2018 baseball rotisserie

**darrell74** · 05-15-18, 01:20 AM

Wilbur Flores is supposed to be knocking it around the park tomorrow against Jaime Garcia
Carlos Gonzalez and Victor Martinez are supposed to have good days tomorrow as well

**hotcross** · 05-15-18, 02:52 PM

Pittsburgh should have very good hitting weather for an interleague game vs the White Sox

the thing that concerns me a bit is with the White Sox losing the DH in the national league park

I'm going with White Sox to win, but really want to add the total.....any thoughts?

**darrell74** · 05-15-18, 04:18 PM

Colin Moran 13% owned, 1b 3b
Lefty vs. right matchup, batting 357 with 5 rbi`s and 1 home run in last 7 days

**darrell74** · 05-16-18, 12:21 PM

For tomorrow it looks like you should start the Colorado Rockies bats
Jeff Samardzija for the Giants has terrible numbers against them

**JaimeMiro** · 05-16-18, 02:19 PM

What's your opinion on the yankees Robinson Canu PED suspension?

**hotcross** · 05-16-18, 04:33 PM

^^^I started a long thread on that Tuesday. Will let Darrell comment if he wants to.

great question
I'll tell you what I did
I dropped him
although he's a decent source of runs and RBIs, the cluttered up my roster
I was lucky to pick up Jed Lowrie, so I'm good
Originally I had him on my DL, but since he got suspended I wasn't allowed to make any more transactions until I drop him from my DL

I know it sounds kind of crazy to just drop a guy like that and not even offer a trade, but I didn't have the time which it takes 24 to 48 hours in my league to make the trades, because I like streaming players.
But baseball is loaded with a lot of good second baseman. you should be able to find one in your league
Nick Goodrum Detroit 5% owned
Daniel descalso 14% owned Arizona
Jonathan Villar 13% on Milwaukee
IsaiahKiner Texas 1% owned
Nothing with Starpower like Robinson Cano's name obviously but these guys can produce
your team isn't over if you drafted Robinson Cano

Now I got to go find a Hot Cross's thread and leave my comments in there

**darrell74** · 05-17-18, 06:10 AM

One early game tomorrow and it's really hard to gauge a lot of factors without much of a chance to figure out who is getting benched
Miami and the Dogers play and I still don't know who is pitching for Miami
Kenta Madea has pitched like crap for the Dodgers lately, he's one of the four worst pitchers going on tomorrow.
That game goes off soon,and everything else is tonight.

Sports betting-i've been ice cold
However I might be heating up
Last night I won my Wagers on Justin Verlander (quite candidly I bet Justin Verlander not the Houston Astros) the Vegas golden knights
I even had two small bets on the Vegas golden knights Puck line and a two-team parlay with the Vegas golden knights and the over and if you saw any of that game both of those two small vets hit with two seconds left with an empty Netter. So maybe my luck is starting to turn around
Unrelated I also hit for $850 played video poker and I won $700 playing craps yesterday and I was out of major losing streak in both for the last month-and-a-half
So my 3 team parlay is fading the three of the four worst pitchers going tomorrow.
Pittsburgh Colorado Detroit
Two of them are even under dogs
There is no way Colorado should be another dog, definitely a line maker Lament
Jeff Samardzija has a history of getting blown up by the Colorado Rockies
Detroit is the other Underdog but it's more justifiable because Seattle is the better team
However Matt Boyd has the best whip in the last two weeks in the Major League, while Seattle starting pitcher Gonzalez has a terrible era, Seattle might not be taking this Robinson Cano suspension very well either
San Diego's pitcher Eddie Lauer got rocked for seven runs his last time out and couldn't get past the third inning. Pittsburgh's bats will be way too good for this guy and Chad Kuhl hasn't pitched great but it's not as bad as Eddie Lauer

**hotcross** · 05-17-18, 12:28 PM

I'm considering the Over 8 in Pittsburgh for the reasons you've mentioned. It was good hitting weather there for the past two games, but against the White Sox who only scored 0 then 2 runs, so neither game went Over. Now with the Padres it's also a concern, Chad Kuhl should give up runs but against a better hitting team I wouldn't hesitate.

Seattle's Marco Gonzalez is a real feast or famine kind of pitcher. I think he's better than what his numbers show. But of course that's just speculation until he can perform on a consistent basis.

Your dogs parlay looks pretty balsy. Good luck.

**darrell74** · 05-18-18, 10:52 AM

Good day at the sportsbook, yesterday.
I had about $470 in tickets I cashed in yesterday for my baseball and hockey bets.
Good to finally win

Today's really chalky though all the matchups that I like are way too chalky there like in the 200's
Maybe your play of the day might be Cincinnati Reds as an Underdog
Some of the Reds players have really good numbers against Jon Lester
Billy Hamilton even has two home runs against Jon Lester
Adam Duvall, Eugenio Suarez, Jose Peraza all have good numbers against Jon Lester
Anthony Rizzo for the Chicago Cubs is the only one that has good numbers against Homer Bailey lifetime

Personally I don't have time to get to the sports book today I'm running late for work today so I'll be able to make that bet
I'll be getting off work at about 5:36 tonight I'll definitely get to the casino to catch the last half of the Golden Knights game but I'll probably try to get action on a late night baseball game if any of you guys got a suggestions I wouldn't mind getting some action I got cash burning a hole in my pocket so I'll probably want to do something for late tonight

**hotcross** · 05-18-18, 05:47 PM

I saw the same thing about Cincinnati Reds matchup, but having a hard time pulling the trigger. For some reason I'm also hesitant to play Toronto against Oakland who is starting Brett Anderson and he's been terrible.

