[allabout the $$$]

I like Yankees today and will play them !! [-150] in Vegas morning paper !!

you got a terrible line its dropped to -115 every where

[eddycash]

Got it at -110, I think I'm donating money to the church of baseball

[KawadaKicks17]

Got it at -110, I think I'm donating money to the church of baseball

At least you get a church session and the whole rest of the day to get that money back though.

[KawadaKicks17]

Steve what do you think of the Brewers/Phillies game? I've been looking at MIL.

[eddycash]

OK hopefully that donation brings us good luck/ karma the rest of the day

[stevenash]

Hate it, just looked at the score, just walked in the house, now I know why I hated it, hate the starters.

Seattle Mariners (Paxton) -112 over Angels (Quintana)

Hit our Angel run line wager yesterday for 2.1 *

YTD 7-2 +12.18*

The casusal east coast baseball fan probably doesn't know yet who James Paxton is, the casual west coast fan is probably familiar, the died in the wool baseball junkie knows James Paxton is a monster.

Paxton is in the rotation because of injuries to Iwaguma and Walker, Paxton is in the rotation because he desereves and belongs. He's already in my opinion in the group of up and comers like Sonny Gray, Tony Cingrani, Wacha, Lynn et. al

Canadian LHP, pitched for the Kentucky Wildcats.
Features a dirty 96 mph four seamer that jumps, sings, and dances.

He's making his sixth major league big boy start tonight, at home, pitcher friendly Safeco.

Last season he made four starts in September.

He shutout in six innings the NL Champ Cardinals. In another start last September he struck out 10 Royals in seven innings, no earned runs, 4 hits, no walks.
Think about that, Royals mash lefties, they are stacked with Gordon and Butler and Hosmer, and they could not touch the kid. The Cards had Beltran, and Carpenter, and Holliday, and Molina et al, and they could not touch him.
He beat Tampa and that line up with Longoria and Myers, and the rest in his debut, easily.
Tigers touched him up some in his only off outing, hey, you face Miggy and Prince and the rest, and you only give up 3 earned runs, in your only loss, I have no problem with that.

So last season he faces Tampa's lineup, KC, Cards, and Tigers, and pretty much has their way with them

Paxton's start last week was against the same team he faces tonight.
Pitched seven full, struck out nine, allowed two hits, none earned.
Yeah, he's legit, knocking on the door of 'big time'

Tonight is the rematch, same Angel stater Hector Santiago.
Servicable, at best, lefty, and I'm being kind.

Mariner's bats smacked him in the M win.

Listen, I am not going to get long winded here, Paxton has been unreal in his six starts in the big leagues

He's 5-0
His ERA is 0.95 his WH/IP is 0.79, he a seven inning starter, he strikes out almost one an inning, his arsenal is filthy, he's smart for a kid, he knows how to both throw and pitch, he's gonna be real good, no he's already real good.

Quintana is very hittable, this is proven, Mariners have improved their offense, Mariners are at home.
For these reasons I am on the M's at a very reasonable -112 price tag.

My concern, Angels are a experienced professional hitting team, so they may make adjustments, like work the count on him.

I have no problem getting up on the Paxton horse again in the rematch tonight.

MARINERS -112 2*

You don't have to tail, but I think this result will be the same as the first result.

Best of luck all.
Shout out to my home state girls, UConn basketball women.
Men got theirs last night, you go get yours, Huskies growl, bark and bite.

Peace all

Gl thanks for the write up

[stevenash]

Beast, waiting on a brain fart, because all phenoms have a brain fart, just not tonight.

Nash out of curiosity how old are you? What got me curious was the avatar pic. I'm actually very familliar with that team and its history as well and it was technically before my time (was alive, but very young)...so I dunno why age even matters lol. But still sort of curious. How long have you been studying baseball like you do now? Do you have a favorite team?

Killers are my favorite band, I am a lttile older than than you think, but still too young to give a shit.
I have been obscessed with baseball since I was seven, I have been studying if for at least a quarter century, my favorite team is NYY, because I was born and grew up around NYC, but I am a baseball fan first, and a Yankee fan second.

[TankHankerous]

The first time I heard Mr. Brightside I was a junior in high school

[Sixla]

Great info on Paxton! Dude is on a heater lately! Lets go M's.

[FreddDS]

Love the analysis! You've gained a fan in me, that's for sure. Jumping on board. Really like what your doing stevenash, keep it up!

[Simon Gruber]

The best band is TOOL. It's actually not even close.

[TankHankerous]

Sick fan-made music video

[Simon Gruber]

f\*\*k YEAH HANK

[stevenash]

OK, I love my music too, but the subject at hand is baseball.
Speaking of which, first pitch time in Seattle

[stevenash]

Love the analysis! You've gained a fan in me, that's for sure. Jumping on board. Really like what your doing stevenash, keep it up!

Thanks, appreciate the words.

[Simon Gruber]

that was fun for about 5 seconds. This guy is trash.

[jay89]

tough to bet against an offense that's rolling

[Simon Gruber]

So much for Paxton. Seattle will have to find some other way to win this game.

[JonEJet]

You do realize a baseball game is actually 9 innings, don't you?

[2daBank]

tough to bet against an offense that's rolling

By that logic nobody would ever lose..

[Simon Gruber]

Yeah, I also realize that the chances of coming back from a 3 run deficit with a suspect offense in a pitcher's park are not good.

[stevenash]

This guy is trash.

Have you seen what he has done in his first five starts?
He has a rocky first inning and he's trash? What about his first 30 innings?

You do know he's won every decision since he came up.?

[2daBank]

Yeah, I also realize that the chances of coming back from a 3 run deficit with a suspect offense in a pitcher's park are not good.

C'mon man, the guy puts a lot of time into sharing his reasoning on plays and he does quite well. Regardless of the outcome of this gm this really not called for and honestly classless as it bad enough to lose w/o having to hear about it from someone who decided for themselves to tail.

[stevenash]

Yeah, I also realize that the chances of coming back from a 3 run deficit with a suspect offense in a pitcher's park are not good.

Against a Hector Santiago is not exactly Cy Young.

Please stop crying. I am not going to win every selection, and Paxton every start, but it was the play here, even if it goes south and we won't know if it goes south for another 8 more innings, so I suggest, calm down, relax, and see how the next eight aforementioned innings do go

[2daBank]

Havnt really paid any attention to halo gms this season. Is their pen still garbage?

[Simon Gruber]

Guy gave up a home run to David Freese. Biggest piece of shit on the planet.

[TankHankerous]

that was fun for about 5 seconds. This guy is trash.

Still time for him to settle in, it's going to be up to the offense to score some runs. Stop being such a negative bitch-boy when thing aren't going your way... you won't make it as a man in this life if you can't bypass obstacles.

With that being said good luck to all that tail this thread as steve WILL provide valuable info when it comes to baseball handicapping. I'm here for good vibes and info so don't roon it with your whining bullshit during a bad inning

[2daBank]

Guy gave up a home run to David Freese. Biggest piece of shit on the planet.

He is a World Series MVP. Have you accomplished more?
