    you're an underdog grinder. you'll probably split and make money on these two, but would be concerned about the fact that red sox are on 7 game losing streak and angels on 7 game winning streak. why should these streaks end today. fade.

    lines were inflated partially because of books wanting to stop streak players. so his model makes these 2 dogs playable (on sheer numbers) but laa richards coming off 2 hitter (vs red sox no less) has lowered his era nearly a run since early june despite two road losses. given up only 3 runs in last 23.2 at home. santana shut out oak in last but only had 1 k. cause for concern there. the red sox couldn't beat their triple a team right now. although miley brilliant last out. has been inconsistent, while astros pitcher has been very effective. hard to bet against him. beware of these two dogs. fade or pass.

    absolutely do not want to bash, criticize or troll LT. understand that his model works over the long run. gives him value (on mainly underdogs, which you should only play in this sport) agree that LAA line is way too high to play today, but they're not going to lose this with houston nipping at their heels. simply just parlay angels/astros and call it a day.

    If both favorites are -EV, parlaying them is not +EV.

    one thing LT's model does not account for is line-ups as many of his picks are made before line-ups are determined.

    but its a good model for determing value no doubt

    McCullers is a future ace man. Check him out. He has phenomenal stuff. He is still young and has some kinks to work out but he has a special arm.

    Seattle is looking mighty tempting today. In fact all 4 dogs in the early games might win.

    You're an idiot, Hinch has him on a strict innings/pitch count.

    what does that have to do with being a future ace?

    in fact him being on a strict pitch count (if that is even true) means that the organization has big plans for him.

    i never said anything about taking the Astros today. I was just responding to LT saying that McCullers might be due for a regression.... i didn't know if LT was implying that McCullers has been pitching over his head so far this year and that he didn't have the talent to sustain success at the big league level...

    all i am saying is McCullers IMO will be a front of the line starter in MLB very soon. He has swing and miss stuff.

    Seems I am not the only one liking all dogs tonight. Odds seem off tonight. Any reason for the Twins and Red Sox pick? Thanks LT

    shaky start? yes, he lost on road gave up 4 hits in 6 innings and struck out 10. how about his last 3 home game starts. 3-0 IP21 H8 ER2 BB5 K's23 hardly regressing. you need to dig into pitchers logs more.

    I mentioned the regression (and said "may have begun") because his rest-of-season ZiPS only has him with a 5.08 ERA and 4.73 FIP. Now, I have no idea why that would be, but it is what it is. http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx...120&position=P

    LT, how do you feel about the UNDER 7.5 at +100 in Yankees game with Tanaka and Ubaldo on the mound, and both teams having solid bullpens? ...and not to mention Yankees are hitting only .228 in day games

    ...Plus the UNDER has won in all 5 games at Yankee stadium after the all stars
