MLB 5/13 Don't Pay The Ransom!

Season, 25-21-9 - + $2,154.32 - +14.4% RoR

5/13 - $365 each – flat bets - [3% of bankroll, 10,000 +/- profit/loss]

F5 – Blue Jays +145 – Stripling/Morton

Comment: The crowd is embarrassing me by acting like complete out-of-towners, but I have managed to escape them (don’t pay the ransom!) for at least a little while. Meanwhile the Jays have popped the Braves 5 straight meetings and there is no reason they can’t sweep the season series. For all the swagger they strut with the Braves really aren’t a very good team. Please, no trends, angles or “won’t get swept at home”. None of that interests me. I want the better chucker and offense playing better ball.

Maybe another later if I can ditch the crowd again.

Now, as for all that drivel you guys pasted onto my completely clean and non-prurient thread yesterday, I intend to address that, but not until I have breakfast and escaped the crowd again. Sheesh, you guys are something else.

Jays know Morton from AL

6 bats over 0.300...

Jays sweep

Nuff said

GL today Key

@KeyElement

 Dude your still on here legend!

GOAT!!! Saw this late and took Jays down 2 and +890 F5!!

Don't worry no one would have paid the ransom even before the warning!  Do they show M's games in France? theyre gonna win tonight vs cleve

@TopHog

 Wow, that's killing them  

@BABYFACE024

 Gee thanx pal. I wouldn't have been worth the ransom huh? even if it was only $20.00?

@KeyElement

 Are you in Paris or Las vegas...I thought vegas

Damn, you are on a roll Key. 

I have a theory. To me, baseball is looking a lot more like baseball. And it's because they deadened the ball. Basically using a real baseball again. Not that juiced up Titlest that our old friend LC would mention.

I think that there are less variables this way. I haven't seen any homers on "excuse me swings". I haven't seen guys with warning track power tally whacking their slugging %.

It's a good time to be a handicapper of pitching.

Does it feel like the good ole days again?

The books are putting up totals around 8/8.5 on a regular basis. We are seeing more 7.5's than 9.5's.

@undermysac

 Well said....FWIW - down my wheel house  as well - thank gawd..found these last years handicapping bases a lot harder than years ago...

Only one team is hitting over .300 with risp. That's the Reds at .308.

18 teams are hitting under .250.

@undermysac

 Pitching is the heart and soul of the game. When they turn it into Home Run Derby they take everything predictable about it out of the game. If they do that again or move the mound back I may call it a day and chuck it all. I could refresh my skills and go back to card counting at Black Jack, but that is a real grind, not E-Z money like so many think. Or maybe basketball, there is still some money to be made there.

@umgmu

 BOTH: I am @Paris, Las Vegas. Sorry about the misleading crap I posted for a day or two but it was fun and didn't hurt anybody. 

@KeyElement

 F5 – Mariners +110 – Plesac/Gilbert

Don't underrate or overlook this kid. 

@KeyElement

 Who ever thought that a drunk Irishman or a dumb Pollock could count cards?

What's the total? That one will be low scoring

u3.5   +100

@undermysac

 I compute 9.5 because I think both offenses are a little undervalued, but I won't be touching the total. Books are showing 7.5 but that does not mean I endorse the over, just won't touch the under. PASS.

@undermysac

 Hey, K-man, how about Burnes 52:1 K/BB ratio? Does that compute?

@KeyElement

 Gotcha...yes their is a Paris in Vegas..I stay at venetian.

The 2 ucla kids won last night as road dogs.

Will take a shot on Gilbert tonight
