YTD: 284-277-24, +230.2 Units, +8.2% RoR
5-3, +21.11 Units Monday gets the week off to a very nice start.
I am not crazy about backing guys like Saunders or newbies like Gonzalez but if the betting public warps the lines way beyond the true probability of their opponent winning you just have to do what you have to do. Worked out fine didn’t it? Could have been a monster day if the Padres had closed out the win but they did capture the +148 first 5 so we cash out OK on that game too.
5 & 9 Inning Plays Today
Yankees +120, +128, (Garcia / Cobb)
The old man continues to get the job done until the offense puts up a few. Offensive edge to Yankees.
Phillies +155, +156, (Kendrick / Latos)
Most bettors haven’t noticed how well the Phillies are playing ball now that they are out of it.
Mets +135, +138, (Harvey / Garcia)
It is high time Harvey got the respect he deserves.
Angels-A’s Over 4, -115, Over 7.5, -120, (Greinke / Parker)
Neither of these guys is as hot as his rep, but both offenses are and either one could accomplish both overs without the help of the other.
Padres +195, +195, (Stults / Kershaw)
Folks are betting Kershaw plus the new names on the Dodger jerseys, but if you ask me, I am not so sure they should even be favored here, Kershaw or no Kershaw. Stults has been nothing but reliable and the Padres offense is far better than the credit they are given.
