 Not stating that it should be a surprise, just that it will be increasing significantly in its affect on bettors.

Obviously, not meant for someone as savvy as yourself.  Others might not be as aware as you.

But thanks for stopping by!

Last year, almost 29% of the games played ended with a 3 point or less differential.

In my opinion, this year will blow that number away.

Easily over 30% and probably more like 33%.

There is parity in the league like has not been the case in a long, long time.  If ever.

You should be playing more money lines this year than you ever have before, as a general rule.

Large spreads (7 or higher) in the first 3-4 weeks of the year should be avoided or played strictly on the dog side.

Best of luck this year.

 Seen this happen over and over during the many years I have watched Covers.

Nothing obvious as to why he was banned.  No reasons given.

Just another good capper gone.

Supermanbets, just do what everyone does and make a new account with a VPN.

Appealing your case is a lost cause.  They won't even answer you back, believe me.

Got to say Hogan really impressed me.

Was not expecting that at all.

Still, the Devil Rays should have won that game.

Lines are up.

T.B. Devil Rays ML -210, RL -1.5 -130. TT OVER 5.5 +120, UNDER 5.5 -150.

O/U full game is 8.5 with the OVER at -105 and UNDER at -115.

A's ML +180, RL +1.5 +110, TT OVER 3.5 +130, UNDER 3.5 -160.

Interesting.

You don't often see the books take an approach like this on the O/U and team totals.

The O/U at 8.5 is short of the added TTs which is at 9.  And the juice on the TT UNDERs is just crazy high.

Do the books REALLY believe that the Devil Rays can't hit Hogan??????

And, as hot as the A's have been at the plate, the numbers say the books see them getting shut down tonight.

If the A's get can't hit tonight, their chances of winning are very low.  This is not going to be a 2-1 or 4-3 game.

Most conservative play is the ML at -210 then Devil Rays RL -1.5 at -130. 

The TT OVER 5.5 at +120 represents good value.  If the Devil Rays can't hit Hogan then they really have lost it.

Book still doesn't have this game listed so apparently it is not set who the "starter" will be tonight.

Either Jalen Beeks or Yonny Chirinos.  I'm thinking Beeks will open for Chirinos but we will see.

The A's streak is now 6 games.  If you took them every game, you might have just played the most profitable streak in MLB history.

But.

All good things must come to an end.

The A's are not going to win this series.  Medina and Blackburn are scheduled to go in game 3 and 4 respectively so they have a shot at winning one of two there.

But Hogan Harris for the A's tonight with his 6.46 ERA with a 1.30 WHIP and 12:9 K:BB over 15.1 innings is not going to get the job done.

He is the sacrificial lamb tonight.

Will decide how to play it once the lines are up.

Happy B Day Bro!

@crazy1464

 Look at this with a level head, my friend.

The Brewers are barely a .500 team.

The A's have been playing better than .500 ball in June.

The pitching advantage was with the A's no doubt.

And you must respect the streak.  Even with the A's.

A's up 4-2 now in the 4th.

Does not mean they will win the game, but the value at +170 was just too good to pass up.

@greenhead

 I would be very cautious with any under wager in this game.

Sears is 9Ks/2HRs in his last 3 games.

Peralta is 16Ks/5HRs in his last 3 games.

A couple of home runs in the right spots and this game flies over.

@buffer

 I agree that teams tailor their lineups and how they strategize for games to optimize their possibility of winning to avoid a sweep.

However.

Teams also consistently underestimate the A's and, like the general public, have a delayed response to an actual change in performance status.

The books lag too but not nearly as much since their algorithms can detect subtle changes much better than the human brain.

Peralta at home this year is 3.41/1.19 ERA/WHIP and away 6.04/1.66 so there is no doubt he pitches better at home.

I don't believe that will be enough to make the difference.

Sears has a 1.72/0.96 ERA/WHIP over his last 3 and 2 of those were on the road.

Best of luck!
