El derecho cumanés tuvon un extraordinario Spring Trainning. Dejó efectividad de 0.90 en 10 episodios de labor en la Liga de la Toronja. JESÚS DAVID CASTELLANO Los Mets de Nueva York anunciaron este miércoles que el lanzador derecho venezolano, José Buttó, fue bajado a AAA Syracuse e iniciará la temporada en dicha sucursal. Eso, tras lo que fue un gran desempeño en la Liga de la Toronja. Cabe destacar que, en cuatro presentaciones; incluyendo dos aperturas, el cumanés dejó una brillante efectividad de 0.90 en 10 episodios de labor. Además, se apuntó una victoria, un hold, ponchó a nueve contrarios y su WHIP fue de 1.10. Igualmente, limitó a los bateadores a promedio de .237 y OPS de .538. Eso, al tiempo que dejó tasa de guillotinados por cada pasaporte de 4.50 y porcentaje de strikes de 62%.

NFL Week Week 8 contest picks, NFL and NCAA FB season recap, Political odds update coming soon

New Post has been published on https://www.rickjshandicappingpicks.com/nfl-week-week-8-contest-picks-nfl-and-ncaa-fb-season-recap-political-odds-update-coming-soon/

NFL Week Week 8 contest picks, NFL and NCAA FB season recap, Political odds update coming soon

NFL has been as solid as I can remember this season.  Plays are 14-3-1 or 82%!!! Top 5 contest picks are 23-10-2 or 69.69%!!! and in the contest where I pick every game against the spread I sit at 61-47 or 56.48%.

Like I said it does not get much better then this:)  Today I have sent out 1 play to subscribers. And have also sent out all roadmaps for this week on every game.

In the roadmaps I discuss the various factors of each game with a discussion of how they interrelate. For those doing their own handicapping this  is invaluable.

My 5 Contest picks this week are:

New Orleans +1.5

Pitt +10.5

Detroit +3.5

Green Bay +10.5

Cleveland +3

  The Westgate top 5 went 2-3 last week bringing its record to 22-13. This is by far the best year I have seen since I have been following it.  Typically it has been a money making proposition to fade the top 5 in this contest. But so far not this season:)

The Westgate top 5 this week is:

NE

Tenn

Ariz

LV

Clev

I am with the top 5 on Cleveland and fading LV with NO.

It is clear to me the games are getting a bit tougher to handicap as we hit week 8:)

In MLB we started out winning with a win in game 1 of the world series with Phil +146

And in NCAA FB after a fast start, we have settled back down with two losing weeks in a row.

We sit at 22-16-1 for sides. Which is a solid 57.89%. But the totals this season have been 0-3. So we

find ourselves at +1.10 units in College football combining the two.

The NHL and NBA have not kicked in yet. Typically early in the season there are no plays until some kind of

history is set up in the databases for the season.  I expect those to kick in soon.

I have been doing this now online for 20+ years, and enjoy the handicapping as much now as when I started posting. While many handicappers have trouble keeping subscribers, I have had subscribers that have been with me since day 1:)

In addition, I try to keep finding ways to add value. The latest is the addition to my stock and option trades on my Slack channels. This has been a big success. As I am +EV on these trades with the drawdowns minimal.

Finally, we are heading into the midterms. I have shared on slack my thoughts of where the value was at. And in virtually every instance the lines have moved substantially in the direction I have projected.  I will post today or tomorrow on where I think things are heading into the midterms, and where I think there may still be value.

It is not too late to join us.  The cost is only $49.00 a month, and it has a 3 day free trial. Instead of paying a large lump sum for each sport, the subscription is month to month and covers every sport I handicap, including my stock and option trades.

One of the best values around.

Hope to see you join us.

However, increasing numbers of "wooden bat organizations" have arised over the last few years, showing a pattern back to timber over safety issues and also, in the instance of college summer season baseball wood-bat organizations, to far better prepare players for the specialist leagues that require wood bats.

Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels (are they still officially the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim? I honestly don’t know) is NOT an outspoken guy.

But he’s speaking out on the Houston Astros cheating for at LEAST two years (from what I saw on the sports networks at my casino last night, many believe they were still cheating last year).

But he’s speaking out about this scandal.

An interesting aside: William Hill, a major sports book where you can place sports bets where it’s legal, has a proposition bet for you.

