I may not have anything today, we will see, but I thought it important
to get everything straight and accurate. As for scratching the Dodgers-D-backs,
anyone that has known me any length of time knows there are no action plays in
baseball, pitchers are always specified. “action”
baseball bets are more stupid than not caring who your quarterback is in a
football game.

Does going home stand as a magic cure for everything ailing a team? I
don’t think so. The Braves are a pathetic offensive team and are just as
capable of not scoring at home as anywhere else. In their last 15 versus righty
in the 5 inning game they are just 3-7-5 with an oera of just 2.00 runs per
game. Seven of the 15 were at home and they play a little better there at 2-3-2
and 2.09 but it all still adds up to pathetic offense. Their “All Star Outfield”
now contains only one all star and he has to be stroked and coddled to get that
kind of performance out of him. You can’t dump the other two thirds of that
outfield on anyone. The brewers can be mystifying at times but they are 5-2-1
with a 4.01 oera and that is plenty to make them a playable dog with a Peralta (3-5,
69.7) versus Minor (67.9, 1-2) matchup.

Is there even a book who takes anything but listed pitchers on Five Inning Plays? Can't recall every seeing one. Probably with you on the Brewers, was actually busy this morning and gonna get to the small card here in a little bit. Best of luck as always.

I only made such a point of it because someone went into yesterday's thread and posted 3-3, as though he were not impressed. I don't care whether he was impressed or not, but he is one of those guys that needs to get his facts straight before he posts.

Yeah I figured it was something like that. Gotta love when the clueless want to act like they know when they should just be keeping quiet and learning.

Thanks for pointing this out as I did not exactly understand the concept of "action." Much appreciated and this is why I really enjoying reading solid posters such as yourself so that I get better.

Your case for focusing on starting pitching is theoretically sound. The problem is, that pitchers usu (often) need an inning to find their release point. This helps with control, the HP umpire's strikezone, what the hitters are schooled to do (wait on a few, or swing at the first few 'easy strikes,' layoff breaking pitches,etc) And often the superior pitcher in form needs an inning or two to show it. An average golfer (to use an analogy from a diff sport to illustrate) can par the first few holes, and play even with a partner with a better handicap; buy the time they get to the back nine, the handicap and abilities will reveal themselves. Mistakes will be made.
Starting pitchers don't typically go 5 innings and call it a day. Managers ask for 7 inn from a starter.
The bet would be correctly aligned with your approach, if in fact they allowed a 7 inning bet (At least 6 inn 2/3 of the way).
Vegas knows that a less ability pitcher can jump up frequently enough to beat the odds and trump 1st h bettors.
I do RL wagering and the pitchers are listed automatically, and also in totals' wagering they are auto listed.
I agree with listing pitchers, but 1st H wagering needs an extra inning or two to justify it as superior wager to eliminating a shaky bullpen.
My hobo nickel's worth of thought. GL. Enjoy your takes everyday.

Passing on Richards today? I was hoping we would get a better price after Keuchel's last start....guess not.
Do not doubt Keuchel or Richards, both have been excellent lately. I would like an under except that both offenses are explosive and a meltdown by either guy spells over. This game is, imho, untouchable. The odds may say "take a flyer on Keuchel" but it would have to be considered a value play, not an outright odds-on pick. I will probably watch it since my pick will be done by game time, but more to get another look at Keuchel and Richards than anything else.

Couldn't agree with you more. I'm taking a shot on the Stros purely for value. Their offense has been clicking as of late and I figure why the hell not . You are one of the few who I've seen also questioning that total. I understand both pitchers on the mound have been great as of late, esp. Richards but both offenses have been just as. Gun to my head, I'd be on the under. Still sitting on that play though. GL tonight

peralta blanked braves in his last outing to the tune of a 7 inn 2 hitter, doubt he repeats similar success. NOt sure if hes getting lucky or what but the last 3 games opposing teams are 3/28 RISP, expecting that to revert to the mean tn and the braves tack a few on him BOL tho
