Bet CPBL Saturday Baseball: Rakuten, off a rare loss, hosts Chinatrust; Fubon, in search of a win, is at hot-hitting Uni

(All lines from Parx Online Casino)

With Fubon ace Henry Sosa scheduled to pitch against Uni Friday morning, Under 11.5 runs looked good to me. And for the second night in a row, Uni scored 12 runs in the first five innings. In the Rakuten-Chinatrust game, I liked the Over at 9.5 runs. Rakuten led 3-2 going into the seventh, so this looked like another potential L, but then the Brothers put up a 4 spot and 2 in the ninth and the Monkeys scored 5 in the ninth to force a tie, which they lost 10-8 in extras. but 18 is over 9.5 so that was a win and I'm now 16-13.

CPBL Standings

Rakuten 9-3

Uni 7-7

Chinatrust 6-7

Fubon 4-9

Saturday morning at 5:05 am EDT, Chinatrust is at Rakuten and Fubon plays at Uni.

Moneyline: Rakuten -210, Chinatrust +155

Run line: Rakuten -1.5 -103, Chinatrust +1.5 -127

Total runs: Over 10.5 -129, Under 10.5 +100

Pick: With two of the league's top starters going, this should be a pitcher's duel, until the bullpens come in and batting practice bursts out. Still, I'm taking the Under.

Moneyline: Fubon +163, Uni-Lions -220

Run line: Fubon +1.5 -115, Uni-Lions -1.5 -113

Total runs: Over 13.5 -127, Under 13.5 -103

Pick: Fubon has been struggling mightily and Uni has been pounding the ball. But it's baseball, Suzyn, so at +163 I'm taking Fubon on the moneyline.
