Friday, August 30, 2024

MIAMI MARLINS(Oller) +235 over San Francisco Giants(Snell)----Marlins have gone 3-2 with some high scoring games in their last 5.   Snell had some kind of injury.......got on the Giants with #7..........throws a no-hitter............all of a sudden he 's hot shit..........except last start when he walked 6 in only 3 innings,  allowing no hits.   Both offenses have hit .241 with SF scoring 68 more runs than Marlins.   Marlins are very much aligned with Jesus and Christianity in their names and symbolisms.   They have multiple players named Jesus and Cristian.   Oller's number is 77 so..........we'll go Christian today.   This is an enormous price.(Lose 3-1............Oller goes 6 2 0 2 8...........Baumann and Soriano came in to walk people and lose the game)

WASHINGTON NATIONALS(Irvin) +138 over Chicago Cubs(Imanaga)-----Cubs have won 7 more games than Wash..........and they are on a 7-2 run,  on which they scored 10 or more runs in 4 games.   Nationals are on a 6-4 streak,  having beat the Yankees a couple game at home.   Jake Irvin is not as good as Imanaga,  but he's not bad.   So I'll take him at home.(Lose 7-6)

CHICAGO WHITE SOX(Cannon) +187 over New York Mets(Megill)-----------White Sox are on a 1-11 run.  Why could they win today?   Well,  they are at home.  Mets have gone 2-8 when Megill pitches for them.   Jonathan Cannon's initials are JC.  Right............go figure.(Lose 5-1...........bad day for Christianity)

Thursday, August 29, 2024

ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS(Nelson) -115 over New York Mets(Peterson)----Peterson is 8-1 this year,  moving his lifetime record to above .500.  He has walked about 1 every 2.3 innings.  But this is not Texas,  Washington or Miami.   Arizona has outscored everyone in baseball,  and the Mets by 76 runs.  They are 18-6 in August.  Nelson is not as good as Peterson,  but he is improving.(Lose 3-2)

OAKLAND A's(Ginn) +115 over Cincinnati Reds(Aguiar)---------Both teams are hitting .232.  Ginn is not a starter.  Reds have won 5 more games than A's,  who are the hotter team right now as Reds have gone 11-14 in August.(Lose 10-9............A's outhit Reds 14-8.   Butler hits 3HRs,  Bleday goes 5-5..........but Grant Holman comes in  to walk 2 and allow 3ER while not getting any outs)

Wednesday, August 28, 2024

ATLANTA BRAVES(Sale) -123 over Minnesota Twins(Festa)---------Both teams have won 72 games.  Both pitchers are 6 foot 6 inches.   But I'm not sure how good Festa is; he's never pitched more than 5 innings in a start.  Twins are 74 runs up on the Braves but are on a 2-7 streak,  while Braves have just gone 8-2.   Sale is good,  he's 14-3.(Win 5-1...........Festa does a lot better than I thought he would.  Jorge Soler HR.  Luke Williams 2-4)

OAKLAND A's(Bido) +107 over Cincinnati Reds(Cruz)------Cruz is not a starting pitcher and has no starts.  He has walked more than 1 every 2 innings.  Reds have 61 more runs than Oakland but are on a 3-8 streak.   A's are 12-10 in August and Bido is very good,  with a .189 BA against.(Win 9-6..........Michael Otanez Blows the Save but they come back and win.  Seth Brown 2HR...........Lawrence Butler an HR)

WASHINTON NATIONALS(Herz) +169 over Atlanta Braves(Lopez)--------Atl is 12-10 in August,  Nationals are 9-12.   Braves have scored only 3 more runs than Washington.   So neither team's offense is 'better'.(Win 5-1..........Jacob Barnes get the Win while Jacob Young goes 2-4)

Saturday, August 17, 2024

SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS(Ray) -125 over Atlanta Braves(Holmes)------Holmes has had only 3 starts and Braves are 3-10 in games he has pitched in.  Although Giants have lost their last 3,  they are 7-5 in August.  And they have outscored the Braves by 25 runs this season.   Braves have won 2 more games than Giants.(Lose 13-2..........Ray hits two batters in the 1st inning---which he did not complete----walks the bases loaded----THEN WALKS IN A RUN----then Michael Harris hits the grand slam into the water in San Francisco,  like one of those Barry Bonds 'roid home runs)

