Once again, the weekend has arrived and for the bookie busters that only means one thing, MONEY!
I probably sound like a broken record by now, but the importance of managing your bankroll the next 5-6 weeks in the lead up to football season will be crucial. Pick your spots, play patient. Set a goal, a realistic one, Use my plays to get there and bounce. Know when to let off the gas and just coast it on in, even when losing.
Good luck this weekend my people!

Brandon Marsh tied the game on a sacrifice fly in the top of the inning to end the Phillies' 26-inning scoreless streak.
The Astros took a 1-0 lead on Yainer Diaz’s RBI single in the second inning. They only managed three more hits off Phillies starter Christopher Sanchez, who struck out 11 with zero walks over six innings. Sanchez has not issued a walk in three straight starts.
Hunter Brown lowered his league best ERA to 1.74 by scattering three singles over seven shutout innings, with nine strikeouts. He did not allow a runner to reach second base.
