GFX's Xtra Rare MLB Play....Parlay to Boot!

I am extremely selective in playing MLB mostly because ML's can be very expensive to lose and so today i really like two lines but instead of picking just one and putting up the juice i'm going for both as i see both as having a huge chance of winning --

Game 1: San Francisco @ Florida
Commentary: Well look SF has won 3 in a row and their batting average looks great heck they've only given up 3 runs the last 3 games, they are rolling right? They HAVE played well lately but hold on they are away, they beat Washington (LOL) and they have Sanchez on the mound who is a terrible away pitcher. On the other side you have 3 solid factors -- home field, off a loss (where they have been 5-0 lately) and most importantly, a roster that absolutely whales on lefty pitchers. FLA -140 for first leg.

Game 2: Colorado @ St. Louis
Commentary: Pitching-wise you get similar talent currently but there is a big difference -- St Louis has beat Cook the last 6 times they faced him. St. Louis is also off a loss, which historically has been money for them...this year their game 2 stats are 11-7 overall, but 4-4 after a loss. BUT, Colorado is 1-7 after a win going into game 2! "Happy to have won game 1" is all you need to see. Rule #1 of baseball -- unless you are an awesome team, if you embarass the home team in one game, the next you will likely have them come back at you in a big way. The play here is St. Louis -128.

These prices are not steep and you could easily play both separately...but imo today, I am not satisfied with a 1-1 split and a small loss...or even worse, both teams losing to the tune of -$268.

Instead, I will be confident my capping is good and my picky method of betting leads me to put the risk on the books:

$100 ML Parlay Florida x St. Louis = $205 profit if they win

gl to all today in your plays!

Evan: What? One name? ONE NAME!?!? Who are you? Seal?
Seth: Fogell, this ID says that you're 25 years old. Why wouldn't you just put 21, man?
Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?
