favorites: the Braves http://www.giantsfanproshop.com/authentic-evan-longoria-jersey , Cubs, and Mariners.The Braves are 14.5 games ahead of the Mets in the National League East.The Cubs have Jon Lester on the mound and are facing the worst team in the NL.The Mariners are in the mix for the American League wild card and at home against Sam Gaviglio and his 5.10 ERA.The public’s top plays went 2-1 Saturday, but because of their high prices they actually lost a fraction of a unit. That hasn’t deterred public bettors from favorites, however, as all of Sunday’s most popular picks are once again at minus money.>> All odds as of 10:45 a.m. ET.

They’ve also landed 92% of dollars but have fallen from -145 to -135.Why the public loves Atlanta: The Braves are 14.5 games ahead of the Mets in the National League East, and Atlanta was shut out last night. Whenever a bad team beats a good one, the public assumes the opposite will happen the next day. There’s just no way the Braves could lose two in a row to the Mets, right?Joffe: Baseball Sucks Way Less When It Wins You MoneyRead nowChicago Cubs (-195) vs. San Diego Padres2:20 p.m. ETThe Cubs have collected 80% of bets and 74% of dollar to this point Duane Kuiper Jersey , but they’ve fallen from -210 to -195.Why the public loves Chicago: Another Jon Lester start, another huge public backing. Of course, this is also a matchup between the best and worst teams in the National League, so there’s that.Seattle Mariners (-147) vs. Toronto Blue Jays4:10 p.m. ETLike the Braves, the Mariners have 81% of bets but have moved slightly from -145 with 89% of dollars.Why the public loves Seattle:聽Only 2.5 games shy of the last playoff spot in the American League, the Mariners are still clearly in the mix. The Jays, though, are 14 games back, so this matchup means more to Seattle. The Mariners face Sam Gaviglio and his 5.10 ERA http://www.giantsfanproshop.com/authentic-evan-longoria-jersey , which only makes the public more likely to back the home team.

In a vaccum, no community would be on board with that. However, what one segment of the fanbase recognized at the time, and what the vast majority see clearly now, is that the Marlins franchise had previously been dysfunctional and directionless. Imagine driving a car with shattered mirrors, no airbags and a bad transmission—it’s possible to get to your destination Derek Holland Jersey , but the journey would be irresponsible and unsafe. Oh yeah, and the driver was drunk.In the best long-term interest of his passengers, Jeter intervened and had to stop the car immediately. He diagnosed all of its problems and started investing in the solutions.Frustrating as it is to watch everybody else passing by in the meantime, Miami has come to appreciate the transparency. A year-and-a-half since the official ownership switch, it’s almost time to get back out on the road.Jeter addressing local media on TuesdayAlex Contreras/Fish StripesDuring his media availability leading up to Opening Day 2019, Jeter pushed a narrative of improved local relations and renewed faith in the organization.Is there any truth to that? Two recent polls attempted to gauge how much “re2pect” the process has earned.The Fish Stripes FanPulse series debuted this week with several questions for registered Marlins fans via email. One question’s results were especially lopsided:Are you confident in the direction of the team?95% Yes5% NoAn overwhelming majority of those polled endorsed new leadership. With that being said, there is some ambiguity in the phrasing of the question. What does “direction” mean to fans? What if one fan is happy with the direction taking five years, but others are focused more so on two or three years in the future? Could these respondents be outliers in the fanbase because they took steps to register on a new platform specifically to provide Marlins feedback?I attempted to address those concerns by modifying the question and asking it on my own via Twitter (@all_right_miami). I inquired about current level of excitement for the organization, without placing such an open-ended timetable on it: Only 16% of respondents preferred the glory days of Jeffrey Loria. This leaves 84% of fans—more than 500 individuals—feeling either somewhat/entirely more excited for the current state of the Marlins. That is despite what’s shaping up to be another non-competitive summer at the major league level.Dissenters still exist http://www.giantsfanproshop.com/authentic-evan-longoria-jersey , no doubt, but don’t overestimate the loud minority just because they speak into a microphone.The follow-up question then becomes鈥hy? What does this angry and oft-betrayed fanbase see to fuel that optimism in the absence of positive on-field production? Is it the international free agency involvement, community outreach, #OurColores and #D铆meloMiami campaigns?Possibly. The stadium upgrades, lower ticket prices and better food choices inspired by fan requests likely aided the relationship.Maybe they are just content having an ownership group that seems to care. Personally, that’s what I wanted.I will leave you with the following quote from the CEO:This new front office gets it. There are no shortcuts to developing a sustainable and winning culture. With a much-improved farm system and financial flexibility on the horizon, Jeter is preparing to drive the Marlins to success.
