The Square Tax – Daily Tax Report
Evening Edition – Wednesday, August 5
Preview
The afternoon card put us in position for a winning day, but we aren't changing our process. Tonight's card attacks two plus-money opportunities instead of laying heavy favorites.
🟢 Official Plays
Phillies Team Total Over 5.5 (+105)
We're passing on the expensive moneyline and attacking the matchup through Philadelphia's offense. Six runs is the target, and we'd rather take plus money than pay nearly -190.
1 Unit
Andrew Painter Over 4.5 Strikeouts (+125)
Five strikeouts is a reasonable target at an excellent price. Plus money on a strikeout prop with this ceiling is worth taking.
1 Unit
🟡 Lean
Reds Team Total Over 4.5 (-150)
Good matchup.
Too much juice.
🔴 Pass
Heavy moneylines.
There are several teams we think probably win tonight, but probability alone doesn't create betting value.
💡 Tax Tip
Sometimes the best bet isn't the team you like—it's the market you choose.
Instead of laying -187 on Philadelphia, we attacked the team total at plus money.
Always ask whether there's a better way to bet the same opinion.
Bankroll Reminder
Every official play is 1 unit.
No chasing.
No doubling because you're ahead.
Protect the bankroll.
