Good Night Last Night

I won both games to bring my portfolio up $40 while the S&P 500 basically stood still.

Portfolio: $1017 (10.4% return)
S&P 500: $987 (7.2% return)

Today's Games

Boston (-180) @ Baltimore (+160)

The first game has Josh Beckett matched up against David Hernandez. The Red Sox ace is having a good season at 12-4 with a 3.44 ERA. He has increased his ground ball rate this year and that has lowered his hit rate. All other numbers are right where they should be. Hernandez does not impress me so far. He's an extreme fly ball pitcher who doesn't strikeout many, but he has decent control. I do not see the Red Sox struggling to score runs against Hernandez and believe -180 is a good play.

Bets

$36 BOS -180