Many pitchers have said that they are going to intentionally hit batters who were part of the team in those years, and participated in the cheating. The commissioner of MLB has said that any pitchers who do so could face harsh punishment.

And yet this same commissioner punished NONE of the players who participated in the sign-stealing scandal. So is he really going to punish pitchers for getting “baseball retribution” that is standard in the sport when he didn’t punish anyone who knowingly cheated and won a World Series as a result? This commissioner is going to have a ROUGH year because of his decision to not punish any of the players, while acknowledging that they were proven to have been cheating.

So there’s an over/under bet on how many Astros batters will be hit by a pitch this upcoming season. The number, right now, is at 83.5. So if 83 or less get plunked, you win if you bet the under. If 84 or more get hit, you win if you bet the over.

Both ways pay -110 (which, in sports book terms, means that for every $1.10 you bet, you win $1 -- so if you bet $110 and win, you win $100 and cash out $210). Those odds will likely change as people bet on it, and William Hill sees the trends, and then changes the pay lines. If you bet it now, the -110 is what you get (as well as the 83.5 hit batters, which could also change as developments happen). By the time the season starts, the over/under could be 43.5 and the under could be -110 and the over could be +125 (meaning every dollar you bet would win you $1.25 if you’re right, so a $100 bet would give you a $125 win, or a $225 total payout).

I’m tempted to bet the under tomorrow after work if the odds haven’t changed. I know pitchers are out to get the Astros for stealing their signs and knowing what pitch they were going to throw before they threw it (one pitcher is suing the MLB because he had a REALLY bad game against the Astros and then was released, saying that the MLB not stopping the cheating is why he is no longer a well-paid pitcher), but the commissioner has said he’s going to come down HARD on pitchers who hit Astros batters and punish them with fines and suspensions (a thing the commissioner did NOT do to players who have already been proven to be cheaters), so that may temper the number of Astros batters who will be hit.

(Also, I’m a “baseball guy;” not an expert by any means, but when a pitcher hits someone in retribution, they generally aim at the batter’s butt so there’s some padding; they don’t generally throw at someone’s head and try to hurt them).

But at this point I’d take the “under.” Just because of the threat of punishment by the league.

I’m going to wait for a little bit, though, and wait for either more information (since there’s a couple months before the league officially starts) or for the money lines to change.

But it’s going to be a BAD season for the Astros. They don’t play the Dodgers this year (unless they meet in the playoffs -- the Dodgers are who they won the World Series against in 2017, when we all now know they were cheating), and Dodger pitchers have been among the most outspoken about wanting to throw balls into the bodies of Astros who were on the team in 2017.

But they DO play the Los Angeles Angels (who may or may not still be “of Anaheim, even though they play a few blocks from Disneyland in Anaheim). And my stepdad tells me that at least 1,000 Dodger fans have agreed to go to the game and give the Astros a REALLY hard time.

I hope it doesn’t get violent, but I AM looking forward to seeing highlights of that game to see just how BADLY they boo the Astros.

When an Olympic athlete is found to have been cheating, they are stripped of their medal. But in baseball, you can apparently cheat all you want -- and if you aren’t caught until a couple years later, you get to still be called the “champion” even though you were proven to have cheated in order to win.

Commissioner Manfred is going to have a REALLY rough year if he punishes pitchers for hitting people in the butt when he chose not to punish players who participated in a cheating scandal, and is letting their “win” in 1997 stand. It could be the end of his career (he’s probably rich and that won’t matter to him but it would still sent a message to future commissioners that maybe it’s a good idea to punish people who cheat at the sport).

RECAP of 04/13; I went 1-2 for -1.10 units. The lone winner was in BAL as MIL Burnes covered the F5 -.5 2-0. I also had HOU Valdez F5 -.5 vs ARI and they were behind 1-0 after 5, so it’s loser #1. I will still be riding the ARI poor offense though. Their streak continues as they scored 3 runs in 10 innings on only 6 hits. Loser #2 is SEA Ray +100. This game was kinda back and forth as SEA scored…

