Tanko - MLB Plays

I'm trying to provide a little more detailed write up with my thoughts on at least one game each day. Let me know if you think its useful. It just a brain dump from me on the game and how I'm making decisions.

If you just want the picks to see.... I can do that too.

I enjoy reading the write ups personally, but I can imagine most gamblers don’t give a shit. You have one vote here to continue to share your reasonings on why you bet a game.

I understand when you start losing and you offer your analysis it can get annoying and feel like a waste of time. I’ve been there with my own selections and analysis with my pick threads.

Thanks JDS.
Yeah. A lot of people don't care about the info. They just want winna's. I get it. I know there's a few who wonder how I come up with the plays (I get PMs with questions). Just thought I'd share. As you can see on the info I gather, I'm pretty OLD SCHOOL on making plays. Not many system plays in my book (a few but not many).

Also, I use the same analysis whether I'm winning or losing. I just tweak it a little and get a little more conservative on picks when losing.

YTD 58-43-1 57% +1185

Cubs ML +110

Pitching:
Steele (CHC) vs Walker (PHI). Steele has been pitching exeptionally well so far this year except his last outing. He gave up 5 ER in 6 inning but 4 of those were in the 4th when he lost his control. He recovered nicely and finished out the next two innings realatively clean which seems to indicate it was a "one-off" event.

Walker (PHI) is up and down. You're never sure this year if he'll go 1 inning or 6. He's very unpredictable.

Steele: 1.03 WHIP, 3.13 K/BB, 3.26 ERA
Walker: 1.50 WHIP, 2.05 K/BB, 9.45 ERA

Cubs appear to have the edge on pitching

Batting:
Philly doesn't bat well against lefty's. 0.237 vs left and 0.271 vs right.
Cubs are batting slightly better than the Phillies over the last week and for the year. Last 7 days:
Cubs: 111 WRC+, 0.334 wOBA, 0.245 AVG
Phillies: 86 WRC+, 0.301 wOBA, 0.235 AVG

Slight edge Cubs.

Relief Pitching:
Pretty even in this category with Cubs having a small edge.
Cubs: 1.28 WHIP, 4.29 ERA
Phillies: 1.40 WHIP, 4.41 ERA

Misc:
Warning... Cubs have been on a skid of late 3-7 in last 10 but Philllies aren't much better at 5-5 and 1-5 in last 6. I hate playing on teams that are not trending up but I think with both teams records lately, the cubs are the better choice of two mediocre teams. Also, Steele is the #1 pitcher on Cubs so far while Walker is #6 on the Phillies. If Cubs are going to get a win, it is more likely to be with Steele on the mound.

GL Everyone

Steele pitched excellent. Then a reliever comes in for the Cubs and gives up 2 run HR.

That combined with piss-poor base running by the cubs (2 guys picked off at first - SMH) resulted in this being a losing proposition.

I will say Walker (PHI) pitched well but he should have had at least 2 runs scored on him if not for the Cubs base-running.

What?

I'll always post them. It just might be time to fade.

I'm not stopping making MLB plays. Hell that's all there is to do for 3 months until football starts.
You know, this stuff ebbs and flows. I'm just warning everyone you might make more $ fading me for a while.
