Saturdays MLB Card - Input Appreciated

ParlayininHTown · 06-07-14, 12:52 AM

Initial lean is Twins because of how Gibson pitches at home, but I'm weary of fading the surging Astros at that number.

farmhouse1 · 06-07-14, 12:58 AM

Jays, A's & dodgers look good to me still need to check lineups tomorrow but I do like the pitching advantages they have. Leaning Indians myself. Like this tomlin guy for the Indians. Numbers look solid.

RollinDo · 06-07-14, 01:18 AM

Though I like Indians too, keep in mind that when a team snaps a win streak of 5+ Games, they tend to lose 2 straight or more...at least what I've noticed this season.

Like Jays, Tigers (1st 5), Under 8, Dodgers, and keep riding hot Giants!

Does Greinke struggle at Coors?

farmhouse1 · 06-07-14, 01:23 AM

For the dodgers game I might just see how Grienke is doing and if the dodgers bats show up. If they do I won't hesitate grabbing them live early in the game. The Rockies pitcher they have starting tomorrow has some poor numbers and I would think the dodgers should have no problems putting up some runs on the righty. It's just if Grienke shows up or not really for me.

Man Bartolo colon has been pitching very well lately. Game could come down to the bullpens again which the giants have a huge edge in over the mets.

Dodgers should get the win, but yes Greinke does struggle at Coors, and strangely enough I don't think the pitiful playing Rockies are getting swept this series, which means after Ryu, there remains only Greinke and Kershaw. Both of them struggle at Coors, and by the way things have been going in late May and June, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Rockies break out of their L streak against one of them.

Interesting. Just think both teams are going in opposite directions. Plus Rockies put Carlos Gonzalez on the 15 DL. Huge loss for them in my opinion.

The way Rockies been playing and with that atrocious pitching they have why can't they get swept by a much better dodgers team?

Bear,
Do not understand how you can really make decisions on bets without lineups and weather for each game.
Secondly, way too many games. Hard to win when betting so many, pick 1 or 2 and zero in with larger play.

I never bet on Grinke of been scarred by him for years but it's a decent point usually when he gets hit it's from the very beginning on and if he has a strong first-inning that's usually how he fares the rest the game as well

Early Leans

Jays/Cards over ( Buehrle vs Miller)

Rangers / Indians over ( Tomlin vs Tepesch)

Dodgers / Rockies over ( Greinke vs Chacin)

Reds/ Phillies over ( Simon vs Hernandez)

ML Sides Leans

Jays ( Buehrle) over Cardinals ( Miller)

Royals (Duffy) over Yankees (Phelps)

A's (Gray) over Orioles ( Gausman)

Dodgers (Greinke) over Rockies ( Chacin)

Indians ( Tomlin) over Rangers ( Tepesch)

Don't know what to think about Tigers (Mad Max) vs Red Sox ( Lester)

Anyway need some input... Also need to narrow this down

anyone know if Cuddyer / Cargo will play tomorrow for the Rox?

Can this Gausman guy shut down Oakland? These Orioles hitters havent seen Gray much but when they did see him they hit him.

Royals bats always worry me

Can Shelby Miller keep the Cards in the game? Going to be a nice day in Toronto tomorrow the ball should be carrying well. Matt Holiday will be a little sore tomorrow as he got drilled in the shoulder.. wonder if that will affect his swing tomorrow?

Bear how can you have opinions on ever game??

I will have a few good ones later

Greinke at Coors: 17.2 IP, 4.58 ERA, 1.81 WHIP, opp SLG% .515. Like over there, a little concerned with the rain but love the ump. Porter should squeeze Greinke.

They can and should most definitely get swept by the Dodgers, but the way the past 30 days have been in baseball I wouldn't be surprised to see otherwise. Who would have expected for Cueto and the Reds to get blown out 8-0 by the Phillies, regardless of Hamels pitching or not? 8-0 by the Phillies is a nightmare. The Rockies have good success against both Greinke and Kershaw at home. The Dodgers bullpen isn't the strongest in the world either right now.

That's a lot of "leans"

Another point is Greinke has a 6.00 era the past 7 days

Zack Greinke is notorious for being a much better starter at home than he is on the road. The right-hander is 3-2 with a 4.36 ERA in nine career starts against the Rockies. In his last two starts at Colorado, Greinke has allowed nine earned runs and 25 base runners over 10 1/3 innings for a 7.84 ERA and 2.420 WHIP.
