Sharp, solid cap on the UNDER, good call on taking the 'hook' that half run is more benificial than some may realize, @-122 consider it a bargain to risk management....

Looks good so far! DET game should be close, but I can see DET winning 4-2, as for beating Kershaw...well I would have left that one out.

It's tough to hedge having a big dog as your last leg so what you can do is if STL goes up early 1-0, 2-0 etc..bet LAD live and you could get them at +200 and bet $200-$500. 

Either way good luck!

Sharp thanks put 2 unit on each since its the playoffs....my book wouldn't let me buy the half so lets hope under 7 is good at +105.

I like all the overs in the NFL and NCAAF tonight.. took a 4 team teaser with all of those and prob the overs as well.. as far as teams tonight not too sure yet...

Got the same odds on the under.... I posted about taking the under and Baltimore a short time ago.

As for the NFL, the weather looks like rain for tonight but shouldn't be too much wind. Just to let you know.

Good luck!

General - nice work on SF last night. What does your model say about DET vs BAL bullpen?

Bizarro,

I'm sure Joba, Coke, and Nathan could easaly answer your question, unfortunately they are not available for comentary. the Tigers lead MLB in 'blown-lead-losses' (after the 7th inning) with 27 Joba Chamberlain has 14 BS/BH to lead the Tigers..the Orioles don't even come close to these figures...Sharp has either dissapeared, or went into hibernation in preperation for the the Oct 9th NHL  2014 opening faceoff..hope all is well, and he resurfaces..

lancer89074, you're an idiot. We should just fade Kershaw now, the best pitcher in baseball, because he had a bad game.

Yeah, that loss makes Kershaw 1-4 in postseason play with three losses against the Cardinals. Do you see a history here or are you blinded by the light? Unlike you I have the stones to bet against Kershaw and I do it without calling anyone names like a little child.

Kershaw's loss was a calculated handicap with the Cardinals getting the winning edge; the season stats, and the Cards line up make it clear, no pitcher walks on water, the value cap was the Cardinals aka: "the Cardinals got their number"they did the same thing last post season....

good game last night, series tied up (1-1)

You come in here with a stupid comment with the obvious intention to instigate a fight. Then you make a stupid argument Kershaw should be judged over a 5 game sample size and ignore his stellar season and career. 

I was going to have a dialogue with you, just like I have with everyone, but it is clear what your intentions are. I have read over your posts and can see you are just a clown that attacks people in their threads. Maybe you are bored, maybe you hate yourself so much that you feel the need to attack others. I really don't know or care. I will not be bothered to waste anymore time on idiots like you.

It's been a weird post season. Interesting to say the least. As I stated earlier I will update record after the post season. So far it's not been great, but that is to be expected. Variance can be ugly.

I really need to reiterate the 1 unit per play. Just because there are fewer games, do not go bigger on the games. I have always been about the grind and managing risk. You cannot take big shots and expect to win long term.

Thanks guys. 

You don't have to follow this play, but this is a lock if I have ever seen one. I am still betting 1 unit, but if I ever needed to get out of a jam, i'd go all in on this one.

Take Raptors ml pre season vs. Sacramento.

Toronto players have been in shape all summer, practicing hard. They are also in Vancouver and want to put on a show. There is zero motivation and preparation for Sacramento.


The line is -175 for the ml, and -4 for the spread. Opened at -2.5

Terrible week for baseball. Glad Raps play won. Going to pass on the rest of baseball this season. Focus on my best sport, NHL. 

Starts Wednesday. Thread will be up Tuesday in NHL section. 

Will update everything the next few days with MLB, NFL. 

Good night guys, this old man is off to bed.

Sharp, you jump around quite a bit in your conclusion, from baseball to hockey, then football, back to baseball, then NBA basketball (preseason) and then, see you when the NHL begins...  I took a hard look at the Raptors last night, especially when a seasoned veteran attached the termonology of a 'lock' on of all things, a preseason basketball game being played on a neutral court. a wager I would have never considered, until you brought it to the forefront, well needless to say, after suffering losses in DET and K.C. (both sweeps) I needed to get "un-jammed" as you put it, and bet accordingly, taking the Raptors -168 ML for 6.72u  and the pointspread -4 @ -110 for 4.4u 

final results: Raptors 99 | Kings 95 / sports_Network +8u

appreciate your sharing technique, and your un-jamming insight into the world of NBA preseason wagering