I am playing the Marlins team total over 4 against Matt Wisler.

Nice hit for you yesterday.
Take my plays with a grain of salt, I've been trying ice cold.

**hotcross** · 05-18-18, 11:10 PM

so let's see,
to recap....

Toronto scored just 1 run
Cincinnati just 1 run
both lost their games. I stayed away

Miami scored only 2, but shutout Atlanta for the win...so I lose by playing the team total instead of the game moneyline

Bitter cold

**hotcross** · 05-18-18, 11:15 PM

by the way, some stats I looked at scared me away from the Cubs side of that game against Homer Bailey in Cincinnati, which should be a no brainer. Cubs score 3 in the top of first inning, and won the game 8-1

No clear vision of even the easiest spots right now

You're right.
Cincinatti stunk it up.

A little too busy to wager sports, lately.
Worked a grueling double yesterday, and I'm going in this morning.

Anyways, gotta run.
Before I go back to work, I like Yan Gomes against Kuechel for a stream.
Other than that, don't have much time for anything but work.

**hotcross** · 05-19-18, 11:10 PM

Angels are in a bad offensive slump

tend to think of them as a bad offense from recent years, but it looked like they were turning over a new leaf this year, with the help of some new faces like Ohtani and Cozart

**darrell74** · 05-20-18, 06:10 PM

San Diego Padres outfielder Travis Jankowski has six stolen bases in the last 15 days 17% owned

**hotcross** · 05-21-18, 03:05 PM

^^^Jankowski also has a .359 batting average currently, but he's out of today's lineup because he has severe splits, bad against LHP

Padres at Washington Nationals today who are starting Gio Gonzalez the lefty

**darrell74** · 05-21-18, 05:25 PM

Good observation

**darrell74** · 05-21-18, 05:27 PM

Nick Pivetta only 43 percent per owned.
Best pitcher going today.

**hotcross** · 05-21-18, 11:06 PM

You were right, Pivetta was the man, 7 innings, 4 hits, 0 runs, against the top offense in the NL so far - Atlanta Braves

Miles Mikolas with another great start for the Cardinals, 0 runs allowed against the lowly but intrastate rival Royals

Jason Vargas also surprised with 0 runs allowed, but against often weak Miami

**darrell74** · 05-22-18, 12:09 AM

^
Good notes

**darrell74** · 05-23-18, 11:04 AM

It's very hard to get a sweep in baseball. I recommend Kyle Gibson of the Minnesota Twins against the Detroit Tigers
25% owned
Gibson has great numbers against the Detroit Tigers lifetime

**darrell74** · 05-23-18, 11:09 AM

David Freese less than 1% owned
Rajai Davis less than 1% owned
Both have very good statistics against their starting pitchers

**hotcross** · 05-23-18, 03:06 PM

too late, gametime now but I'm rolling with Tyson Ross against the Nationals

**darrell74** · 05-23-18, 10:28 PM

Good call with Tyson Ross

**darrell74** · 05-24-18, 02:01 PM

Martin Prado 3b for Miami has good numbers against Max Sherzer, 1%< owned

**hotcross** · 05-24-18, 09:11 PM

Prado doesn't have much power, more of a singles guy. But if they're playing in Washington and the weather is right, it could help him go yard. Scherzer does give up the long ball from time to time.

**darrell74** · 05-25-18, 02:56 AM

You are right. I agree.

**darrell74** · 05-25-18, 12:10 PM

If you had to stream a pitcher, Angels Andrew Heaney.
Pitching decent, lately.
April 27th against Yankees, no decision with 9k's, 1 run
Might not win against Severino, however.

I would avoid Clayton Richard San Diego Padres.
Noticed he has been trending positive in acquisition because of his recent starts.
Problem I have is that he has bad numbers against the Dodgers.
400+ average against LAD hitting-ouch♤

**darrell74** · 05-25-18, 12:14 PM

Anybody know who the long relievers for Tampa are.
what a bargain against the Orioles.
won't even burn a start, could get some wins on the cheap

**hotcross** · 05-25-18, 04:46 PM

About your Tampa question, I don't have the exact answer. But the way I understand it, they are using whoever wad scheduled to start originally, but in the second inning onward, the point of it is with Rome starting then the top of the opponent's lineup won't see the real pitcher on the third time thru the lineup.

**darrell74** · 05-26-18, 04:31 AM

Thanks Hotcross
I still haven't figured out Tampa ,yet

**hotcross** · 05-26-18, 06:29 AM

your call with Martin Prado vs Scherzer was pretty amazing. Guy went 3 for 4 with a single, double, double and the game was played in Miami. Funny thing is after that, Prado still only has .194 batting average and .226 slugging on the season!

Good stream.
dropped him already
Theirs a guy in Texas I picked up by the name of Ronald Guzman, first baseman. Good numbers as of late 2% owned
batting 368, with 4 home runs in last 7 days

**hotcross** · 05-27-18, 10:48 AM

I started a thread in Players Talk on Friday asking for specific Homerun calls.

Want to wager on the Player Prop for the hitters who appear to have the best situation for a long-ball
