Under 7 Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Cincinnati Reds
1 unit bet wins 2.03
evening parlay to be posted later today....
Keuchel should be pretty decent today...Simon too, now that he has another sub .500 club to beat up on...
finally hit a full 4 teamer yesterday....betting longshots, like these parlays, means experiencing failure repeatedly, frequently. But that's good, if ya can handle it - as we learn from failure more than success...
2014 parlay record: 6-32, +37.03 units.....on various mixed sports....(1 unit bet each parlay)
Posted here was the first winning parlay of the year, and it was my biggest. Not long after that I didn't post for a few months (the unpredictable ends of NBA + NHL seasons, plus start of MLB, is the worst time of year for parlays), then had this small winner (only paid 1.58 as one game ppd and one total pushed) and Sunday, July 6 three-teamer, and July 14 four-teamer, July 25 4-teamer, with a push, that became a 3 teamer...then this 4 teamer July 29th...
May the most you wish for be the least you get!! :00hour :toast: :spotting: :clap: :slomo :0074
cut and paste from the internets:
Brad Johnson:
Righty Kyle Kendrick will face a rather left-handed Mets lineup. Lefties have always hit Kendrick hard. This season, they feature a .380 wOBA compared to a .302 wOBA for righties.

The #Mets are 22-13 in day games this season. Their .629 winning percentage is best in the majors.
The #Mets are 6-4 in rubber games this year (4-1 at home).
'Baseball Road Dogs'
For the most part, baseball bettors are far more likely to bet the favorite rather than the underdog. The oddsmaker knows this and has a tendency to inflate the line presenting value with underdogs. Keep in mind, just because a team is favored does not mean the club will win every time. The baseball season is a long, grueling one and there are days when teams don't give their best efforts, ace pitchers have an off day, relievers implode, hitters slump and/or costly errors are made.
A study of this season's baseball road underdogs shows the group winning only 44.9% of the games but increased betting accounts by +$3102. Since betting each and every road underdog is rather unrealistic we broke it down by line ranges to see which performed the best.
Road Dogs in the lower range (< $1.50) had 'Lot's of Byte' winning 46.7% of the time (362-413) stuffing +$2322 into betting accounts.
Road Dogs with some bite were found in the $1.50 to $1.70 range as they won at 43.3% clip (69-90) cashing +$1925 worth of tickets.
But, Big Dogs higher than $1.70 were 'All-Bark-No-Bite' posting a 23-54 mark depleting accounts by -$1145.
A few betting nuggets found within the 'Lots-of-Bite' sweet spot. Road dogs in the range which loss it's previous road game and playing a division foe were 75-63 (54.3%) the next outing rewarding backers with +$2664 at the betting window.
Road Dogs from the sweet spot which suffered a 2 run or less defeat the previous game were 93-93 next time out (+$1724) split between 38-42 (+$316) playing within the division, 38-42 (+$1408) outside the division which includes 9-12 (-$131) in interleague action.
