I'm feeling the dog days of sumner, just staying patient looking for a real good spot

Likewise.
All 3 pitchers I picked, pitched well enough to win, but only one does it.

**hotcross** · 07-25-18, 12:59 PM

I'm on Washington today to win in Milwaukee. Tanner Roark is starting, which has been more than scary, but they look to have a deep lineup today, after not starting several regulars yesterday, which the Brewers won in extra innings by 5-4 score.

Looking good, 7-0 lead heading into the 7th

**darrell74** · 07-26-18, 03:19 AM

Derrick Rodriguez, starting pitcher for the San Francisco Giants had 6 straight quality starts. 30%owned

**hotcross** · 07-26-18, 05:47 PM

^^^kinda wonder with him, if it's because the opposition hasn't faced him before / no book of notes the first time against him. He has performed very solid, but does not get a high number of strikeouts, 92 mph fastball is good not great velocity....he's avoided giving up homeruns and decent control averaging 2 walked batters per game.

Very good stats, i like it

-108 last night
Now, (45minutes before 1st pitch) -115

quality start, but lack of run support and a crummy bullpen doesn't help

**hotcross** · 07-27-18, 07:44 PM

wasn't able to stay awake for the game, but yeah the Giants have put a weird lineup out there some nights.

Tonight they are only -125 favorite with Madison Bumgarner starting, and he has performed pretty well....but again, he hasn't been going deep into games like he used to be able to, thus the bullpen opens it up for a complete crapshoot. Giants lineup looks more robust tonight, so I'm surprised about this line -125 but what do I know

**darrell74** · 07-29-18, 02:52 AM

Again I got to go with Clay Buchholz for a stream spot start
He is in a really good spot to go against a weak San Diego offense
28%owned

Also a fan of betting -110 on the Diamondbacks

right before gametime I'm posting this

Toronto starter Ryan Borucki looking for his first win in his hometown at the Chicago White Sox

good enough for me at +111 ML

Good call on the Jays
We both got w's good day for us

Kole Calhoun 28% owned and he has raked!!!

in the last week

**hotcross** · 07-31-18, 06:00 PM

UNDER 4.5 -115 CLE@MINN // first five innings
Trevor Bauer at Kyle Gibson

Cleveland hitters are 3 for 35 against Gibson this year

**hotcross** · 07-31-18, 11:38 PM

the wager won, but no thanks to Gibson, he's too shaky, never lock-down

3-1 Cleveland end 5th, with a final score 6-2

Trevor Bauer looking like a Cy Young candidate. His W/L only 10-6 on the year but has 2.34 ERA

A win is a win. Do this enough, you know it's just about being on the right side.
"Bauer Outage" has been very good, maybe get some Cy Yong votes.

**darrell74** · 08-01-18, 01:02 AM

Tomorrow I'll take a chance with Mike Fiers of the Detroit Tigers only 28% owned.
Fires has better numbers than Corky Romano of the Cincinnati Reds
I'm tempted to lay the - 115 Lumber to take the Tigers for the game

**darrell74** · 08-01-18, 02:49 PM

line drive off the shin and only 2 innings.

wasted start

**darrell74** · 08-02-18, 06:00 AM

Will Smith, relief pitcher of the San Francisco Giants had been racking up saves lately
28% owned
Sub 2 e.r.a., sub 1 w.h.i.p

**hotcross** · 08-02-18, 07:43 PM

All the trends for the SF@Arizona game point to 7.5 Under. Also the pitching matchup Bumgarner at Greinke.

So I'm selling 1.5 runs to go Over 9 at +180 odds. Make it worth my while if it hits.

Giants have won 3 in a row, so although they don't have good history against Greinke, maybe they can keep some momentum going.

**darrell74** · 08-04-18, 02:54 AM

This time of year it's really hard to find a player that isnt highly own that's playing very well.
This is what I got: Oakland Athletics catcher Jonathan Lucroy has very good numbers lifetime against Jordan Zimmerman of the Detroit Tigers he's only 26% owned.
Maikel Franco third baseman for the Phillies. 54% owned he's had a hell of a week so if he isn't picked up in your League, you should probably grab him. Plus he has a great matchup tomorrow to against the pitcher Jose Irena of the Marlins

**hotcross** · 08-04-18, 02:04 PM

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.

**darrell74** · 08-07-18, 04:01 AM

Players I like that are less than 40 % owned
Andrew Heaney starting pitcher for the Angels tomorrow-tigers can't hit on this road trip they are on
Pedro Strop, relief pitcher for the Cubs- racked up several saves in a very short amount of time
Nick Ahmed, shortstop for the Diamondbacks. 350+average, and 4 homers in the last 2 weeks.

**hotcross** · 08-07-18, 07:31 PM

I went big on the Over yesterday in Anaheim and got boned by the Tigers not pulling their weight, losing 6-2. They have pretty good previous numbers against Heaney tho.

Don't trust the Tigers. Feel like they're in tank mode

**darrell74** · 08-08-18, 10:00 AM

Catcher for the San Diego Padres AJ Ellis doesn't play very much, but he goes against Jhoulis Chacin whom he is 7 / 17 lifetime
maybe he plays

**hotcross** · 08-08-18, 03:49 PM

a lot of teams released lineups super-early for the later games today. Ellis not in for the Padres, they have Austin Hedges catching and batting fifth

**hotcross** · 08-09-18, 07:43 PM

game just starting in Colorado tonight

I've got the Over and the home team. Ross Stripling just coming off the 10-day DL toe injury, coupled with these teams generally go way Over the total when playing in Denver.

hopefully can break my slump

**darrell74** · 08-09-18, 10:54 PM

Clay Bucholz does a lot of winning. Only 51% owned
pick him up if available ,still, for a spot start tomorrow

Just checking in.
I took the Dodgers and the over
Pirates and the over after I got off work, today.

I didn't like the way Colorado choked against the Pirates, late yesterday
However, I didn't know Jansen was out. Would have changed my mind.
Right now L.A. leads in the ninth 8-5, I might be lucky

Got lucky today.
each parlay wagered 20 bucks.
One won 48
The other 68
Good day for me

**hotcross** · 08-10-18, 05:49 PM

friggin Colorado bullpen blew it yesterday again. Seemed they had the late momentum in the game on the go-ahead homerun by Ianetta, if there is such a thing as momentum in a baseball game....but the bullpen gave up 5 homers (I think it was 5) to the Dodgers in that game.

Probably will take the Over again tonight.

**hotcross** · 08-11-18, 12:10 AM

Didn't play the Over, but didn't follow-up and play Colorado side either....they won 5-4 on Friday night.

You mentioned Buchholz again, I thought he might finally get shelled in Cincinnati, but no he performed well. Cincy did win the game 3-0 but it wasn't his fault. Clay doing great work this year.

I like Jack Flaherty of of the St Louis Cardinals as their starting pitcher going against the Kansas City Royals
I also like the Cardinals run line at even money

**hotcross** · 08-11-18, 06:19 PM

I'm playing that St.Louis runline based on your recommendation, also they have just been dominating this interleague series with the Royals in the recent past.

More heavily I like the Under 8 in Houston, will depend on if they bomblast Wade LeBlanc or not.

**hotcross** · 08-11-18, 11:51 PM

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.
