If you have never read my wagering strategy I encourage you to do so. Whether or not you adopt is it your choice.
MLB 2012 Regular Season: 363-369 +245.87 Units 6.72% ROI
MLB 2012 Playoffs: 12-9-3 +10.29 Units 14.6% ROI
MLB 2012 @ 1 unit per play = +51.23 Net Units
5.24.2013, 3-1, +15.6 Units, +104% ROI
YTD – 107-111-19, +29.83 Units, +2.77% ROI
5 & 9 Innings – ALWAYS Specify Pitchers – NO action plays
All plays are 5 Units Flat, unless otherwise noted
Orioles F5 (+137) FG (+139) (Garcia / Dickey)
Prior to the season we probably would have made Dickey well more than -200 versus Freddy Garcia at home. Today he should not be -149. His own performance and that of his offense versus righties just doesn’t justify that.
Cubs F5 (+155) FG (+160) (Wood / Bailey)
Yeah, I know, hold your nose. The Reds are rolling, no doubt about that, but they are doing so much better versus righty than lefty. Just 5-7-3 with an offensive era of 2.9 per nine versus the last 15 they have faced does not justify a -170 line. Wood is in as good a form as we have ever seen him and the Flubbies are 8-6-1 last 15 versus righty with an offensive era of 4.8. Long story, short version, the Reds are over valued here.

Bol. Jays are top 12 vs righties. Thoughts on over 8 in the jays game?
I can see the over in that game but with the majority of the runs coming from the O's. I don't know what stats you use to put the Jays in the top 12 versus righty but in their last 15 versus righty starters in the 5 inning game they are just 4-9-2 with an offensive era of 3.1 per 9. That is not very impressive, nor is their 16-20 overall record versus righty starters. Maybe you feel they have a better than 59.8% of winning this game so can realize 67 cents on the dollar of risk. I don't. I think the O's are much closer (actually over) 41.8% probability so I can earn 139 cents on the dollar. I think when the per dollar value of risk to reward is double with the underdog a guy should be very careful touting the favorite. jmho

idk if it will be today, but his luck will run out eventually.
and his 1:1 BB/K ratio his last two outings is hardly good form
said it all season - work the pitch count and explode on the cubs pen. if you can work the count and have the starter out by 6 or 7 you will beat them.

When I used the term good form it did not refer to any particular stat, but rather to his overall effectiveness, which determines his line value, or monetary worth. It makes little difference to me how you get them out and avoid surrendering runs, as long as you do it.

Garcia hasn't been as bad recently and his stats are inflated from a couple bad outings. Wood has a high BB/K ratio because he doesn't strike people out very often but has a knack for pulling out wins.
There's a reason these are dogs and the public perception (haters) will be on the favorites. I like both plays may ride with you BOL

Public perception of the relative strengths and weaknesses of the opponents are always what you bet with or against. Line maker odds are not intended to reflect true probability. They establish a favorite and if the public jumps all over it they have actually set the line too low, so it moves up as money comes in, but that still has absolutely nothing to do with true probability.
