Monday morning I couldn't justify going with a run total over 15.5 so took Rakuten -2.5 runs. In another CPBL pitcher's duel, they won 17-10 an lifted me back over .500 to 22-21.
CPBL Standings
Rakuten 15-4
CTBC 9-11
Fubon 8-11
Uni 8-14
Tuesday morning at 6:35 am EDT, Rakuten is at Uni.
Moneyline: Rakuten -335, Uni +240
Run line: Rakuten -3.5 -112, Uni +3.5 -117
Total runs: Over 15.5 -104, Under 15.5 -125
Pick: There is no bet on this game that makes any logical sense. Rakuten will most likely win, but the payout is too small. 3.5 runs is a lot to give in a league where teams regularly pound relief pitchers. And Over 15.5 . . . again? But since I've been following this league and have to make a call, for the first time this season I'm going to hedge and hope either Uni pulls the upset or for Rakuten it's again clobbering time. The same amount of money on Uni +240, Rakuten -3.5 runs and Over 15.5.
Moneyline: Chinatrust -130, Fubon +102
Run line: Chinatrust -1.5 +116, Fubon +1.5 -152
Total runs: Over 14.5 -134, Under 14.5 +102
Pick: Total Runs Under 14.5 at +102. Doesn't anyone play 8-6 games anymore?
