ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS(Greinke) -130 over Colorado Rockies(Anderson)(Lose 7-6)
ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS(Greinke) -1.5(+160) over Colorado Rockies(Anderson)-----Pretty well balanced offense for Arizona right now.(Lose 7-6..........Arizona blows a 6-1 lead.  They led 6-4 in the 9th when usual suspect Fernando Rodney gives up 2H, 2BB and 3ER to lose the game.  Felt pretty good to win...........for a month.   This is April 29th?  Yeah.  Ok.  This is where my season starts to go to Hell.   So what happened ?
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/05/07/isis-chief-in-afghanistan-killed-in-april-raid-army-says.html
(A statement by U.S. Forces, Afghanistan confirmed that Sheikh Abdul Hasib, described as the Emir of ISIS in the Khorasan Province (ISIS-K), was killed in the April 27 raid in southern Nangarhar province, eastern Afghanistan.)
    .........Yeah,  April 27th.   Leave it to fucking America to ruin my life again.   Long Live the honorable Sheikh Abdul Hasib,  an Emir of innocence.......and death to America,  those murderers.  goddamit.   )

PITTSBURGH PIRATES(Nova) +123 over Miami Marlins(Straily)-----Pirates offense woke up yesterday vs Adam Conley.   Doesn't mean they'll necessarily continue in wakefulness but.......Straily had 14 Ks in 7 innings last start and pitched a 5 inning no-hitter before that......and he got rocked once before that.   Nova's a nice pitcher this year:  1 walk in 27 innings.  (Win 4-0)

Friday, April 28, 2017

WASHINGTON WIZARDS +2.5 over Atlanta Hawks-----I don't know why this series has taken so long;  Atlanta is a barely-above .500 team this year and.........I thought the Wizards could have put them away by now.   The Washington Nationals completed their 3rd consecutive double-digit offensive win in Colorado yesterday and its time for the Washington Wizards to start dominating like that.(Win 115-99)

SAN DIEGO PADRES(Perdomo) +152 over San Francisco Giants(Samardzija)-----Both teams have only won about a third of their games this year----these pitchers haven't done good.  Based on this season's activities,  neither team deserves to be favored.  Perdomo has the Pitcher Revenge.(Lose 4-3.........GWHR Christian Arroyo)

NEW YORK METS(DeGrom) +141 over Washington Nationals(Scherzer)----At 16-6,  the Nationals are way out in front on the winning percentage and.......could afford to lose a game.  Technically,  the Nats are an offensive massacre machine right now..........but these are both good pitchers and......could be  a close game.  Mets have sucked,  but they have the Team Revenge against Scherzer and DeGrom has the Pitcher Revenge----even tho he K'd 10 vs Wash previously----because he lost to them.(Win 7-5...........Travis d'Arnaud 2HR,  5 RBI........TJ Rivera 2-4, 3R.........Jeurys Familia looked shaky,  giving up 3 hits but Josh Edgin saved it with 2/3 innings........DeGrom had 12 Ks)

DETROIT TIGERS(Boyd) -125 over Chicago White Sox(Pelfrey)(Lose 7-3)
DETROIT TIGERS(Boyd) -1.5(+170) over Chicago White Sox(Pelfrey)----Boyd has actually had a couple good starts and has the Pitcher Revenge at home today.   Tigers are off 2 home losses which came after their 19 run game........(which showed that their replacement hitters are decent).  Pelfrey has had only 1 start this season.(Lose 7-3...........Boyd pitches 7inn and gives up only 3 ER.........so it wasn't his fault.   2 consecutive Errors charged to Tigers' 3rd baseman Nick Castellanos in the 8th inning----tough hops it looked like but..........White Sox bullpen shut Tigers down)

Wednesday, April 26, 2017

Orioles(Bundy) vs Rays(Cobb) UNDER 8(-102)----------Orioles are 13-6 but they're not hitting and are last in the league in taking walks.   While Cobb has been getting hit,  he really doesn't walk people this year---nor does Bundy.(Lose 5-4..........This game was 3-3 going into the 10th innings,  and of course should have finished 4-3,  getting me the win.  For Tampa,  Alex Colome and Danny Farquhar combined to give up 3 walks and 2 ER........and they walked in the winning run.  But Bundy and Cobb did fine.)

