Not sure many people know how sublime the Rays have been vs. the Mets.  Great price and spot to back them.  Good luck 

This will be under. Not sure what metrics you’re looking at but skenes been awesome and cubs rookie pitcher solid of late. Just don’t see an over but good luck 

I'll respond b/c I watched the game.  The ball was flying (6 homers doesn't happen if the ball doesn't "fly") AND the Twins pitchers were disgraceful.  I also stated the umpire was "squeezing the strike zone" which if you look back at how many walks there were, was actually taking place.  Crazy how some blatant strikes were called balls but it seems to be constant around the league.

I also wrote about how much the F5 in Mets game made sense (post 19) as well as silencing someone crying saying that the game might end up with 7 total runs (I stated 6-1 or 5-2) which all happened (post 28).  

Obviously you and I have a lot of great dialogue for many years so I'm not taking it as an attack and I know you weren't either, just frustrated.  But, I'm not wrong about what I stated either.  Yes, the Twins pitchers sucked and yes the umpire sucked so together it wasn't even possible to get to the window on that game.

Hot there and the ball is flying out so yeah probably little to no chance the scoring is over.  Plus the umpire small strike zone which never helps an under.  He's actually been graded as one of the worst ball/strike callers in the league that was a big thing I used to look at.  Can't wait until it's all automated will make the game much smoother.

Not sure how productive your bit is but I stated yesterday the summer months yield a lot more overs b/c it's hot and the ball flies.  I think it's less Soroka and more the Mets who are just hitting on all cylinders, pun intended.  But entirely possible they win this game 6-1 or 5-2 and the game stays under.  Say what you want about Senga but he's looking like the best of the Japanese hurlers and leads the NL in ERA.

I know you did your own research so you should know he's not off he has over a 7 ERA vs the Twins life time and hasn't won since May 14th.  I still think he can settle down and keep the game low scoring based on how he's pitched overall but historically speaking this is no shock 

I do like your F5 angle.  Agree both teams a bit sleepy and rested Mets bullpen is ideal.  Senga loves to get in and out of trouble but the Nats have hit a skid with the bats and I think he has a pretty straightforward game, at least the first 5.  I also think people forget that Soroka has been solid of late and over his career has been sublime vs. the NYM so I could even see a very close, low scoring game that the Nats pull out as Senga always seems to be hard luck with the Ws

Good luck

why not post it now then instead of waiting until it's tough for people to tail you

excuse me?  did you mean to start my own thread lol?  

maybe you're new on here but I post in every sport except this one b/c as Ive stated for years I'm not allowed to bet this sport due to conflicts.  if you think I'm being negative or bashing then maybe you should see how many years I have been chatting with BC for before you just try to jump down my throat.  nothing was negative, find one person on here that wins every game and I'll never post another comment.

none of us know much about one another, just be kind.  thats the advice you should take.  

and for the record, I'd love to be able to start my own threads in MLB (and after July's ASB will be free to do so).

Nope, I would have been on same side.  All I said is people who think you will win every game are off their rockers.  Not even you claim that.  Ironically, they lifted small Fry for Manzardo and he instantly was responsible for 2 RBI's and extending the inning for Santana to hit a GS.  one switch yielded a lot of those runs so you weren't wrong.  im sure you will have a few more plays today I just hate the negativity you're putting in your own personal time to do your best and help, no reason to bash.

wow just seeing this thread.  you guys have to be prepared to lose.  BC is a very transparent guy and tells you all he goes on cold streaks as much as hot streaks.  he ends up positive in the long run so just look at it that way.

otherwise, if you're so smart with your picks, start a thread on your own.  I PROMISE you if you're as good as you think people will come into your own thread and follow your advice.

but these games were definite stretches as you can see by the less expensive pricing on the UNDERS.  and yes, there will be a lot more OVERS moving forward the spring training lull for hitters is over and the summer months, which always see increased scoring, have arrived.

just stay positive BC is only trying to help you all out

As long as "Smokey" Sale doesn't hit the joint before tonights start he should power through the K props.

He's not #8 in their starting rotation and Dodgers own the Padres.  Still, could get the win but he's been injured for the past year and a half and this is his first year back if everyone was healthy I believe he would still crack top 5 even with Kershaw in the mix.  Glasnow, Sasaki, Yamamoto, Snell, and.....maybe Wroblewski is 8 but not Dustin May.  

Solid hit with Guardians.  Good chance you will also get the Braves it's about time for Strider to have a Strider type game.  Good luck 

As mentioned, Nuno Mendes lol.  Prob should have had him as anytime scorer.

Dbacks started at 1:35 EST.  just saying tough for people to tail if you're trying to help the forum.  regardless ball is flying so good luck with both plays 

I'll start off by stating that I wasted almost 20 minutes of my life drafting a post to publish for both France winning this AM and for this upcoming play, only to have it all erased by COVERS and show me some "504 Gateway Timeout".  So I didn't have enough time to redraft the earlier game and am now making my final attempt for this game. 

I'm not going to rewrite the length of the original posting but I will say this game is a lot like the Champions league Final, albeit with a different atmosphere and stakes on the line.  But I see Spain as the better team, younger team, more destined team, and with the best player in the world in Lamine Yamal.  I think today he gets his glory as do the Spaniards in a game that might start off nervy, but I also feel might see Portugal not score.

The game is on a neutral field in Germany and while Portugal put up 2 goals on Germany last time out, I do not think they really have much firepower and only took advantage of the German lapses on defense and how untidy the squad was.  But this is not about Germany, it's about how good Spain is and, how lethal they can be.  Yes, they gave up 4 goals to the French but that was mainly due to them "letting their guard down" and the French having too much pride.  I think Portugal are comprised of aging stars, their best player in my opinion is Nuno Mendes, a defensive midfielder who can create chances on offense.  But Ronaldo is a bit slower than he used to be and for that reason I think he doesn't get on the scoresheet as much these days.

I do not see any way Spain does not win this game and if it goes to overtime I think Udai Simon is the better goalkeeper.  Sure, the Portugese have a chance, but I think the spread gives them too much of one.  

SPAIN (-115)....BIG PLAY

SPAIN TO LIFE THE TROPHY (-190)....HUGE PLAY

Sure, this might be a bit pricey but like the Champions League I think this can be safely played.  I have also thrown a prop on "NO" (both teams to score) and a dart on Mikel Merino as anytime goal scorer.  As always, tail or fade, good luck to all...and to myself for this post getting published!

just so you all know the ground crew for the home team will not start a game when the home team has their top pitcher going on a getaway day unless they are 100% certain that the entire game will be played out. Clearly that’s because they don’t want to lose Skenes for a couple innings and then have to go through their bullpen, especially on a Sunday and the final game of the series.

so if the game starts on time, expect there won’t be much of a delay for sure during the first half of the game.

@Brooklyncapper

Food for thought moving forward.  Would love to see you sweep regardless so let's not jinx anything and just hope for the best.  I'm sure you have some later plays as well for the followers 

@Brooklyncapper You ever consider doing F5?  Pretty sure you would have swept your plays and I've seen that for many of the losses though I hope you sweep these nonetheless
