WEBVTT 00:00:00.209 --> 00:00:07.009 Hello, friends. Welcome to day 148 of betting $100 every day for a year. Uh, my 00:00:07.009 --> 00:00:12.250 strategy of just putting, uh, the large chunk of my money from yesterday on a $-200 favorite 00:00:12.250 --> 00:00:16.530 came through for us. The Brewers squeaked by the Astros. I think it was 2-0 was the final 00:00:16.530 --> 00:00:20.888 score. Uh, JJ Spawn didn't come through for us though, so that, uh, does lead us to a record 00:00:20.888 --> 00:00:27.129 of 1-1 for a profit of $35. That brings our year to date record to 256 wins, 00:00:27.179 --> 00:00:33.918 271 losses, 7 pushes for a loss of $86.91. Let's move 00:00:33.969 --> 00:00:39.158 on to today's action. MLB is really all I got to bet on, so let's do 4 different MLB bets. 00:00:39.259 --> 00:00:46.130 We're gonna start. With a $30 bet on Griffin Jack's over 4.5 strikeouts at -136. Uh, he is 00:00:46.130 --> 00:00:50.209 a starting pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays. The Rays will be taking on the Detroit Tigers today 00:00:50.209 --> 00:00:53.899 who have struggled in the strikeout department lately. Over the past 30 days, they have a 00:00:53.899 --> 00:01:00.473 strikeout rate of 24.9%. That is the highest mark in Major League Baseball in that time 00:01:00.473 --> 00:01:05.995 frame. I also got $30 on the Texas Rangers minus $124 against the Saint Louis Cardinals. 00:01:06.114 --> 00:01:09.504 Don't look now, but the Rangers have had one of the hottest offenses in baseball over the 00:01:09.504 --> 00:01:15.394 past two weeks. 5th in WRC plus in that time frame. And now they get to take on Michael 00:01:15.394 --> 00:01:19.314 McGreevy of the Cardinals who I think we're going to see some significant regression from. 00:01:19.870 --> 00:01:26.028 He has a 298 ERA on the season, but that ERA is fraudulent. He has a 412 FIP 00:01:26.028 --> 00:01:30.109 field independent pitching. So I think he's been getting some luck on the mound. Hopefully, 00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:36.769 that luck comes to an end today. I also like $20 on Kybert Ruiz, Ruiz, if I'm pronouncing 00:01:36.769 --> 00:01:43.689 that correctly. Over 1.5 total bases uh plus $154. Uh, he is a, uh, player for the 00:01:43.689 --> 00:01:46.769 Washington Nationals who the Washington Nationals have had one of the better offenses 00:01:46.769 --> 00:01:51.448 in baseball over the past month. And Ruz's bat has been a big reason for that. Second in the 00:01:51.448 --> 00:01:58.209 majors in WRC+ over the past 30 days. He has a WRC plus of 206, 379 batting 00:01:58.209 --> 00:02:04.629 average, 1107 OPS in that time frame. And now he and the Nationals get to take on Sandy 00:02:04.629 --> 00:02:11.219 Alcantara who has struggled this season. He currently has a 466 ERA, a 1327 whip. Uh, so 00:02:11.219 --> 00:02:15.929 I'm hoping, uh, the betting market hasn't exactly adjusted how good Ruiz is. Hopefully, 00:02:15.939 --> 00:02:21.679 that hot streak continues tonight. And then lastly, $20 on Casey Schmidt over 1.5 total 00:02:21.679 --> 00:02:26.800 bases at plus $155. We placed this exact bet last week and Casey Schmidt went ahead and hit 00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:31.830 a ding-dog bing bong home run on his first at-bat to immediately cash that bet for us. And 00:02:31.830 --> 00:02:35.838 the reason why we bet it last week and the reason why we're back on him today is he is 00:02:35.838 --> 00:02:41.455 unbelievable against Left-handed pitchers. His batting average goes from 248 against righties, 00:02:41.764 --> 00:02:48.425 uh, to 411 against lefties. His OPS improves from 798 to 1092 when facing 00:02:48.425 --> 00:02:53.115 left-handed pitchers. Tonight, he and the Giants will take on a lefty starter, Shane 00:02:53.115 --> 00:02:58.594 Doran Drohan of the Brewers who has been used out of their bullpen this season, but it looks 00:02:58.594 --> 00:03:03.274 like he is getting a full start tonight. His first start, uh, I believe, of his career at 00:03:03.274 --> 00:03:07.808 least of the season. Uh, so that could lead to some volatile results, especially against a guy 00:03:07.808 --> 00:03:14.368 who absolutely smashes lefties. So Casey Schmidt over 1.5 total bases at plus 155. Those 00:03:14.368 --> 00:03:17.939 are my four best bets for tonight. Best of luck to all of your bets. Gamble or bless. 00:03:18.008 --> 00:03:19.610 We'll see you back here tomorrow.
