Nash 2015 MLB Thread

[stevenash]

Quick question nash... what would be best fanduel lineup for tonight game..predicting which games will be high Scoring

Sorry, I did see this until now.
I'll address Fan Duel in a little bit, you set FD lineups pretty much the same way you handicap games.

Last week of the month, leading into month end is real busy time at work, I'm not always available.

[stevenash]

nash which are ur calls for today?

I appreciate your pm, I don't think SBR allows me to give out my information, PM or no PM.

Last week of the month I am always busy at work, especially Friday (tommorrow) when we close out the month.

[STAX]

Mariners have won 5 of 6 and Paxton has been dealing.

I love the M's tonight

Imo, I wouldnt bet against Kluber unless Im getting +150... he is dealing right now...M's didnt touch Archer, and Kluber is every bit as dynamic as him... If you believe in Paxton then I think under is the play. The Indians are playing very good ball of their own. Won 7 of 9 and scored 4+ in 7 of those... and only given up over 3 runs once. Their bullpen is slowly coming together as is Seattle's. This game has 2-1 or 3-2 written all over it.

How the hell can you love the M's against a guy who is averaging like 16 K's his last 2 starts lol.

Also, I think SBR reads PM's

[SteveKerrsJunk]

Kluberlicious tonight.

[stevenash]

What are the 2 best run totals to do this evening. I am liking Pitt and Angels so far

You mean to go 'over' the posted totals?

*not directed at you.
Why would anybody fade Cleveland tonight?

[stevenash]

Kluberlicious tonight.

What's troubling is everybody and their puppy dog is on Cleveland tonight.
And we all know hoe that usually turns out.

[STAX]

A play I like:

San Diego +118 1st 5 innings...and under 3.5 first five innings.

I'm kind of putting some stock in Ian Kennedy here. He's getting dangerously close to put up or shut up time. He hasnt been the pitcher the Padres need in order to contend. I think he's going into this game with the mindset of... My goal is to have a quality start. The staff is going to pull him at the first sign of trouble and Ian knows it. I think he goes into this game with a bulldog attitude, and gives the team 5, maybe 6 strong innings. AJ Burnett on the other hand has been superb, I look for a 1-0 or 2-1 game after 5 innings, what happens after that is anyone's guess.

Pirates are on a roll, and San Diego won the last 2 of the Angels series... and they needed it. They took the short trip home and waited for Pittsburgh to travel cross country. Even during the last few wins for both teams, they had gotten off to slow starts in basically all the games. San Diego been scoreless twice through 5 innings in the last 3 games. I think they get a run or two off Burnett tonight, coming back home. Pittsburg may come out lazy with an error or two...

What if you're puppy dog is a German Sheppard though Nash.

[Ra77er]

I love Cleveland as well, lets cash this thing.

Who knows what will happen, I flipped a coin and it said pirates. I flipped another coin and this one said Braves. I flipped another and it said Indians.

My puppy dogs can't stand sheppards, that's always a nasty showdown.
Only breed they don't get along with.

Yeah those GS's can be nasty. Still on board with Indians and the public, prepared for a burial.

[tennis005]

I was talking about team totals... which teams will most likely score 4 or more...few low scoring late games lately.... everyone is on tribe? I thought I saw them drop on my sportsbook

[tennis005]

Shelby owning giants does that continue?

[tennis005]

Most of the Team run totals are at 3 or 3.5 and a few at 4. Does low scoring late games continue? Atlanta is at 3 runs and Detroit is 3.5. Those stand out to me. In the top 10 hottest run scoring teams in Majors the last 7 days are Giants 3rd, Tribe 4th, yanks 6th, Pitt 7th. Angels are 11th and 12th. They are averaging all averaging over 4 runs a game.

pfffft... 3-0 Pirates middle of the 1st... this play is fukked.

[SteveKerrsJunk]

Kennedy is hot garbage. His cousin Shew at USF is better lol.

[STAX]

HeyNash is this Eduardo Rodriguez guy supossed to be good? Throwing a gem tonight in his first start. Had a small play on Rangers too

[STAX]

Kennedy is hot garbage. His cousin Shew at USF is better lol.

No shit, Padres gotta start thinking about moving him to the pen.

[Vasco]

Twins to continue to rake vs lefties tonite, but Jays are tough. They'll hit May. Liking the over 8.5 there.

[stevenash]

pfffft... 3-0 Pirates middle of the 1st... this play is fukked.

They won I thought.

OK, I'm back.
Buried at work all week.

[Vasco]

White sox look like a decent underdog play. Not sure if this jays game gets played haven't checked weather update again.

[reaclast]

yeahh nash back, lets win today

[stevenash]

Best Plays for Satuday (afternoon games)

Mets/Marlins over 7.5 is the best total IMO on the day docket.
Marlins actually hit LHP pretty good, and Niese is the type of LHP they like to smack around.
Slappy Dee Gordon hits LHP,and Prado, so does Ozuna and his power.
If Ichiro starts, even though he's 100 years old, he's still a .400 stick. He's been killing lefties since his Japan days.
Then you have the Stanton factor.....

And Koehler for Miami really doesn't scare anybody either.

Yeah, I think the 7.5 here is easily obtainable.

That's the play.

The lean is Reds over also.
Still looking at that.

[STAX]

Stanton actually very poor vrs lefties. 1 HR all year...

[RollinDo]

Locked in Giants +1000 to win NL...Took my winnings with Giants last 2 times I backed them and put 1.5 units on this.
Now have StL +650 to go with this...I know this was the match - up last season and odds are it won't repeat...no guarantee either makes it out of 1st round even...but I like the chances!

[stevenash]

Stanton actually very poor vrs lefties. 1 HR all year...

I understand that, but 11-27 . 407 and 3 of those 11 are bombs of the Mets starter.
Loves to face Niese.

[Ra77er]

Does anyone know where I could find double split team stats such as Team A vs LHP AND away (combined). Team rankings, espn, cbs, mlb do not have this kind of information, only VS L or away etc. Thanks for any help!
