2012 MLB O/U Record: 124-122-11, -$535
2011 MLB O/U Record: 366-270-42, +$1,104
Of course, I was robbed of one of my two best bets from Wednesday’s slate. Diamond vs Sale under worked without a sweat, as expected, and Romero vs Shields under was on its way before Joel Peralta blew yet another under of mine. Joe Maddon is a much smarter manager and simply needs to realize that this year’s Peralta is not even close to the same as last year’s, and therefore should not be the eighth-inning set-up man.
Anyway, posting this early because I have the only matinee on the schedule…
Justin Verlander vs Justin Masterson UNDER 7 - $23 for $20
Not really going to do a write-up for this one, although I will offer some basic analysis. Everyone obviously knows Justin Verlander and taking an under with him in it is always comfortable. The key will be Justin Masterson, who has dropped off somewhat dramatically from last year. I even said last year that would happen, as he was out-pitching his actual talent in 2011, but given his numbers that he’s posted thus far in 2012, he’s not this bad. I made a comparison equating him to the modern day Rick Helling and I stand by that, meaning Masterson’s numbers will start to comedown a bit. He’s looked encouraging recently and I think that will continue here today.
Obviously, my much longer write-ups will be posted a little later in the day, with an interesting best bet. Let’s just say for now it involves one of the pitchers I know better than anyone in the country, who I’m already 2-0 with in his two starts… ERIC STULTS. Should be promising.
