Great job, EJD.

Z actually split those. ^^^^^^^^^

He took a rotten beat with the Reds. Was 2-0 with 2 out in the bottom of the 5th and the Reds manage to push 3 across.

Starting pitching is an absolute shit show league-wide today, and lots of scoring the last 2 days means lots of tired pens too.

John kelly -200 over alan boston on who is better english teacher

I disagree with "The New York Times" and its liberal bias but the editors of the newspaper are experts in prose.

Count me as one of the newspaper's digital subscribers.

I'll chime in with some thoughts. Obviously EJD has the advantage, being up almost 6 units. If they both use "-110 type" picks, EJD has around a 84% chance to win (assuming both 53% win% long term).

If I were him, I would look ahead in the MLB schedule to circle his best projected 5-8 plays over the next 10 days. Then delay and force Z to make plays, as time runs out, Z will have fewer and fewer good possibilities with days without a pick and then EJD can better choose his bets to win a close unit race.

I've thought long and hard about how to approach this. Hard to project that far out without more concrete info on weather and pitching rotations.

As JK points out, the game theory at work here is interesting.

I'll definitely get more picky, but I'll probably still fire if I REALLY like something.
