April 23rd: 1-0, +2.5 units Season 17-9, +10.88 units
April 24th game: CINN (-164) vs Chc, risk 2 units to win 1.21
Latos goes for Cinnci. Some stats Career vs Chc: 3.16ERA/1.21whip/.233BAA 2012 vs Chc: 2.25ERA/1.13whip/.222BAA 2013 Home: 2.63/1.10/.265 2012 Home: 8-3 3.18/1.12/.229 2013 Overall 2.73/1.14/.260 Latos has always been a good pitcher. Keeping his walk down this year (1.4 per 9IP vs 2.7 for his career), and increasing his strikeout rate (9.9 per 9IP vs 8.5 for his career) is really helping this year. While he doesnt have any wins to show for it, Latos has pitched well. He has a K/BB ratio of 29:4! That is incredible! It just shows that he doesnt get himself into trouble by walking alot of guys, and when he is in trouble he can sit a batter down. Going into Tuesday's action, Cinci was first in the league in runs scored, averaging over 5 per game, with an OPS of .768, good for 4th. Their bullpen is holding hitters to a .225BAA.
Samardzija is on the hill for the Cubs, bringing with him a career ERA of 4.67 vs the Reds. He has given up 11 runs over his last 18.2IP. The Cubs dont score enough, and are almost 50 runs behind Cinci this year. They are hitting .230 as a team and have a bullpen that is in the bottom 5 in the MLB.
This one stays close if Samardzija is on his game, but the Reds have too much firepower both at bat and on the mound.

Latos with 3 k's and 0 walks through 3. Unfortunately the Reds have left 3 on and have been caught stealing once thru 2 innings. They are getting some hits, so still encouraging.

Life got in the way a bit...I try to do the write up every day for the picks, but sometimes don't have the time. The research behind the pics is still there, rest assured.

Any thoughts on Harvey pitching another gem against the Dodgers at Citifield?
Don't have much time as the kids are home from school, but I will look into it. There is a reason i only play 1 or 2 games a day....each fully researched game takes about an hour.

Initial thoughts are that it is too much juice. Any time you bet on a hot pitcher that has been written up, is in NY, success story type thing, the line isn't in your favour. He may very well win the game and pitch a gem, but to me -155 is to much. LAD have started hitting a bit (7runs in each of there last 2 games), and while I love the Harvey's home stats both this year and last, I think this game should be around -140. To do this long term it is about finding value, and I just don't see it at -155. Again, they may very well win....I just won't be playing it.

Fabulous Line !!! ........if only more "handi-cappers" used this methodology, they might be more successful. Too many Dart-throwers chasing upward of 5 to 6 games per day in all Leagues.
