Tuley's Takes Today: Thursday betting recaps, updated MLB stats, Friday picks 7/29 – VSiN

By Dave Tuley  (VSiN.com senior reporter)  Follow @ViewFromVegas
Thursday was another long day as I’m still far away from the Tuley’s Takes home office.

Thursday’s recaps
MLB: Faves went 7-3 Thursday with upsets by the Rangers (+ 195 in 2-0 win at Angels), Marlins (+ 118 in 7-6 win at Reds) and Red Sox (+ 115 in 4-2 win vs. Guardians). Home teams went 6-4. Unders went 7-3.
More MLB: Faves lead 874-587 SU (59.8 percent) on the season with 24 pick-'ems (faves usually win around 59 percent; still ahead of pace, but gap has been narrowing as they’re back below 60 percent). Home teams lead 779-706 (52.5 percent, but usually closer to 54 percent). Unders lead 731-682-70 (51.7 percent).
Friday’s Takes
Marlins 1st 5 + 115 vs. Mets: We’re counting on Miami’s Sandy Alcantara (9-4, 1.81 ERA, 0.90 WHIP) to make his customary quality start and have the Marlins in this game early. The Mets’ bullpen is stronger, so I’m not going to make a game bet on them, just the 1st 5. And after last night’s success with the Rangers, let’s go with another big dog as the A’s 1st 5 are + 155 at the White Sox and + 180 for the game. As I’ve written before, Oakland’s James Kapriellan isn’t as bad as his season-long stats indicate; in fact, even though he hasn’t had a decision in his last 3 starts, the A’s are 2-1 in those games and he has a 2.25 ERA and 1.12 WHIP in those outings.
Good luck today (and every day!).
