It’s not even satisfying winning with a Duke bet… taking a shower to wash the stink off now. If they win it all I might get very ill.

I’m preparing myself for a duke-ku final at which point I hope a meteor falls on the arena… kidding…. Kind of.

I have teased underdogs and unders 5.5-6.5 points depending on the lines with excellent results. Now that I’m posting it I’m sure it will lose but here are my picks today:

St. Pete +8.5
Miami +6

Teasers:
St Pete +14, Miami +11.5 (-110)
Miami/KU under 152.5, St. Pete/UNC under 143.5 (-110)

Miami second half… woof

*PSA Lloyd, Dinger Tuesdays on FanDuel, who da ya like?*

[Lloyd Braun]

Ayyyyyyeee

Well… they have really watered this promo down big time, as we can now only choose one game/guy to hit a dinger. Fanduel’s HR odds have also been hot garbage compared to other markets so it’s best to shop around. Yankees-BJ’s is likely going to be a hot game so expect shitty odds there. I will post my research tomorrow afternoon and welcome any input! Might settle on Reds-Guardians (still weird) game for fun.

What is a Guardian...and what is he guarding?

Tom Hanks, I think.

Some info for dinger Tuesday to anyone making a wager. It’s fun so I recommend it in spite of long odds. Unfortunately instead of site credit the refund for dingers in the game you choose is in the form of a free bet. Which means you only get the winnings from that bet as opposed to the wager and winnings you would see in site credit.

Here is a resource I used last year which helped out a lot. April is a tough month as the weather is poor, and dongers are not a robust.

To make this promo worth something it’s best to focus on long odds in HR friendly parks/matchups. BOL, I’ll probably post my pick(s) this afternoon and welcome any insight or favorites.

Pick for Guardians-Reds is Oscar Mercado +750. Just did a small play for fun, didn’t use promo for it. Also like Votto against Bieber.

Eyeing a few others:

Bichette +440
Albies +440
Betts +380
Arenado +390
Altuve +420
Hosmer +700, Yazstremski +460
Lowe +460