Tuesday, April 25, 2017

WASHINGTON NATIONALS(Ross) -115 over Colorado Rockies(Marquez)-----Ross has had.....1 start this year.   Apparently,  just today,  Ivanka Trump was booed and hissed by a German crowd in Berlin who...........didn't think Trump had done much for women.   And this is German Marquez starting for Colorado.  Uh,  does Germany not know that Trump employed the first female campaign manager?(Win 15-12.......Trea Turner hits for the Cycle getting 7 RBI.  Daniel Murphy got 5 RBI.  Both starters were rocked)

HOUSTON ASTROS(Keuchel) -119 over Cleveland Indians(Tomlin)--------Tomlin's walked only 2 in 12innings but he's gotten rocked in 2 of his 3 starts.  He's at home,  but I'll still take Keuchel,  who hasn't had any problems this season.(Win 4-2...........CG by Keuchel..........Nori Aoki went 3-4)

TORONTO BLUE JAYS(Estrada) +138 over Stl Cardinals(Wacha)-----Wo!  Blue Jays are 5-14.  Bad.  They did lose Edwin Encarnacion;  but can they be this bad?  Let's see,  Russell Martin is hitting .180,  Bautista is at .129.  Estrada has had 2 starts where he didn't allow runs.  Well,  he's a Mexican and.........White Sox won 12-1 yesterday with a Mexican SP.(Win 6-5)

Monday, April 24, 2017

CHICAGO WHITE SOX(Gonzalez) +101 over Kansas City Royals(Vargas)------CWS wore their good uniforms yesterday and won at like +175.  Vargas is doing awesome but KC's offense is not.  With Michael Conforto going 3-4 w/HR,  Mike Leake winning and getting 2RBI as a hitter and the Tigers winning 13-4 with Michael Fulmer starting for them,  I'll take Gonzalez at home.(Win 12-1.........Tim Anderson 3-5.........Leury Garcia 3-4...........Matt Davidson 3-4, HR.........8inn 2-hitter by Gonzalez)

MINNESOTA TWINS(Hughes) +126 over Texas Rangers(Perez)------One could justify a bet against either of these starters..........but a lot of these Rangers just..........aren't hitting.(Win 3-2.........Brian Dozier 2-5 3RBI)

Saturday, April 22, 2017

CINCINNATI REDS(Reed) +164 over Chicago Cubs(Arrieta)----No starts this year for Reed; this is his first.   For Reds,  Suarez and Cozart ARE hitting and..........they're at home at this fine price.(Lose 12-8...........Why do you suck,  Cody Reed?  Walked like 5 people in the first 2 innings???  Ridiculous;  and the Reds HIT!  What a waste.)

ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS(Ray) over La Dodgers(Maeda) parlayed with CLEVELAND INDIANS(Carrasco) -1.5 over Chicago White Sox(Pelfrey) +270------Maeda hasn't really had a good start yet.  Ray has been wild but Az has won all of his starts.   Cws actually has the revenge vs Carrasco but............Pelfrey?  That's what the line's saying,  Pelfrey?(Win 11-5 and 7-0..........Yasmany Tomas 2HR........David Peralta 4-5...........Carrasco 8inn 1 BB and 3hits.......Brantley and Encarnacion hits HRs)

Friday, April 21, 2017

MINNESOTA TWINS(Santiago) +126 over Detroit Tigers(Verlander)-----The conventional view of this game is that Verlander,  though he was horrifically rocked by Cleveland in his last start,  is still good and should rebound strongly.   I say,  So what if he does?  The Tigers aren't doing much hitting for average outside of Avila.  Twins have a few guys hitting; maybe not much better but I'll the Sagittarius Santiago.(Win 6-3............GWHR Eddie Rosario...........Robbie Grossman 2 RBI)

OAKLAND A's(Manaea) over Seattle Mariners(Iwakuma) parlayed with ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS(Walker) over La Dodgers(Wood) parlayed with MIAMI MARLINS(Conley) over San Diego Padres(Cahill) +660------Manaea's been a little wild.......but Chad Pinder is in for A's.(Lose 5-3.........Marlins can't hit Cahill.........and that loses this bet)

PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES(Hellickson) -111 over Atlanta Braves(Colon)-----Colon has had 2 good starts and been rocked once.   I honestly don't see how the guy can get away with throwing eephus balls,  not walking people and yet avoid getting rocked every time.   Hellickson has thrown 17 innings of pure dominance so far.(Win 4-3.........Cesar Hernandez 3-4.........Aaron Altherr 2-4.........Hellickson give only 3 hits and no walks)

INDIANA PACERS +1175 to win series vs Cleveland Cavaliers----this series ain't over.(Lose 4-0...........Biggest 2nd-half choke-collapse in NBA history....
https://sports.yahoo.com/news/james-cavs-come-26-down-beat-pacers-3-020833851--nba.html
(.........leading defending champion Cleveland back from a 25-point halftime deficit to a 119-114 victory over the Pacers on Thursday night.)
  25-point halftime lead blown by Pacers in Indiana.  And my money happened to be on the largest choke-collapse in Super Bowl history---which didn't happen too long ago.  Makes you wonder.........
KOKOMO KILLED RYAN WHITE
  Fuck Indiana.)