Julio Urías, aunque tiene un nuevo desenlace en su caso gracias a su trayectoria en Las Mayores y podría conversar con otro equipo, los expertos indican que será difícil que llegue a un acuerdo. Jeferson Palacin Las Grandes Ligas tuvo un desenlace positivo para Julio Urías en su caso extradeportivo, aunque aún se mantiene bajo licencia administrativa la directiva de la liga lo mantiene como Agente Libre, con opciones de mantener conversaciones con cualquier equipo para firmarlo. Sin embargo, los expertos indican que será difícil que llegue a un acuerdo. El caso de Julio Urías aún no tiene un veredicto claro, pero la MLB comentó... "Julio Urías es elegible para la Agencia Libre, pero actualmente está en licencia administrativa mientras la liga investiga las acusaciones". En teoría era una oportunidad para que el mexicano alcanzara un contrato de más de 200 millones de dólares, pero no hay muchas opciones de lograr semejante contrato con una licencia administrativa en activo. El mercado de lanzadores en Las Mayores está casi completado, solo falta use resuelva el futuro de Yoshinobu Yamamoto que está entre Dodgers de Los Ángeles, Medias Rojas de Boston, Yankees y Mets de Nueva York, entre otras franquicias. Ya que Shohei Ohtani, Sonny Gray y Aaron Nola lograron firmas prácticamente de manera segura, por lo que el mexicano tiene mucho que esperar y conversa para lograr un contrato. Julio Urías en su carrera con Dodgers registró: - 158 juegos, 122 aperturas, 60-25, 3.11 efectividad, 4 salvados, 717.0 entradas, 710 ponches, 1.10 WHIP.

NFL Wk 4, NCAA FB Season to date , some comments on how to get on board:)

We are having a picture book NFL season so far with plays going 7-1.  And contest picks 11-4. Even in the all spread contest where I pick every game vs the spread I am 28-20  or 58.3%

It does not get much better than that:)

Today my 5 contest picks are:

New Orleans +3

Washington +3

Baltimore +3

Tampa Bay even

San fran -1.5

New Orleans just scored cutting it to a 2 pt game, so Perhaps I can start out the day with a win:)

The westgate top 5 last week went 4-1 last week. This is a very unusual start for them, fast out of the block with a 10-5 record.

Their top 5 picks this week are:

Minn

Dallas

Arizona

Tenn

Vegas

I am fading 3 of their picks and am on none of them. Perfect:)  That is exactly where I like to be.

  In NCAA FB we had a great week this week going 4-1 on plays.

The season to date record is:

2022 Season Sides Wk 1     4-1   +2.90 Wk 2     4-3   +0.70 Wk 3 Sides   1-2    -1.20 Totals  0-1    -1.10 Wk 4 Sides     3-2     +.80 Totals    0-1    -1.10 Wk 5 Sides   4-1       +2.90Season to date combinedSides 16-9   +6.10    ROI 24.4% Totals 0-2     -2.20    ROI  xxxxxx Combined Season to date:  +3.90 Units ROI: 15.60%

Football has been as solid as it gets.

NFL Wk 3 top 5 contest picks, Westgate top 5, Season to date recap for NFL, NCAA FB and MLB all posted

We are off to a great start in the NFL. Plays are 5-0, Contest picks are 8-2 and my picks in the all spread contest are

20-12-0 picking every game against the spread,

  I cannot think of a better way to start out the NFL Season:)

Today my 5 contest picks are :

New England +3

Jets +6

Miami +5

Indy +5.5

Denver +1.5

  The Westgate top 5 went 3-2 last week again bringing its record to 6-4. This is one of the best starts for the Westgate top 5 that I can recall.

Typically you want to fade the top 5 picks.

This week the Westgate top 5 is:

Jacksonville

Ciny

Balt

San Fran

Atlanta

I am fading 3 of the top 5 and not on any of the rest. Exactly where I like to be:)

  In NCAA FB :

2022 Season Sides Wk 1 3-2 +.80 Wk 2 1-0 +1.0 Sides 1-2  -1.20 Totals 1-0 +1.0 Wk 4 Sides 3-2  +.80 Totals 0-1  -1.10

Season to date combined

Sides 8-6   +1.40 Totals 1-1  -.10 Combined Season to date:  +1.30 Units ROI:  8.125%

Not the fast start we are getting in the NFL but we have an ROI of 8.125% which is solid.

In MLB we are heading into the end of the regular season.

