I had one last game tonight. I scoured the lines and found one that looked good; Dodgers -109 for the FF. I placed a wager (very small wager because I'm tired of losing for the day). I straddle in and begin to enjoy a good baseball game. Dodgers come through for an early 1st inning run. Good start but I know it means nothing. The game reaches the fifth inning with my Dodgers up 5 - 0. I feel good and feel happy that I'm going to finally get an "easy" win; one where I don't need to sweat out any 9th inning bases loaded jams.
All of a sudden, bases are loaded with 2 outs. Still a 5 - 0 game, I feel secure. Walk; 5 - 1. Reliever comes in and throws 8 straight balls (that's 2 walks and 2 runs) to make it 5 - 3. Reliever comes in and throws a wild pitch bringing in one more run; 5 - 4. He does get ahead of the count (1 - 2) but decides its time to hit the batter to load the bases. It's 5 - 4 with bases loaded again. He gets ahead of the Odog with a good strike. Next pitch, lines a single to drive in a run to make it 5 - 5. Only silver lining is that the next runner (go ahead run) gets thrown out at home plate.
So, i'm up 5 - 0 in the bottom of the 5th inning (final inning for my wager) and leave with a draw because with 2 outs and no runs in, the padres score 5 runs with 1 f***** single.
I'll make sure to post my next wager because if you place the opposite, you'll guarantee walk away with profit.
