Dodgers go to game 2...and one Tuesday start tonight.
That's it for this set of games.
Good luck!
Milw@ LA Dodgers -1.5 +190 GM 2 for 2 units
Tuesday starts
St.Louis @ NY Mets ML -109 GM 1 for 1 unit
P.S. there are many ways to play this...my way is not the only way to look at it. I am keeping things simple for record keeping with the 1 unit and 2 unit wagers.
But from a risk point of view...you would not have to play the full 2 units on the Dodgers with such a large Run Line at +190.
It's up to you of course...

How to play the 2 Game RL Chaser System
1). The home team is "chased" for a winning wager in the first two games of a series.
Important! We only play GM 2 if GM 1 is a losing wager.
2). Wagering is simple. Determine your unit size, keep in mind that losing chases will cost you approximately -3 units or a little more.
3). 1 unit is wagered on GM 1 and if necessary, 2 units are wagered on GM 2.
If the GM 1 wager wins, the chase stops and we bank the profit for that match up.
4). If the GM 2 wager loses we stop the chase losing approximately -3 units on that chase.
In a nutshell, we are picking the best performing home teams vs the worst performing away teams and expecting the home team to win one of it's first two wagers, which will give us a profit by using the best combination of Run Line, or ML odds as described above with a one unit and two unit progression.
===================================
FAQ
1). How do you pick which teams to wager on?
Performance and efficiency stats are used to filter and pick the match ups that will (in theory) provide the best opportunity for a Run Line win. (Favorite wins by 2 runs or more). Never be afraid to use the Run Line, these are specifically picked to win on the Run Line (in theory of course). However it makes sense to use dog or small fave ML's when available, just because it's a better chance for a winning wager.
2). Why use Run Lines? Why not just play them all on the ML?
Because this is a chase system that progresses from 1 to 2 unit wagers, using Run line odds helps us keep our risk and bankroll management reasonable. Capping our losses as near to 3 units as possible is one of our goals to avoid killing our bankroll with a bad run of losses.
In other words we need the dog odds whenever possible by using Run Lines or the rare ML dog, or very small favorites on the ML <-115.
3). I'm confused...I thought this was a Run Line system but I see you are using ML odds for some games. Why?
In theory, most of our wagers will be on heavy favorites because we are filtering for the best at home vs the worst away match ups. However, because of pitching match ups we will sometimes have dog odds or very small favorite odds available on the ML. We are not locked into just using Run Lines...we want the best chance to win our wager...AND have reasonable or plus odds.
If we can get + dog ML odds or small favorite odds <-115 ML on a team that we think is over performing vs it's competition we can just use the ML.
No need to lessen our chances with the Run Line in that situation. We'll take the ML when we can get it...but it should be rare, because we are filtering for the very best favorites at home.
4). Does it make a difference if it's a 2 game, 3 game or 4 game series?
No.
5). Ok...Ok...I think I get it. What is the easiest way to play this system?
1. Determine your unit size...multiply your unit x 3 to make sure you can stomach a chase loss that large. Adjust to what feels comfortable for you and your bankroll.
2. Look for the matchups posted here...keep in mind there are Thur/Friday and Mon /Tues starts to different 3 and 4 game series.
3. Play Gm 1 for 1 unit. If it wins, bank it and play the others or wait for the next series matchups.
4. If the GM 1 wager loses, play GM 2 of the series for 2 units.
5. Play ML odds up to -115...if it's higher than that switch to the Run Line. (Most cases you will be on the Run Line). 6. If Gm 2 loses, stop the chase for that match up and take your loss.
7. Repeat as necessary.
6). Does that cover it?
There are a few situations I didn't cover that will eventually come up.
If we cap ML's at -115 we should also cap RL's at -115. The Yankees and late season favorites will become an issue. We'll have to figure that out as we go. It might be wise to just eat the GM1 losses when GM2 odds are just too high... RL > -115.
Just because we had early success, don't "POUND" it now. It might fall apart, who knows?
But it is a lot of fun to play, with quite a bit of action and excitement with large RL dogs and GM 2 double wagers that spice it up for reasonable risk.
Keep your units reasonable and I think we might really have a fun system here.

Pretty damn nice hitting the Dodgers Run line +190 for 2 units...+2.75 units just for that series including the GM 1 loss.
Mets go to game 2 Wednesday...it's an early game.
St. Louis @ NY Mets ML +121 GM 2 for 2 units
Good luck! It would be nice to get this one.

What a Dick Slappin! Thanks MJ :toast:
The Mets hit my profile, which is not based on Last 10 games or yearly stats at all.
I hear what you are saying though...we might be better off filtering out some of these match ups....(Like Baltimore in the last set which was a home dog the entire set)
I have watched a similar Run Line system for over 2 seasons of baseball and there are some things to learn from it...that can help us here. We want to play clear favorites...if a team is a ML dog at home...that is a warning sign for us and this system.
If you have money in the bank with the Dodgers...there is nothing wrong with skipping the Mets game 2 and wait for the next set.
I'm not so sure I want to risk the whole Dodger Run Line win on the Mets today either.
I don't think we need or want to change much here...but filtering out the worst teams that still manage to qualify because of a short term run would tighten things up I think.
But it's tricky...you don't want to lose the good match ups that pay out in the process.
It's a fine line...sometimes you have to accept it will never be perfect.

on it, lets hit this play, scared due to the fact that my mets suck but today lets get the win
without the mets injuries I would say it was the right pick for sure , don't know what happened with Balt they just caught boston when they got hot ,
Lohse has seen nine of his last 10 starts result in losses for the Cardinals, going 1-6 with a 4.99 ERA in that span, while also landing on the disabled list June 6-July 12 with a right forearm strain. He's 0-2 with a 4.50 ERA in four starts since returning, but the offense has provided him with three runs or less in each outing.
The Mets will give rookie Jonathon Niese (1-1, 4.50) his first start against the Cardinals. The 22-year-old started strong against Colorado on Thursday, throwing five scoreless innings before he was eventually charged with four runs and eight hits in 6 1-3 innings of a 4-2 loss.
The mets pitcher got hurt running to 1st base if I remember right anyway was pulled out and the relievers lost the game for him but he was looking very good before that
