GL in the Tournys this year,
yeh I suck at everything since I retired, should take them all off. Used to watch hundreds of games a week at work and now watch 10 maybe.
ODB has been on fire this year in CB, he is on break until March with a personnel issue so if he comes back I might do better. 
Is mlb betable this year??
So many massive changes to the game. They clearly want more offense/scoring but I'm guessing oddsmakers will factor that in.
The pitch clock changes at-bats drastically. For everyone. Maybe argue batters can get better rhythm knowing the pitch has to come by a certain point....
They clearly want more baserunning too. Bigger bases. The pitch clock should help runners time their take-off.

Funny you mention strikeouts....that is where I had my success in mlb for a period...I found there was a market deficiency in the K prop market, especially in the NL, where pitchers still had to bat. Not to mention the "sticky stuff" pitchers were using...basically I got to bet on cheating pitchers who got to face a pitcher 2 or 3 times a start...
Of course that is now gone with the designated DH and the ban of "sticky stuff". Strikeouts are on their way down, which is what the league wants.
It is hilarious how much they are altering the game for offensive numbers. Basically trying to hide deficiencies in the players.
The shift ban is hilarious. Forcing the game to be played a certain way. Can't wait to see how teams manipulate the rules.
Will be fun to follow offensive numbers early on

Lines were and still are based on starting pitchers. You used to be able to rely on starting pitchers to go 6 - 7 plus innings or, believe it or not, throw a complete game. Now, with the analytic nonsense of pitch counts, you’re lucky to get 4 innings out of the starters and then you’re stuck with these absolutely no-talent relievers. That’s the main reason this sport has become impossible to bet and unwatchable, that and the declining talent pool. You’re absolutely right, they’re trying to hide deficiencies in today’s players with all these ridiculous rule changes. I was taught how to hit to the opposite field in my first year of Pony League.
Who is in charge of the pitch clock???
Does the umpire run it? Or is it someone off the field that runs/resets it?
Does it start when the pitcher receives the ball back from his catcher??
Such major changes, be interesting to see how the start of the season compares to others historically
I'll believe it when I see it.
@undermysac
Nice stat. Should stay below 23% with universal dh and ban of sticky stuff...but maybe not...universal dh eliminates a bunch of pitchers striking out(altho batters still strikeout too)
Pitch clock should favor batters imo...pitchers are creatures of habit and rushing that routine could lead to mistakes
Couple stupid things I heard on internet last couple of days,
Kara Lake is running for President.
And in a extra inning MLB game in the 10th inning you get to put a guy on second base so you can score a run with one hit. So if both teams fail with this gift what happens in the 11th inning? Maybe a guy on 3rd? Bases loaded in 12th with a 3-0 count to hitter to start.
Maybe one way is right, baseball doing everything to make the game a joke.
@undermysac
A glutton for punishment….Be sure to shine up that coin you’ll be flipping. It’s absolutely atrocious that you have to change the rules in an attempt to masquerade today’s players’ deficiencies. I CANNOT fathom how you would still have an ounce of interest in this pure garbage.
@undermysac
Baseball players are the biggest babies, KC QB playing with bad ankle gets it twisted and comes back and scores everytime in second half. Most baseball players get a bit of pain they are out of the game.
One Way might be right.
And any team that gave Jacob any kind of huge contract is stupid, guy never plays a whole season. 40 million or whatever a year for the loser.
