10:10 EST - Milwaukee Brewers@ Los Angeles Dodgers Under 7 (-105)
My model projects this game at 5.80 total runs. With 8 needed for this bet to lose, we have 2.2 runs of value. That's right on the cusp of what I look for in a total, but with my number 1 ranked pitcher Zach Greinke looking to bounce back against the slumping Dodgers offense (last in extra base hits and #24 in total offense over their last 7 games), I just had to pull the trigger. The dodgers aren't the only offense that's in a slump and dealing with injuries. The Brewers have a very depleted line-up and are slowly dropping in my offensive power rankings (they're #24 in extra base hits and #23 in total offense over their last 7 games). In particular, the Brewers are having trouble finding their offense against righties as they've recently slipped to #23rd in my power rankings against right-handed pitchers like Billingsley. Even after the starters exit, they will be backed by two bullpens I rank in the top 10. Over the last 5 years the Dodgers stadium has been the 4th most pitcher friendly park in the majors so don't be afraid of the low total here. It looks to be the right play.

I really wanted to play the over in Colorado but I can't understand why the heck the oddsmakers have the total at 9.5 with Guthrie on the mound after the way these two teams have been swinging the bats the last few days. I know Tulo is out, but he was questionable when they opened the line at 9.5 (-120) last night. They could have opened this game at 10.5 and dropped it to 10 when Tulo was scratched from the line-up card. Smells like a trap and I'm going to stay away from this game entirely for that reason despite strong leans on Houston and the over.

Since 2009, Greinke has had 6 games where he allowed 7 or more earned runs in a game. Following those games, he bounces back averaging 2.16 earned runs and he never conceded more than 4 in any of the 6 games.
Even with 2 blow-up starts this season, he's still ranked number 1 in my quantitative power rankings. I'm expecting 7 innings and 2 earned runs from him tonight. 3-2 final Brewers win.

Might sit it out till the half. I can't make up my mind. I want to bet the Spurs, but it's a hard bet to take in a do-or-die game in OKC. I already have a future on the Spurs to win the series so that's action enough for me.

Wow you are by far the best poster on here. Thanks so much for taking the time to prepare and post those stats. I also like the Silly Consulting certification at the bottom of your graphs haha
I am leaning towards the under as well. Everytime I bet the over on the NL West teams it's always under. Without Braun Kemp and Lucroy to knock em in I think this one stays low.

Boy do I feel stupid for not going heavy on the over in Colorado. The unnecessarily low line scared me off it, but 9 runs in the first 2 innings already. All signs pointed towards a high scoring game again but I was a big chicken. Looks like I'm going to miss out on a big ticket.

10:10 EST - Milwaukee Brewers @ Los Angeles Dodgers Under 7 (-105)
Considering how many base runners there were in this game, I'm not sure I deserved to win this one anyways. Even still, hurts to give up 3 runs to lose by 1 in the 9th inning. Thought I had a good beat on this game with Greinke only allowing 1 earned through 6 with good bullpen work after he left. Oh well, win some, you lose some.
