---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A winning day as we went 4-3 including another 2U Best Bet winner. We picked up 1.7 units putting the MLB record this week at 11-10 good for a 2.61 unit profit. Since May 8 - which was the day I returned from Reno with a broken laptop - MLB has gone 49-35 for a 19.72 unit profit. 

Now I know we are still in a hole, down 14+ units on the season. We were down over 30+ units in a little over a month. Believe me that is by far the worst stretch of baseball I have ever had, eclipsing last year's 34 unit beating over the first 2 months. It only took me one month this year to accomplish that feat. For those of you that followed me last year, you know that since that opening 2 month shit show we picked up over 60 units of profit over the rest of the season. 

This year we are trending in the same direction, an opening stretch of putrid results followed by a steady climb out of the red and into the black. We aren't there yet, but my goal is to get to a positive by the end of June.  Last year on June 4 I was down 34.41 units. By the end of the month I was down 10.71, over a span of 30 days I picked up 23.7 units of profit. Over the next 30 days the season record was +7.25, good for a 18 unit profit over that 30 day span.

Over a 60 day span, following the low point of the season, I picked up 41.7 units of profit. That isn't blasting away with 10 unit plays, or 5k plays, or whatever random amount you want to use......it was with 1U or 2U plays. 

So as you can see, despite the awful start I can get us out of a deficit. I see no reason why that can't happen again. If you would like to see last year's MLB thread you can find it here.

I will have the Friday baseball ready by early afternoon, everything starts in the evening. Also, check my Twitter 15-30 minutes before 1st pitch for any late plays after umpire assignments have been announced. 

2:30PM UPDATE:

                                   MLB - REG PLAY

Washington (-1.5) -105

Tampa Bay/Minnesota OVER 8.5

Arizona/Milwaukee UNDER 8.5

Ariz/Mil has been bouncing between 8.5 and 9. Wait on this and if it gets to 9 get it. If it stays at 8.5 its still a play but obviously 9 a much better number. Scherzer has been 7-2 on the RL in this situation so as a small fav its a good value play. TB/Minn has several angles pointing to an Over tonight. The Under an umpire play.  Check my Twitter for any plays after umpires are announced, depending on when my database updates it can be anywhere from 10-30 min before game time. 

                                        WNBA

Seattle -5

New York/Seattle OVER 152

Seattle line now 5 get it before it goes any higher. The total has dropped 4 points from the open, but I have a very strong play on the Over. I was almost going to make it a 2U play, but the line movement a little strange.
