BOS +100 (1/2*)

This first week I will be playing mostly half units until I get some numbers on guys and teams start sending down youngsters

 

[BenchCoach]

There are two ways I cap these games...#1 I create a list of teams I like to play when they are on the road who have a recent history of winning on the road in spring training. I also create a list of team who play like shit at home and fade them. These are the early plays during the 1st week or so. Early on you will find home teams favored in most every game regardless of who they are. This way of pick games tends to grind out profit over the month, in most cases these will be dogs or even money. Todays play is a fade on Minny...#2 After a week or so I start capping the games using lineups and pitching rotations, this is where the real money is at

thanks Schrute...Spring Training can be a lot of work to grind out 5-10 units but these games are great to watch and I believe it's good way of getting prepped for the season...worst case I will be around even, I have made as much as 22 units in spring training...this used to be a money making racket a few years back when they posted totals

​Tb +110 (1/2*)

3/9

STL -125

Long road trip here for Boston almost a 3 hour bus ride if I remember right...considering BOS has the starter TBA I would say there are small odds off many big name guys making this trip

 

[BenchCoach]

3/10

Cin +105
Tor -130
Kc -125

 

[BenchCoach]

I have Cincy as one of the better teams this spring so far but more importantly I have MIL as the worst team in both leagues after a weeks worth of games...The Jays are hitting up Minny after they had a 2 hour road trip up the coast to PIT and have to turn around tomorrow morning and drive back up the coast 3 hours to play TOR...KC is the highest rated team in spring training after one week making them a play for me...I may add once I get a better look at pitching matchups tomorrow...gl guys
