I had a play last night on the Royals and Tigers game, and to spoil any surprise, it was a loser.I took the Royals at +170 mostly because I felt like the line was way off.
I still cashed the under, but I hope anyone who is serious about sports betting takes a look at that article.Despite it being a loss, I loved the play.
There was a ton of value on the Royals, who lost 4-3.There are times you need to take shots, and this one rewarded me mentally, because I feel like I at least put myself in the right spot to make money.
I'm hoping to actually get the money, physically, in today's Astros and White Sox game.The Houston Astros are still hanging in there, but the question if they are going to buy, sell, or stand pat in the next week has to be considered.For the season, they are four games under .500, but they are just two games back of the American League West division.
That's not exactly the position to be in if you plan to throw in the towel.Their best player, Yordan Alvarez, is having an MVP season, yet another reason to keep pushing and see if they can make the postseason.Houston Astros' Yordan Alvarez, right, hits a three-run home run during the fifth inning of a baseball game against the Oakland Athletics, Tuesday, July 6, 2021, in Houston.
They did trade away one of their starters already, but I don't feel like that was a sign of the team trying to give up.I think it was more about their roster and salary than anything.
Today, they are putting out Spencer Arrighetti on the mound.For the season, Arrighetti is 7-5 with a 4.34 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP.
He has been worse on the road with a 5.52 ERA.He also has allowed eight earned runs in both of his past two road starts.
I'm thinking he might be coming out of whatever issues he had in June, though.In May, he had a 0.93 ERA, and in June he had a 9.00 ERA.
So far, through three starts, he has allowed eight earned runs in four innings, and two earned runs in 11 innings covering two starts.The Chicago White Sox wer...
