Elaine's Pretty Li'L Corner

I had a great week. Hope everyone is having a great week as well. The run line winning streak is 6 straight bets since last Saturday. I have not looked at the lines yet.

I will post my run line pick for the day this afternoon.

However, there was a baseball article yesterday on MLB's best bets during day games the last three years and listed the top 5 winning teams since 2008.

1. LA Angels 85-39

2. NY Yankees 92-56

3. Toronto Blue Jays 83-64

4. Chicago Cubs 114-89

5. Tampa Bay Rays 69-55

Let's see, this year so far those five teams have the following record for day games:

LA Angels 19-14

NY Yankees 24-12

Toronto Blue Jays 20-18

Chicago Cubs 23-27

Tampa Bay Rays 18-10

This makes for some interestingparlay ideas in the future. Especially the Yankees... they will be playing two more games against the Royals, and then followed by a three game series against Cleveland. But those three games against Cleveland are evening games.

If it weren't for the starting pitcher for the NYY, I may pick them for the Run Line game for today. But I'm looking for more value, something that will give a + on the return bet. I'll post that later.

I am thinking of a small parlay with the NY Yankees and Chicago Cubs today. Any parlays you guys are thinking of for today?

I've decided to take a 3-game parlay. NY Yankees ML, Chicago Cubs ML, Colorado Rockies -1.5 +105 RL. Risking 25 To Win 100. Since NYY and CHC are 1:05PM games and the CR game starts at around 4:05PM, I can always hedge on the PHL/COL game taking PHI later at RL+1.5 -125.

As for the Run Line. I am waiting for the Toronto Blue Jays run line to appear. I am leaning towards them for today's run line wager. 

Thanks flyp and sccapper.

NYY getting destroyed by KCR 7-2 so far. The small parlay is looking very bleak right now.

My pick for the day is Toronto Blue Jays RL -1.5 +140

Thanks soLegit, ejeezy, and Rebeltell. Good luck on your Angels play Rebeltell.

So far with Toronto -1 1/2 +140 so good.

After the 1st it was Toronto with a 1-0 lead, then took a 2-0 lead at the top of the 3rd. Detroit scored in the bottom of the 3rd to get within 2-1. Toronto scored another run on top of the 5th and made it a 3-1 lead. The top of the 5th is not over with Toronto threatening to score with 1 man out and man on scoring position on 2nd base.
