Friday: 8-4, + 7.2 units
I should have had the Mets for my first 5 unit bet. Actually for a few of my "large" ones, I bet over the set unit amount. Including Dickey vs. the LA Pee Wees.
I like these bets almost equally so if I go 1-1, that's acceptable. I am also torn between taking them at 2 or 3 unit bets. Because I'm up a bit, I'm making them 3 unit plays, but you can drop yours to lower if you're tailing.
Mets again -1. 3 units. Santana is no Dickey, but he's a lefty, who has become very crafty in his post-injured older age. I also have noticed that Santana has these truly outstanding games mixed with so-so ones. With the Dodgers, I'm expecting an outstanding one. With his circle change-up and change of speeds, he should do well. His Ks are at a good rate, and like Dickey, his only recent blight was the damn Yankees- who hit 4 HRs off of him. These Dodgers haven't hit a HR since June 22.
Also, mark this date: June 15. That's the last time the Dodgers beat a good pitcher- Chris Sale. Since then they've only knocked around HUmber(who went right to the DL) and Dan Haren, who looks to be really off his game (maybe to the DL too?). Without Ethier, Kemp and Ellis, they're stuck with Loney, Kennedy and Uribe. These 3 were either team leaders or the "main guys" to depend on.
Eovaldi was pitching well and losing. Now he is pitching less well and having trouble spotting his off speed pitches. His Ks are way down. Or he is traumatized by no run support. Rookies need run support. Anyways, the passive Dodger management is just waiting for their returning players hoping it will all turn out well in the end. The Mets hit Harang as well as anyone since over a month ago when he was in Arizona. Now they face another righty that depends on his fastball too much. Finally, I think it's good to get out of New York and away from the media and fan pressure.
