2012 MLB O/U Record: 334-308-39, -$1,635 (Was making much bigger bets earlier in the year, with countless fluke bad breaks, obviously. I also undoubtedly lead the country in half-run/one-run losses)
2011 MLB O/U Record: 366-270-42, +$1,104
Okay 3-3 day yesterday, which isn't too bad on a Sunday considering most of my focus is on football, so I always fear the worst in baseball with my concentration a bit less. Unfortunately, I had an off Week 2 (Although I do have a very good over/under bet for the MNF game so check out my write-up on that a little later in the football forum), so now it's back to my dear baseball over/unders taking the front seat, and let's see what we have to kick off the week...
Doug Fister vs Jose Quintana UNDER 9 - $36 for $30
Unique scenario we have here, as this is actually a make-up game from last week's washed out finale. However, because of it's important, it had to be made up, hence why both teams are flying into Chicago for this one-game affair, which is such an intriguing variable because baseball clubs are so used to playing 2-4 game series against one another. In the rare instance that teams meet simply for one game (Ex. The opener to the 2012 season between St. Louis and Miami. Lost that over, by the way, between Lohse and Johnson so perhaps I'm not too good with this variable), it might be tough to predict the mindset, but at the end of the day, you have to look at this way: This is a VERY critical game for both teams so you know both pitchers have to attempt to bring their A-game. That isn't too much to ask out of Doug Fister, who is usually excellent, and he's actually coming off his most recent start in which he shut down these same White Sox to two runs and two hits over seven innings. Then there is Jose Quintana, who has been surprisingly good all year long, but has mostly been erratic lately in seeing his ERA go up a full run over the past month. Still, he was terrific against the Tigers his last time out (7+ innings, 7 hits, 1 run, 7 Ks), and considering Detroit's potent offense isn't as good against lefties, there's a good chance he can duplicate that same success, or at least come close to it, which would be more than acceptable with the line at 9. Let's start the day off right in this rare Monday afternoon game.
I'll probably be back later on in the day with one or two more over/unders, but definitely check out my Monday Night Football over/under write-up on Broncos @ Falcons. It'll be a pretty significant bet.
