Where did you get 8.5 or the Reds total?! You should get another book, most books have it at 8! GL!

ty, and this is not online book, its local book in Croatia, so I have it 8.5 total runs
but I dont like this O/U bets, dont know why, some ppl here say it should go over, but I dont know, will think about this play a little
yankees are my 1st pick today, and CWS , not sure bout them either, I needed third pick so I chose them, anyone has better plays for today????

In baseball, the money is in the dogs. Not all dogs are good to bet, but if you focus on betting just a few of the best opportunities with good money lines you will likely end up ahead. Bet when the books are having to pay out a lot more than you would think for a team in a given situation.

Another thing is you might want to avoid interleague games because the small rule change (DH) can do funny things to the motivation of the players and teams.

I like small dogs or RL on huge favs to get back some of that juice. It doesn't always pan out, but I hate laying more than -150 on a huge fav only to see them win by 5-6 points. As for today I actually like CLE at home with Carrasco pitching. He should be able to hold them to 2-3 runs giving CLE a chance to win.

ty for the advice... and after some thinking I think I know the plays for today

yankees RL
pirates - astros no run 1st inning

and thats it, if it hits than great if not, more luck next time

hezawizard · 07-05-11, 11:32 AM

lol how this thread is going it seems like I wont play anything today, I'm not even sure bout yank anymore...
well got about hour more to think bout plays than I'm going to book...

No runs Mariners 1st inning

LGHT · 07-05-11, 11:44 AM

I like the No Run and Under in the SD/SF game. SD and SF are one of the 2 worse hitting teams against righties in the league and they have 2 aces on the mound. Not sure who is going to win, but it seems like a 1-0 game to me.

DET/LAA U is a very solid play. Neither team is a huge hitting force, they just play well on given spots. Two solid pitchers, the park they are playing in etc make this a pretty decent play. The Yankees are always unpredictable at best I always avoid games when they win against a lessor team on the first outing. CC S. Is a great pitcher but that doesn't score runs.

I'm liking ATL with 2 key players out for the Rockies. That game also should be a low scoring game. If your looking for low juice Tampa with Shields on the mound might just be the best play. The Rays always play better on the road than at home.

LAA vs Tigers ---- no run 1st inning

Giants vs Padres ---- no run 1st inning

Marlins vs Phillies ---- Phillies ML

Ok I'm betting on this, what you think

hezawizard · 07-05-11, 09:42 PM

no luck today, played the games above, parlay, padres blew it...
I threw out yankees RL they trashed that other team, I threw out cars and reds over, I threw out pirates and astros no run 1st inning
so far only good thing was throwing white sox out of my plays...
really no luck in picking plays today, and it just hurts cuz it seems it was just one of those days where every game went how it was supposed to go and money was there to take... maybe I thought too much , looks like it, simple was the way to go today
