Great game, Sale sharp too.
Kluber more economical so far.

[stevenash]

Kluber is dealing

McCullers too.
That kid had a brilliant minor league career.
His debut was good.

(his old man could deal back in the day as well)

[stevenash]

McCuller's Batman Cleats

[stevenash]

You like good close baseball games?

Of the six MLB games in progress tonight, only one game is not tied: the Brewers-Tigers contest (Milwaukee leads Detroit 3-2 in the 8th inning). Four of the five games that are tied are knotted at 1, with two of those games in extras

[pilebuck13]

I know crazy rocks brews a's az and cards I got on ml

[stevenash]

I got whiplash from watching all this action.
Just a great night for baseball.
I tried handicapping every game, every game was too close to call is what I came up with.

Sure as shit, every game is one run or tied.
Amazing.

[mackave]

Out in the sun all day tried to watch a few games and looking at phone couldn't believe what was happening

[pilebuck13]

I'm little baby bet guy so totally agreeing with you match ups were crazy I'm a nfl guy or nba mostly starting to dabble with baseball there's just so much it makes my head spin ......what's your thoughts on the Mariners?

Doesn't matter if you are little bettor guy, they are the ones who always seem to make out well.

Mariners?
They are doomed.
I think Houston backslides, and Angels win the division going away.

Cruz is a beast, King is a beast, but that's where it pretty much ends.
Cano is overrated, Seagar is a nice third baseman, but if you take away Cruz, your second best hitter is at .264 and that would be Brad Miller. They hit .238 as a team.

Take away King, and your next best starter is JA Happ.

Their closer is not very trust worthy (Rodney)
And Carson Smith is their best reliever.

And people touting them for 100 wins this season, and I just laughed.

When Iwakuma went down, so did the M season.
And they weren't winning anything with him anyway.

[pilebuck13]

Your so right about the m's and to think everyone in Seattle was talking World Series lol

[Capybara]

What a night for great games -- and great cashing too for me, I hit nearly everything, including two 3-tm parlays and one two-teamer! If the Tribe had pulled one out it would have been an all-time night, but you never get everything.

Anyway, great action all around. My only personal killer is that I DEALT Corey Kluber in my fantasy league for a couple of "just a guys" two starts ago when he was getting bombed and I was thinking maybe he was just a one-year wonder. Umm, yeah, might have cost myself a championship there.

Good work there.
I couldn't find a play to play last night.
But My God, all the games were as good as it gets.

you do know Iwakuma is coming back right?

[stevenash]

So.....
I was looking at the over nights, and two things jumped right out.

The Twin Pirate game for starters.
If you are not into analytics, you might not know Twins hit LHP very well.

http://espn.go.com/mlb/team/stats/batting/_/name/min/split/31/minnesota-twins

Last season too.

Pirates start a LHP tonight in Liriano.

Twins start a hamburger tonight in Nolasco.
And he's just getting lit up all season.
Righty bats are hitting .385 off of him and get on base at a 44 percent clip (OBA .444)
That's just wrong on so many levels.
Harrison, Walker (Switch) McCutchen (who is starting to heat up) and Marte (who is has been tearing it up) are right handed sticks that should have their way with Nolasco tonight. And Corey Hart should DH tonight, he's a righty killer.

You can get this, +112 on the over 7.5 at 5D reduced juice.
I really think this game goes over, but the catch is Liriano is just as tough getting left handed hitters out as the Twins are hitting lefties.
But I can easily see Pitt scoring 5 or 6.
I get the feeling I am stepping into a trap, but I refuse to get mind fukked over a line.

The other game that jumped out at me is the Red Sox and Rangers, where Miley is a +135 favorite, who shouldn't be a favorite over any team, Fenway or no Fenway.Beltre is a lefty killer, and Miley is a gas can, Andrus hits lefties well.....
Rangers are a nice doggy spot play at first glance.
Gallardo matches up well here with Miley.

[stevenash]

you do know Iwakuma is coming back right?

I know this, it doesn't matter, they are buried.
They have no offense besides Cruz, you think Cano with his 1 home run and 11 RBi and .253 average is fearsome?

