    Why Are The Phillies Favorites Today?

    This is a high number in my opinion...

    Keller was a gas can earlier, but I think he’s settling in with nothing to lose.

    Pirates playing the spoiler role...

    I sure don’t trust Phils starter. Seems like he always has a inning where he unravels.

    Havnt really looked at it yet. For the most part only been following a few teams recently. I cut way back on bases this time of the year. I’ll take a quick look.

    Era of a 23 year old w only a handful of starts don’t mean much. Kid striking out almost 11 per 9 and did so in minors all season as well. Clearly has good stuff, avg fastball over 95mph. His hard hit rate a good 10%ish lower than Vasquez.

    Have you seen Keller throw?

    I don’t bet Unders. Unders can lose in the first inning, Overs always have a chance...

    True in all sports. Overs and Unders

    Lol. That one way to look at it I suppose. I’ve always had more success w unders in pretty much every sport myself. Just easier for me to pick out lower scoring games I guess. Although I have drastically changed that approach in nfl and college fb the last 5+ years cause I got killed playing unders back when they started shifting everything to offense.

    Far as Keller, no I havnt seen. Just going off numbers.

    Love these rookies, Phi is a top play today, they lost last game, Vince got rocked last game(on the faken road), not gonna happen tonight at home.

    Learn from the best fish, adapt or die.

    Cheers, L33T!

    I honestly don’t see much reason to love Philly tonight. It not like they some great team you can trust to bounce back. I’m not playing it either way tho so gl:

    For what it's worth I have Philly winning outright, by percentages that equate to about a run in this situation.

    Since you tend to look at shorter term it's fair to disclose that over the last 100 plays, the raw forecast in this situation is down about -7.5 units although it is still up about +5 units over the last 200 plays.

    Bets seem to be on Philly too, but that's no doubt partly due to a combo of Pit sucking ass and Philly still being a bit of a public ride.

    Good Luck today.

    Strikeout props might be interesting in this game. I never play those, just a thought.

    Yeah its just a combination of being rocked on the road then regroup after a loss at home with motivation for playoffs, line should be -180 IMHO...

    It doesn't guarantee it wins but u get the point

    Motivation a tricky thing. I honestly think it does harm as often as it helpful.

    I think u misinterpret it with a MUST win game, this is just a bunch of "little" things together, should be good

    This one is pretty straightforward. Like we're saying, public on Philly and it was enough to push it past +135. I have enough relative volume from my reports and sources. The one point raw forecast was adjusted downward a little as well. Once the threshold of volume was hit and nothing really changed, value was found. I think I could have waited and even picked up +140, but it'snot necessary, +135 was good enough.

    Also, I can identify what I consider RLM caused by what I consider fairly sharp trades. Regardless of the trades, the slight RLM in some noteworthy corners exist.

    That's one of the most straightforward ways the Fund works, but there are a few others, this game follows the above though.
