For what it’s worth, last night was not a particularly good one, but it wasn’t bad either. I only used four teams and five sides on my parlay card, the Blue Jays 1st 5, the Mariners 1st 5 and full game, the Phils 1st 5 and the Brewers full game. I also had a side bet on the Mets 1st 5.
The Jays, Mariners and Phils all cashed, but the Brewers and Mets did not and those two games really pissed me off.
The Mets’ Max Scherzer was handed a 2-1 lead going into the bottom of the 5th. With Scherzer, that’s as close to a lock as you can get to a lock. However, with 1 out Scherzer gives up a single and then a HR to turn a 2-1 1st 5 win into a 3-2 1st 5 loss. He had only given up 11 this season. Great time to give up #12 *****!
The Brewers’ Devin Williams did the same damn thing in the bottom of the 9th. Williams blew a 3-2 9th inning lead and the Brewers squandered a great opportunity to pull even in the race for the final NL wild card spot, losing to the Marlins 4-3. This scumbag walked 2 batters in the bottom of the 9th and both advanced on a wild pitch before giving up a single that brought in both runners. Hard to believe that the Brewers tactually raded Josh Hader to make this guy their closer and the Brewers haven’t been the same since. How about a shout out for the Brewers brain trust.
I still finished the day +-1.47 units, but it should have been so much better. That leaves me +143.46 units for the season!
We have a full slate today, but as we approach the end of the regular season, there’s less and less that I like. As mentioned in recent posts, I won’t be doing detailed breakdowns until the playoffs. It just doesn’t make any sense to me. I’m very tempted to just pass on the trest of the regular season and wait for the playoffs. We don’t have many meaningful games.
It's family day, so here is my “first impression” card. Take it as such.

PHIL 1st 5 - It’s Zack Wheeler v Patrick Corbin. That’s a mismatch. It’s a probable playoff team v the worst team in baseball. That should alos be a mismatch.
TOR full game - Wacha v Gausman is too close to bet on, but the Jays are the better team and the Red Sox have thrown in the towel.
CLEV 1st 5 and full game – Max Castillo v Shane Bieber is a mismatch and for that matter so is the Royals v the Guardians.
LAD full game - The worst road team in the league v the best team in baseball.
That’s what I’ve got today
