Pitt with Liriano over SD and Stultz.
Both SD pitcher and team outclassed by Pirates pitcher and team.
Understand that SD has been hitting the ball so much better, still doesn't change the fact they are in a mismatch here.
Line is -162
Reds with Simon over Marlins with Brad Penny
Like the Padres and Pirates, Marlins are so outclassed with Penny.
Brad Penny has not thrown a major league pitch since 2012, has not made a major league start since 2011.
He was a hamburger when he was making regular starts in 2011 and 2012, I really don't think after a 2 year layoff he's going to convert into Cy Young and outduel up an up and coming Simon.
You mean to tell me pitching is so thin in this world Miami's only choice is to dust off Brad Penny?
Line is -142 there.
Both favorites I am using are home teams.
There are times when betting parlays in baseball is a good thing.
Oh sure, the risk is you are asking two teams to win to collect one wager, however, you can take the bite out of the books edge in betting them too.
If you were to bet each team straight up, in this case, Pirates and Reds, you would have to put up 100 to win 70.42 on the Reds at -142, and put up 100 to win 61.73 on the Pirates at -162.
If both teams won, you would get back your 200 dollars (100, twice) plus 131.
If the parlay hits, at 100 dollars at -162 and -142 that parlay pays 176.
For a 100 dollar risk, you are looking at 176 dollar return for your 100.
if you bet both individual games seperate, you are risking 200 to win 131 (61 +70)
If, one of the two seperate wagers loses and one wins, say Pitt wins, you collect a profit of 61, but Reds lose, you are out the 100. In this case you collect 61, but lose 100 for a net loss of 39 dollars.
Oh sure, you lose the 100 if the parlay goes one and one, but, like I said, you are still taking a bite out of the books edge, the cavaet is, both teams have to win.
Like I said, I like both teams straight up tonight, both at home, both have better teams and better pitchings.
100 dollar parlay
1* pays 1.76*
