Since May 8th I've been spreading the bankroll over the entire board everyday minus a couple of games. My record is 42(w)-20(L) (6 pushes) mostly thanks to my comfort level with the run line cushion. Today is full of intriguing pitching match ups in the 8 games on the board---Today Im not super confident in the legibility of each game and have to really dig deep to finally conclude a projected winner. We could wing it and bet on the familiar aces like Greinke (KC) or Sabathia (NYY) but although exceptional pitching lines are likely, the victories for their clubs aren't certain. I have 8 projected winning bets for today's schedule---I'll throw some dart facts out for each game, a short form reasoning for 3 of my plays. Today looks shaky, but at least a tread water outcome (maybe a 4-4, 5-3 record) would be acceptable. I'm more or less looking ahead, as I have ambitions of sweeping up the full 15 game schedule tomorrow.
Seattle Mariners@Baltimore Orioles (F.Hernandez @ K.Millwood)
-Baltimore is starting to catch up to their losses with better play as of late.
-Seattle looks as though they are starting to snap out of their current hitting slump.
-Seattle starter Hernandez has had success vs. the Orioles, most notably in Camden Yards.
-Hernandez also a top pitcher coming off a terrible start; redemption likely.
-Orioles starter Millwood struggles vs. the Mariners lineup, they hit him well.
-I think this game gets away from Baltimore in the later innings.
Seattle Mariners (-130)
Houston Astros@St. Louis Cardinals (B.Norris @ C.Carpenter)
-Norris has got the better of the Cards but not anyone else, I think that changes today.
-Houston won the 1st 2 of this road series, and although well capable of a sweep-not with this pitching matchup (again);
-Familiarity should catch up to Astros starter Bud Norris and I expect the Cardinals lineup to hit. On the flip side, Cardinals starter Carpenter can shut down anyone---especially in his home park.
St. Louis Cardinals -2 (-113)
New York Yankees@Detroit Tigers (C.C Sabathia @ J. Verlander)
-Close pitching matchup, initial instinct is to take the Yanks b/c one doesnt expect them to lose a series. Verlander is an ace with exceptional numbers vs. the Yankees. He's also pitching in his home park and has more of a knack for day games. Reading deeper into this, regardless of the improbability of the Tigers taking 3/4 from the Yankees I would read a low scoring close game unless the bullpens get handled. The safety is on here for me.
Detroit Tigers +2 (-180)
