Good Morning Guys -
Welcome to the new guys on board who have signed up for the 40% off promo pricing. 3-2 last night & 10-4 this week. A couple unders that weren't close, and part of the grind of MLB. We had the Rangers UNDER 8, beat the market as it went to 7 actually right before 1st pitch at a couple places. But we'll take the 3-2, and we're sitting between +8* to +9* this week.
One from today's card:
- Chi Cubs +110, 1st 5 innings, 2* - For those of you who know me, you know I like playing the 1st 5 inning bets with pitchers who hitters haven't seen. This Hendricks kid is solid & there's little to no tape on him. I like him to mow through the line-up the first time through, before hitters can make an adjustment. Phillips hurt for the Reds, and that impacts their line-up no doubt. And which Bailey do we get? The one from the last 2 games or the one before that who struggled? Regression says somewhere in between, and we'll take our chances here.
- CWS/Boston UNDER 8, -115, 2* - Quintana & Lester are enough to play this under. Boston's lineup has been inconsistent with hitting this year, and I like Quintana to slow them down enough. Lester SHOULD be as motivated as ever with a new contract in the works, and because we're on the early game and I can't wait to see lineups, I am guessing that a couple 'hitters' will sit this one out. Even if they don't, I think this line is a little high simply because of playing at Fenway. So we'll take a 2* chance here.
Good Luck.
