BULLPENS LAST 7 DAYS

THE PLAY: TB ML (Weigh The Play)

The deck looks stacked against the Tigers in this one and although they do have the bullpen edge, I don’t think it’s going to play a factor. My play is the Rays to win tonight, but as those of you who follow me know I like to provide an alternative for those players who are reluctant to lay so much chalk. Sometimes in these exact scenarios, I will spread out my chips on these massive (-300) lines. A good way to do this is to take a weighted play of the F5RL, F5ML, RL & ML. It can lead to a scratch at times but also saves the heartbreak of a late road bullpen meltdown.
