@FredLeonard I was not criticizing you, just making a point. |

Minor point Fred, but that should be "World Series Champions", not world champions. Most of the world is not eligible to compete and World Series is just a misnomer. |

MLB Daily 2024 / ($1.00 is my unit, 100 units per play) Record 7-5-2, +133.77, RoR +11.15% 5/12 F5 Phillies -210, Wheeler/Garrett There are a lot of myths I don’t really care about regarding the visitor on getaway day and the old, reliable, “won’t get swept at home”, but what I do know is that the Phillies are on a roll and Zach Wheeler has a Cy Young in his sites. ‘nuff said. F5 Royals -130, Lugo/Sandoval Entirely different situation today, as the Royals do not feed the Angels another lefty. Lugo is shutout capable for five innings and his offense should find a couple vs Sandoval. BOL Kiss your mother, or the mother of your children, or any mother, it is their day. |

@JEG53 I just don't have enough on Black - no real history. The rest of what you say is true, but this guy could turn it around in a hurry. GL if you play it. |

@Kaufee "the score isn't gonna change b/c you're watching." Let me paraphrase that - "You aren't going to score tonight if you keep watching the game." |

MLB Daily 2024 / ($1.00 is my unit, 100 units per play) Record 5-5-2, -88.23, RoR -8.82% 5/11 F5 Dodgers -145, Paxton/Waldron The Dodgers, slated for about 2 wins in every 3 games, should be able to bounce back nicely today. Paxton over Waldron for 5 innings should be a no-brainer. Having the far better matchup offense is icing on the cake, (or gravy for your biscuit if you are diabetic). F5 Angels +153, Ragans/Anderson We can call this my “Billy Joel Play Of The Day” because “You may be right, I may be crazy; but it just may be a lunatic you’re looking for”. This line is disproportionate to the reality. Ragans is good, but little or no better than Anderson, and the Angels are a better hitting club vs lefty than the Royals. If I were the linemaker this 5 inning game would be even money, Royals favored for the game. BOL Starters bounced back a little last night too. They dropped that horrid 6-something era from the first four days of the week to a more respectable 2.52, at least for one night. Aberrations will happen but let’s hope for a more “normal” weekend. |

I don't believe this. Your post has been up almost an hour and you have ONE good luck post. Where are your boys? Even JEG should be here since he is retired now and no longer has to bartend or pimp to earn a living. What a sad state of affairs. |

@OlDirtyBaztid "agree with everything except stripling being a good pitcher." I had my own doubts about including him, but overall he is pretty good, at least competent, and should not have gotten whacked like that by the Rangers, or anyone else. Certainly not a super-stud, but 5 earned runs in 1.2 innings? That is the realm of nightmares. Anyway, we can't agree on everything or one of us would be the clone of the other, and that too would be a nightmare.

MLB Daily 2024 / ($1.00 is my unit, 100 units per play) Record 4-5-2, -139.51, RoR -15.5% 5/09 F5 Phillies -195, Suarez/Rogers What’s going on? Since when does Key lay enormous juice? Well, quite a bit is going on. The first five weeks of this season starting pitchers were posting unreal numbers. In four days this week the bats have woken up (and starters sucked). Starters were posting era’s around 4.10 on average with half the league under 4.00. In four days this week they have posted an era of 4.61 and are surrendering 5.4 runs per game in the first five innings. Five inning baseball is a mano-a-mano game. Two chuckers go at it head-to-head, and if you have the better guy, that performs as he should, he needs only a small offensive edge to be playable. If he has an off day, and the other guy doesn’t, you are going to lose. The better the chucker the less important home field, weather, or umpires matter. Managers and bullpens are of little to no concern. Irrelevant. So, when trying to break out and post a winner, I am going with the best possible mano-a-mano matchup and trusting Suarez to be one guy this week that doesn’t fall off the face of the earth. Hopefully he didn’t hit the strip clubs and after hour joints last night. If Suarez and Rogers perform to expectations we should cash the ticket. Bettors that believe in “add the juice to favorites” can do as they wish, but I am a flat unit bettor that will accept a 51.28 unit profit on my normal 100 wager. You cannot control profit, only risk can be controlled. BOL Some really good starters that have failed this week include: Darvish, A. Wood, Stripling, Berrios, Burnes, Soroka, Verlander, Soriano, Pivetta, Kirby, Gilbert, Stroman and Sonny Gray. A crowd any team would be proud to have. I didn’t have them all (thank God), but that group is indicative of what has happened in just four days in MLB so far this week. YIKES! |

Record 4-4-2, -39.51, RoR -4.94% 5/09 F5 Mariners/Twins UNDER 3.5, -110, Gilbert/Lopez Nobody can hit Gilbert and Lopez is a tough ticket for the Mariners. Wind and weather, slow and cool, should be no problem, and Nate Tomlinson behind the plate is an absolute early Christmas gift to Gilbert and Lopez. Everybody has a plane to catch, Mariners, Twins and umpires. BOL |
