2012 MLB O/U Record: 105-102-8, -$329
2011 MLB O/U Record: 366-270-42, +$1,104
Just a very demoralizing 1-5 day yesterday that was my second worst of the season, which of course featured some bad breaks as well (Leake vs Santana under was 3-2 in the eighth inning; yet another bullpen breakdown). I apologize, as aperformance like that in general is just inexcusable, especially from me. Concerning that Hernandez vs Jimenez under, that’s what King Felix gives us after owning the Indians his whole career? I guess that’s why I was 3-7-1 on his over/unders last year. Unfortunately, I was really rattled by Wednesday (Which, as I warn you guys every week, is my worst day of the week. Need to show more discipline) and it affected my mindset for Thursday so I don’t think there will be any big bets today, as I just look for some small wins to reclaim my confidence for the weekend.
(Posting this early because I have one of the early games. I’ll add my more-detailed write-ups later)
PJ Walters vs Doug Fister UNDER 8.5 - $28 for $25
Just a bit of a smaller bet to get my feet wet on this Thursday. Thus far in his return from the disabled list, Doug Fister has been on absolute cruise control, yielding only one run over 13 innings in two starts, albeit against the Mariners and Athletics. Still, though, it’s as if he picked up his effectiveness right where he last left off, and clearing that hurdle right away puts him an excellent frame of mind. Therefore, he should be in his usual top form going up against one of the weaker offenses in the American League. The big concern here will be the arm of PJ Walters, who seemingly arose from the dead to re-appear in the Minnesota rotation, and actually looked pretty good his first time out against the tough Toronto Blue Jays. I like the angle he’s coming from, being a guy who fizzled out of the Majors with the Cardinals, and is getting a second chance to succeed. If he gives us a decent effort, which I believe he can, to go along with a gem from Fister, we should nail this under.
I’llb e back a bit later with my other over/unders on today’s card, with longer write-ups.
