Grading Last Night’s Wagers

Ideally, I’d like to do this every day.

Nationals +137 (1)

This loser gave me a major case of blue balls. Not only did the Nats come back from the dead twice, but they also managed to put the winning run 90 feet away in the 9th and 10th innings. In the 9th they were one ball away from victory. Sadly Bernadina’s 9 pitch AB concluded in a ground ball to 2nd.

Pittsburgh +119 (1)

McLouth was heroic.

Kansas City -112 (1)

The White Sox were asleep in the field seemingly all night. It finally caught up to them in the bottom of the 8th when a Konerko muff kept the tying run on base and a Ramirez catnap made the way for Mark Teahen’s second inside the park home run of the season.

Cleveland -110 (1)

The odds makers get away with another bad line.
