    Lots of MLB Good Favorites Friday

    Bumgarner and Giants going against Locke and Pirates, Lackey and Cards vs. a poor Padres team, Cueto and Royals vs Red Sox, Price and Jays vs. Santiago and Angels.

    Just laid a bunch on Giants, Cards, Royals, and Jays, and a bunch of parlays interspersed between the four teams.
    Feel most confident in Royals winning, with the other three feeling like solid wins.

    Cueto is a beast, Royals are great, and Red Sox pitcher is young and garbage. Worried about Red Sox bats heating up, but with Cueto on the mound that should be minimized. Royals.

    Santiago is great for Angels, but Price + Blue Jays is the best pitcher + lineup combo in the MLB right now, gotta take them. Plus Blue Jays just got a rest day so all starters should be in. Line is around -150 and I bet it's around -175 by game time. Blue Jays.

    Lackey isn't great on the road compared to home, but he's been very good overall this year, and Cashner + Padres is nothing to be scared of for this Cardinals team. At -123, gotta take the best team in MLB, even with an injured lineup, vs. this Padres team. Cardinals.

    Bumgarner has been LIGHTS OUT his last two starts, and basically I'm banking on him just having another great game. Locke is a decent pitcher, but I feel like Bumgarner should be the difference here. He has off games, but that's gambling. Giants.

    All four are road teams, so I know this is ballsy and maybe not the greatest of plays, anything can happen to road teams. But I look it as all these teams would be juiced up a bunch higher if they were at home, and they're still favorites for a reason, so I still like all the plays.

    Who's with me!!

    No chance Jays get to -175 unless Trout is out. If it does pound the Angels.

    We will see my friend. Right now it's at -146 on 5Dimes, and I'd bet money that it's at least over -155 tomorrow. I can see it settling in around -170, -175.

    Blue Jays got up to -156 before I hit the hay last night but now back down to -144. We'll see where it ends up!

    Sidenote, other 3 I'm on are Brewers +154 (now +132), Twins/Orioles Under 8.5, and Rangers/Tigers Over 8.5. But the 4 games above are what I'm biggest on.

    As an Angels fan I would not advise betting them. Even with there 3 game win streak over white sox there bats were non existent. Trout is super cold and no one ever gets on base consistently. I'm leaning Jays but with my luck in MLB you might as well pound Angels.

    Yeah man Angels bats are so non-existent. A few nights they'll have 3 for 4 guys homer, but normally they get 2-3 runs. Pujols being alright, Trout in a slump, and then a bunch of below-average players. Just a poor lineup. And Jays are beasts.

    And yes guys, I realize Cardinals can lose, that's the name of the game, sports gambling. But I think they win tonight. Not that Lackey + Cards lineup is anything to be scared of, but Cashner + Padres isn't at all, and Cards are the better team with better pitcher. We'll see. Let's go 3 for 4.

    I'm trying to give myself some good luck by just hoping for 3 for 4, but yes, 4 for 4 is the goal


    JJ I'm on one dog, Brewers, but I got them at +154 and thye're at +134 now so I don't see the value in playing them. There's just lots of really good teams playing decent or sub-par teams tonight. Giants vs Pirates is the one game where both teams are great, but with Bumgarner on the mound I'm hoping they get the win tonight.

    Thanks marley.

    Giants 3-0 in the 1st. Could be enough for Bumgarner, great start.

    Cards up 1-0, Jays up 3-0, if they both win I'll go 3-1 and make 1.5 units on those games. I also had twins/orioles under and Brewers +154 so as long as cards and jays win ill have a good night

    Yeah doesn't look good. I was worried Lackey would have a bad game, and he looked good through 4 but then gave in, shit.

    5-3... Eh, better than 5-1. Jays game is basically over, so Probably gonna go 2-2 and take a decent-sized hit with the juice on these 4 plays.
