2021 HOT STOVE

Nice work Jeg 

Luke Weaver on the bump for AZ

I am really lost here. Just what do bettors consider important? In the Royals you have the S.T. leader in home runs, 2nd in OPS and a low 2.36 to 1 K/BB ratio. You have the experienced Duffy, with a start under his belt, versus the relatively inexperienced and unimpressive Newsome, yet the Royals are the dog. HFA is relatively worthless in S.T., but I would bet that "at home" the Royals would be at least -120, maybe -130. To top it off you have a hot team on a 3 game win streak versus a disaster on a 3 game losing streak.  

Go figure.   

Maybe that will help him float when that fault line starts moving again? He could end up in Hawaii with BDC

@barneybeans

 Prescient insight on your part Barney. With Garcia on the hill for the Yankees, and no announced starter for the Braves, they are both drawing the bettors money. Folks have to be betting perception and nothing else. "Great teams, they gotta come around." 

@KeyElement

 I might join you on the Royals 

3/9

MIN -170 (DK) 3U

Snell vs Lynn, SD +105

No lineups for either team announced and this line means split squad or something for SD today and the oddsmakers know this. Don't you think? No Machado, no Tatis jr, no Grisham giving the fellas a day off.... Maybe Cronenworth 1st

Something's fishy there.

Hitting refresh on the lineups page every 5 seconds...

I looked at that game with a microscope Barney, the line is pretty close to what it should be imo. Gun to head I'd take the Rays, but not touching it.

Wait a minute, I'm now seeing the Red Sox playing the Rays. Lines are up

The SD lineup is only slightly mediocre, not as bad as I thought. Came out about 15 mins ago.  No line movement. CWS still not posted.

Taking:

Wait a minute...Snell plays for the Padres.

Barney, criticize my microscope now. 

Adding:

Boston +160 *.25/.40

Detroit +155/.39

Wow, the Royals are -129 now, missed the boat. I hate my job. The working man is a sucker

 Thanks sac,

Have you seen all the new rules for S.T. for pitchers? One could hurt really bad.

Michael Kopech is scheduled to pitch for the White Sox today.

From a Great Movie = A Bronx Tale      "He Bet The Horse" as Sonny tears up his tickets before the race is over, CLASSIC.

We got a Song and now Movies lines, awesome.

What am I missing here?  The Rangers are rolling out 3 of the biggest swing and miss hitters in the bigs 3,4,5 today and are only favs because Cle is rolling out the C team.  If your book offers totals take the under.    wow
