Thanks for all of your efforts in his absense. Thanks to my gambling partner, we are only on Detroit at present, having not taken the plunge on Milwaukee and the Cubs.
Both the Giants and the Rangers are -110 on Wednesday's early lines.
"How would you rate the thrill you got from gambling, on a scale of one to 100?"
"Um... hundred."
"And what about the biggest thrill you've ever had outside of gambling?"
"Twenty."
if yo look at the RL you can see who is favored....Ol;ympic shows Texas & SF as dogs...I would just wait a littler to see which way the money moves the line. The beauty of Matchbook

ARE THERE ANY PLAYS
JKAUL's computer was giving him trouble yesterday. I'm assuming the same applies today. Has anyone actually figured out if there are any chases starting today?
Don't play ON a team that is 3-7 or worse over last 10 games
Don't play AGAINST a team that is 7-3 or better over last 10 games
Play on team needs to be at least .400 overall against opponent over the last 3 years or .400 or better at the site of the series for the last 3 years.
I won't disqualify a play if one of these angles is not met, but both makes it a no play.
Also, after a team has played 10 games at home or on the road, the .400 rule comes into effect also. Like above, a team won't be disqualified for failing to hit .400 on one, but if is below .400 on 2 categories becomes a no play.
Finally, if a team is sub .400 in one of the 3 categories I apply one final filter.
Take team's record for the season (road or home)
Add
Team's record vs opponent last 3 years overall
Add
Team's record vs opponent last 3 years at site of series
Add
Reverse of opponent's record for the season (home or road)
Example
Team A is 3-7 on the road this year (.300)
Team A is 12-4 vs Team B over the last 3 years
Team A is 4-4 at Team B over the last 3 years
Team B is 6-5 at home this year
3-7
12-4
4-4
5-6 (reverse)
24-21 (.533)
This percentage needs to be .450 or above.
Texas is 17-12 L3 Years = .586
Texas is 6-8 L3 Years in TB = .428
5-13 on the road
17-12 L3 Years
6-8 at TB L3 years
Tampa is 8-9 at home (9-8 reverse)
==============================
36-42 = .468

Just
Those are the only 2 games I see that fit all the criteria. Not sure if JKaul will be up in running in time to confirm, but for you action junkies out there, I'm 99% sure these are the only 2 and they fit. I'm just not sure on being a dog all series so play at your own risk. GL
