Best Bet (NAP) of the day: Community Tipping

[HerbPuffer]

Just seen this thread even though I've been to the tips/predictions one. Probably wouldn't have had anything for you anyway but now is this kid's time to shine. MLB throws out the first pitch today.

I haven't gotten into the odds converter yet as I'm about to run out to watch the first two games tonight. Since that's the way you prefer I'll try converting for you after this.

Yankees(-175) n Dodgers(-300) are two solid picks but the price on the Dodgers is a little steep.

My solid is the Yankees/Nationals u7.5 at even money. Two solid starters in Gerritt Cole and Max Scherzer should keep both these offenses at bay. I look for them both to have 8+ strikeouts w/a lot of groundball outs over 6+ innings each. 3-2 or 4-2 Yankees.

 

[HerbPuffer]

I liked the u7.5 at +165 in the SF/LAD game but w/Kershaw scratched and Dustin May to start in his place I figured that's at least a run or two difference and the oddsmakers agree Total went from 7.5 to 9.5 and even money on the over.

New bet will be SF/LAD o9.5 even money.

Should also make a note that all my baseball plays are action/action. For those of you that don't play a lot of baseball, that means that both listed pitchers must start or the bet is void.

action/action

My apologies, the one site I play on had me confused for a minute last night because of the was they list it. My picks are always "starters listed".

I apologize for confusing yinz because I was confused.lol.

Anyway, NYY/WAS got called because of rain so no bets there and SF/LAD came up a run short.

4:10 EST Atlanta Braves at New York Mets. Jake deGrom(NYM) shuts Atl's line-up down NYM -162

8:15 EST Pittsburgh Pirates at St. Louis Cardinals. Joe Musgrove(PIT) looked real good in his preseason start. Pittsburgh +165(guess it's a bit of a "homer" bet as well but I do like this pitching matchup so take that as you will.lol)

9:10 EST Seattle Mariners at Houston Astros. Justin Verlander(HOU) continues his domination on the mound and shuts out the Seattle lineup thru 6 or 7. Houston -300 is steep for me but I still like HOU -1.5 -138 and also HOU u8.5 +110. Just hope the Astros aren't still stealing signs and light up the SEA bullpen.

Let's see what 2 nordic teams can (or cant) do today and tomorrow ...

HJK vs Ilves: HJK -1 AH @2.09
AIK vs Djurgarden: AIK -1 AH @6.25

Clearly both teams have been underperfoming recently since they both aren't as good as some years ago and if i'm not mistaken then neither of them isn't playing in european competions either next month so ...

Wind blowing out at Wrigley Field this afternoon. Play the o9.5(-105).

2-2 for a break even day. NYM and HOU were good.

Verlander was solid for the Astros but did give 2 runs and the HOU offense exploded in the SEA bullpen to push the total over. And my Pirates looked ok, just couldn't get the bats going until later and came up a run shy, losing 5-4.

Was good here.

Monday, 7, July

3:40 EST
An early one out in Oakland, 12:40 local time, Los Angeles Angels at Oakland Athletics. Mike Trout finally getting his bat going. I like the dog visitors. LAA (2.0)

6:40 EST
Chicago Cubs at Cincinnati Reds
I like the John Lester n the visiting Cubs. CHC (1.87) and also think you'll be safe w/the run line CHC -1.5 (2.3).

7:05 EST
Milwaukee Brewers at Pittsburgh Pirates. Another homer bet maybe but I like my Battlin' Buccos in their home opener. Steven Brault loomed ok in his exhibition game, the Pirates goot their bats working, and the bullpen didn't let St. Louis bacck in the game last night. Like I said, a bit of a homer bet again but I like Pittsburgh at 2.5. If you wanna go the safe route, then take the run line at PIT +1.5 at 1.95.

Apologies for inactivity, was kinda limited in time lately.
Thanks Herb for your input. This is exactly the content I was expecting to have in the thread. Picks with solid leans and brief reasoning and I like the fact that we can mix up our usual football picks with baseball.

