Well, the weekend was a mixed bag for my bets, both Saturday and Sunday. Here’s what I’ve got today.
–Marlins money line over the Rockies. This is a safety bet. -140 on Fanduel.It’s -110 on MGM.
-Iowa -2.5 over Rutgers, Michigan -2.5 over Nebraska, Oklahoma -6.5 over Auburn, and Notre Dame -25.5 over Purdue. Let’s just roll the dice here. It’s +1217 on Fanduel. I think they’re all coverable.
–Oklahoma money line over Auburn. I really like the Sooners here. The payout sucks though, it’s -275 on FanDuel.
–Clemson -16.5 over Syracuse. I don’t think the Orange are very good. I think Clemson needs a big win. Again, bad payout though, -120 on FanDuel.
–Pitcher strikeouts- Webb 4+, Yamamoto 6+, Greene 6+, Fried 5+. I’m slightly nervous about Fried, but going 4 tanked the bet. This +130 on FanDuel.
–Bills -11.5 over the Dolphins. The only question left is if McDaniel has a job tomorrow. This is -105 on MGM. Josh Allen is going to play for the kill tonight and I’m not sure the Dolphins fight back.
Alright, time for today’s bets. We’ve been doing decent this week. So I’m sure either today or tomorrow I’ll have to take a beating.
West Coast Heat– Hunter Greene 6+ strikeouts, Bryan Woo 6+, Logan Webb 5+, and Dylan Cease 6+. This is not for the faint at heart, as I’m picking four guys pitching later on the schedule to all have pretty good outings. Even so, it’s only +113. You have to live a little to die a little though. This is on FanDuel.
The Early Day Mugging– Alabama -19.5 (over Wisconsin), Michigan -27.5 (over Central Michigan), Oregon -27.5 (over Northwestern), and George -4.5 (over Tennessee). So basically the play here is four covers. At +1293 the payout is good. The other nice thing is if the first three happen in the noon time slot and you’re otherwise getting killed, you probably get a washout. This is on FanDuel.
Shit at the Wall– Lots of pretty good pitchers, lots of K’s. Bubba Chandler 3+ strikeouts, Max Fried 4+, Joe Ryan 5+, Hunter Brown 4+, and Jacob Misiorowski 5+. This is just a collection of rather manageable numbers that all have to hit together. It’s at +116, so it’s not the massive payout of the last one. This is on FanDuel.
Saturday night massacre– This is pretty random. Duke +1.5 @ Tulane, Arizona -17.5 (over Texas State), and Portland State and Hawai’i OVER 54.5. This one comes in at +584, and it’s pretty reasonable. This is on FanDuel.
The Safeties– Individually here, Guardians over the White Sox Moneyline at -168 and Padres over the Rockies Moneyline at -360. I’m not being aggressive enough here. This is on FanDuel. Over on MGM I turned this into a parlay at +103.
Betting with my Heart– Temple +23.5 @ Oklahoma, Pitt -7.5 vs. West Virginia, and Notre Dame moneyline over Texas A&M. A lot of locals here would be happy. This one is at +439. This is on FanDuel.
Touchdown Jesus– Notre Dame Moneyline, coming in at -245. This is on FanDuel.
Warm up the bus– C.J. Carr goes off tonight, Notre Dame -6.5 and the over at 50.5. This one is at +233. This is on FanDuel.
That Dude in the Corner is Weird– Iowa State -21.5 over Arkansas State, Texas and UTEP OVER 51.5, Illinois -27.5 over Western Michigan, and Ohio State -29.5 over Ohio. Just because I can. +1258 on this one. This is on FanDuel.
The Troll– Villanova +48.5 over Penn State. This is -122. Penn State not covering has finally pissed me off. This is on FanDuel.
Just for Kicks– Michigan -27.5 (Over Central Michigan), Alabama Moneyline (Over Wisconsin), Clemson Moneyline (Over Georgia Tech), and Georgia -3.5 over Tennesee. This one pays out at +515. This is on MGM.
So I told you what I was betting last Sunday. I hit on my pitcher’s strikeouts parlay at +173. Unfortunately today isn’t a super strong day for pitching (I’ve still got you). I almost hit on my QB parlay, but Joe Burrow and Kyler Murray kind of sucked. Week one is hard. The Dolphins blew my early bird, and boy did they look worse than I could have imagined. All of my “safety” picks hit except for the Tigers. As for my dogs, the Browns covered and the Giants didn’t. Ok, so here’s today’s bets.
Jesus Luzardo OVER 6.5 strikeouts. Even when Jesus isn’t at his best, he piles up strikeouts. I took him at +100 on MGM.
Safety Special- Padres over the Rockies, money line. Honestly, this is a terrible bet, but I like to have at least one that should be a gimme. MGM had this -250 and FanDuel at -245. Don’t bother if you won’t put a few bucks behind it.
Strikeout Parlay- Mackenzie Gore 4+, Luzardo 6+, Gavin Williams 4+ strikeouts. These were the only three tonight that I felt reasonably decent about. FanDuel had it at +139. I generally like these bets. You take a larger number of pitchers so you can buy them down to a reasonable number of strikeouts.
Daniels and Love– I don’t particularly love anything to bet on this game. I took Love for 200+ passing yards, Daniels for 175+ passing yards, and Daniels to run for 30+. This is +118 on FanDuel. Honestly, looking over this game, I think Vegas has this one pretty well figured out.
I thought about going edgelord and betting on Washington because everyone is wrong to think the Packers are great for beating the Lions last week, but Washington didn’t look incredible in decimating the helpless Giants, and they’re on the road. I really wanted to throw you some college football action here, but I didn’t like anything for Thursday or Friday. So that’s all I’ve got until the weekend.
