    How about the Rays winning six straight on the run line to start the season ... and -2.5, and -3.5.

    Yeah well they beat the dogass Tigers and Nationals, let's see how they do now that they're going to play a real team like the...oh shit, they're playing the A's next. And then the Red Sox. Then the Blue Jays followed by the Reds. They might have a Brewers in '87 kind of start.

    Make it eight straight all on a -3.5 run line. That's the kind of run where if you had put $100 on that in the first game and rolled it over every time, by the eighth game you'd be well into six figures.

    You'd also be barred from every book on the planet, but by golly you'd have a story.

    Korean Baseball.

    Hanwha Eagles are 1-5… but 6-0 to the over. Apparently they have horrendous pitching.

    Next game at 1 am ET against first-place SSG. Total only 8.5.

    Fuck, I haven’t won even a middling parlay in ages. Took Rays run line and Pirates and Giants ML today with a boost to get it to like +460. Shoutout Michael Conforto for that 8th inning homer. Because it was grim for a minute. Patience pays off.

    Nine straight! Also, it should barely count b/c they are playing some awful teams. Curious to see how they do going forward.

    Also, the pain. I forgot I had a profit boost that had to be used by tonight, so I decided 10 minutes ago to put $2 on Soto homering. He just doubled off the top of the CF wall.

    Politely disagree with you there, even bad teams win some and to have nine straight beatdowns of this size is nuts.

    Yeah, I'm mostly being flippant. Nine in a row is impressive regardless of margin. But they really have played some bad teams! Tigers, Nats & A's could all average 100 losses (possibly b/c the A's will lose 140).
