For what it’s worth, it’s Sunday and we have a shitload of day games. Yesterday started out looking like a good day, as I won all three games, the Yankees, Indians and A’s. I went into the night games feeling pretty good. I just needed one win out of three games to lock in a profit. Unfortunately that win never came. Instead, the Twins, Dodgers and Padres all lost. When you parlay five teams and three of them lose, you’re totally screwed. I lost 8.59 unit yesterday. That leaves me -4.78 units for the season. I must really suck.
What in the hell is wrong with the damn Twins? They’re supposed to be an elite team, but they’ve lost their last three to the Pirates and twice to the Royals? Those are two of the five worst teams in the league with a combined record of 9-22. That’s embarrassing. Maybe last season’s juiced ball helped them more than I thought. Maybe they’re just not that good.
Then there’s the Dodgers. They’re supposed to be the best team in baseball, but they’re not even leading their division. They’ve lost three times to the Giants, who are supposed to be one of the worst teams in baseball.
As for the Padres, every time they convince me that they might be a good team…they crap the bed.
I’m in a really pissed off mood this morning. I love baseball, but I’m beginning to hate this baseball season. The extra inning rule is absurd and over half the teams in the league will now make the playoffs? Is this some kind of sick joke! Play .500 ball and you’re in? The truth is that pro sports as a whole is really pissing me off. The way they’re kissing China’s ass, the NBA should change its name to the CBA (Chinese Basketball Association). And the NFL actually thinks that we’ll tolerate these overpaid clowns taking knees during our national anthem? Where else but in the good ole USA could they make this kind of money playing football? Wake up and smell the coffee America!
Now, on to today’s plays. I will have no write ups today. There’s just no time, so I’ll just give you my plays and quickly explain the reasoning behind each play. Have a great day.
2-TEAM ML Parlays
WASH 1st 5 + NYM 1st 5 ML +103 for 1 unit
WASH 1stML 5 + LAD ML -102 for 1 unit
NYM 1st 5 ML + LAD ML -106 for 2 units
LAD ML + OAK ML +127 for 2 units
LAD ML + COK ML +134 for 2 units
OAK ML + COL ML +180 for 2 units
Nats: The Nats haven’t been very good so far this season and they haven’t hit, but Wojciechowski v Strasburg should be a mismatch
Mets: With the Mets, they can hit, but their bullpen’s been a disaster and their quality staers other than deGrom are….. deGrom, however is very good.
Dodgers: I don’t think that they’ve really played all that well, but I still really like Buehler a lot more than Kevin Gausman. The Dodgers are the much better team.
A’s: The OAK club is solid and this kid Luzardo looked really good last time out. The Astros have a target on their backs every time they take the field, and this season no Cole, no Verlander and no Miley = no chance
Rockies: Marquez is best on the road away from Coors. Sheffield has shown flashes but doesn’t look ready, plus the Mariners stink.
Straight bets
PHIL 1st 5 (Game #1) -108 (2 units)
Ynoa gave up 6 runs in one inning in his last outing in MIL. Velasquez is better than that.
TB 11st 5 -135 )(1 unit)
Morton has 2 good starts in his last 2 outings and Paxton’s had none and has looked like crap.
DET ML (-135) (2 units)
We have two crap teams, but one is hitting better than the other, ans Turnbull is better than Brault.
MINN ML -146 (1 unit)
Berrios has had 2 good outings in a row. The Twins have to be tter than they’ve shown in this series don’t they?
TEX 1st 5 ML -113 (1 unit)
In Lance Lynn I trust. \
CLEV/CHI WS 1st 5 Under 3.5 -120 (1 unit) and full fame Under 7.5 -120 (1 unit)
Bieber v Giolito show be an excellent matchup and the Tribe has a great pen. Don’t expect a lot of offense here.
Be back tomorrow..
