Trey Mancini for the Orioles has good numbers vs Sale, 40% owned

got 'em both

thanks for the nudge on the St.Louis game, shoulda played it bigger.

There's a lot of teams I don't trust and don't like playing often. But a great spot is a great spot.

Good job
Glad you got that.

Only 1 p,at I sort of like but juicy
Indians run line-146
Pitching matchup is very lopsided. Wouldn't go to big, however.

Lucroy has been hitting much better lately, too. I've wondered if he can ever return to the good form he had a couple years ago in Milwaukee. Immediately after they traded him to Texas, he looked terrible at bat ever since. That year in Milwaukee he was a force.

Oakland hasn't had a consistent productive offensive effort from a catcher for many years. Their lineup would be real deep if Lucroy can keep it going.

Lucroy hasn't done much of anything since we started talking about him back on Aug.4

Has a total of 3 hits, 2 walks, in 18 At Bats during the 6 games he played. Sat out two games.

Catchers are meant for streaming.
In my draft, I treat them like kickers in fantasy football, draft last and spot start

**darrell74** · 08-15-18, 06:01 PM

If you got time, Braves run line to win a hundred bucks
Miami's pitcher is a gas can.
Hopefully Atlanta's Gausman can repeat his 8 inning last outing

**darrell74** · 08-15-18, 07:04 PM

Wow!!!
urena ejected after the first pitch

**hotcross** · 08-15-18, 07:47 PM

I missed the Atlanta game

Wed. Aug. 15 west coast game

UNDER 4.5 -130 LAA@SD first five innings // 3 units to win 2.30

I really like this play, and it's a follow-thru from yesterday's loss on the same pick. 6pm local start time in San Diego. The pitchers are nothing special Pena at Erlin, but it's RHP vs LHP and both these teams lineups struggle against the respective handed pitching.

Two team parlay for tomorrow, 40 wins 250
Rays ml +155, Braves run line +185
Rays are not a lock by at means. But I like Snell, better than Tanaka in this spot. Rays winning yesterday the way they did does encourage me to pick them with a better pitcher.
Atlanta is rolling. Colorado is stumbling. I like the braves to keep it that way..

**darrell74** · 08-16-18, 02:56 AM

A couple of spot starts, Clay Bucholz and Julio Teheran. Both 50% owned.
Teheran, I'm willing to bet run line . He has very good numbers against the Rockies and I expect 1 run or less given up by him.
possible no hitter

So I get the first leg of my parlay. Rays outright win.
I made this parlay, last night at about 9 p.m., before I left the Texas. Rays went to +175 at first pitch.
Last night, I get the Braves - 1 1/2 +185, Braves/Rocks were a straight pick em, didn't bet that though, just the run line.
This morning, Colorado us favored, and you can't bet the run line - 1 1/2 on Atlanta, because it switched over to the Rocks.

I jus don't see how Colorado can win this without Julio going out really early.
Julio teheran has lifetime 181 batting average against him from Colorado.

5 of the Rockies gave awful lifetime numbers against him.

**darrell74** · 08-16-18, 04:40 PM

Acuna will play tonight, hitting leadoff.
After getting drilled, last night, Braves clear him. Braves favored to win

**darrell74** · 08-16-18, 09:43 PM

Bad call on the Braves

**darrell74** · 08-17-18, 12:27 AM

Anthony desclafani starting pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds is coming off 2 very good starts.
He is 5% owned. Giving up one run and let on 10 base runners in the last 14 innings
Giants come to town with mediocre hitting
Good spot play for tomorrow's game

A little bummed out that I missed my 2 teamer when the Braves couldn't get it done on the Rockies.

**hotcross** · 08-17-18, 07:33 PM

3 games remain on the West Coast for tonight. Why is Arizona the lowest favored, while facing the worst opponent?

ARIZ @ SD +120

HOU @ OAK +133

LAD @ SEA +122

just a question. And I recall when Arizona faced the Padres earlier in the end of July, the lines were the same way, not too huge of a favorite, and Arizona won handily the first two games, while winning game 3 by one run.

