2012 MLB O/U Record: 72-71-4, -$335
2011 MLB O/U Record: 366-270-42, +$1,104
Worst day of the season yesterday and my first losing performance since last Thursday, as there was just some real, real bizarre stuff yesterday. Jeff Suppan makes his first start in two years, after producing a 12+ ERA in Triple A just last week (!!), and somehow completely shuts out one of the best teams in the National League, not to mention a team that was already very familiar with his stuff after playing with them for awhile so recently. With the line at a ridiculous 6.5, I'm pretty sure nobody in the country took the under in that game, as that would just be a stupid, non-sensical bet, but apparently, Vegas knew something enough to sucker everyone on the over. I had the under in the Jered Weaver game because he owns the Twins... he throws a no-hitter and I lose? I couldn't have been anymore right in Clayton Kershaw vs Drew Pomeranz under 8.5, as that game was 2-1 in the 8th, but when it rains it pours, so of course there was a fluke happening to ruin it - ultimately, we still could have won, as all we needed was one more strike in the ninth with two outs against .200-hitting scrub Dee Gordon, but of course he laces a run-scoring double off closer Rafael Betancourt and his previously 0.67 ERA. Of course. But in the world of over/unders, you just move on to the next day and don't dwell on the recent past...
Taking some afternoon games today, but NO write-ups, as these aren't big bets or anything. I will have write-ups for some of my later games (Sanchez vs Vogelsong over 6.5, Kennedy vs Detwiler over 6.5), but for now, here's my early games on the slate...
Joe Blanton vs Randall Delgado UNDER 6.5 - $39 for $35 (Delgado much better than his 6+ ERA, as he was showing last year. He'll figure it out)
Ryan Dempster vs Homer Bailey OVER 8 - $37 for $35 (Both pitchers overachieving right now, due for an off outing, good chance at least one succumbs to that in an extreme hitter's ballpark like Great American)
Kevin Millwood vs Jeff Niemann OVER 8 - $18 for $15 (Small amount, as I know Millwood is better than his current numbers and will start to pick it up at some point. I fear a 3-1 kinda game)
**Will Add More Over/Unders Throughout Day, With Write-Up(s)**
