Rare Parlay to win 3x your money

I dont post often unless I feel strongly about something. Here are two plays im playing straight and parlaying

Giants Phills

Cueto has stated with our local media how he is going to opt out after this year and head to the AL. I dont really know why, but hed rather be in AL and he has been very hittable this year. My guess is with the Giants well below .500 hes not trying as hard and not focused. With MLB pitchers, if they dont have the focus they give up hits. Phills as shitty as their hitting has been, they have young talent. They can put runs (hopefully) on Cueto and the below average relievers Giants have. Phils are debuting their 25 year old prospect. His AAA numbers have been lights out.
In his half season of AA last year in 9 starts he went 7-0 .9 whip, 1.87 era and 8.3k/9
Promoted to AAA last year. This year in AAA hes 6-1 .940 whip, 2.44 era and 7.2k/9

I get it, this is against AAA batters...but have you seen the giants hit this year? 7 of their 9 players in their lineup today have a batting average below .260.
Theres sometimes Ill lay bets out there and EVEN if they lose, I feel good about them because they were great shots in my opinion. This is one today. If this does not win, Ill be content as its as good play as any.

Phillies +130


2nd Play Washington A's
Yesterday I was reading Sherwoods daily thread and he had a play on the A's. His reasoning (dispite it losing) was sound. Why was Strausburg, as hot as he's been, be the same odds as an average pitcher while pitching againstt a last place team? I recall a friend of mine that use to work in Reno Casino and he mentioned Saturday is the best day to bet against the public because the amount of traffic Casinos get that day. Today if you are the average MLB fan and you fly out to vegas. If you see one bet on the board that you think, "hey ill throw some money on a game during lunch" Why not take the Nationals and their 34-19 record against the A's and their 23-31 record at -110?? Why not? Especially after the Nats MASHED them yesterday. Well, Mengdon is unknown yet a good prospect. Hes old school. Has a old school slow windup, rocks a mustache. Hes legit. Ive seen him pitch and I think he can be a good pitcher and Ross has been lit up this year. I think this game has fools bet written all over it and I like my odds with A's catching a break

A's -110

My play is Phillies +130 $150 to win $195
A's -110 $165 to win $150

Parlay Phillies +130 and A's -110 $45 to win $150


Good luck yall

Cueto 'not trying as hard' ... guy is the ultimate competitor. If he's going to opt out you'd think he'd want to look good to other teams. Phils are the worst team in baseball but maybe Lively is the boost they need ... bol.

Who really knows what hes thinking. I can tell you this. His focus is not there. Ive seen him pitch live 3 of his 11 starts and hes missing pitches he normally makes and suprisingly not close with alot of his balls. He has the highest era since 2009. His highest whip since 2008. Hes pacing to give up more than double the amount of HRs than his previous career high. Even if he tanks it this year, he will still EASILY get a substantial raise than what he is getting this year.

I just swept the board, took time to do a write up only to help others on the forum. My writeup was pretty on point and your busting my balls. Yes hes making $23 mill this year, that doesnt change my point that he is opting out and will still make PROBABLY the same amount. A team like the Yankees will pay that , no problem. Youre welcome..

3-0 and won a parlay that won 3x to your money

Don't pay attention to DUMMIES that can never post up their own plays......yet they're willing to go into other's threads to talk hot smelly garbage out of their mouths. Go figure.

Again, awesome calls and keep up your winning ways!

Congratulations on your play. He pitched into the 8th inning and the games was tied 1-1 when he left. Reliever Strickland proved he not only cannot pitch but can't fight this week. You wrote he will easily get a raise. First of all i doubt he opts out as NO team is going to pay him more than 23+ million at age 32. When was the last time the Yankees signed big time free agent starting pitcher ... they've changed their philosophy on that.

Not sure why your nitpicking my write up. Im guessing you took the giants. Bottom line, its facts that he has career high numbers in almost every pitching category era, whip, hrs, walks. Bobby evans (giants gm) went into my old work on an interview saying he doesnt think cueto will stay and will most likely opt out. If i remember corectly it was one of his famoly member was sick or passed and he wants to play closer. I know this team way more than you R.A. Ive worked for comcast Sports Bay Area for over 6 years. So what, he wont get more money, buthe'll still get close to it if not the same. Either way, my points were still valid. Hes not pitching as well this year and my bets were based off that. Sure he pitched well, but hes still having an awful year to his standards. My write up also mentioned Lively has great stuff and giants have horrible batting numbersamd wont hit well in the game. Lively pitched 7 innings and they had 4 hits on him.
