"The Good 😊, the Bad 👿, the Ugly 🤮" (8/19)

4-2 yesterday (+2 units)

The Good:  Ortiz (PIT) AWAY  Pick:  PIT TT Over 3.5 (1 unit)

Since Cinco De Mayo, the PIT TT OVER 3.5 is 15-6 (.714) in Ortiz's starts and 5-2 (.714) in PIT's Game 1's of their last 7 road trips.  The TT lines for this game are not released at the time of this posting, but the PIT TT OVER is playable up to 4.5 runs as long as Urena is the TEX SP.  Since 7/1, TEX is 0-7 in Urena's appearances east of Los Angeles, and the opposing teams in Urena's last six appearances all scored 6+ runs.  Consider playing PIT ML (+110).

The Bad:  Kikuchi (HOU) vs. BOS  Pick:  BOS/HOU Over 8 (2 units)

The OVER 8 is 9-0-1 in the last 10 of the series, 10-2-1 (.833) in Houck's starts since 5/31, and 11-4 (.733) in Kikuchi's starts since 5/26.  Kikuchi has allowed 5 ER in each of his last three starts vs. BOS (10.66 ERA in 12.2 IP).  Houck's last two meetings with HOU yielded totals of 12 runs and 10 runs.

The Ugly:  Pitching @ MIA after a road trip  Pick:  ARI/MIA Over 8 (1 unit)

Since 5/1, the OVER 8 is 5-0-1 when MIA returns HOME in the first game after a road trip.  Since 6/1, the OVER 8 is 4-0 in ARI Game 1's of the second series of their road trips.  The OVER 8 is 4-0 in Pfaadt's last four starts

@Ricodamus

 Astros over under seems low. Partly because Kikuchi has found renewed life since traded to Astros. He’s allowed 2, 2 and 1 ERs in 3 starts since traded

That is certainly a worthy point, but Houxk is giving up points like local casinos on ladies night

@Ricodamus

 ,  Good luck 8 Ball, thanks for sharing the great write ups with us on a daily basis, way to bounce back on Sunday, great job, keep the momentum going on Monday.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, is this 8 Ball first (((2 unit play))), regardless of if it is or isn't, I hope you nail it brother.

Go Over 8 Astros/Red Sox game.

Over is 5-0 in Houcks last 5 starts overall.

BOL to you today!  

in the texas game looks  like dunning will get the start does this change your thoughts

The over is 10-0 the last 10 games the marlins have been a home dog.

@cbbanalysts

 Waiting for your plays

@Ricodamus

 GL today, on Mia. over but they put it at 8.5 which they do sometimes, .

its easy for over 8.5 with miami I agree :)

Looks like Dunning is getting the start for Tex..still like Pitt tt over?

in reference to the Zona/Mia game I have 8.5 is that still a go or now a pass since you stipulated Over 8 ???

@centurygrove

 I was actually thinking how in this situation I’ll pay around -140 for half run and be tempted parlay make up for it.

i mean if you trust the handicap you need 9 either way. May miss a win , may miss a push, but in long run I’m thinking extra juice not always worth it.

of coarse lots of factors,mostly size of bet

Grand Slam!!  4-0 ARI  Mid 3rd 

@Ricodamus

NEEDED THAT!

FRIGGEN ROOKIE DEL CASTILLO IS KILLING IT IN MLB.

Kikuchi first pitch home run, thats a good feeling for an over lol 

  5-3 ARI/MIA.  Freerolling now...

ARI/MIA understood the assignment.

Figures went to 8.5 so I waited and missed it. Now watch the other two lose lol second time I've done this.

Snakes and fish climb trees and jump out water and fly high to the over. 

Bless up Rico.Ez over booooooom
