 Possible "5 ininng cocktails
Here's how it went as of midnight ET, with some games still in progress:
Arizona/San Diego: +3 (2-0 after 5...W)
Boston/Cleveland: +2.5 (4-2 after 5...L)
LAD/Houston: +2 (2-2 after 5..W at 4.5)
TB/NYY Under: +1 (4-1 after 5...P or W if you bought half a run)
Detroit/LA Angeles Under: +1 (3-0 after 5...W)
CWS/Seattle Under: +1 (6-0 after 5...L)
Oakland/Texas: -2 (5-1 after 5...L)
Pinny lets you buy half a run on these and pay extra juice. If you did that...you went 4-3 but it wasn't really worth it. If you didn't I think it was 3-3-1..no harm no foul).
Four of the seven are still in progress as I write this. Boston/Cleveland went Over for the full game. LAD/Houston is 3-3 in extra's right now. TB/NYY went Over because of a meaningless run in the top of the 9th. Oakland/Texas went Over even though it was 5-3 in the 9th. So...in a way we did dodge bullpen disasters...lol.
The grading system did have some integrity. The worst graded choice was a loser. The top three went 2-1. Schilling picked a bad time to have a bad outing.
We'll keep looking at this approach. It could turn out that you have to focus only on the +2 or higher games. At least it's something that makes sense to try. I'll keep you posted...  |
