Saturday Best Bet recaps
Saturday was a pretty fun day in the Tuley’s Takes home office, though we ended up losing overall.
After Friday’s 3-0-1 record coming out of the MLB All-Star Break (in which we personally crushed it with round-robins, and hope our loyal followers did the same despite our recent slump, even if for lower amounts), we went 0-2 with our only sports plays on Saturday as we lost on the Diamondbacks First 5 Innings +135 at the Blue Jays and Guardians First 5 +120 at the Rangers. The 0-2 mark dropped us back to 9-16-1 overall so far in July for a net loss of $470, according to the VSiN Pro Picks page https://www.vsin.com/picks/, though that doesn’t reflect our unofficial round-robin profits, which is fine by us as long as our regular readers know the score. As for Saturday’s unofficial leans, we also lost with the Rockies vs. the Yankees to kill all our round-robin plays on the day, though the lone silver lining was the Tigers First 5 coming through at +180 at the Mariners. Let’s try to get back on the winning track as I have three (hopefully) live First 5 underdogs that we’ll also be using in a round-robin and hoping for the bonus payoff if we’re able to nail the three-team dog parlay.MLB Sunday Best Bets
Dodgers First 5 Innings +105 at Mets: It’s not often we get the Dodgers at plus-money and can’t pass them up on Sunday as they go for a series sweep of the Mets. The Dodgers are also on a 6-game winning streak dating back to before the All-Star Break. I know we’re going against New York’s Max Scherzer (8-3, 4.31 ERA), but L.A. rookie Bobby Miller (5-1, 4.50 ERA) has been a pleasant addition to the Dodgers’ rotation since being called up in May.
Angels First 5 Innings +110 vs. Astros: I was happy to fade the Angels on Friday night, though we only got a push in the first 5 innings, but I like them in this “semi-swagger” spot as they snapped a 6-game losing streak (albeit split by the All-Star Break) with a confidence-boosting rally to beat Astros 13-12 late last night.
