$242 Mariners-Rays, Under 6.5, -117 (Hernandez/Archer) W
$242 Twins, +103 (Porcello/Hughes) W
$242 Nationals, -108 (Scherzer/Lester) W
YTD 56-40, +$4,853.75 (+24.22% RoR)
5-28
$242 Pirates, -111 (Burnett/Kennedy)
BOL
Pirates: It is obvious even to the untrained eye that the Pirates are hitting the ball much better lately and certainly far better than the Padres, BUT: What may not be obvious is that A.J. Burnett has discovered the Fountain of Youth and has cranked it up a notch, maybe two. He is 7-2 for quality starts this season and has turned in three straight quality performances. The same cannot be said for Ian Kennedy, who is 4-3 for quality starts, but has made only one of those seven starts in a hitter’s park. Ignoring the offenses, the line value of Burnett over Kennedy alone is worth 55.5 cents and I make the Pirates probability 67.5%, versus the 52.6% needed to have value versus a -111 line.

I'm on the Pirates, too, Key. What do you think of the Yankees, with the low line? Seems like a good spot for Sabathia. He's won his 2 starts on the road. And the A's are not hitting lefties....

I am taking the day to work on Friday because frankly most of today’s card stinks. Here are acouple strong leans, but no totals, because I will not take the time to check weather or umpires.
Tigers, +133 (Farmer/Wilson)
Indians, -122 (Kluber/Paxton)
Pease don’t ask for more, I plan to be very busy.

Chris sale has significant value over Wilson in the early game. I believe the white sox will get one first before Orioles take the second in the double header.

This is exactly what I am talking about when I do not have a play you like. Yes, he does, and every bit of that value is built into the line. You no profitable risk-reward ratio. This is how amateurs get in trouble, no margin of profitability. BOL

Before anyone asks, there will be value in the Pirates up to -150, but it diminishes the more you let it rise. If you got it on the reduced juice overnite line like I did it pays 90 cents on the dollar of risk, but at -150 it will pay only 66.67 cents on the dollar of risk. That other 23.33 cents is significant value.

Took the Pirates last night at -115 ...... AJ Burnett has been a beast this season ...... I will add the Cleveland pick to my card .... I think Kluber has regained his Cy Young form from last year ....
Best of Luck today Key ......
and yes let the man rest ..... these picks have been greatly appreciated
