Nice picks :)

:clap:

Nice work Key

Congrats on the wins today 

Either I have the most loyal, patient and forgiving friends in the history of Covers or you guys are all the descendants of Alfred E. Neuman himself. Either way, your support is appreciated. I probably have an evening play now that I have had my old man nap and seen 3-0-1 come in at +$ on the day game plays but have to get back to it.

I appreciate the thoughts dallasm, but just imagine the riff-raff that would find their way into my thread after a sensational play like a
 "100 Gazillion Star Double Trip-Trap Lock of the Millennium".
Friendship and peace to all.
Cya later.

Key your threads consistently have a trail of much more informed comments and discussion than any other in this forum.

That feat may even be harder than posting a winning record over a season....

Can't wait to see your evening play, I just put mine up. Nice double-double banger today.

Mets, F5, +102 (deGrom / Wood)

Mets, FG, +109 (deGrom / Wood)

BOL

Anyone that follows MLB knows both clubs are usually pretty weak, with the Mets at .475 and the Cubs at .393 overall. But, the Mets are 15-14 on the road and the Cubs 12-13 at home, so any perceived HFA would seem to be irrelevant. What bettors may be missing is that the Mets are 6-6 vs. lefty and the Cubs 6-5. So what? Well, only the Mets are facing a lefty tonight an the Cubs are facing a righty, where their record dips to 16-29, .356. That is quite a drop off and is further supported by their drop in oera productivity from 5.20 to 3.30. In his short career DeGrom has been almost flawless at 3-1 h2h and 4-0 in quality starts. The loss in h2h is acceptable because at 4-0 qs we see that he did not perform badly, the other guy just had an even better outing. Wood comes in at 7-4 and 6-5, both also acceptable, but the extra win over quality start means he was saved by his offense on a day he was not particularly good. The best effectiveness comparison is the overall rating and quality starts. DeGrom 73.3, 4-0. Wood 64.6, 6-5. Given the offensive advantage already noted as well I have to back the underdog here.  

Key you know we have your back,plus this thread has always gotten the class of covers,nice hits today,but way 2 early for this old man.

JEG - I love living in the West because we get the action so early in the day, Baseball at 930, and sometimes we get college foots or buckets as early as 830, but I can imagine how tough that is for a guy that works nights and doesn't get home until the sun is rising on the East Coast. Boo-hoo. Maybe one of those $1,000 a night hookers you pimp for will let you cry on her shoulder. Maybe even nestle you to her...... (oh, no, better not go there)
 

Just got the Mets in game +1.5 @ +163

Keen insight.
Slinger deGrom live-arm vs. dead-Wood
so no sweep, no sh|t

Lets run Key!

This.is.how.we.do

Where the devil did you find a line like that?

MU
STRAIGHT BET
[9905] NYM METS - IN GAME LINE +1½+163
(NYM METS - IN GAME LINE vrs CHI CUBS - IN GAME LINE)

I'm pretty sure it was a mistake, however, it hasn't been canceled, yet.  I actually went in a placed a second wager with the same line.

NYM Mgr does NOT appeal obvious 3rd out.
LeadNYM Mgr does NOT appeal obvious 3rd out.
Leads to a run (Cubs appeal and get run)
then riled up, deGrom serves one up so pitcher can go yard

Game fixed pretty bad - that's why you can have Mets +1.5 @ +170s to a run (Cubs appeal and get run)