Unders won, as well as both Yankees and Dodger won their games :rock:
Profit for the bet would be +1 U

One more thing to mention, I probably won't be posting any personal picks here anymore (my results didn't prove themselves any good due to unlucky streak, variance or bad selection, idk) and only be tracking the picks posted here.
I will still post all the monthly stats after the end of July.

No problem, Taurus. I'm glad I can help out a little. In this world every piece of a unit counts.

Quick update of today's action so far.

LAA: L
CHC: up 6-0 in the bottom of 5
PIT : up 1-0 in the bottom of 5

 

[ulgromkii]

Italy. Inter - Napoli. Both teams will score goals. odds 1.8

Tracking picks posted here might not be that great idea though specially as here are couple more threads where you my see great picks which are usually posted in particular thread ...

unibet is granting me tomorrow (i hope) with five 10€ freebets so i hope with them i have same amount of luck which i had today with one israeli LIVE bet where i used 5€ freebet on over 2.5 goals @3.30 when score was 1:0 and luckily there was 2 extra goals in 6 added minutes lol

CHC blew the 8-3 lead but won 8-7 for the ML to come through, lost out if you decided to take the run line, though.

PIT also blew a 5-1 run lead in the 9th(MTHRFKRS) and lost 6-5 so ML no good but you cashed if you took the run line.

Be back in a few for a cpl games on this evening's schedule.

 

[HerbPuffer]

I like the Chicago Cubs again tonight at 2.15

Also the Pittsburgh Pirates against a rookie pitch making his first big league start at 2.63, also going to back that up w/ PIT +1.5 at 2.05

Also Homer Bailey and the Minnesota Twins at home vs the St. Louis Cardinals at 1.67.

See how these ones start out and may be back w/a cpl others.

3-3 even though my BUCCOS gave me another scare by blowing a 2-run lead then going down 6-2. First time in 274 games they were down by 4 in the 7th inning or later n came back to win.

Upset I didn't get here to post but I really liked the LA Dodgers vs the Houston Astros. They've wanted a piece of them since the 2017 World Series n especially since ot came out they were stealing signs and relaying the pitch to the hitter by banging on trash cans.lol. I almost forgot about it myself n had to get it in as a live line w/LAD down a run in the first or second. Helped me get a better price, though.lol. I think they were even money pre-game n I ended up getting them at +110. Should've seen the looks I got my girl for putting in games n watching the gamecast on espn.com while at the drive-in.lol.

Gonna check now for later. GL on your plays, all.

 

[HerbPuffer]

And I'm back.
4:05 Arizona Diamondbacks @ Texas Rangers.
I look for Madison Bumgarner to come back strong after his first outing of 5 scoreless before getting lit up for 3 runs on 3 hits and a walk. One being a 3-run double w/2 outs in the 6th.
Arizona on the ML @ 2.1

6:05 Washington Nationals @ Toronto BlueJays @ wherever they're playing.
Taking Max Scherzer n the Nats in this one. Nor even sure if the Jays have figured out where they're home games are being played yet.lol.
WASH on the ML @ 1.6. Hell w/it, gimme the run line at 2.0 as well.

7:05 Milwaukee Brewers @ Pittsburgh Pirates.
Don't think I'm hoping to trust either bullpen. Big Joe Musgrove going for my BUCCOS and he's still looking solid. Pittsburgh bay's dull not working early either so I'm looking at a First 5 Innings play here.
PIT First 5 u4.5 @ 1.83

7:10 Boston RedSox @ New York Mets
Two solid starters going at in in Nate Eovaldi and Jacob deGrom, looking for runs to come at a premium.
NYM u 7.5 @2.1.

Magu be back w/something else depending on how the two early starts are looking.

 

[ulgromkii]

Hello everyone. It’s not possible to predict the last time. Roma’s victory will try the last time today. odds 1.65

NYM--------L 2-0 then 2-2 up until the 7th or 8th when they both decided to find their bats.

Little early for me. I'll be back after I wake up n eat.
