Been a crazy last few days at the office. I survived my MLB withdrawals in good spirits though! Back on the grind. Good luck fellas! Will peep the run totals tomorrow.

Toronto Blue Jays -1.5 RL +115, Sanchez/Wright

Detroit Tigers FG -111, Fulmer/Ventura

Los Angeles Angels FG -133, Shoemaker/Graveman

You just love betting against my royals lol. Any thoughts on Texas tomorrow? Wacha has been struggling seems like a good spot for a hot Texas club. Bol man

I love this matchup... my ONLY concern is that the Rangers have had a heck of a travel schedule here lately. I am going to chew on this one a bit more.

For what it's worth, I have the Rangers at -130 before making any additional adjustments.

Welcome back

Looking at the Tigers 

Thanks for sharing. Lets get them tomorrow

Everybody and their granny will be on the Jays and Sanchez against Wright and the Os. Same scenario with your other two selections. Nobody in their right mind would take the A's tonight; however, Oakland may be the sleeper pick of the day. This is the kind of game that they win somehow, plus they seem to get up for the Angels. Normally I'm all over your picks but am skeptical of these tonight...too obvious. I hope you win all three though, except of course if I muster the courage to bet Oakland!

No conflict here. Playing Tigers RL/F5 for the bonus $ though.

The only time I care about what other people will do is if it affects my view as to whether I can get a better line - the next day after more wagers are placed. My focus is always on my own handicapping. As far as sleeper picks go, I still have the A's having a 39% chance of winning the game, which means the fair line should be +155 (according to my numbers). I always play for long-term repeatable outcomes that skew in my favor (i.e., mispriced lines). It's never about who I think can or should win. Playing that game will result in undesirable outcomes.

BOL BOB.  I'm on the Tigers also.

First of all, respect the work and time you put in.  Been betting bb for a long time and it can be a real grind.

I like Fulmer a lot, but no concern first game with JD going out.  I know you are an ROI guy, but not sure the line fully takes that into account.  He was doing really well and may take the Tigers awhile to adjust to his absence.

Not to mention, KC one of the best and Tigers one of the worst bullpens.  Agree with Key, I think 1st 5 is a better play there.

Baseball 101: The relationship of win probability to payback is not 

I like F5 s well. But, I placed the wager before F5 lines were posted and the FG price was attractive enough to play per my criteria.

I work in a field where I often times cannot even look at lines during the day/evening before games start, which is why I post - more often than not - the night before during the week.

There are advantages to being (technically) retired 

Good luck BOB!

Hamels  +115 vs horrible Wacha 

Your plays looking solid bob

Ventura is a punk! Let's go Tigers!
