2024 MLB in-season thread

I Played the Cubs +145, an angle I've had good success with is fading a pitcher coming off a long layoff due to injury, Yamamoto is making his first start after being out for 3 months, Imanaga is on the mound for Chicago and coming off his best start of the season, pitching 7 no hit innings against the Pirates, not sure who this game is more important to, LA, Chicago, or Japan, but I have to think Imanaga will have a little more adrenaline flowing due to the pitching matchup, the Cubs have been struggling offensively of late, but put up 10 last night, hopefully they can carry that over to tonight's game
I won my bet, and I'll never apologize for a winning play, but my handicap ended up wrong, Yamamoto looked sharp, hard to believe he missed as much time as he did, if he can pitch like that going forward, an obvious plus for LA

On a personal note
The one that bothers me is Skubel who absolutely is having an excellent year
I saw his odds at 60 to 1 favorite this morning for him to win the Cy Young.
What about Emanuel Classe THE BEST CLOSER in BASEBALL who is having perhaps the BEST year EVER
for a closer ( no exaggeration )
with an ERA of below 0.7
Seven closers have won the Cy Young and yet he gets no consideration.

I'm on these

Brewers - 130
Neither team bats have been special but Montas has been throwing harder than earlier in season. Birdsong has major oppo splits and is 4 innings / 85 pitch type guy.

Gavin Williams Over 15.5 outs +128
Got pulled early vs Dodgers last week lost plate was throwng 98 though and is good for 100 pitches. Rays lineup below avg. Might get longer leash also with Clev bullpen little beat up past few days and no upcoming day off.

Wanted to look at Nestor Cortez over innings also but don't see a line out

For those only looking at football and stopped betting MLB in August, you are missing out. The best time of the year to bet MLB. With so many games, YTD standings and stats become very stale. At this point, the linemaker is focusing strictly on pro and college football. Next year, I'm planning on STARTING to bet MLB in mid-July, after the All-Star break.

Yankees at Mariners is a very very interesting series
the twins are falling apart and
how about the Tigers?

Pretty big turnaround for Pete Crow Armstrong.

thru July 31: 196 ABs, .194 BA .311 SP
since Aug 1: 135 ABs, .311 BA .548 SP

If you are looking for hitter props, don't toss him out.

Fastest player in MLB….don’t think he has been thrown out stealing all year…

Ohtani just became the first 50/50 player in history, my brothers are at the game, I was supposed to go but was unable to

Are the stolen bases that impressive now with all the rule changes? Bigger bases, pitch clock, limited throws to first base. All the runners advantage.

Despite the above, doubt Rickey's 13O will ever be broken.

Handicappers
do this all the time
in basketball and hockey all the time
And I know they say
It doesn’t apply in baseball
But what a flat looking spot for the
Minus 260 Dodgers tonight

For the Nats/Cubs game, David Arrieta will be behind the plate. Since the start of 2022, he's only been behind the plate 14 times. 13 of those games went under.

tiebreaker goes to the royals vs twins and tigers

all 3 central teams in this race are 33-3 against the white sox but under .500 when they are not playing the white sox

Now 14 of his 15 games behind the plate have gone under.

Philly a bit of a HR dichotomy? 52-26 at home but only 40-36 on the road. Have to think they could be vulnerable in the playoffs.
