Happy Labor Day, everyone. This is basically the glaring signal that fall (And football) is upon us, and more importantly, it serves as the point in time where this sentiment becomes painfully official: the baseball regular season is truly in the homestretch. Still can’t believe it. While holidays of all types are fun in real life, I believe they’re the opposite when it comes to sports betting, at least in baseball. Here’s why: One of the great things that draws me into baseball is the fact that it’s every single day, with very few days off sprinkled in-between. Thus, for six monthsin the year, just about every single baseball player - the ones that stay atthe highest level all year - is mired in a very particular routine, leading most games to have steady, consistent variables in a much easier mundane fashion. Well, on holidays, there’s a little bit of a different spin, as players could potentially be having different thoughts on their mind, especially the ones in meaningless contests, such as perhaps thinking about what they’re going to do with their friends/teammates on the holiday night, since everybody has a rare Monday night afternoon game today (Except for thetwo late games). Human Psychology 101. It’s just a day that potentially has no precedent and extra variables to worry about, which, in turn, could serve as another potential reason to cost a win. In any case, let’s examine what we have…
Tyler Chatwood vs Kris Medlen UNDER 7.5 - Price TBD
I’m actually probably going to waituntil right before gametime in terms of how much I’m going to wager on this game because I’m curious about the line movement. I really want to see if this goes up to 8 - which is where it SHOULD be - considering Tyler Chatwood is involved. I mean, I know better. I know Tyler Chatwood is actually a pretty good starting pitcher, as he showed at times last year while pitching a lot in the tough American League West, and I even gave you all a detailed analysis predicting he’d be good in a Rockies uniform right before his very first start in securing that under, despite his notable struggles in the minors this year. Well, he’s been alright up to this point, and as we march through the season’s final month, I think he’ll continue to be pretty good as he seeks to solidify his spot on the 2013 pitching staff. He’s shown he can stick in a Major League rotation for sometime, and I believe he’ll hang in here. It’s probably all we’ re going to need from him, considering he’s about to square off with *the* hottest pitcher in all of baseball right now, that being Kris Medlen. The Atlanta right-hander has been absolutely on fire pretty much this entire season (6-1, 1.71 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, 74:18 K:BB ratio in 95 innings), although those numbers include his work out of the bullpen also. He’s been especially dazzling of late after being put into the starting rotation, owning an incredible scoreless streak spanning 28-plus innings! Thus, it’s hard to see him giving up more than a couple of runs, even against Colorado’s decent bats, making this a bit of an enticing under. Just wish it was 8.
**May Add More Over/Under(s) Throughout Day Leading Up To Gametime**
**Remember that if you have a question concerning an over/under, I will gladly assist you with it if I see it before the game starts, even the ones I don’t bet on, as I have at least a small vibe on every single over/under from studying this stuff several hours every single day and night**
