2012 MLB O/U Record: 267-256-28, -$1,553 (Been making bigger bets this year, with countless fluke bad breaks, obviously. I also undoubtedly lead the country in half-run/one-run losses)
2011 MLB O/U Record: 366-270-42, +$1,104
Okay, 2-1 yesterday, including my fifth straight best bet victory, pushing my current run to a very satisfying 13-6-1 mark. Considering it's getting late, and that this is my only game tonight, let's just move on to it and hope my current domination continues...
Washington Nationals @ Houston Astros - $60 for $50
Jordan Zimmermann vs Lucas Harrell
UNDER 7.5
If you are going to tail me tonight, have comfort in knowing you'll be tailing me with one of my best possible pitchers, that being the vastly underrated Lucas Harrell. I know it seems like I do this every five days, but it's hard ignore my obsession with the Astros' right-hander. As regular readers know, Harrell was actually one of my top three sleepers coming into the season (Along with James McDonald and Blake Beavan... pretty good bold predictions on my part), and he has completely come through for me in amassing a 9-7 record with a 3.98 ERA and 1.35 WHIP (Not to mention he's one of my top five favorite pitchers in all of baseball). He's been much, much better at home in Minute Maid Park, going 6-1 with a 2.02 ERA and 1.21 WHIP so we're catching him in his best setting (He's also been significantly better in night games as opposed to during the day), while he's been in a real groove that has seen him legitimate establish himself.
Meanwhile, ther eis Jordan Zimmermann set to oppose him on this Thursday evening, along with his 8-6 record, golden 2.45 ERA, and very nifty 1.05 WHIP. I mean, with those numbers, it's easy to see Zimmermann has been highly effective this year, and if you've actually been following him throughout the season, you would know he has been remarkably consistent, really going through no bad stretches at any point this year. With those numbers, and his effectiveness, it's hard to see the Astros' dead-bat lineup (Which now will be without Jordan Schafer) get to him for any sort of significant offense. Thus, Zimmermann should keep his roll going as he matches up with the worst team in baseball, seeking out a four-game sweep for the first-place Nationals. The under looks solid.
