    Are your normal bets for any action as opposed to listed pitchers only?

    That's a good question. Prior to last year, it was all listed pitchers, last year was all action, now it's a mix based on books rules/defaults and which of my outs have the best price.  I usually care so little that I'll just take the best number, BUT all of my books as of a few days ago are again offering listed pitchers even if the default is action...so I should probably choose a lane.

    I called it out specifically here, because Ohtani is somewhat unique in his likelihood to get scratched and if they replace him with a AAAA emergency I'm 30 or 40 cents on the wrong side.

    That’s what’s weird to me is that case numbers have been down for a long time.  Hospital admissions relative to trailing case numbers are very high (I think north of 20%).  
     

    Brazil may be right in that admits are reflective of hospitals being more cautious and havin more space, but my worry is the variants are putting more young people in the hospital.

    Death counts will eventually give us the answer. We haven’t seen lots of variant spread in Texas (that I know of), but I don’t know how hard we’re looking for them.

    Yankees with Cole on the mound are -370 against the Tigers.  That is as high of a MLB money line as I can recall.

    The Astros were north of -400 a couple times in a late, late Tigers series a couple years ago...losing one of them. But -370 is the highest I can recall at a point of the season when everybody is still trying.

    Is J&J an option again?  I’m coming home for a few days and want to get vaccinated, but will not be able to guarantee I’ll make it back for a second. In fact I’m certain I won’t.  And not really excited about catching the second shot ass whipping in a crappy hotel across the country.   Kinda stuck and it’s starting to piss me off. 

    Turned back on in Texas.  A couple of CVS locations have appointments for J&J available tomorrow.
