Will wait until the afternoon to lock them in as most lines seem to be moving against me.

GL today gentlemen

I really wish ChiSox weren't a play, but even after removing their 3 injured batters (who account for over half the team's batting WAR), the model has them as a +145 home dog. I have access to +150 which is a play.

Matty Rain: "I've compiled a team of AI bots that meticulously crunches the numbers using advanced algorithms to solve for win probabilities and how those measure up against current betting lines to find positive expected value situations for me to profitably bet on."

The bot team calculating the ChiSox win probabilities every day:

In honor of the new emoji I feel like we also need concave head guy or hamster head guy for all the times they lose.

I'm a very negative person and I have zero confidence in any of these.

Why aren't you all getting rich fading those useless fucks?

 

[Matty]

At this point I'm scared of missing out on a ChiSox win. As of right now they're not a play tomorrow.

Crochet is the one I’m a little hesitant on fading, but this Reds lineup is also the best he’s faced. I’ve mainly played the team totals vs Chicago since it’s less vig - last night was 4.5-120, won early. I’ve been Dodger TT’s over at 5 or less at home also.

For the Sox, if Sheets doesn’t hit, they don’t score. They are worse than Oakland.

@FairWarning I have the White Sox as the 3rd worst team in the league, almost tied for 2nd with the Nats. A's are 4th.

 

[Matty]

Oh dear.

After adjusting matchups to reflect injuries/lineups, the model has the Reds as a -143 road fave. Which means fading the White Sox. I'm terrified.

CIN -130

Weird because White Sox are pinging on my radar. Phillies/Pirates Over, too.

 

[Matty]

The Sox's Jimenez/Robert/Moncada trio is worth 7.4 WAR according to my 2024 projections. Reds are missing just one significant position player in Friedl (1.5 projected WAR.) Lodolo's projected WAR is also higher than Crochet's (2.7 vs 1.3). But yeah Crochet's been lights out so far.

I dunno. I'm forcing myself to blindly trust the model.