[stevenash]

you do know Iwakuma is coming back right?

I almost forgot, you are not only an idiot, but a retard.

[posey]

Nash, I don't want to say something bad, but something is wrong.

PIT plays at home, so no DH for them.

[RollinDo]

Nasher - I got 2 Unders and lost the Over (no surprise as I lose nearly every Over) last night.

Tonight I am going with these...

Tigers (-1) -140
Oakland (FF) -130
Oak-Hou (U 8) +100
StL-NY Mets (U 3.5 - FF) -110
SF ML +110

Thoughts on any of these?
May add No Score 1st in Cincy - KC game.

[OckertCR]

BoSox coming off a long road trip out west as well.

Just another reason to play texas as a dog

[Big Bear]

I almost forgot, you are not only an idiot, but a retard.

google it

Iwakuma will be back

3-4 weeks playa

Paxton and Walker are both pitching better and better every start

[daneblazer]

Mets +106
Tor/Laa over 9
Sea/Bal under 8.5
Atlanta -104

Lean Laa ...I think both of these pitchers get lit up like a Christmas tree

[mlb]

Dane - Mets my favorite play of the day - actually my first 3u play of the season

[daneblazer]

Cards struggle a bit vs lhp and have a higher k-rate vs them. I think Mets can keep it close and steal the win. I'm using Niese in a few DFS tournaments...gulp...

[stevenash]

Good catch, I am a retard.

I'll be nice, I know Iwakuma is coming back, I think they are too far buried.

[stevenash]

@Posey
No you are not doing anything wrong, it's my fault, I have to much data in front of me, lots of numbers, and I sometimes I rush to put thoughts to paper, in this case thread, and what comes out is not what I mean to put out, and I make silly inane istakes, like Pitt on the road, I need to slow down for the sake of accuracy.

@Bear
Knock off your inane posts, and go back to your old ways, we can co-exist, you are capable of participating in good chat, demonstrate that please.

Shileds tonight is my fantasy starter, at home in a pticher friendly part.
My sleepers are Chris Young hitting third, hits LHP well.
Grady Sizemore, hitting third, at Coors, facing a hamburger on the hill, and is swinging the bat well.

[stevenash]

Mets +106
Tor/Laa over 9
Sea/Bal under 8.5
Atlanta -104

Lean Laa ...I think both of these pitchers get lit up like a Christmas tree

Good plays, like them.

Kyle Blanks is a good sleeper tonight too

[stevenash]

BRAVES -103 tonight

Braves look too good to be true in this spot.
Lefties should kill this guy.
They have Markakis in the four hole for a reason, look for Nick and Freddy to go off.
Maybe even AJP

Jace Peterson(L) 2B
Pedro Ciriaco(R) 3B
Freddie Freeman(L) 1B
Nick Markakis(L) RF
Todd Cunningham(S) LF
A.J. Pierzynski(L) C
Andrelton Simmons(R) SS
Cameron Maybin(R) CF
Mike Foltynewicz(R) P

[Ra77er]

Busy day for me so late post but I like quite a few dogs this evening.

Minnesota +154 is so juicy
New York Yankees +132
Arizona +128
Cleveland +136
Houston +132



Tampa -107
Baltimore -119
Kansas City -118
Toronto -125

Still looking at LAD -118...SF playing well and home rivalry game so probably pass but LAD is tempting.

Good luck tonight to everyone!

[stevenash]

^
Minny is a dark sleeper, they do hit LHP

[stevenash]

Ugh, Folty gettting boxed around in the first inning.

[stevenash]

I hate the summa bitch, but Bryce Harper, JUST WOW

Clown boy finally putting it all together, can't stand him, but he has tons of fans.

Good for them and good for Harper.
(still not a fan, but he's good for the game.

[OckertCR]

unreal this faggott eovaldi

[stevenash]

^
Did not want any part of NYY tonight.
And I'm a fan, Gio will give them trouble, and Harper thinks he's Trout.

[stevenash]

Donaldson yelling f you and dikk my dikk got those blue birds all fired up. You will prob see replays with his mouth censored later
