Nationals -1.5
Yankees -1.5
Toronto -1.5
Mariners +1.5

Tigers/Royals Under 9
Prop: Wright over Prado -115 (Most Hits, Runs, RBI's) (Bovada)

Monarch , I had your play count at 12 yesterday. It's actually 13, I'm sorry for that. You posted 9 plays today, which takes you to 22 (it's still 21 with my mistake, so something is obviously wrong here)

And even with the 22 plays, you didn't cover you requirements.
So I'm accepting your bets from top to bottom.
Nats -1.5, Yanks -1.5, Toronto -1.5 and Mariners +1.5 take you to 17.
I'll accept the Tigers/Royals under 9, since it's one of your requirements, and that takes you to 18.

You have to make an over and an under pick with the last two.


Through Tuesday:

(1) Arzoman [20 / +6.78]

hey, is there any benefit to finishing #1 compared to #3?

Well, with the 8 remaining 'cappers, there will be a voting to determine if we go seeded playoffs (1vs8, 2vs7, etc.) or draw again from a hat. So, yes in the first case, no in the second.


My final 3 plays:

NYY / MIN score on the first inning - Yes -130 5D
Houston / Washington Under
Atlanta Braves

Austin Jackson no hits +175 (5Dimes)

Wvu, it's really close. If it makes you feel comfortable, I'd encourage you to check both our scores and let me know if you find anything wrong.

[wvutime5]

I trust you plus I'm not very good with numbers. Good luck to the elite 8
