Today's Pick: A Strange Play Today

Framber Valdez hasn't pitched well in August.  He's posted a 7.33 ERA over his last four starts.  Chase Dollinger hasn't pitched much better and the Rockies bullpen isn't as good as the Astros but they scored five runs off Houston last night and if they can put five runs on the board again tonight, they have a good shot at a win.  Colorado pays (+250), it isn't a shot in the dark.  I like the long odds and I'm playing .4 units on the Rockies.

Today's Pick:  COL (+250) over HOU

Units in Play:  1.0 units

Units Wagered:  0.40 units

I'm going to also play 0.6 units on the Reds.  Lefty Nick Lodolo gives the Reds a good shot to win.  The Reds are going off at +160. It's Ohtani for the Dodgers.  I'm counting on the Dodgers bullpen to blow this one.  

Today's Pick:  CIN (+160) over LAD

Units in Play:  0.60 units

Units Wagered:  0.60 units

If I win both games, I rack a pair of units.  If I win one of two, it will be a profitable day and I'll see what's shaken' tomorrow.  

It's a deviation from my plan and my strategy but after yesterday's loss I'm scrambling in desperation.  

That's my odd ball pick for today.  Two straight wagers.  I like both.  The price on the Rockies is good.  The Astros have let me down again and I'm jumping ship!
