Because the next guy is 6 for 33 lifetime against him, or some shit. Or there's a possibility of extra innings and the manager doesn't want to burn another arm yet. Or the pitcher is due up second and you want to PH for him. Or you're a bad manager.
Tampa has some serious Home Field issues Ace. I just did a quick check. 13-20 last 33 Home, 101 Runs for, 140 Runs for Opponent. (no, not a woman - that's how I write it lol)
Gained $143 yesterday to creep ahead to +$164.
STL has hurt me this weekend. I like to bet on this team usually, or UNDER. Unfortunately I had them in an 0-14 Road Spot since 2009 that they've now defeated twice (still in effect today). And of course both games went UNDER. STL is now 44-10 UNDER playing anyone besides PHI,PIT,CUBS.
Even worse? KC!!! This team has won 65 games. 48 of those wins were by 2 or more Runs. I have used them on 4 occasions in this thread at -1.5. They won all 4 by ONE RUN. Had these been ML Bets instead my +$164 would be +$1,300. This Angle (we win by 2+ when we win) works for KC. It just doesn't work for KC and me!

Yea. Some of those one run win and runline losses can hurt. Yest KCy was -1' +207. Went up 7-2 with 4 in the bottom of the fifth. Almost had the circle around the winner only to watch as they returned the favor to the White Sox by giving them 4 in the top of the sixth to make it 7-6 KCy. Of course that's where it stayed. I was with ya on that puker, Scott.
But Kansas City at Home has been very solid but under .500 for covering the runline.
58 Home games
26 runline wins
10 one run wins
18 losses
Still damned good though. And a solid profit if you played all KCy home games to the runline.
After all that I'm on the White sox today. Out of 17 Home series, the Royalskis have only three sweeps. 2-0 here with today to go.
