Day 33 Pick: Tigers, Verlander -200

It's been pretty rare for me to have any kind of winning streak, so I need to relish in the moment while I can.

I used to think that taking a pitcher at -200 or higher was an absolute sucker bet. Im not really sure why, but it always seems ridiculous to gamble such a high amount to get so much less in return.

I think I have now realized that its these pitchers that I need to focus my attention on. Although I am risking more units, I'm taking a much lesser risk by going with a proven winner.

Verlander has been lights out this season and he probably deserves to be a bigger favorite than what Vegas is giving him. His counterpart tonight is Gavin Floyd, who in my mind is abous as consistent as jello. I have him on my fantasy team and its a roller coaster ride with every outing.

Today, Im sitting him and going with Verlander.

Units: 5
Overall Record: 14-18
