I dont post often unless I feel strongly about something. Here are two plays im playing straight and parlaying
Giants Phills
Cueto has stated with our local media how he is going to opt out after this year and head to the AL. I dont really know why, but hed rather be in AL and he has been very hittable this year. My guess is with the Giants well below .500 hes not trying as hard and not focused. With MLB pitchers, if they dont have the focus they give up hits. Phills as shitty as their hitting has been, they have young talent. They can put runs (hopefully) on Cueto and the below average relievers Giants have. Phils are debuting their 25 year old prospect. His AAA numbers have been lights out.
In his half season of AA last year in 9 starts he went 7-0 .9 whip, 1.87 era and 8.3k/9
Promoted to AAA last year. This year in AAA hes 6-1 .940 whip, 2.44 era and 7.2k/9
I get it, this is against AAA batters...but have you seen the giants hit this year? 7 of their 9 players in their lineup today have a batting average below .260.
Theres sometimes Ill lay bets out there and EVEN if they lose, I feel good about them because they were great shots in my opinion. This is one today. If this does not win, Ill be content as its as good play as any.
Phillies +130
2nd Play Washington A's
Yesterday I was reading Sherwoods daily thread and he had a play on the A's. His reasoning (dispite it losing) was sound. Why was Strausburg, as hot as he's been, be the same odds as an average pitcher while pitching againstt a last place team? I recall a friend of mine that use to work in Reno Casino and he mentioned Saturday is the best day to bet against the public because the amount of traffic Casinos get that day. Today if you are the average MLB fan and you fly out to vegas. If you see one bet on the board that you think, "hey ill throw some money on a game during lunch" Why not take the Nationals and their 34-19 record against the A's and their 23-31 record at -110?? Why not? Especially after the Nats MASHED them yesterday. Well, Mengdon is unknown yet a good prospect. Hes old school. Has a old school slow windup, rocks a mustache. Hes legit. Ive seen him pitch and I think he can be a good pitcher and Ross has been lit up this year. I think this game has fools bet written all over it and I like my odds with A's catching a break
A's -110
My play is Phillies +130 $150 to win $195
A's -110 $165 to win $150
Parlay Phillies +130 and A's -110 $45 to win $150
Good luck yall
