Finally...the new baseball season is here. Took long enough, thx to the WBC. Anyhow, starting small with the wagers...while i get the feel of things again, etc.
ATL/PHI under 8.5 (-115) for a 1/2 unit
Lowe vs Myers
NYM/CIN over 7.5 (+100) for a 1/2 unit
Santana vs Harang
AZ -1.5 RL over COL (+140) for a 1/2 unit
Cook vs Webb
FLA -1.5 RL over WAS (+140) for a 1/2 unit
Lannan vs Nolasco
CHI/HOU under 8 (-115) for a 1/2 unit
Zambrano vs Oswalt
CLE/TX over 9.5 (-115) for a 1/2 unit
Lee vs Millwood
CWS -1.5 RL over KC (+160) for a 1/2 unit
Meche vs Buerhle
LAA -1.5 RL over OAK (+135) for a 1/2 unit
Braden vs Saunders
Couple things. Unless i note otherwise, i always set my wagers where the listed SPs must start...simply because the SPs are obviously a part of how i capped the game. Also, i always try to avoid laying chalk whenever/wherever possible...thus the run lines. Would much rather play +/- 1 RLs, only risking the tie...but they're not available. Anyways, about a -125 to -130 is the max chalk i'll ever lay on a game. But the W/L record isn't the end game...turning a profit is...and there's no quicker way to lose $ than laying a ton of chalk on big favs, being that even the best mlb teams only win at roughly a .600 clip.
Anyhow, not much for baseball writeups. Too many games, every single day...and honestly, it only contributes to what can quickly become a grind. But (oh so) quickly, since it's opening day...
Like Lowe to keep the Filly's off the scoreboard...just don't trust the Bravo bats enough to back them, even against Myers.
Both Santana and Harang have bad splits here...and after last year, Harang needs to prove he's a decent SP again.
Webb owns the Rocks, who i think are going to really struggle again this year. Better team, better SP...and they're at home.
Can the Nats do worse than last year? Prolly so...as it's hard to find any light at the end of the tunnel for them. Hate Lannan, love Nolasco too.
Kinda like the Stros, but couldn't trust their pen here. Love the SP matchup tho, as i see both keeping the opposing bats in check.
Expecting Lee to have a fairly big regression this year. TX can hit, but it's the same old story with their starting pitching.
KC has some bright spots in their future. CWs will fall back a bit this year as well. But like them here, in a series rarely decided by just 1 run.
No one had a better spring than the Halo bats. Hope it carries over into the reg season, against a very soft-tossing lefty in Braden. Saunders doens't miss many bats either...but he had a briliant april last year...and there's not much to worry about in the A's lineup, other than Holliday.
Well, let the marathon begin. GL :tiphat:
