If you see any reason for me not to hammer the Cardinals speak now because I'm getting a stiffy for this game!

St. Louis is a great baseball team statistically speaking.  I tend to lean their way in most games.  I then have to make the difficult decision of finding a sound reason not to play them.  Usually that involves asking myself is the juice worth the squeeze?

Curious on why no 2u play on Arizona -1? Is it because of the juice? I remember earlier in the season a rare 2u play on the Rockies and Friedrich where the projected ML and ML had a huge significance as this game? 

I would also think that the Reds would be a play if we are looking at value.

- why does Detroit have value? It looks like your spreadsheet says -280 is about right.

You guys see the result of my model every day.  I never adjust the output and I very rarely get results in the -300's.  Definitely fewer than 10 times - maybe fewer than 5 - this year has the output been this high.  What makes this number even more shocking is that it doesn't factor in recent performance in which I would give an even bigger boost to Arizona's projection.  Miley is top 20 and Keuchel is bottom 10.  I'm also playing the -1 run line at -135.  Effectively risking two units on the Diamondbacks.

Detroit with a 73.7% chance to win and Arizona with a 77.2% chance to win means both will win 57.1% of the time.  This translates to a true line on the parlay of -133.  Since I'm getting +110 on the parlay, I see 43 cents of value - right in my butter zone.

I knew a Arizona play had to be coming. Have 2 units riding on the Diamondbacks winning. Hope the numbers work in our favor this time. GL to us!!

On any given day, How far behind are your models on current stats?

You're probably a better math whiz than me. It just seems odd that parlaying a  Detroit team @ the correct odds creates more value than Arizona at -177.

Also, what do you think of Arizona -2.5? Any value there?

Either way, great f**kin job so far!  This is always the first thread I look for in MLB!

I read that James McDonald is coming off 6 days of rest and put some extra work in with the pitching coach over the last week.  He's been bad lately but the Cards offense can sometimes disappear vs. RHP.  I might end up passing on this game

With you on Zona and Detroit though.  BOL tomorrow
