    MLB Tuesday..mentally compare these to your own plays.

    Well my MLB GIF thread did not take off to its expected potential but I am much better backed into a corner anyways.

    No small blurb writeup on these, just early mental leans before I decide what to actually put in. I am typically not this chalky but hey this is what I think looks good.


    Baltimore Oreos -108
    Toronto Blue Jays -148
    New York Mets -120
    San Diego Padres -128
    Seattle Mariners +185
    Kansas City Royals -105
    Houston Astros -136
    Texas Rangers +174
    St Louis Cardinals -126

    Mariners at +185 might be the most tempting underdog i have ever seen.

    Elias is getting no respect. But he can deal.

    Sonny Gray is a fantastic pitcher and has good numbers vs the Rangers. I watched him beat Yu Darvish here in Arlington last year. Having said that this is a divisional game and if Texas wants to make noise they know this is where it starts. Normally I am all over Gray but its buyer beware tonight imho.

    Normally I also back Kluber on chalk days but I think he is getting too much credit in this game. I have him -135 in this spot but the poor Mariner play has made this one jump too much imho.

    James I keep my average chalk well under -135 during baseball season. Some days it happens though and you like the favs.

    Now that I think about it more....I do not like the Texas Rangers pick. I failed to identify Ron Washington who was the manager in the aforementioned game I attended. He is now the Oakland fundamentals video so this could play a factor to continue the dominance with Sonny Gray/ hitter tendencies/ defensive shifting etc. I would move that to the bottom of strength list and a no play at this moment.

    I know why the thumbs down on the ones he chose. They aren't biting much so perhaps that is smart. Thanks JJ and if you really did need back in the game I would help you out as well but I suspect its a ruse.

    why would you want to bet on a team like the Astros on the road on a 5 game losing streak?

    do you have confidence the Astros will give Keuchel run support?

    baseball is a streaky game.

    just hard to have confidence on a team that has lost 5 straight playing on the road with a starting pitcher who is due for a regression

    Stop missing bets due to what ifs or shit that hasn't actually happened yet on the field. You have the right side tonight, I don't know the final score or if some flukey play happens like giving up 3 runs in the bottom of the ninth but AA will win given enough time.


    Can you predict the next color on a (non rigged) roulette wheel?

    Boston is a loss

    Golden State a win

    Washington will be close probably a win +118 or higher and I would be on the Nats.

    St Louis will either get slammed again @ Coors field or win by 10. Too much risk there for me.


    Ill give you 3-1 today...Boston loser.

    Well it looks like Houston was a turrible pick. I'm sorry boys if anyone tailed that one. Gold good initial reads on my plays

    Confusing night for me last night, but I have come to accept it (loss with Pitt on the 8th and now the Astros on the 9th, I thought they were solid). Plays for this evening will be posted shortly.
