I'm on Jay's too. Have a strange feeling about it tho I would think Happ would be -190 vs Jiminez. Kind of feels like yesterday when Santiago with a million ERA almost pitched a shut out vs the Indians last night. Granted Jays are hitting a lot better than Cleveland. But fuk it if we lose we lose. Bol Key
The odds offered and then adjusted by bettors have almost nothing to do with true probability and everything to do with public perception and marketability. If you want the market to reflect your opinion of where the odds should be all you are doing is confirming public opinion. I think the BJ's are low (value), the Rangers are low (value) and the Astros are a false favorite (huge value). But, I am not coming at it like Joe six pack or hardly anyone else.

I thought the Angels would get three off of Straily last night. Little did I know that it would be in the first inning and it was all downhill after that. Good luck tonight Key!

We all have bad days, but that was Straily's first in a long time. He is still 17-8 for quality starts this season and folks that bet against him next time out because of last night may be in for another disappointment.

Folks are always saying they want to bet on “the better team”
and if the favorite, especially a home favorite, loses they call it an “upset”
or worse. Sometimes they go crazy at a pitcher, player, manager and/or umpire.
Sometimes a combination of the above. Sometimes they blame it on “the FIX”. But;
what is “the better team”? Is it W/L record? Is it H/A record? Is it the team
with the most all stars on board?
ALL of the above are bad methods. Team power ratings from
Covers, MLB, ESPN, CBS or any of the fantasy site are also worthless. You do
not field the entire team; you field 9 (10) guys from the active roster, and
that is where your performance probability comes from.
The true power rating of an MLB changes 161 times per
season; every single game from #1 to #162, and that’s a fact. Not one pitcher
or hitter goes into the next game with exactly the same ratings or probability he
had yesterday.
Tonight’s power ratings on my selections. These numbers are
adjusted to reflect 100 points available to both teams, as the basis of the
line is 100.
Toronto 116.1
Baltimore 83.9
Seattle 90.9
Texas 109.1
Oakland 107
Houston 93
Home field advantage is not applied in this case, but I
think I have chosen “the better team” in each case, even Oakland, and that is
why I called Houston a false favorite.

It's actually good to see guys like Key and Birds having bad nights every once in a while. It keeps them in check. They can both be very arrogant at times. Neither one handles criticism all that well. Basically, it's blow smoke up my rear and I'll call you a troll!
That being said...
Better luck tomorrow, Key!

Happ alone is worth a buck forty-two over Jimenez and the offense is another thirty-five cents. There is not enough home field advantage in the world to cover that.
Rangers -154, Paxton/Hamels
Paxton does not look bad but he is no Hamels (65.8/82.3), and the Rangers are hitting lefty a little better than the Mariners.
Athletics +160, Graveman/McHugh
Vastly undervalued Graveman (74.5) versus McHugh (60.4), and the Astros show only four quality outings in their last 15 versus righty.
BOL
Crashdavis “fade the Braves” is now 24-16, -212 (dnp 8/29)A rare opportunity for Crash today, the Braves are favored.
