No, I can't really tell that.
You really can't be faulted for taking Glavine tonight.
I've made what I knew were bad picks in situations like that, because I was pissed for making the first bad pick, and I felt that the Mets "owed me", and I had to get even with them.
It's not like Glavine is Hernandez or Soler or somebody.

What? You're gonna catch me in overall? You want something to bet in, here 'ya go: I'll bet whatever you want, and give you 4-1 odds on you finishing with more total points than me. You're down by about 220 points, so you're certainly an underdog. And 220 points in this game is 220 points - no projections, games in hand, or any of that stuff to muddy the waters. But 4-1 is fair odds, I think. If you don't think so, make me a counter offer. I mean, if I said I was giving you 50-1 or 100-1 (which I won't, of course) I'm sure you'd take it.

Don't tell me that in a game of skill you don't have enough confidence in your chances of catching me that you think that your chances are worse than 1 out of 4. Or, let's reverse it. You give me 4-1 odds, and I'll bet that I beat you by more than our current difference over the rest of the season. Don't tell me that that in a game of skill you don't have enough confidence in your chances of beating me with a lead of 180 points or so that you think that your chances are worse than 1 out of 4. Or take both bets. Tell 'ya what..... I'm so confident that I'll take 3-1 odds instead of the 4-1 that I'm offering you. How can you say "No" to that?

Not that big a loss compared to 15-16 FPPG that you're probably averaging in pitching in this game.

Would you rather have Penny or Haren right now? So, all kinds of interesting propositions to bet on out there. We're pretty much tied in this game.....you wanna bet on the rest of the way? Pick the amount, I'll give you 5-2 odds on your money. Then there's my proposition on the Overall Points Winner. You just chopped 60 points off my lead, but my offer still stands -- I'll give you 4-1 on you catching me.

Over/Under 100 as best score of the day:
7/13 - 7/22
Over: 5, 50.0% Under: 5, 50.0%
Sun, 7/23: N/A Mon, 7/24: Under (98) Tue, 7/25: Under (91) Wed, 7/26: Over (103) Thu, 7/27; Over (101)
Total to Date:
Over: 7, 50.0% Under: 7, 50.0%
The average scores on the "Over" days are barely over 100, while they're much lower on the "Under" days.
But that doesn't matter.
All tied up at 7-7.

Yesterday (79) certainly seems to help ptove that point. But, as I also said yesterday, that doesn't matter. So how many straight days of over 100 do you figure we need before we can say that someone scores over 100 "practically every day"? Starting today, 65 days in a row of someone scoring 100 or more gets it up to 90% of the days. I guess that comes close to qualifying as "practically every day" :p
