MLB – 2016

170-152-3, $ +3,804.75, +5.85% RoR

8/26, 4-0, +865.01

8/27, Flat $240.00

Rockies +161, De La Rosa/Cole

I will concede I have only a 49.2/50.8 percent win probability here but +157 is a ridiculous line, worth playing for.

Twins +191, Santana/Stroman

Santana has flown under the radar all year by being with a lousy team but he can go head to head with Stroman any day of the week and for all the hype you hear, the BJ’s don’t hit righty any better or more productively than the Twins do.

Royals +151, Duffy/Price

Different venue, same scenario.

Reds, RL, -1.5, +148, DeSclafani/Godley

Perfect storm: DeSclafani over Godley alone is worth 80 cents of line value and the Reds currently hit righty better than the D-bax.

These four games all have a ton of HFA and bettor perception of “the better team” built in that just does not exist.

BOL  

Crashdavis “fade the Braves” is now 23-15, -175 (Giants closed -220)

Like the Reds today also. DeSclafani has been a pleasant surprise for the Reds once he came off the DL.

I would say the run line for the rox is a safer choice, I do see them getting on board in the top 1 inning. De la Rosas road record does not sit well with me neither.

God bless your Rockies coin flip. And thanks for the honesty on the win probability %.

Hopefully the "impatient" followers take the time to read the small description underneath the play in bold...and understand that it's a bargain play.

Now that you and B.O.B. are on the Reds, do I make a play on em and Gooch you guys, or sit back and take a couple more days off? Pretty bad tailspin I'm in.

Rockies F5 Key?
I love JDLR and especially in the heat, if it is a hot day in DC that will work for him. 
Logan, Estevez, McGee and even Qualls have been less than stellar in the pen for the Rox. Ottavino is simply money at the tail end but JDLR will only get 5-6 innings best case scenario against a veteran patient squad like the Nationals. From there, I think you lose some advantage to the Nationals pen. Just my two cents. Great day yesterday my friend and great run.

What do you think of the Royals at 100-1 to win the World Series?

I can't speak for BoB but personally I am not superstitious. Do whatever you want to do.

Maybe, but I wouldn't play it. If both starters are in form this is a pitcher's duel.

And if just 1 loses you are out $5.00. Hitting 4 out of 4 is one thing, hitting 4 out of 4 dogs is another. If I go 2-2 with any of them I make a profit.

Your money, your choice

I'm positive both Duffy and Price will show up for this game.

But which Boston offense shows up?

$10 for a Grand, sure, why not? You'll never miss the $10 but don't try to get greedy and get rich. It's a long shot, treat it like one.

What makes you think the Boston offense is the important one? Probability and productivity numbers (mine) are actually pretty close on this one. I think it is a Duffy/Price battle myself.

Just meant to say that either Duffy or Price will excel or fail and that will make the other offense look good, but it is really up to Duffy and/or Price.
