Thanks for the love tin. Here's what I've got for today:

For 5.7.2013 Take:

Two Team Parlay:
#916 Boston Redsox ML
#930 Colorado Rockies ML
($234 to win $443.80)

Some Stupid Theory: *Think about Boston athletics right now in general though: The Red Sox were just 33-38 -18.61 units in Aprils from 2010 to 2012. Now this season they've stepped up and are 21-11 (65.6%)! 12-5 (70.6%) at home! That is a huge change! The Bruins were only 42.9% in the playoffs last year and now they're rocking Toronto off of a 5-2 win on the road. I don't know...I could be way off here and this is just variance or regression, but I think there's a pretty good reason we all know about for Boston teams to be playing 110% right now. Boston teams might be a good stock to buy or just not play against on the blind. Anyways...

**The Twins are just 20-47 (29.9%, -21.73 units) since 2011 after 5+ road games. The Red Sox are 63-40 (61.2%) SU facing a team in this spot at home since 2010.
*Under Manager Joe Girardi, the Yankees are just 49-49 (50%, -17.07 units, +10% roi fade) after 1 day rest. 8-12 (40%) SU on the road after a home game (0-3 if they lost that game).
-The Rockies are 13-6 SU (68.4%, 7.92 units) this season against right handed starters. 7-3 (70%) at home.

Thanks YoungHova. As long as the trolls stay out of the thread I'll keep it going the whole season. Helps me to jot out my thoughts and keep em on record personally.

Hey, how do you make a -1 run line because whenever I make it i dont get anywhere close to the odds you get. For example today on the new york game i get +118 instead of +131. Thanks

I've got a calculator where I can bet the money line and runline. I can use different books for the two. I'm usually using the Pinnacle line too.
