Overall a tough day going 2-3 and losing 2.01 units on the day. I've been on the Florida band wagon since opening day and broke from it last night...not a smart move considering the juice I threw toward the Braves, at home, and on the run line. In retrospect, I didn't think this one through fully before placing my run line bet. With the Braves being at home, they would only have 8 at bats rather than nine to win by 2. Florida has been solid no matter who has been on the mound, they've found a way to win. That fact alone should have been reason enough to stay away, but couple that with the home favorite run line pick, and I know I made a mistake. Oh well, the season is long and the more I learn along the way, the better...hopefully things like this make me a bit more profitable by the end of the year. The other wagers I lost are fine with me, part of the game. I expected to win, as always, but know that's not how this thing rolls. Hopefully today I'll get my 2.01 units back along with more.
