I couldn't resist the over on this Twins/Indians matchup. Played Twins TT o4 but the game total o9 looks good too.

Looking closely at the Cardinals/Cubs under but may just leave that one alone. These starters are sharp but seem to struggle against these specific teams over the years. Under or no play and my gut is saying no play.

Biff, I like your idea of throwing a few +ev parlays in once in a while. I'm +money with play money. Granted I've taken a few brutal beats for good change but you can also hedge once in a while.

Today I took CHC/Hou/Bal U FF (all) ... .3U to make 2.7U ... GL today!

Madison · 07-29-12, 02:20 PM

OMFG ... If I lose this because first and 2nd and grounder to third and 3B doesn't step on bag and throw to first. Instead he gives 3rd base and throws to 2nd and overthrow to 1st scoring runner from 3rd. UFB.

Had family stuff earlier this afternoon and got back just in time for that play and 2 homers in Houston 4th. Bah.

3* Pirates/Astros under 8 (-116) - LOSER

made my decision on James McDonald. dude is garbage right now, pitching scared, throwing over to first every other pitch. he was great early this season but he's a walk waiting to happen right now and that can kill an under.

Actually found the only possible way to lose. Needed FF under. That play at third in bottom of 5th killed the bet. A perfect exampple of how snatch defeat from the sure hands of victory. Should have had a big week and ended up just barely in the black. What's the opposite of "woot" .... "baaah".

bah is most definitely the [non-profane] antonym of woot.

i saw a rumor (which i was unable to substantiate) that Longoria might be returning tonight. frankly, i think that's unlikely - that is, if he's going to fly from Durham to rejoin the team on the West Coast, it would be objectively confirmable by now. it's much more likely that he'll be activated this weekend with the Rays return to Tampa.

the line is very active, seems that it got pounded pretty hard last night when it was in the -114 range, so pretty sure some guys who are smarter than me are on it. i'm basically backing Price here (like Price a lot), along with the theory that Griffin's due for regression (ERA 2.25 while advanced stats put him in the 3.50-4.00 range), A's are making the long trip back west from Baltimore and Crisp is likely out of the lineup. BOL whatever you decide, i like the odds of Price bringing in the W by 2+ runs.

italianbandit · 07-30-12, 02:24 PM

Thanks for sharing Biff, that's very generous of you. I always appreciate your input. I was leaning A's but will pass. I am going to buy a unit on LAD -125, I hope they win by 2.

Sure thing, anytime. Go Big Blue!

BiffTFinancial · 07-30-12, 03:19 PM

Leaning Rangers -1 -110 for game #3, but man does it feel square to basically be playing Rangers -1, Rays -1, Dodgers -1. Gotta ponder for a bit. Then again, CWS/MIN and TOR/SEA would appear to be only games where public % is 70+ or more on one side.

Note: Tigers play is action, not listed pitchers. there is a chance that Beckett might be held out of this start due to trade talks, in which case Verlander -127 action will be great value. if Beckett pitches, there is a 100% chance that he'll still be a fat shit when he takes the mound.

Warning: 0-3 this season fading the Tribe.

tough one on Tigers, given that they had bases loaded in top of 6th when game was delayed. that said, Verlander struggled from the outset, so loss was the appropriate result even though i was onto something with Beckett sucking. oh well.

unfortunately, no. generally speaking (some books may have rules that vary a bit), game is official for ML, FF ML, FF total purposes (but not RL or full-game) after 5 innings (4.5 innings for ML or FF ML if home team is leading). Game must go full 9 innings (8.5 if home team leading) for RL or full-game total purposes.
