I backed Ryan his last outing. He threw 7 shutout innings vs. the Angels. Tonight's a different situation. Bregman and the Bosox are too hot with the sticks for me to fade. Maybe they'll chill out for you tonight, and the Twink's offense has finally been waking up somewhat. You gotta score if you want to win.

Hang tough...you wouldn't know what positive is without experiencing the negative. That's a fact of life. Always enjoy your posts.

Nice...hope you win it.

Nice write-ups. Yes indeed, baseball is unpredictable, and therein lies the enticement. But you have to pick your spots if you want to dog bet and make money.

--Like Arizona...good match-up for them. Both Harper and Schwarber are sub .200 vs. Kelly. And Phillies' pen is weak.

--Braves a possibility at home, but I'm not fading a pitcher with an 1.06 ERA. The risk ain't worth the reward.

--Wouldn't put a nickel on the Rays tonight. They hit under .200 vs LHP, and Fried is as good of a lefty as there is. I'm not fading the Yanks until Judge cools off. But I suppose if you like unpredictability, Tampa is a sure thing. Ha!

The under-the-radar, big dog that caught my eye is LAA 1st five innings. Halos have surprisingly strong number against Scooby-Doo, and most of the Tigers' young hitters haven't faced Soriano. Risk:reward ratio is decent. Worth looking at anyway, but not full game though; Angels BP is horrible...look what happened last night...8 runs final two innings.

Tigs have a nice edge on the mound, better line-up too...not too keen on fading them, even with the travel time issue. They hit LHP pretty well; Kikuchi got popped in Minny his last outing. And the Halos were traveling too, just not as far.

Cubbies are a good gamble...their day splits on offense are much better than that of the Buccos...OPS more than .150 higher than the Pirates. Skenes is a beast though; beat him and you beat one of the best.

You and the public...Tribe a popular play today. I'm not into populism. It's usually a bankroll killer.

Strange stat for this match-up---Kwan 0-12 vs. Ober...don't recall seeing Kwan 0-fer against any pitcher. Kwan sets the table Cleveland.

Car wash vac kinda suction to bet the Tigs tonight.

No Cleveland?

Nice play...Us vets need all the help we can get nowadays!

Twinks are off to a terrible start in 2025; Lopez is one of the few bright spots for them. He's the reason the number is as low as it is for a team that is playing so poorly.

Cash that ticket,

Sweeper.

At -165, the books are in agreement with all you wrote. Starter edge, BP edge, should be a winner. M's hitting .188 to start the season scares me off. Plus the young Tigs have come out swinging, .293 vs. some pretty good pitching. You gotta score to win. On the positive side, the M's scored 6 last night; maybe it'll carry over to tonight.

Don't like fading Gilbert and don't like betting on a team that's not hitting. Liked your play last night, but gonna leave this one alone. Thanks for taking all the time to write it up.

Ha! You must be betting on the 'torpedo bat magic' with the Yanks. You definitely don't have an edge in the pitching match-up--Burnes against the kid from Brandon, MS. However, the Yanks' brass must see something in him; he wouldn't be on the mound tonight if they didn't.

Blanco had the best BABIP in MLB last year at .221...that is indeed super lucky...the worm could turn in 2025.

Nice play.

Utah no. 357 at the charity stripe...64%...that's junior high level FT shooting.

Money on Pfaadt is too dicey for me...I like that Buehler/Boston play.

Duke/Fla ML...1000/700...the bet is worth the risk...if it loses, so be it.

Get 'em, Crazy.

Great story...here's a line from one of his famous songs:

"Waist deep in the big muddy,

and the big fool said to push on."

It's on youtube if you want hear a real song...written in 1967...eerie how it rings true to the situation in 2025...waist deep in the big muddy, and the big fool said to push on.

Again, thanks for that story,
