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.
