Was stung yesterday with my plays, going 0-2 but it’s still been a good week and I’m running short on time so let’s get right to it.

MLB Plays

Washington/St Louis Over 7.5 (-105) $315 to win $300

NYY/Oakland Over 8 (-106) $212 to win $200

Texas/Seattle Over 7.5 (+111) $200 to win $222

All three of these plays have something in common. They are all series finale games that have seen the first two contests stay under the total. I’m going back to the well with Washington/St Louis tonight as I do believe we see a few more runs tonight without Strasburg and a surging Shelby Miller on the mound.

Those two other games in the AL West have some suspect pitchers taking the hill as well (Nuno, Chavez, Martinez) and it’s not like Iwakuma will continue to be lights out the rest of the year. All three of these games fit the bill of trying to flip the total in a series finale should the first few games in a given series finish with the same total result.

For those that are interested, there are a few other games that apply with some of them starting soon. I will not be using these as plays but that’s only because they narrowly missed the cut: Pittsburgh Under, Toronto Over, White Sox Under, San Fran Under.
