Laying Chalk and Runs With Heavy Favs

[JohnnyFairPlay]

Another win tonight with San Diego!

Record since April 24: 31-6 (8 of 31 wins by one run)





I was cautious tonight and cost myself a few dollars.


One play tomorrow:



New York Yankees -1 -180 (This may very well go down by tomorrow afternoon. I would wait to place the bet. I will update the final odds tomorrow afternoon. Good Luck!

NYY -1 1/2 -138


Going with -1 1/2 since the line is rather high (-180). I still have to bet it based on the past records. Bet with caution.

Good Luck!

Someone on BettorsChat tought me how to bet -1 lines without using Pinnicle. Thanks whoever that was. Here's how you do it. Example for today. You make two wagers.

Dodgers (-170) So $170 to win $100
Dodgers -1.5 (+120) You bet $100 to win $120
So essentially you are betting $270 to win $220, which is around (-120), if the Dodgers win by 1 run, you win one bet for $100 and lost the other bet for $100, so a push.

NYM -1 1/2 -108



NYY -1 1/2 -145



Minny -1 1/2 -120

GL on those plays!

Johnson did the same to us when they played Nomo and the Devil Rays. No run support either game. Loss my weeks up on that play. Will never play it in the near future. The under is a smart play, however. Doesn't give up that many runs and Yanks can't score when he pitches. On the strategy of playing RL and ML, that is how I am playing it as well.

Johnson pitched a complete game. He gave up 3 runs. He made one bad pitch in the first inning. The Yanks lost because they didnt score any runs.

Actually if you go back to the 1st batter of the game, when lazy ass Sheffield just jogged to that pop fly, instead of being a 2 run HR later in the 1st inning, it would've been a 1-1 game in the 9th.

actually i think i can be blamed for NYY sucking this year. I have their ACE closer Mo Rivera on my fantasy team. And doc can atest when it comes to fantasy sports i am moosh.

[frankb03]

It's laughable when people are bitching about a pitcher that pitched a complete game and only gave up 3 runs.

[JohnnyFairPlay]

Well.....he pitched a complete game, but honestly, he hasn't really lived up to the hype and the salary he got before the season started. Nevertheless....Again, it looks like the half run could kill us in the Minny game. That is if they don't lose straight up. So, in recognition of that, I'm gonna lay the extra chalk on the night games and take the Yanks -1 -203 and the Mets -1 -177. I can't believe that the Yankees can lose another one to the hapless Royals. Maybe it's their new manager. Hope he sucks tonight!
