LTA's MLB Plays

[mbs4]

the angels under is a system play of dexter, which were hitting at an amazing clip last year

Dexter is playing the Angels ml as a system play and the Marlins under as a system play.

you're right, i messed it up with roaddog's play, have put the plays in hours ago, i think that masterson will pitch very well, this is what the line indicates and weaver is usually lights out

[Love The Action]

While I respect all other cappers, I would prefer not to know whether this guy or that guy is on the same play as me. That makes no difference to me and I prefer not to know for superstitious reasons. Thanks.

But you are in dexters thread constantly.

[bleedtoledo]

..so, how's the weather? I see it coming from the south, so not exactly at home plate but kinda out to left. If wind were coming from southeast then it would be directly into home plate. I'm seeing this right? Or, I'm a moron?

[Laissez Faire]

But you are in dexters thread constantly.

not trying to start anything, but I just want to point something out

so the aforementioned comment was made...i will hypothesize the end result of that statement...

LTA may or may not respond back

if he does choose to respond, he will tell you in a stern but congenial manner his opinion on the issue that you have with him visiting dex's thread

you might respond back with a witty remark (or you might not respond back at all)

if you were to respond back...then the followers of this thread would jump in to defend LTA & his plays (and rightfully so)

then there would be a back-and-forth internet war for about a page and a half, permeated with malicious or condescending statements

so...to skip all of that...can we please just not post comments like that

excuse me if I am reading too much into your comment WVU...it just seemed to me as though the purpose of the statement was to instigate further conversation related to dexter's thread

I follow both dex & lta...and appreciate the time and effort that both put in each and every day (I don't know about you guys...but my bankroll has been looking lovely)

I just want this thread to reside on the street in which most threads on this forum could only dream about...a gambling utopia of winning picks, unencumbered by derogatory comments

I'm all for debate about the plays and I love this community of gamblers...at the end of the day, we are all trying to do 1 thing: win money...so let's keep the negativity to a minimum


just thoughts from a high rise in Orlando

[bleedtoledo]

I agree with everything you said, so this post of mine is just more clutter on the board. I just wish you'd taken a more "hands off" approach in saying it.

Dude.....don't even respond to such idiocy. The terminally stupid are meant to be ignored. This is especially true when they are clearly trolling. Good luck.

[Laissez Faire]

understood...sorry to clutter thread...GL to all tonight

[WVU9494]

Are you a con artist or something? You said you don't care about other cappers, and I pointed out you are constantly posting on dexters thread. Which is it?

great night last night LTA....looking forward to some more great games tonight! the weekend is here!

Anyone have a break down of ML record vs o/u record for LTA?

[BeardedTaco]

Anyone have a break down of ML record vs o/u record for LTA?

I have a spreadsheet of his picks vs the pinny closer (I don't care that much about W/L records in a very efficient market like MLB)

So far he's done a lot better beating the market on his sides. He quite possibly ran bad on weather/injuries type of stuff on the totals.

[PerfectGrape]

Any thoughts on 76ers +9? It seems like a spot for the Bulls to not blow them out, they haven't played as a full squad too much. 76ers are the dogs who can come out with more intensity and keep it close. Or do the Bulls come with the intensity to prove themselves after last year and make a statement?

edit: wrong LTA thread, my bad

Sorry dude, I don't have a format I can provide that in broken down by game.

We should keep track of this in the thread. My records show I am beating the closer on all plays over 74% of the time, including all four of today's plays (as of 5:39 EST).

Nice line movement in your favor as always LTA :thumbsup: If you have a minute, could you elaborate on the Texas wind tunnel. When I think "wind tunnel" it sounds like something that would shoot the ball out the park! But coming in to home plate, obviously not. Also, is Texas considered a hitter's ballpark or is it a big park?

I think the number is accurate at 8.5, so you are getting about .5 of value at +9. I might do a playoff preview of all the matchups if I have time....that will help keep my insomnia going

Not to address the terminally stupid douche-bags of the world, especially those who lack reading comprehension skills, but I feel the need to address certain comments that were made about my buddy Dexter by one of the more douchy posters on SBR.

First, my comments above were not about Dexter or any capper on here. There were a few other posters discussing other cappers picks in my thread today. The only reason I commented about that is because I do not like to know what other cappers are on until my card is final. This is a superstition of mine to avoid any sub-conscience influence on my decision making from knowing what other cappers are taking before I am done with my picks. To me, that is a simple request that should not be met with douchebag comments. Unfortunately, we do have to hear from the terminally stupid in this thread when certain posters decide to shower us with their ignorance.

Secondly, Dexter is probably my best friend on this website and he knows he has my friendship. We PM quite regularly about picks and other topics. Dex has my utmost respect and I believe the feeling is mutual. And while I do try to stop by his thread to provide words of encouragement or wish him luck from time to time, I only wish I could post in his thread more often. I believe I have posted only about 6 times in Dex's thread this entire season season. That number needs to go up.

Finally, good luck to all....even the douchebags (because I know they tail my plays and if they lose, then I lose LOL)

I think we're fine. It's blowing from the right field corner across the field toward third base. The wind tunnel is directly correlated to a wind that blow in from right toward the batter as opposed to across the field like today. In addition, if the wind tunnel was in effect, you would not see heavy juice on the under right now. The efficiency of the market will tell us whether the wind tunnel is in effect or not. If the closing price juices the over, the wind tunnel is a concern. If the closing price juices the under, I believe we will not have to worry about the wind tunnel (just those great lineups LOL).

first off, stop advertising my plays in someone elses thread. the last thing i ever wanted is a crowded thread and thats unfortuntaely happening this year.

LTA is my #1 most respected handicapper on this site. to even insinuate that he is tailing my play is comical. people did the same thing to me this year in college football cause we were both cashing on high overs.

stop mentioning my name...

I cant count on 1 hand how many posts LTA has made in my baseball thread, so he most certainly is not "constantly posting there"

[pacocn]

Lta, bol on your plays today, like yesterday 3-0
it is a nice looking card.

[Les_Nuts]

I'm really liking Nationals RL +1.5 in the late game as I can get it at -110 at one lazy book instead of the -145 elsewhere. I think this will be a low scoring, close game, the total is set at 6 which is also good for a dog on a RL. Lean under here as well, it feels like a 2-1 game going either way. On all plays LTA, BOL

Howz the little man? My baby girl is 16 months now and chasing the dog all over house ha

We have solid under umps in all of our games. Wolf is in Cleveland, Kellog in Baltimore and Davidson in Texas.

What's up GV. Nice to hear from you. Sounds like everything is going great for you and yours. Glad to hear it. You're one of the good ones. I hope your tickets have been cashing.

We're all doing awesome. My little man will be one year old in a couple of months and we are gearing up for a big party at a local racetrack. My wife loves to play the ponies and is lifetime positive money doing so -- one of the few I've ever known to be successful in handicapping horse racing. Our whole family is +EV!

I almost pulled the trigger on Verlander at -117. I have it at -120 Detroit. However, it's tough to fade the Yanks at home when they are plus money with a half-way decent starter and a struggling detroit lineup.

[Love The Action]

Off to dinner. If I book any other plays, I will try to post from my phone. Good luck tonight.

[absolutkaos]

big win for the Indians in the bottom of the 9th....looks like a 2-2 day (barring a miracle in the MIL game), but cashing on the 1.5x play makes it a profitable day....thanks LTA

[HCBoone]

That Indians game was easy. Masterson back to normal and Weaver just doing his thing. Thanks for the win.

Lta, I hope you post your wife's Kentucky Derby pick, if she has one
