I skipped over to Boston's side just for the record.

Vic is in the line-up

Martinez has small value over replacement of Lowell. Not enough to offset Bay and Lowrie absence from the lineup. Downgraded the Red Sox to within one cent of the current no-vig market price.

Marlins, Mets, White Sox and totals are my plays for today

 

[HanDiCaPThiS]

I think it's a really close game buffet, taking Boston for the point value basically, we'll see how it works out

I take it the Braves turned you off last night?

Best of luck. Out of curiosity has this game piqued your curiosity because of the quality of teams and pitchers or because of the perceived value that lies with Boston?

Line has been diving all day, would like to get it at 140.

I think the match-ups with the way Boston is swinging now compared to a week ago + Lester being less than stellar on the road, but able to put together a winning performance + Garza not being that great if things don't go perfect + Tampa swinging the bats decent = a pretty close game from both sides, and I'd rather have 30pts more then 30pts less... This is a big 2 game set for both teams considering Boston has the yankees next, they need to be close in the division race for the upcoming series to help push them forward.

This bum J.D. Martin just got bailed out with a slider hit hard line drive and force out at 3rd.

 

[TheHungerForMore]

First time i seen Martin's throw two good curve balls in one game.

Atalnta is a play now. Thanks Buffet for making my decision on the Mets easy.

I just upgraded them as well. Currently a large play.

 

[TheHungerForMore]

Sorry for being a #@$%$%$ing idiot.

J.D. Martin has array of different pitches but just doesn't have the stuff to last in the majors. His favor pitch the slider has been getting hit hard especially by left handed hitters, curve ball he likes to use this as put away pitch has a slow drop to it so hitters have a chance to pull it or slap it foul. This is not a good match-up for him against a hot Marlins line up.

Josh Johnson is a stud, he has been dominated this season and not being price as he should in a huge pitching miss-match. Florida holds the better bullpen as well, Leo Nunez should have no trouble with the dimensions of this ball park for the save if needed.

Share your thoughts on today's card.

And that's how you go from looking completely sharp for through out the game to an idiot.

I am sure you already know this, but there is simply way too much randomness that takes place in a particular game to have that as the premise on whether you were on the right side. A better indicator would be to compare your price to the no-vig close and your historical ROI. I doubt Pinto or FRod's outlier performances are a better indicator of your handicapping ability.

Yes.

I am sorry for being bad luck. I won't say anything like that until the game is official over.
