The pressure on Ohtani in his first major league start - the cameras, the crowd, the media, the microphones - will be absolutely enormous.
He didn't pitch much in Spring Training but when he did it was an abomination:
2 2/3 innings
9 runs (8 earned)
27.00 ERA
The Angels have INSISTED on starting him here despite many scouts saying he should have started in Triple A. His reviews as of now, have not been glowing from the mound.
The problem is obvious after inspection: The ball in the MLB is slicker and has seems that are less thick when compared to the Japanese ball. Also the mound is higher and softer causing control issues for a pitcher coming from over seas.
And even after all the above, the books believed the public would bite on Ohtani even with chalk on the road. They were right (but their uncertainty is obvious as this line wasn't even out on 5Dimes at midnight last night as I continued to check). In short, the books don't know what to expect and we get + money.
Nothing great to say about the A's here. This is a pure fade of Ohtani.
He may get the hook early but even if he doesn't, I get the game at home at +116 and perhaps a couple runs padding. That's good enough for a massive fade against a pitcher with enormous pressure in his first MLB start being hailed as a modern day Babe Ruth!

No. It is an angle I'll never have again (1st start with unparalleled hype can't be duplicated) so I'll have to grin and bear the change.
Irabu's debut was gigantic.
Tanaka's debut was even more gigantic.
In terms of the setting where those two occurred (with the Yankees), the Yanks ill always make things bigger than they are because that comes with the city itself. But neither of those pitchers was heralded on the level this pitcher is. Which adds to the pressure. Yes a ball game is 9 innings but MLB betting is dictated by starters and I have to take the one chance to fade the starter here.

I don't play NBA/NFL halftimes or MLB first 5's. I just don't have experience or knowledge of the trends and nuances therein on such bets because I only study full game betting. But yes, such. suggestion is quite understandable.

A's +116 over Angels
Best plays might be:
A's 1st 5 Innings +120
A's Team Total Over 4
If you really think Ohtani is going to be that bad. That avoids Angels coming back and winning 9-7 on the entire game. Love the angle, but if you feel Ohtani gets hammered, he might be out in 2 innings after giving up 4 runs and someone much more seasoned comes in and Angels end up winning.

ANYONE who tails your selections is an utter fool. But you are DUE to win one as you hit 22% of plays like this. GL. It feels like OVER is the better play and Ohtani just may get shelled like you say but every "special" play you post loses at an amazing rate.

Every play I post is special.
Because I provide a detailed write-up, inspire conversation and thought and debate, and ultimately make a lot of people a lot of money as I did for 2 years literally paying people's mortgages at 65%.
You'll be gone in about a month...forever. Seeya and thanks for adding nothing. Lol.