Monday, April 17, 2017

INDIANA PACERS +8.5(-105) over Cleveland Cavaliers(Win 117-111)
INDIANA PACERS +370 over Cleveland Cavaliers-------On the FOLLOW..........off the 21,000lb genocide bomb dropped in Nangahar province by the United States of America(Trump).........and its fucking spectacular:  Overnight Facebook-stream star STEVE STEPHENS  !!  OMG.......and he's currently "At Large".   And yes,  the Pacers have Lance Stephenson.   Thus,  there can be only one play:  (His boss was "Jim Jones",  Bwaaa........another of America's notorious victims)  The one and only........BCLI FUGITIVE LOCK Game of The Year!!!!  BCLI GAME OF THE YEAR!!!(Lose 117-111.......Paul George had 32 and they lose.  Can't believe this shit)

MILWAUKEE BREWERS(Anderson) +183 over Chicago Cubs(Lackey)-----Brewers have a couple .300+ hitters this year;  Cubs don't seem to have any yet.  And this Sagittarius Anderson is pitching like he means business----BUSINESS,  so far.(Win 6-3.........Ryan Braun,  Eric Thames and Jett Bandy each go 3-4 w/ HR)

OAKLAND A's(Cotton) -131 over Texas Rangers(Griffin)(Lose 7-0)
OAKLAND A's(Cotton) -1.5(+160) over Texas Rangers(Griffin)-----For the Rangers,  Mazara and Andrus ARE hitting.......but not too many others it seems.   Oakland's the same thing;  only 2 guys hitting.  Cotton is like........a 5'11 RHP.......last start was good.   So why would I.........lay -131?  One of these teams has Stephen Vogt.(Lose 7-0...........A's get 1 hit and 1 BB off Griffin)

ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS(Ray) +148 over La Dodgers(McCarthy)-----Ultimately,  the Dodgers may prove to be a better team than Arizona.  But right now,  there's no real signs that that's the case.  Dodgers offense looks ok(Utley's hitting .050 tho),  but Arizona's still got, like, 5 guys who are still hitting pretty well.(Win 4-2.........AJ Pollack and David Peralta both 4-5,  Jake Lamb HR)

Friday, April 14, 2017

ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS(Greinke) +216 over La Dodgers(Kershaw)------Two good pitchers........think u gotta take a look at this price,  with Arizona doing some hitting early in the season.(Lose 7-1)

SAN DIEGO PADRES(Chacin) +126 over Atlanta Braves(Teheran)------Eww,  0.00 ERA for Teheran in 13 inn!  Well,  I'm going against him because I don't think the Braves deserve to be favored against anyone right now.(Lose 5-2)

NEW YORK YANKEES(Tanaka) -132 over Stl Cardinals(Wacha)-------Stl offense not looking good so far.  Tanaka,  who was pretty good last year,  is walking people this year and batters are hitting .400 off him.  I'm just doing this because Yu Darvish was awesome yesterday with 10K and 7inn and no runs allowed for Texas.   Wacha had his worst year last year but his first start this year was good.  In other words,  if Japan doesn't help us out,  this could be a bad bet.(Win 4-3.........Starlin Castro 2-4, HR.........Austin Romine 2-4, HR........Chase Headley 2-3)

Thursday, April 13, 2017

CINCINNATI REDS(Arroyo) -101 over Milwaukee Brewers(Nelson)----Not sure why the Reds have opened the season so well.   They seem to be hitting well.  Arroyo was rocked by Stl in his first start.(Lose 5-1)

BALTIMORE ORIOLES(Gausman) +106 over Toronto Blue Jays(Liriano)------Blue Jays are questionable as they are not hitting,  at 1-7,  and Liriano lasted 1/3 on an inning in his first start.(Win 2-1.........Orioles get 5 total hits and they win)

Wednesday, April 12, 2017

ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS(Miller) -101 over San Francisco Giants(Cain)-----Miller was once good..........but not last year.  Christian Yelich was 3-4 yesterday while,  on Boston,  Christian Vazquez was 4-4 and Chris Young was 2-4.  So,  in addition to Arizona having started strong(now at 7-2),  they have Owings and Iannetta----2 Chris's.........and Adam Duvall,  with Arizona Diamondbacks' initials,  went 2-3 w/HR for the Reds yesterday.(Lose 6-2..........top of the 6th,  AZ has 2 on and no outs.  Cody Gearrin comes in.   Mathis Ks,  Owings Ks,  then Drury Ks.   What a disgrace.)

