays UNDER 4.5 -115 FF Springs/Bassitt

[atthehalf]

I know that Priester got subbed out for DL Hall-but I still have Tijuan ranked dead last! I mean I won't win every move -that's for sure-however I have to stand by my principles when it comes to my knowledge of arms for this sport
