@NetProfit2023 I’m not trying to be the Covers police, but I don’t really see the benefit of posting a live bet s or any bets in this thread
We’re trying to have one specific discussion in this thread. If you want to post those plays, it probably makes more sense to start your own thread, post your record or not , and let people follow along there.
That keeps this one cleaner and easier to track.

Hey bud Wish you good fortunes with your bets tonight!
No disprespect, but perhaps it would be better all around if you did make your own thread and post all your picks in there. You're doing WELL so let the forum follow you and your progress! Make a compelling subject title and they will, and I'd be glad to visit and cheer on your picks too! TY for your visits here too!

Amazing METS -127 @pinn *BB...Mets should be a solid +1.0 run edge***
***but this is risky!!!.... this presumes PERALTA does not pull another stinker and implode AT HOME while facing a mediocre Cards lineup.... Bats and bullpen otherwise should favor the AMAZINGS....but ya never know with these guys, especially FREDDY....
Bet small if at all.
...and just as feared, PERALTA has imploded on the mound...
So unless METS get really sharp at the plate, this is a LOSER because of Freddy...
Fortunately I deliberately waited to post this right at gamestartso nobody would be influenced to get a bet down on them...

6 - 0 for Cards as PERALTA phucked-it-all-up as feared ......sigh.... my fault though! I took a chance that Freddy would not screw the pooch, but he did...

The GIANTS starter, Houser, has struggled AT HOME.....he struggles even more against lefty bats.
So guess what?! ...tonight HOUSER is the SP AT HOME and the very good bats of Washington are throwing 8 lefties at him!
That and I have the NATS with the slightly better bats to begin with and about even in the pens. As long as ALVAREZ doesn't screw the pooch there should be more runs scored than yesterday with NATS on top again...
NATS -105 @pinn ...roughly a +0.7 run edge; almost a *BB

In my humble analysis, tonight in Cleveland it all boils down to whether or not a very GOOD starter (COLE) implodes on the mound vs the Cleveland bats. That's the #1 Q. YES, all other considerations *ARE* important too....but this is the most important single issue. If he does not implode, chances are very high Yankees win. If he DOES implode, the edge swings to Cleveland, although it could still be a battle.
So, will he?
COLE was/is an ELITE starter. We all know this. And he holds up very well when opps throw a bunch of lefty bats against his right arm, like tonight! But this season (coming off major injury and a year off) is still a bit of a questionmark... His first 2 outings this year he pitched VERY WELL! EXCELLENT in fact!
But last week against this very same Cleveland squad - in Yankee Stadium - they got to him! Over 5.1 ip he managed only 2Ks and was tagged for 3 HOMERS and 4 ER in a 5 - 4 loss. So, 2 GOOD starts then that BAD one vs Cleveland. After tonight he may be 3 good outings vs just 1 bad (ie, GOOD pitcher), or 2 - 2 (ie, mediocre pitcher)
I bet the YANKEES and they got a close win......but I have to tag COLE with a technical "BAD outing" .....2 earned runs against him over just 4 ip is mediocre.....but putting on 8 baserunners over 4 ip is BAD.
Next week Cole faces the WhiteSox - who are arguably slightly better at the plate than Cleveland...

So, again SKENES pitches well!...allowed only 8 on and 2 ER thru 6 ip. But will his skill on the mound result in Pirates winning?
Nope.
The Pirates fall to 7 - 8 in games that Skenes starts; only 3 - 5 AT HOME!
The Vegas odds are heavily influenced by the "alleged" ability of the starter.
But wins/losses are not decided solely or even MOSTLY by the starters.
Offense (or lack thereof) is more determinant. If we did nothing otherthan bet the teams - in any given matchup - with a *SIGNIFICANTLY* better offense, we would win more bets than betting teams with a *SIGNIFICANTLY* better starter.
My "value bets" largely arise out of analysis of the offenses, with less weight to the starters.

Well, my bet only has about a 45% chance to win SU; not so good . . . but I only have the CUBS with a narrow +0.4 run edge to beat the Rockies so I'm going with the homies on the RL.
Rockies +1.5 +100 @pinn "value bet"
7 - 3 WINNER
YTD "value bets": 34 - 20 +20.56u

This STARTER is riding a tenuous 10-gameHOT STREAK,
WITHOUT a BAD outing in that streak .....YET!
...but this should be anticipated to end at anytime!!!
Make no mistake, this dude and others I will identify in the future are GOOD starters - some of them exceptional! HOWEVER, probability says "consecutive streaks won't last long" especially AFTER 7 straight w/o a "bad outing"....All GOOD pitchers will, from time to time, have an "off" day and get roughed up - sometimes mauled - before they resume their stellar pitching performances again. CAN NOT be avoided. Best to avoid!
CAVEAT: even if the starter has a "badouting" doesn't guarantee his team will lose! It just seriously weakens their chances! But his team's bats could come thru with a lot of runs to save the day.....maybe! You decide.

Schlittler (NYY)...lose 9 - 4 vs ClevelandSale (Atlanta).....lose 7 - 2 vs TOROMartinez (TB) ....lose 7 - 2 vs DetroitdeGrom (Tex).....lost 9 - 6 vs AngelsElder (Atlanta) ...lost 8 - 0 vs BoSoxRasmussen (TB) ...lost 14 - 3 vs Angels

Among the leading MLB starters, there are only 3 currently on extended hot streaks of which to be aware:
13 without a "bad outing" THE MIZ (Brewskies)
10 without a "bad outing" BURNS (Reds)
8 without a "bad outing" SANCHEZ (Philly)
The time to be concerned about rising chances of a "bad outing" is any streak of at least 7 starts without a bad outing in that stretch. And once the numbers rise into double-digits it's serious RED ALERT time

A+ I loved Ohtani yesterday up 6-1 I was going to bet Dodgers -1.5 then I read your warning and stayed away. Very Grateful for your "hot streak warning." Making money is my favorite thing in life, saving money is my second favorite thing in life.
