Record 4-3-1, +60.49, RoR 8.64%

5/08

F5 Angels +107, Soriano/Perez

All kinds of contrarian crap applies to the “apparent” probability of both teams here. The Angels, and Soriano have faced a brutal schedule thus far with 28 of their 36 opponents being over .500. That is 77.8%. The Pirates counter with 59.5% over .500, but that still is not the same as the Angels have faced. Compensating for that (by my secret formula) I find the Angels with a team power rating slightly higher than the Pirates. Thus far Soriano and Perez look comparable, but Perez is more likely to  regress. All things considered I think we have a false favorite here. Include the Angels 3-1 vs lefty and the Pirates 9-15 vs righty and you have another valuable angle. Toss out the “visitor on getaway day” theory and there you have it.

 As for you, A-hole, I dunno  

That was one lousy azz way to lose guys, sorry about that, but it happens.

@KeyElement

Ridiculously tough beat. Bad pitching showing up yet again. BOL on any other bets today.

Cant keep walking people. Horrible beat. 2 outs and all runs scored after that. 

Angels find ways to lose,really bad team

@jesron1269

"Bad pitching showing up yet again."

Soriano was cruising. It's almost as though his meds (or something else) disappeared instantly. They could win FG, and if they do I will be using that emoticon with the guy beating his head on the brick wall. 

@KingScorpio

 I hope not today!

brutal loss we go again

Yeah man I feel you. Walks will always get you in the end. Douche just stopped pitching and was only throwing. You will bounce back. BOL!

5/08 Pick #2

F5 Diamondbacks -108, Montgomery/Ashcraft

No write up. All the same work has been done for the pick, but I ain’t in no mood to type.

Trust Me.

BOL 

@KeyElement

 Unbelievable tough beat. That bet was losing for maybe ten minutes in a three hour game

My previous play was KC ML so it’s rough right now

Bad things happen in threes?

Peace emoji

That push REALLY felt like a win. A bunt single after double stolen bases seemed inevitable 

And here come the runs in the sixth inning again…….

@Ramanujan

 Luck is always part of the equation; we know that and we live with it. BUT, some days it is all good or all bad, and that makes us laugh or groan. Science will never find a way for us to control luck or we would all win a billion dollar lottery. Like the Angels, the D-bax came right back with the go ahead run, top of the 6th

Tomorrow I doubt I will probably not have a pick. Only seven games and none are attractive so far. However; I will have a post I would like all regulars to read.

Thank You