Tuesday, April 11, 2017

COLORADO ROCKIES(Senzatela) -174 over San Diego Padres(Win 3-2)
COLORADO ROCKIES(Senzatela) -1.5(+100) over San Diego Padres---GWRBI by Anthony Rizzo last night so here is........Antonio Senzatela who is coming off a good 5-inn start.  A few of the Rockies' hitters are hitting and........a few aren't.(Lose 3-2............GWHR Nolan Arenado........Weaver went 6 3 2 0 5,  a 3-hitter,  at Colorado)

ATLANTA BRAVES(Colon) +124 over Miami Marlins(Straily)------Atlanta is 1-5 so they're certainly due for a win.  Freeman had 2HR last game so its hard to say the Braves are completely offensively feeble.  Braves also have a 'Garcia',  the name that just won the Masters.(Lose 8-4.......Colon is.........Satchel Paige,  between 84 and 88mph,  82 on a slider.  He's thrown a huge amount of MLB innings.   I'm surprised he's still pitching.  Ozuna 2HR and 6 RBI........and this was bad hitting by Atlanta, from what I saw.)

Sunday, April 09, 2017

ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS(Corbin) +176 over Cleveland Indians(Kluber)------We don't know........that Kluber's gonna have as good a year as he did last year.  And, true,  Corbin could be as bad as he's been.  But +176 for a home team that's doing some decent hitting?(Win 3-2.........Chris Owings 3-4, HR)

NEW YORK YANKEES(Sabathia) +103 over Baltimore Orioles(Miley)----Yankees now 1-4........give this team another chance,  but no for much.  Betances lost the game yesterday in the 7th.  Yankees offense not too bad so far.(Win 7-3...........Ronald Torreyes 3-5.........Aaron Judge 2-4 HR.........GWRBI Starlin Castro)

TAMPA BAY RAYS(Odorizzi) +210 [LIVE] over Toronto Blue Jays(Estrada)-----Spotted Toronto 2 runs to get this price.(Win 7-2.........Jesus Sucre 2-4, HR........Kevin Kiermaier 3-4.......Daniel Robertson 2-4)

Saturday, April 08, 2017

MINNESOTA TWINS(Mejia) +109 over Chicago White Sox(Gonzalez)----The Ariel Miranda start for Seattle did get us a win..........uh,  so we'll consider this start by Mejia,  an unproven pitcher,  to be bettable.  Twins 4-0 out of the gates,  although CWS are hitting betting so far due to that blowout of the Tigers.(Lose 6-2...........Mejia went 1.2inn,  2ER, 2BB........Avisail Garcia 3-4, HR for White Sox)

WASHINGTON NATIONALS(Guthrie) +109 over Philadelphia Phillies(Nola)----Guthrie did pretty well in his 18 spring training innings and Nationals' offense has looked healthy.(Lose 17-3.........Now we know.......the name of Phillies' manager is Pete Mackanin..........JESUS CHRIST!   Biggest 1st inning in Phillies history as it was 12-0 after 1st inning.  Guthrie gave up 10ER in 2/3inn.)

NEW YORK YANKEES(Tanaka) -105 over Baltimore Orioles(Gausman)-----Tanaka was rocked by Tampa in his first start and..........we're wondering if the Yankees,  after being the best team in spring training,  are gonna suck this year and have no pitching(they still have Sabathia).  They are 1-3.  They do have Gary Sanchez,  a promising young player.   Orioles' offense not looking very formidable ....yet.  Maybe this could go Over,  but I can't see the possibility of Gausman winning this game.(Lose 5-4.........Yankees were ahead 4-1 in the 5th inning.........Dellin Betances loses it in the 7th inning)
PIETERS to win Masters +800------Fowler is +350(the favorite),  Hoffman is +1600 and both,  like Pieters are -4 now.   Spieth is 4 strokes behind them all and he's +600.(Lose..........Pieters promptly shot 75 on Saturday after I bet this,  but then 68,  finishing only 4 off the lead.  Hoffman,  Spieth and Fowler all collapsed on Sunday.)

Thursday, April 06, 2017

ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS(Ray) -105 over San Francisco Giants-----Descalso seems to be the only new offensive player on Arizona this year.(Win 9-3.........Lamb,  Peralta and Goldschmidt each had a HR)

WHITE SOX(Shields) over Tigers(Boyd) parlayed with MARINERS(Miranda) over Astros(Musgrove) +400------Musgrove was 3-0 in Spring training,  so I guess he's pretty good.  Mariners are 0-3 on the reg season.  Hmm.  Jameson Taillon and James Paxton had very good starts yesterday although both their teams lost.  Lebron James had 36pts yesterday in a Cavaliers' win.  So I think James Shields is bettable today.(Win 11-2 and 4-2...........Geovany Soto 2HR for CWS.........Jarrod Dyson GWRBI for Seattle,  Mitch Hanigan 2-4 HR)
