Better add some flair so PT takes me seriously.

a) Slowey is a better than .500 lifetime pitcher pitching for crappy Twins teams. His lifetime ERA and WH/IP is at NL league average, and he has a better than league average K/9 pct.

b) If you lose this wager, and it could happen, you would have to win your next three consecutive chalky-chalk plays just to get even, and if you don't, your bankroll is crippled.

c) Miami can actually hit Latos, who is a nice starter, but nowhere close to a Verlander, Kershaw, Price, CC.
Hell, he's nowhere close to the Scherzer's of the world.

Actually, I mostly play dogs. Last season I wound up +14.5 units-ish on about 100 plays (3u plays max, I don't do that LakerBoy 1,000 unit airbet shizz.) Did you guys read the thread title? I don't normally lay this much chalk, this one just adds up.
