MLB Line Projections 10/1/20

 

Baseball was 2-2 yesterday.  One loss was the Reds losing 1-0 in 13 innings.  I think they left 1.2 million runners on base, or something in that neighborhood.  Then the Indians couldn't hold an early lead, or a middle inning lead, or a 9th inning lead.  Other than that, they pitched great.  I'm guessing the Indians will be looking for a flame throwing closer in the offseason.  I think we've all had enough of Brad Hand's soft tossing slider.  

I haven't bet any overnight baseball.  Here's what I'll be looking for in the morning:

Cincinnati (Castillo) vs Atlanta (Anderson)  -  The posted total is 7.5 on the overnights.  If it falls to 7, I would bet the Over at -120 or better.

Chicago White Sox (Dunning) vs Oakland (Manaea) - No overnight line.  If the total opens at 7.5, I would bet Over at -115 or better.   

Miami (Sanchez) vs Chicago Cubs (Darvish) - No overnight total on games in Wrigley as usual.  Assuming no severe wind,  I'd bet Over 7 -120 or Under 9.5 -110.   Always check weather before betting a game in Wrigley.  Never bet against a sustained wind of 8 MPH or higher.  So wind blowing in means you can't bet Over, and wind blowing out means you can't bet Under.  Go with the wind or don't bet.