CHICAGO WHITE SOX(Cannon) +240 over New York Yankees(Cortes)-------Cortes is questionable;  he's is 5-10 on this team.  In fact,  CWS has the Revenge vs him.   There's no comparison between these teams but Cannon is not a bad pitcher.(Lose 4-1............Brooks Baldwin strikes out w/bases loaded in bottom of the 9th to lose this game)

Monday, August 12, 2024

BRAZIL +200 to win Gold over Usa------------Yes, US is 5-0 coming in.  But Brazil has #9 Adriana,  #20 Angelina and #14 Ludmilla.   Those are all my numbers.......Usa only has 2 of them.   Clearly,  the 61 people killed in the Vinhedo, Brazil plane crash yesterday will be a big advantage to Brazil.(Lose 1-0............was it 62?  I guess it was 62.  )

Friday, August 09, 2024

MIAMI MARLINS(Cabrera) +110 over San Diego Padres(Perez)------Cabrera has been getting better over his last 3 starts.  Marlins do have the home Revenge vs Perez when he played for a different team.  Cabrera still has walked more than 1 every 2 innings.  Padres are on a 14-2 streak and have outscored Marlins by 125 runs.  Marlins have gone 10-10 over their last 20 but are at home here.   Xavier Edwards is one of the hottest hitters in baseball at .375.(Lose 6-2..........Marlins only get 4 Hits.........Cabrera goes 7 4 0 3 4...........Jackson Merrill 3-4 HR)

Wednesday, August 07, 2024

LA ANGELS(Fulmer) +195 over New York Yankees(Warren)-----Yankees are 138 runs ahead of Angels.  But Warren has only had one start.  You can't trust him.  Fulmer is getting better.  Angels are on a 4-3 streak.(Win 8-2...........Zach Neto 3-5 HR...........Mickey Moniak 2-4............Michael Stefanic 3-4)

CINCINATTI REDS(Abbott) -1.5(+125) over Miami Marlins(Bellozo)--------Reds have been rocking this team.  And they've outscored them by 90 runs this year.(Lose 6-4............Abbott rocked)

OAKLAND A's(Spence) +150 over La Dodgers(Flaherty)-------Oakland 9-4 since All Star break.   Flaherty's last 3 starts have been good.......now he's on the Dodgers...............he does have the revenge for the game in April.  Dodgers are on a 2-6 streak.  A's message yesterday:  We're just gonna keep winning,  who cares if its the Dodgers.  So I'll take A's a home here.(Lose 10-0..........wow,  A's suck up for me)

CHICAGO WHITE SOX(Crochet) +192 over Minnesota Twins(Ober)------White Sox trying to avoid losing their 18 straight game.............Crochet is a good pitcher and he has the double Revenge here.(Lose 6-2.............White Sox get 3 total Hits.   Can't bet on teams like that)

Friday, August 02, 2024

STL CARDINALS(Fedde) -115 over Chicago Cubs(Assad)----Assad's BA against has risen from .206 to .241 since May.   Offenses are about equal.  But Fedde,  coming from a team as piss-poor bad as the White Sox,  was actually 7-4 for that team.  That's amazingly good.(Lose 6-3............Fedde gets rocked;  Christian Bethancourt HR)

Thursday, August 01, 2024

LA ANGELS(Fulmer) -117 over Colorado Rockies(Feltner)(Lose 5-4)

LA ANGELS(Fulmer) -1.5(+155) over Colorado Rockies(Feltner)---------I see Fulmer emerging as a starter here.  Rockies offense is better,  but Rockies have an extremely high chance of losing anytime Feltner takes the mound..........if the past is any predictor of the future.(Lose 5-4..........Fulmer does good,  top of 9th 2 outs and Jake Cave hits the tying 2-Run HR off Strickland.  Damn.)