The story this season is overnight sides. I put these out the day before and as you know I changed my database this season. The result has

been great on these:

Overnights Sides: 129-135 +19.10  (Top to bottom swing has been -4.5 to +24.00)   ROI 8.88%

Sides line bet to closing line :175-61-14  74.15%

Some things to note. The top to bottom swing is 28.5 units. I predicted in the beginning of the season that we should see somewhere in the area of 30

units top to bottom. The good news is the negative has only been 4.5 units, All of the swing has been to the upside!!!

We are at +19.10 units on these with an ROI of 8.88% on 264 plays.

About as solid as you can get in my humble opinion.

I am looking forward to betting full units on these next season.

Closing Time: Selling Jon Lester

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Jon Lester’s bounce back season has featured a whole lot of luck (AP Photo).

• Jon Lester held the Dodgers scoreless over seven innings despite an ugly 1:3 K:BB ratio, marking his fourth straight start in which he’s allowed two runs or fewer and fifth straight in which he’s recorded a victory. Lester posted a 4.33 ERA and 1.32 WHIP last season, so it seemed safe betting on a continued decline phase entering year 14 in the league. Instead, Lester sports a 2.10 ERA and 1.09 WHIP on the season despite his lowest average fastball velocity (90.8 mph) in more than a decade and has been a huge draft day profit.

Still, now looks like a good time to try to cash out, as when you combine Lester’s declining fastball with career-highs in average exit velocity (88.7 mph, which is above league average of 86.1) and Hard Hit% (37.8, which is well above league average of 30.2), there’s a pretty strong case for some forthcoming regression in a major way. Lester’s FIP is actually higher this season (4.19) than last (4.10), when his ERA was more than two runs worse, making him a sell-high candidate if possible.

[Yahoo Fantasy Football leagues are open: Sign up now for free]

• Giancarlo Stanton hit a walk-off homer, giving Aroldis Chapman the win. Chapman hasn’t allowed a run in June, and his ERA now sits at 1.10 on the season. His velocity is a bit down by his standards, but he’s yet to allow a home run this year, and Chapman’s 18.4 SwStr% is actually above his career mark. He’s on pace to rack up seven wins and 48 saves in a career-high 75 innings.

• Mike Moustakas hit his 14th homer of the year, but he’s still recorded just one multi-hit game this month, as he entered Wednesday batting .203/.284/.305 in June. With Kelvin Herrera shipped out of town, expect Kansas City to deal Moustakas next. Getting out of Kauffman Stadium, which has suppressed home runs by 20 percent over the past three seasons (only AT&T Park is more extreme over that span), and arguably MLB’s worst lineup will help boost Moustakas’ already strong value. He’s retained last year’s increased launch angle approach in 2018.

• Odubel Herrera homered for the fourth straight game, giving him five long balls over the past six contests. He was hitting just .170/.204/.191 over 47 at bats in June before the homer binge, so hopefully Herrera wasn’t on your fantasy bench during his recent hot stretch. He continues to hit third and benefit from a home park that boosts homers for lefties like few others. Herrera is two home runs shy of last year’s total in 255 fewer at bats.

• Frankie Montas picked up his fourth win over his first five starts of the year and now sports a 2.41 ERA on the season. But that’s accompanied by an underwhelming 21:8 K:BB ratio (with a 6.5 SwStr%) over 33.2 innings, and he recorded a 4.81 FIP over nine starts in Triple-A earlier this season, so he’s not an especially intriguing fantasy add in anything but deep leagues.

• Closer Talk: Sam Dyson allowed four hits and two runs Wednesday and was pulled from San Francisco’s save opportunity, as Reyes Moronta recorded the first save of his career. Dyson likely remains the favorite to close for the Giants with Hunter Strickland out 6-8 weeks, but with Mark Melancon and Tony Watson viable alternatives, his leash isn’t long…Adam Morgan recorded the final two outs of the Phillies’ 4-3 win, as the team will continue to employ a true committee in the ninth…Kevin McCarthy pitched a scoreless ninth for the Royals (who were down 3-1) and is still the best guess to get first crack at closing in KC with Kelvin Herrera traded. McCarthy is available in more than 90 percent of Yahoo leagues…The Cubs didn’t have a save situation during a 4-0 win, but Pedro Strop, who owns a 1.76 ERA and 0.98 WHIP and should close while Brandon Morrow is on the DL, is still available in 85 percent of leagues…Jake Diekman picked up a save but can be ignored in fantasy leagues, as Texas closer Keone Kela wasn’t used after pitching on three of the past four days.
