I was chuckling at the idea of the Flubs being favored on the road yet again, but I woke up today thinking that they might be ticked off following another blown save and another walk off loss. Ticked off at themselves, though. The offense probably felt they scored enough runs in the series finale in Philadelphia and that the bullpen never should've blown a solid 5-1 lead in the bottom of the 9th. Last night, though, the offense had to have felt that they didn't do enough to secure a win. Anyways, that was just a thought I had, but then I checked out RLeith35's thread and found this...
"The Cubs are 8-0 with Jon Lester as a road favorite when their bullpen allowed runs in each of their last two games. Chicago won every game by multiple runs and the average final score was 7.75 runs to 1.75 runs"
Wow! I like the Cubs on the runline at even money.

Jon Lester's defense is picking him up so far today in Pittsburgh. He sure didn't fool the Pirates lineup the first time through. Jason Heyward's diving catch to end the 2nd inning will probably be a Sportscenter Top 10 Play.

I think when Houston played 13 innings and scored 2 runs it was a glaring indication. If you bet against them trying to make money that is proper. I like the get them down and kick them theory but I seem to be detecting something personal here. This is a business you just try and make good bets and make money with very little emotion

Everyone seems real impressed lately with the Cardinals (winners of 6 of their last 7), but they did that damage against the Pirates (who one week ago were still ice cold) and the Royals. Prior to that, though, the Cardinals were really tested in Oakland and L.A. and they flunked the test. They lost all five games. The Reds' Anthony DeSclafani has been solid at home since the beginning of June. His only hiccup came in his last home start against the Angels when he coughed up a harmless 3-run shot to Albert Pujols in the top of the first. I say "harmless" because it was the Angels, who were so inept at the time that they didn't even make it out of that 1st inning with the lead. The Reds went on to win easily 8-4. So is anyone scared of Miles Mikolas? I'm not not, not when he starts on the road. I like the Reds tonight and I like them even more in the 1st 5 innings.

I refer everyone to Gettinghot4now's thread which features a wise and some might even say snarky comment by me that you won't want to miss. It's related to this Saturday night Cardinals/Reds clash.

No one seems to be interested in the Rays today after they got blanked by the lowly Tigers yesterday, and given the -300 price tag, that's understandable, but did you know....that last night was the sixth time this season the Rays were held to less than 2 runs in a home loss that wasn't a series finale? And that the Rays responded with wins following each of those previous five losses? Check it out...
On March 28th (Opening Day) the Rays lost to the Astros 5-1. They defeated them the next day 4-2.
On June 29th the Rays lost to the Rangers 5-0. They defeated them the next day 5-2.
On July 13th the Rays lost the first game of a doubleheader to the Orioles 2-1. They won the second game 12-4.
On July 20th the Rays lost to the White Sox 2-1. They defeated them the next day 4-2.
On August 5th the Rays lost to the Blue Jays 2-0. They defeated them the next day 7-6 in 10 innings. That one was a little trickier because Andrew Kittredge (that night's opener) and tonight's starter Ryan Yarbrough combined to put the Rays in an early 6-0 hole.
Add to that this trend posted today by RLeith35...
The Tigers are 0-13 as road dogs in the second game of a series vs. a team that has lost at least its last two games.
I noticed at least a couple of posters who saw fit to fade the Rays today. I don't think this is the right spot to do that. Routine runline winner coming up.

Mr Bator I was talking to you. No insult intended but your tone through all this seemed to have a personal edge to me. If wrong I appologize
I have nothing personal against the Astros. In fact I'd rather not tangle with powerhouse teams like the Astros and the Dodgers, but if the oddsmakers are going to make the Astros favored every day in the home of a team that's 15 games over .500 at home, and then 16 games over .500 at home, and today 17 games over .500 at home.....then I'm ready to tangle.

I just recommended a huge home favorite on the runline and now I will recommend another one, the Red Sox -1.5 -170. With the Orioles on a 5-game skid and the Red Sox winners of 3 in a row, I expect as much of a fight from the disinterested Birds as they showed last night. It was just a month ago that Asher Wojciechowski locked the Red Sox DOWN on a Sunday afternoon in Baltimore. The Orioles cruised to a 5-0 win and a shocking series win. Nobody told the Red Sox there'd be days like that. Strange days indeed, not to mention really embarrassing. Poor Asher will be on the Fenway Park mound tonight.

The fiesty A’s have made us alot of money recently. Question looms as the Yankees loom on Monday:
Does Oakland finish off the sweep tomorrow? Surely, this will be sizable underdogs to Greinke.
