4-3 (+$115)
Thank you, it was a wonderful weekend wedding. We were up in Sedona @ L'Auberge. Its really a magical place, and if anyone ever gets the chance...I couldn't recommend it more. They have a beautiful river that runs right behind the resort, and with the backdrop of the red mountains, it couldn't be more beautiful. I wanted to take a peak at this one early, because I have a TON of work to do today with Europa League and Champions League this week. Not to mention, maybe a chance to steal some late weekend money with Crystal Palace and Arsenal. I digress and away we go!
Arizona Diamondbacks & San Francisco Giants U8 Runs -120 ($120 ---> $100) - So, here is where I am at on this one. Total was 9.5 when these two teams/pitchers met a week ago in Arizona. I took a swipe at the Under and it bombed over to the tune of 14 runs. Well, it wasnt actually that bad when you look at how the game played out. Drury has a brain-fart in the 2nd inning that cost them a run. Then, Pollock misplayed a ball in center in the third that added a couple more on. The Giants gave up 3 unearned runs with a Belt error. The game just got goofy and go out of hand. Neil Ramirez of the Giants (WHO?) and JJ Hoover (HUH?) both gave up runs in middle relief. It was just weird. I felt that both pitchers actually threw the ball pretty well and I expect more of that today. I've always looked at 8 as a sucker line, you know the whole 'if we can just get tied at 4' garbage. Im expecting a much cleaner game today and afternoon starts in San Francisco always produce a weird shadow effect late in the game. Just the time these questionable bullpens could use any advantage they can get.
I hope everyone has a great day!
