Wish Me Luck 5/22

17-29-2, -1,042.03, - RoR -22.2 % All that is official and will not be denied!

All is official again, my personal funds are on them

FG – Cardinals +110, Leahy/Paddack

Pitching is all Leahy, offense is a wash, except that the Cards have played a much tougher schedule to date. H/A is not a problem, as the Cards have played better on the road than the Reds at home.

FG – Rays +134, Martinez/Cole

We know not how Cole is going to perform, and won't know until he gets in a few starts, but we do know that Martinez has been excellent and can go toe-to-toe with anyone. What Yankee backers also face is that their stats are probably highly inflated, having faced the weakest schedule in MLB this year. They have played only 9 teams above .500 and have lost to 8 of them. The Rays have played 24 teams above .500 and are 13-11. Is that something you can ignore? I think not.

FG – Rangers -146, deGrom/Rodriguez

There is a lot to like/dislike about deGrom and Rodriguez, in that order, ‘nuff said. The Rangers are today’s only 5 star, dominating the Angels in every important category. If they were a better team themselves I would play them on the run line, but caution has its place. For the guy that likes a little more risk I wouldn’t dissuade him.

Play At Your Own Risk – these are not official and will not be added to the record.

 Put your dagger back in it's scabbard, put on your dunce cap, and return to the section reserved for trolls. And, nah, I won't bother, 

@KeyElement

 Sorry, should have deleted that line that says they are not official, they certainly are. 

Good luck tonight

@Coloneljim, @ScroopyNoopers

That's the attitude we need 

@KeyElement

 Started to think you were losing it on that one,I am playing but not really. 

I have been wondering on the advantage of playing more games than one, before Covid would spend hours reading stuff making picks but seem to have lost the drive to root for more than one a day. 

GL today, 

Dude, how could you not back Arrighetti today?

+124 cmon man.

This is the dumbest line I've seen all year.

A bet on the Astros -1.5 pays +188 as well.

The books can kiss all our asses to think that they're trying to fake out bettors here. It's a double reverse inverted fairy fake, if you ask me.

What do you say?

@undermysac:  What do you say?

********

Cubs have the offense, H/A, o.e.r.a., and strength of schedule

Opened at -145 and have held steady, no whales behind your opinion.

What do you say?

@JEG53

 How many games I play will always depend on how many I and the computer agree on. Today the Cards and Rays partially qualify because the are dogs. At the probability I computed they are projected as winners, but laying juice would eliminate them. Every day is it's own adventure. 

Now, go kick Reggie's tired old arse and get his opinion, ON ANYTHING. I respect him, wisdom is the providence of age!

I say that the Cubs hitting woes are real, and they keep running into pitchers who won't allow them to get out of their slump. Arrighetti is certainly another one of those kind of pitchers.

Jameson Tailon is a well below average pitcher this year, and the Cubs bullpen is strung out.

Nothing changes today for the Cubs, you're welcome. 

BTW, I like your bets, make sense to me. 

@undermysac:  BTW, I like your bets, make sense to me. 

*****

NSS? Thanx, good luck with the Stros. 

@undermysac

 One more thought; water seeks its own level, Taillon and the Stros offense are a good match.

GL 

We will watch that Cards line tomorrow, see what changes overnight. ppd today

Go get 'em Key!!! 

I'm on the TB and TEX -1, and TB for the series +135

Also logged into Heritage Sports today, account is still active and a $49 balance. Who knew?!

I like them better than YouWager. Can't remember when I usef them last, probably before the pandemic

*********

No s**t?  They kicked me out when they dropped U.S. Did you log in from U.S. or are they honoring your outside registration?

BOL to you today Key!  

Nothing a 6 team parlay won't fix 

GL   

The Cubs suck. Who's Tailon to be laying such chalk gtfoh.

Astros +188 RL cashed if anyone gave a shit.

Looking at Henderson from Milwaukee, a true fly ball pitcher. 

The Dodgers have hit fly ball pitchers at .267/.812 this year. With the best sOPS+ in the majors at 122.

Although, no one from the Dodgers lineup has ever seen the young pups stuff.

Good Luck on your card, again Key 

G.L

Have to play the Rays but there are a few on here going on them but Cole coming back from that surgery is hard.

Nothing from the old wise one yet Key.
