Season to date profit sits at (+$3,984). Just the 3rd "Signature Total" of the season, lost the first 2. The just missed plays are 4-1 this season though, so all plays combined using that handicapping theory of mine are 4-3.
$500 N.Y. Mets/Arizona over 8.5 I waited as long to bet this as I like. Initial line movement was down from 9, I was hoping to get some slanted juice so I could more cheaply buy it to 8. These 2 pitchers met last week and Colon allowed just 1 earned run in 7 strong innings. He allowed 7 hits and struck out 8 with only 1 walk. Robbie Ray was even better in 7 shutout innings. He allowed just 3 hits struck out 4 and walked none. Robbie Ray has been particularly ineffective at home this season with a 5.40 ERA, and the D'Backs are 8 over and 3 under in his home starts. I expect both pitchers to be hit MUCH harder this time around, especially considering the change in venues from pitcher-friendly Citi to the hitters haven in Arizona.
