Coming off a disappointing 1-3 (-11.00) day. I have reviewed today's entire card and have 3 selections for the day. As always, if something chances that warrants a play, I will post it later in the day.

5* Chicago Cubs -1.5 (+115) 5Dimes
5* Arizona -1.5 (-115) 5Dimes
5* San Francisco -1.5 (+120) 5Dimes

Good luck everyone!

I'm waiting to see if Aramis is playing. Their offense is a different animal with him in.

Good luck man

I was wondering when someone was going to ask me that question. Actually, this has always been my style. When I am handicapping, I am looking to make + money plays either through the ML or RL, or at worst, lay relatively small vig. Now in doing this, I keep my risk to reward ratio low. Instead of laying something like -275 on the ML, I'd rather lay -115 on the RL. Now, this year without going back at checking every play, I know that I have probably lost about a dozen games on the RL with games that would have won on the ML but didn't cover the RL. However, on the flip side, I have likely won at least double that many games on the RL by 2 runs at + money laying no vig. If I think a team can win and is the favorite, I will play the RL over the ML as in my particular case it results in a better ROI.

Sounds good to me. Sorry about the losing day yesterday. Some very flat play by St. Louis, Philadelphia and Atlanta.

Was just curious, a close friend of mine has been using the RL's all year & at 100-300 per game he is up 10k. Keep up the nice work!:103631605
