Starting my baseball thread...

I usually bet 1st 5 innings ML based on pitching match-ups. currently i am working on a small chase system of such type picks. unofficially (not posted) i have gone 5-0 on 1st five inning ML wagers so far this season... winning on Cain, Kershaw, Worley, Harrison, and King Felix.

I am only 4-5 unofficially on game wagers, 3 of those loses came off of picking the Braves over the Mets, which could be interpreted as homer picks being i am from the ATL. so...
BE WARNED: If i have chosen the Braves, it may in fact be incredible game insight or just simple homerism... I have been a Braves fan since i was kid, when $1 'nose bleed' tickets could actually get you behind the dugout [since no one was there] pleading for Dale Murphy's autograph pregame and heckling division rival Lasorda and the Dodgers... usually however my Bravo picks come based on stellar pitching.

I will say that i tail more than i post. usually i follow the likes of Mr. Rodgers, TC, and the MadCapper. they are as solid as you can get.

BOL to everyone and lets play ball!!

UNBELIEVABLE yesterday. lets recap... Phils loose the matinee, nyjer morgan can't find the ball costing me the Brewers, and the Braves start 0-4 after choking the 1st five up 3 in the 3rd to the Astros with 4 errors.

YTD: 0-3

today... 1st five innings...

DODGERS -1/2 -135 (Kershaw) 4 to win 3

the ML was -215 and the line was only -135 giving up a half run. the difference in the risk/reward seemed worth the 1/2 point. i'm thinking LA will be up 2-0 by the 6th.

being i just started i didn't see the need in posting the -7.2 units since the post was directly above with the info needed to gather that conclusion. i figured anyone paying attention could figure it out. but since you pointed it out. there it is. my bad.

nice. Dodgers pulled that one out 1-0 after 5...

YTD: 1-3 (-4.2)

after my quick 5-0 unofficial start, monday really put a dent in that. but hopefully we're back on track.

gonna lay off Hanson and the Braves, even though that was my next best play.

Phi not having bats is what worries me about that one. I may do "No Runs Scored in 1st inn" for that game just to have a little degen action on it.

Most my 1st Five Innings are wagered on favorites...good pitching with a good supporting offense against a weaker opponent. however sometimes there might be an underdog like the Padres tonight. here is the reasoning on the Padres against the Dodgers (whom i usually bet on, not against)...

Clayton Richards...
G GS W L SV BS HLD CG SHO IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP BAA
Last game vs. LAD 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7.0 2 2 0 1 0 3 0.00 0.29 .080
Career vs. LAD 8 8 5 1 0 0 0 1 1 45.1 40 13 11 2 13 27 2.18 1.17 .241

Richard will face the Dodgers for the second time in a week after holding them to no earned runs on two hits in seven innings in his last start. Richard struck out three and didn't walk a batter. He did allow a two-run home run to Matt Kemp.

maybe that info will be helpful to some on this game tonight. BOL everyone!
