1-1 on 4/18 drops my game win % to 54.6%. but the bankroll goes up and it still takes 66.2% @ 11/10 to match the RoR. I notice more folks catching on to the true mathematics of baseball wagering so let’s keep up the daily recap for a while.

I am not a big fan of Hahn and Perez was an early season big winner last year, apparently tiring after the break and not doing as well late in the season. That may be a pattern with him but I will back him today in a bounce back situation for the Rangers. Another advantage we have is that after a great ST run the A’s are now struggling with lefties.

Pretty sure I will have a 5 inning play after the lines open, but overall today’s card looks a little slim for dog opportunities.

I like the Dodger Blue today
Anderson is just not the same guy as last year and the Dodgers have to be soooo tired of the they cannot hit Lefties crap.

They can hit this guy, this year and the Rox cannot hit the best pitcher in baseball
Usually on principle alone, I will take the RL at even in a game at a line of 6.5 O/U but today I am going to lay the 1.5


Thanks for the picks buddy

Cardinal rule of mine: Never play a home favorite on the 9 inning run line. 5 innings is much smarter. BOL

Lines I use are from Heritage, BetOnline or 5Dimes. Never had a problem, and the odds you see on my picks are exactly what I got at the time I played.

Heritage is in bold because they have had the least delay.

I can see that but the Rox ran their best out there yesterday and the Dodger's being  behind did not. I think today, the Dodgers (if in the lead) will get a little more edge from their Bullpen than the Rox who figure to use some of their middle inning guys.... We will see, we will see.

key, have you thought about making any ingame plays with your bets? maybe doing  a half bet pregame and then the other half sometime during the game? unless your side runs away with it from the get, you can almost always get a better line.  or would you rather bet it and forget it?

The giants DO hit lefties well.  Currently 5th in the MLB scoring 22 runs    Kansas City on other hand is DEAD LAST at 3 measley runs so far. Eeeesh.   Good luck with your UNDER.  I had to take bad bum in the -130s since posey is back.   That team really really needs a new left fielder    And span needs to retire.  Pagan cannot be worse than him.

That might help a lot of guys and looks like a pretty fair idea, but it is not for me personally. I do not like to play any side unless I can figure the dog to win outright or the favorite to win by two or more (5 inning run line being the exception). Better than -1.5 on a home favorite though, that's for sure.

Nope. I lays my bets and pays the price. Not interested in chasing or guesstimating on the fly.

My bad, you are correct. Vargas has been so sharp thus far that is where my trust lies and he is a change up pitcher in a big park, with low exit velocity on contact. I will stick with the play, but you are correct about Giants offense. Must have been typing off the top of my head without putting my brain in gear.

I can see that one. Overvalued pitching / undervalued offense.
