Hey guys haven't been around for a while so not sure how it works now

But I' m max bet on Tampa bay rays to beat Boston red soxs today

You can get them over even money and I'm really liking the pitching performance of chris archer in his previous game

Going up against a average o'sullivan

Only reason for the good price is archer hasn't been on great form this year

But he has a stunning 5 innings against a tough Detroit team not allowing a run so should be full of confidence

Hi folks I'm off on holiday now...... Then when I get back I'm back at work because I'm a teacher. I'm not able to keep up with the baseball when I'm working so I feel I lose my edge so sorry but no more tips from me.

Before I hit he road a couple of tips can't really give reasons as I'm just about to leave

Houston to beat Yankees suggest £25 like pitching match up
New York mets to beat Oakland suggest £100 really like his one due to last time max or played mets they did really well against him... Last three games kasmir not been great.... Gees been in decent form against a out of form Oakland line up

Until last week Singhee hadn't been on the forum for nearly two years. It is great that he is back

Since that time though the majority of bets are now placed by me, and personally i find it far easier to have a few lines, a paragraph, or a couple of bullet points of reasoning for a bet

this helps me put the bet on knowing it is based off something logical. After all for the thread it is not my money

It also helps others to know the reasoning so they can question, agree or disagree or point out mistakes if it happens to coincide with an area they have knowledge in

i agree that some posters are auto-bet but its not too easy to pile £100+ onto something with one line, whoever posts it

that said, i wasn't in a position to do yesterday's, but thats the process i think we should follow.

Not everyone wants to do War Ant Peace but putting down some of the reasoning and research is what can set us apart

Thats no problem to be honest i prefer putting up the reasoning...................but the times I dont is when im posting off my phone and i dont have the time

So to clarify i dont have time to put up the reason you would prefer for me not to put the bet up?

[Yeah I'd say that's a good bet. Detroit in poor form. Won last night but they had one of the top 5 pitchers in the game starting so that's no great surprise. Tonight a rookie who has struggled in four starts to date. Their best hitter is struggling with his power recently - his power numbers have been down on his career average all season actually. Just hope the rookie is shit but not too shit as detroit's bullpen - relief pitching - is well rested in recent days and they have an off day tomorrow so they won't be afraid to use them early if necessary. But yeah I'd say go for it.]

Oh and really like the tip btw Singhee.

Mate of mine is pretty clued up on mlb. I have no idea myself.

He won't mind me posting his thoughts i'm sure.

Thanks Dom.

Bit late now, but if we had that info originally, I think Fred would have been on.

Singhee is a baseball ledge, but I think we do need a bit of reasoning, too.

Anyway, good luck all who are on.

Singhee, keep posting please. I don't need any reasoning if you are busy. You are auto max bet for me.

Thank you

7-0 up by the way

Stupid question time, when I went to put this bet on with 365, it gave me a drop down list with 4 options, listed pitchers to start, the name of two pitchers and a fourth option, which one should I have picked? Or was I looking at the wrong thing?

Help with this would also be apprieated by me ^

Also
 Instabet app I've been backing blind this weekend as I've been super busy have the bets all still been good?

Always back both listed pitchers must start as my tips are dependent on those pitchers

Today tip
Atlanta to beat Pittsburgh
2.15 available with betway, 2.14 with bet365, 2.1 with betvictor

I suggest £50

Okay this is tip is based on the starting pitchers

Our pitcher
Santana's health and dependability were questioned as he produced a 5.96 ERA in eight starts from May 16-June 22. But the right-hander has regained a feel for his slider as he's gone 7-1 with a 2.95 ERA in his past nine starts.

There pitcher
Worley will try to recover from his second start (of 10) in which he didn't make it through six innings. Even with that hiccup, has a 1.62 ERA in five second-half starts. Control continues to be his main weapon, with just 11 walks in 68 innings.

Okay Worley has been pitching well but the main reason I'm going against him is batter vs pitcher records over the last 5 years show a few of atlantas hitter have enjoyed playing Worley previously with both gattis and b upton hitting him from home runs

Okay another pick for tonight
Atlanta to beat Oakland

Best price 2.35 with bet365
Best price for tikay I think is 2.3 with bet victor

Now I'm only suggesting 25 for this one as it is going against the market as Oakland are being backed in

Now the reason Oakland is being backed is simple lester the pitcher has been sensational this season..... Sooo why am I going against him..... Checking batter vs pitcher records heyward, doumit, Simmons and Justin upton all have very good batting averages against lester

Reason number 2 Oakland hitting has been lacking since trading off cespedes.... Other than moss the hitting averages over the last 7 games are poor, only negative point is mike
Minor has been poor this year but in his last game he showed improvement down to being more aggressive and managed a quality start.

