2012 MLB O/U Playoff Record: 1-3, -$119 (Obviously should be 3-1 if not for the ridiculous bad beats)
2011 MLB O/U Playoff Record: 14-11-3, +$5
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2012 MLB O/U Season Record: 361-329-47, -$1,490 (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 Season Record: 366-270-42, +$1,104
Well, certainly not at all the start I envisioned, but what else can I possibly do? I’ve taken four games thus far, and I’ve been 100-percent right on three of them. I mean, that’s what you aim for. You have to be on the right side of a bet, rather than obviously taking your chances with the wrong side of a bet and hoping for some kind of fluke bullshit break, but unfortunately, Vegas has been rewarding those people thus far in the postseason. The money doesn’t even matter to me as much. Dominating these over/unders is about pride and being all over a given pitching matchup,while hoping the other factors remain steady as they should be (Ex. Last night’s disgraceful ending in Reds/Giants… you’re supposed to put yourself in that position in an under when you have two rock-solid bullpens putting the finishing touches on it, especially when it’s 3-1 in the ninth! And losing an under you completely deserved with two strikes and two outs in the bottom of the ninth on a wild pitch? Unreal. And that doesn’t even mention the other run scored in the top of the ninth, also with two outs, on a passed ball!) It’s just so frustrating because I can only be right so many goddamn times that I also have to get matchups “wrong” on occasion, and obviously, I won’t get any sort of break when that happens and that hurts me mentally even more. Losing bad beats, especially over three consecutive days that costs a near-$400 swing when you were 100-percent right on all of them, takes its toll and makes you second-guess yourself at that point in time. It ruins concentration and my sharply proven mindset. It’s especially bad when it happens going into a Sunday, when my mentality is more so focused on football, and as a result, I’ll only be taking one or two games today for a small amount. Have to put these bad beats behind me as soon as possible, hopefully with a win today…
Tom Milone vs Doug Fister OVER 7.5 - $21 for $20
As I’ve said before, I know it is “Tommy Milone” this year but I’m a very sentimental guy, and when he first popped onto the scene last year, he was simply “Tom Milone” with the Nationals, not to mention I was undefeated with his over/unders last year (2-0), so I’ve chosento stick with that. Anyway, this over is more about him than it is Doug Fister, as Milone has struggled on the road all throughout 2012, although he did improve his road pitching in the final month-and-change of the season. He’s also not as good a daytime pitcher (5.12 ERA, 1.52 WHIP in 10 early starts) as he is during the night, and considering this one has a noon start time, which is like a game at 9 in the morning for the Athletics, that gives us a better chance that that version of Tom Milone will be on display today. Fister also isn’t as good during the day, but he’s always been electric at home, which is why I’m not putting any type of big bet on this game. In fact, the rare times I take a Doug Fister over, I always get nervous because as he’s shown several times throughoutthe past couple of years, he can absolutely take over a game and dominate the opposing lineup. As long as the A’s scratch across a couple of runs against him, we’ll be in good shape, as I feel this contest will be more of a lopsided affair with the Tigers’ offense doing damage against Milone.
**May 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**
