MLB Daily 2024 / ($1.00 is my unit, 100 units per play)

Record 16-16-4, +4.18, RoR +0.13%

5/31

F5 Orioles -140, Civale/Suarez

Civale is having a less than impressive season and shows no reason to fear. The Orioles have groomed Suarez to step into a starters role and the transition is looking good. Only 4 innings in his initial appearance as a starter and a full 5 days rest since. He should be ready to rock, and the O’s offense is far superior to the Rays.

F5 Astros -113, Lopez/Blanco

Again, superior pitching and offense. The Twins were lucky to pull out a 3-1 home series win over the Royals and take a less than impressive Lopez and offense to Houston against an Astros team whose main problem has been pitching, especially starting pitching, but they don’ face that problem today, and certainly not in the 5 inning game.

F5 Padres -120, Cease/Wacha

It is a broken record, but superior pitching and offense are the keys to 5 inning baseball. Cease is clearly superior to Wacha and the Padres offense is undervalued here. They have a fine 17-10 Away record, a slightly better record against +500 teams and an acceptable 21-19 record vs right-handed starters.

There you go. Old Key is stepping out tonight and probably can’t get bitten in all three by rainouts or pitching changes. Sorry, not a dog in the bunch, and overall it looks like a home-favorite night, the Padres being the exception.

BOL

Good luck Key.  

Suarez actually  started 2 games in late April .

Sent to the pen long relief.....

Injuries have forced him back into the rotation...

@KeyElement

 After the starter was pulled, the Devil Rays used SIX arms to close that battle out last night. Might affect the game today.

BOL!!

I’m already on Houston 

i gotta start looking at F5 more because I would have won my KC bet yesterday if I had taken F5 smh

Like the Orioles, don't like the Padres. 

Good luck

@KeyElement

 BOL on all your plays

Like Suarez K prop, Blanco Under ERA prop and the HOU F5 as well.

Lets cash tix today!!!!

@Ravensfan2k3

 Just IMO, I only play player props and F5, bc SO MUCH can change and affect a game, over 9 innings

bets on teams literally aren’t safe until last out of the 9th.

BOL on all your plays 

@Retiredfeddave

"bets on teams literally aren’t safe until last out of the 9th."

Sometimes not even then! 

I wonder what happened to your old buddy "undermysac".

@Ravensfan2k3

 Careful bud, I had that option, but Lynch was a whole different handicap and much less likely winner, F5 winners were very lucky when he escaped a bases loaded, one out situation. Everything matters.

@richamp

 He is all wrapped up in fishing. New boat, new contests, blah, blah, blah. I also think there is a woman involved (). He drops in occasionally but seems to have lost interest in baseball (I always suspected there was something mentally wrong with that boy!)

Like it  tailing

@Ravensfan2k3

I should also tell you if you are going to look at 5-inning baseball you ABSOLUTELY CANNOT disregard anything regarding pitching. The 5 inning game is twice as dependent on the starters as is the 9 inning game. DON'T FORGET THAT.

@MITM

"Like the Orioles, don't like the Padres"

Any particular reason? We can discuss it. I would be interested to know your thoughts.

Just a Formula I run, Orioles-1 top play i have. Royals 2nd best play. 

I had a big downgrade for Cease and upgrade for Waccha. Also Royals simply higher rated currently in some things I use, not to mention price.

@MITM

 Ah, I played the consistent history of Cease and am highly suspicious of Wacha. Difference of opinion is not a bad thing, if we didn't have it there would be no sports gambling.

@KeyElement

 Absolutely and its regular season baseball. I'm not a handicapper, I'm only as good as my model. 

Best of luck 

@MITM

 Same to you - but only AFTER the 5th inning

Lots of good A vs B looks with the starters F5.  Starters no longer trying to conserve or pace in the mid innings as they know they'll get pulled by pitch count or whatever anyway so seeing more effort to really mix it up second time through the lineup. 

@KeyElement

Kids don’t understand because they’ve never witnessed MLB. But betting on today’s Single-A players (at best) is nothing more than a coin flip and a losing proposition for everyone.

@KeyElement

 This was his answer, he just went with negative on players again.

GL today, 3 plays today, weeble thinks no scoring today.

@JEG53

 Well. it's too late to dislike Reggie now, we just have to tolerate the old fart and love him as he is. 

<-- send him that