Seattle to beat Detroit

Even money william hill

Suggest 100

I don't understand the price at all pitching match up favours Seattle big time

Late notice tikays probably asleep now but anybody who is awake:

La dodgers to beat Atlanta don't know which bookies we are with these days but over even money most bookies

Starts in 12:10am so no time to write up my reasons behind it.... But I've gone max on it myself

I've backed Washington to beat San Diego it's a max bet for me

Reason simple Zimmerman the pitcher has been red hot to say the least
Zimmermann notched his seventh win with the strong outing and now owns a 1.69 ERA and a 0.87 WHIP in 2013.
He also was very good against San Diego last year only allowing 1 run In 7 innings

Stults San Diego pitcher is average but is a contact pitcher and struggles against strong hitting line ups like Washington for example both of his games against San Fran a similar standard to Washington he has struggled

Washington have also won both of the last two games in the series so also have the momentum factor

Anyways hope your up to place it lol

Best price 10/13 with bwin and coral
 

MAX BET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Minnesota to beat balitmore
109/100 @ 365
21/20 @ boyle sport

the reason for the price is their pitcher Hammel moved to 5-1 on the  year with the effort and now holds a 4.10 ERA in seven starts. More concerning, however, is his 26 strikeouts to 16 walks in 41 2/3 innings so far this season. Even though Hammel keeps winning games for Baltimore, his modest ratios and strikeout potential

Our pitcher, Sunday marked the first quality start for Pelfrey since he had Tommy John surgery on May 1, 2012. He also showed the best velocity he has all seasrmon, topping out at 95 mph.

Our hitters are in prime form with in the last 7 games the bulk of our top order is in primer form with mauer,  Morneau, plouffe, arcia and doumit all having very good batting averages

Baltimore hitter form over the last 7 is not as good with only j hardy with a excellent batting average and the rest with mid .250 averages

So imo i think bookies are over rating their pitcher and under rating our pitcher.

Cleveland to beat Oakland start in 10 mins sorry for late notice

Oakland pitcher:
Colon has given up his share of hard contact on the season, as he entered Saturday's contest with a 22.9 percent line-drive rate. His masterful control will help keep him out of trouble, but it would be nice to see the 39-year-old keep the ball on the ground more. He's set to face the hard-hitting Indians in Cleveland on May 9. Given Colon's struggles in his past two outings and the fact that the Tribe leads the Majors in slugging percentage,

Cleveland pitcher
Kazmir has rebounded from a dreadful Indians debut by allowing just three runs with 11 strikeouts in his past 11 innings of work. The 29-year-old's velocity was strong on Saturday, as he routinely touched 93 mph on the radar gun. Health remains the biggest issue for Kazmir, but he looked a lot like he did in his prime years with the Rays in Saturday's victory.

On top of that Cleveland won 9 out of its last 10
Oakland lost last three in a row

Suggest 50 with will hill at 11/10

In a rush so can't put a explanation

Cleveland to beat San Diego in the baseball starts in15 mins

Price is 2.05 at many places

Oakland to beat Cleveland in spring training match in the baseball starts at 8.05 our time. Lineups have jus come out Cleveland fielding a weak team except for Santana
Oakland playing there best starting line up
Pitchers Anderson pitching for Oakland has gt poor stats in spring training but this is his last start before the season begins and he has stated he will be treating this like a proper regular season match
Cleveland pitcher is average.
I suggest 50 quid at 11/10 with sky bet
Remember it is equivalent of a friendly match in football so it is at ur own risk, but defo a big edge looking at that price

cool, wont be taking it with youwin then

Ive got 85's with betfair myself a fair chunk less, but still happy

The Royals is either a brave or barmy call, as their salary budget for 2013 is around $68m, and the Tigers in the same division are slated to spend $140m+ and have improved the World Series final team from last year in the off-season too

Still the Oakland A's and Billy Beane got there last season off a low budget so it is possible

Another thing to consider is the MLB play offs are very tough to get into you have to be one of three division winners (Eastern, Central, Western) or one of two wild cards. Verry diffuclt when you are competing in the American League against the Yankees, Tigers, Rangers, Angels etc all of whom spend on the best available talent every off-season

Still 150-1 for a season long sweat. What's not to like?!

Detroit are a very inconsistent team, who overly rely on miguel cabera

Not particularly

They it could be argued overly rely on Justin Verlander, the best pitcher in baseball, but these days have a lot of power bats who came on massively strong in the second half of last year

They are going to be overwhelming favourites to win the kansas division

I do agree that Kansas look much improved. Not difficult though, as they have been run to actively spend the minimum for about two decades.

of the teams winning their division detroit had the worst record last year
