  "There is no chance in my opinion KC loses this game." Something to consider: Overconfidence is a killer in both sports and sports betting.

 Something to watch about betting teasers is to stay away from teasing big favs on the road. Home teams seem to fare better in teasers.

 Vandy ML +130 first half for me. They have the edge at QB, not matter who starts for Texas. Was also impressed with how good the Vandy D looked last week vs. Mizz.

BOL,

RT2

 Gamble, gamble...hope you cash!!!

You're betting on a team that is playing some bad, bad baseball. I've never seen the Dodgers play bad like that at every position--catcher, 2nd base, even Mookie at shortstop looked out of sync, Freddie at 1st too. Looks like the 11 day layoff has been horrible for LA.

Dodgers are gonna need some Hollywood magic to reverse how they're playing ball. They looked like losers last night.

 Good luck, Mac...a little birdie told me to bet Toronto +170 1st 5...gamble, gamble, and GO JAYS!!

All 3 of the home dogs you faded are rivalry games. I wouldn't put a nickel on any of those favs. Kentucky would rather beat the Vols than anybody...ditto Mich State vs. Mich...big rivalry. And SC will play Bama like it's their super bowl.

Ucla is improved and will show up against Indiana and play hard. Laying almost 4 TDs seems too much.

And Texas Tech could lay down 2nd half vs Okey State...they have Kansas State next week, a team that beat them last year.

I think your odds of losing all 5 are much better than of winning all 5. Just my honest .02.

Good luck with it,

 Agree, and yes, no fluke...the LA money is in trouble big time. We'll find out tonight how much in trouble.

Lukes and Barger will hit from the left side tonight...better hitters=more offense.

Other notes:

--Toronto seems to have inside info on how to pitch Teoscar...makes sense that they would know his weaknesses.

--Freeman isn't hitting; he seems off balance at the plate. LA won't win without his bat. Edman too seemed out of sync, and Pages was lost at the dish.

--13 K's last night...that's a lot of whifs for the supposed best offense in the NL...the ugly layoff factor is for real.

...nobody on the planet could have predicted that score. Nobody.

Did Toronto just make a statement? Or was the Game One win a fluke. We'll find out tomorrow night.

If the Jays hitters can make Yamamoto work like they made Snell work tonight, they're odds on to win again. They just wore down and beat one of the best pitchers in baseball. They can beat Yamamoto too if they can wear him the same way to get into the LA pen. Big "ifs" though. We'll see.

Sure was impressed with the way the Jays stayed focused...don't recall watching an entire team being that zoned in...they're gonna have to keep that up too...RT2

Watch Snell get rocked. Baseball is strange enough for it to happen, and the Jays have the RH bats to do so.

...will be the key to the Jays winning the Series. If the Jays can get out of him what they got his last outing vs. the M's, they can beat LA. Toronto has the offense to win, and their bottom of the order has particularly been productive.

Scherzer will need to start game 1 or 2 at home to be ready for 6 or 7. Gonna be interesting to see how the Jays manage it. At the end of his career, I imagine he wants a WS ring pretty badly. It's his last chance to get one.

Interesting drama factor: Springer vs. the Dodgers, again...he hit the clutch game 7 HR in the 2017 'signal stealing' series. He'll get a warm welcome when he gets to Dodger stadium.

RT2

Purely from an old gambler's perspective, Bears +7 looks like the sucker play of the week.

Just my .02...good luck if you bet it,

RT2

Ole Miss is the sleeper. Team had a 'come to Jesus' meeting after the poor showing vs. Wash State. They have the offensive talent to beat the Dawgs. Of the three, that is the only game to be concerned about.

Yesavage has pitched 20 innings in his career. He was in single A to start the season. Gilbert has pitched over 800 innings in his career. Jays have no edge today on the mound; nor do they have a BP edge. They also lack their all-star SS.

Not to keen on laying 1 1/2 runs this afternoon. Good luck with that.

RT2

LA with an all-star line-up peaking at the perfect time...Milky with a bunch of scrappy no-names and a decent bullpen edge. One paper, Dodgers should have a cake walk. We'll find how easy it's gonna be after tonight. One statistical point of note...Milky hit .268 vs LHP in the regular season, best in MLB. Of course Snell ain't the average southpaw. He can deal, and he's rested, having come off the IL mid-season. Milky will load the right side and tell 'em to make Snell work for every out to try and get to the LA pen by the 6th.

Murphy and Co. know winning game one is absolutely critical to his team if they are to have a chance in the series. Murphy knows game one is almost a must-win situation and he will make every move he can to win it. Gonna be interesting to see how it plays out.

Dodgers look unbeatable...that's the reason the books have over priced them at over 2-1 to win the series.  I can guarantee you one thing: every book in the world will be pulling for the Brewers.

RT2

I noticed Gilbert's day splits:

1.56 ERA

1.77 OPS

0.64 WHIP

over 40 IPs. That's some strong numbers.

Lindor's DP to end the game was the cherry on top a shit sundae for the Mets. Proves the old saying that you can have the greatest line-up in the league, but if you ain't got the pitching, you ain't gonna make in October.

@wgomel21

 StarkVegas is what folks in the 'Sip call it. It's a gambling little town.

He's been money 1st five all season since he came off the IL, a hidden gem...i don't recall a pitcher that has been that consistent at getting the money, and usually at a good price too...truly amazing.

Giants probably couldn't hit a slow pitch softball right now...offense is pitiful.
