2012 MLB O/U Record: 352-324-47, -$1,571 (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, fine 4-3 performance yesterday on the final Friday night of the season, but ended up just about even, as my best bets split… it’s unfortunate that errors got involved in the Beavan vs Griffin matchup (Passed ball directly leading to a run with two outs; A fluke force attempt error that would have been two outs and possibly no runs scoring in the entire inning), otherwise that under could have held on. At the very least, I added yet another no-hitter/perfect game under to my 2012 resume - my FIFTH one of the season, which just might be a Vegas record, actually, if you think about it. Now here we are, on the FINAL SATURDAY of the year, a day that has treated me surprisingly well in 2012 for the most part, unlike last season when it was, by far, my worst day of the week and only one under .500 (44-47-4). This year, I’m absolutely over .500 on Saturdays, so hopefully this final one exemplifies that considerable improvement…
Andy Pettitte vs Ricky Romero UNDER 9 - $28 for $25
There’s not much to say about AndyPettitte. It’s just marvelous how he’s still doing what he’s doing at this point in his career - which was originally over, remember - yet here he is still dominating opposing line-ups, as evident in his 2.71 ERA. He’s been especially stingy upon his return, having tossed 11 shutout innings in his two starts back. Obviously, that scoreless streak will probably end today, but as long as he gives us an outing that is even just slightly similar to his most recent work, we’ll be in good shape. To me, this under is more so about the progress of the mercurial Ricky Romero, who, as you can tell from my many, many times talking about him in great lengths, is one of my favorite pitchers, and even after his “nightmarish season” (His words, not mine), he still remains as such. Why? No. 1, I’m as loyal as they get (See: Blake Beavan when he had that 6+ ERA early in the season and I always stood by him), and No. 2, I know for a fact that Romero will bounce back from this. He finally has started making progress in the right direction, although not near the level we have grown accustomed to from him, but progress is progress, and as long as it’s making Ricky feel good mentally (Remember what I said earlier in the year about Ricky Romero being one of the most mentally-oriented starting pitchers in baseball. Couldn’t have been anymore right about that; the in-game situations that occur, even outside of his control, often dictate how he does against the ensuing batters), then that can lead to a pattern of effective pitching. Luckily for him, and for us as it pertains to this under, he’s actually had the most success against the Yankees recently, pumping out two quality starts against the club out of his past five (His only two quality starts in that stretch, actually), so hopefully he is able to sustain that momentum and end his season on a positive note. I can tell you, without question, from reading his personal quotes and tracking him closely for these past couple of years, Romero is as prideful as they get in Major League Baseball. We’ll definitely get the effort from him here today at Rogers Centre.
**Will Definitely Add More Over/Under(s) Throughout Day Leading Up To Gametime**
**Remember that if you have a question concerning an over/under, I will gladly assist you with it if I see it before the game starts, even the ones I don't bet on, as I have at least a small vibe on every single over/under from studying this stuff every single day and night**