**darrell74** · 08-17-18, 07:58 PM

Luchessi had good outing against Philly , but Arizona is the better team . Value with Arizona

**hotcross** · 08-17-18, 08:18 PM

I decided to take a shot on the Padres to win the game

Diamondbacks are 1-4 in Rays last 5 road starts Overall.
Diamondbacks are 1-4 in Rays last 5 starts vs. National League West.
Diamondbacks are 0-4 in Rays last 4 starts following a team loss in their previous game.
Diamondbacks are 0-4 in Rays last 4 starts after scoring 5 runs or more in their previous game.
Diamondbacks are 0-6 in Rays last 6 starts.

**darrell74** · 08-18-18, 03:22 AM

^tough break
Bounce back later

**darrell74** · 08-18-18, 03:32 AM

4 teamer
20 wins 148
Diamondbacks , Red Sox , Mets, Giants all money line
all pitchers I like

Wily Adams of the Tampa Rays, Harrison Bases for the St. Louis Cardinals both 22% owned, and have hit above 450 for the last week.

**hotcross** · 08-18-18, 08:38 PM

This SF at Cincy game is a joke, I didn't play it just in case something might go funny after they played a 2-1 score extra innings game last night. Bumgarner at Matt Harvey and Giants have been playing decently, plus have good prior history hitting Harvey.

Well it's 7-1 Cincy leading headed to the bottom of the 8th.

dumb parlay, only 20 bucks.

**darrell74** · 08-19-18, 03:47 AM

Tomorrow I got a spot start
Angels starting pitcher Jaimie Barria has won 3 of last 4
Should get a win tomorrow and at least 5k's

**hotcross** · 08-19-18, 10:07 AM

Ever notice when a superstar player on a losing team goes on the DL, the team tends to win more games, for a stretch, than they were before?

Seems that's what is happening with the Angels since Trout went down.

I'm just going by memory but it seems to work this way.

Why? Kinda adds fuel to the fixed games conspiracy theories. I don't think all games are fixed, but I do believe a small percentage are.

**darrell74** · 08-19-18, 04:23 PM

yes
About the team, and not the individual

Lead after 5, with 5 strikeouts. Bad w.h.i.p.
Rain delay gets him pulled

**darrell74** · 08-20-18, 02:07 AM

Marco Estrada of the Toronto Blue Jays is pitching against the Baltimore Orioles tomorrow and he's 8.3% owned
The last time he pitched against them was on June 10th and he pitched six Innings of two-run ball with a sub-1 whip and 9 strikeouts
Got the win

**hotcross** · 08-20-18, 09:17 PM

We get another look at young 24-year-old lefty Austin Gomber for St.Louis on the road at the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Gomber is 3-0 W/L with 2.89 ERA going into tonight's game.

**hotcross** · 08-20-18, 09:27 PM

^^^wooo...he just loaded the bases in the bottom of the first, nobody out, got a foul out behind homeplate, then a humpback liner to 2nd base for a double-play, getting out of the inning!

**darrell74** · 08-21-18, 02:49 AM

^
Gomber went up against good hitting and survived.
Couldn't get the win

A good spot start. However, at Colorado next start. Might skip that one.

Get a win with this one.
I was gonna bet it, but the -170 was just not worth the trip to the station casino

**darrell74** · 08-21-18, 04:19 AM

Tomorrow, I'm leaning towards Seattle and Mike Leake for a spot start and play.
Houston seems to miss Altuve, and have hit a rough patch, lately.
Mike Leake went 8 innings against a surging A's offense. He got the win.

Worthless, got scratched due to an illness

Mariners recalled Ben Gamel, worth streaming as an outfielder for the few days

Keep hearing about the smoke so thick up in Seattle from the wildfires.

You must be having some smoke in Vegas also? Wildfires all over the west it seems.

Nothing yet.
Seasonal wind changes have started but no smoke.
Wind from the south towards the north lasts 2 days.
Still 105 Fahrenheit mid day..

**darrell74** · 08-23-18, 05:57 AM

Anthony desclafani is a plus 200 Underdog starting pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds tomorrow
Live dog
His numbers are really not that bad
