MLB 2024

[RBD]

Yes. I'm in the baseball forum.
First time.
Probably last time.
Why?
I'm rewarding myself.
For what?
1) Playing with discipline throughout the year
2) I have a profit to use
3) I'm an Oriole fan (not because of Boog's BBQ, but that certainly helps as anyone who's ever eaten there knows.)

Treating myself to some bets as a fan, NOT a lot ("not" as in very little) 'capping put into these, but here they are anyway:

O's -168 (series; Bovada)
O's -148 (game)*
KC/Bal Ov 6' -118
Rutschman Ov .5 total bases -156 (Bovada, you HAVE to HAVE Bovada if ya like playing props!)

* Hm pg listed $ at -143, wrote/edited the article, submitted it, went to buy the pick and got -148 so that's what I'll use.

From above:
"First time (betting/watching MLB.) Probably last time."

Remove the word "probably" from that sentence.

This is why I don't watch baseball.
B-o-r-i-n-g.
Even with money on the game it's b-o-r-i-n-g.
Boring and painful when your team is not scoring.

Ragans is 0-2 vs the O's this season, today they can't manage to score a single run (bottom eighth as I write this but I give up on them, I can't watch anymore.)

A lead-off double and they only can get him as far as third base.

Rutschman is 4 for 8 vs Ragans this season, .500.
He'll get four at bats today, I liked my chances of getting at least one hit. As I write this he's 0-3.
And I'm not sticking around to watch him take his 0'fer.

Dug myself a nice hole to start out October.
And I deserve it.
