Nice to be back for another MLB season. I will be gone for most of April traveling but that works because I like to wait until I have some real pitcher start stats to help my handicapping. And no, spring training stats don't mean a damn thing. Please don't look at those to cap the real season. And yes, I say that every year. But I am going to be playing some totals early because I think this new pitch challenge rule will mean more runs. As I said before I don't know how many runs, but I believe there are more full count balls called strikes that will, upon challenge, result in walks. But all this is speculation until we actually see but it's worth early betting in the season for me.
NYY/SF over 7 -55/+50
Pitt/Mets over 6 1/2 -55/+50
Det/SD over 7 -55/+50
Cle/Sea over 6 1/2 -55/+50
Parlays:
NYY/SF over 7
Pitt/Mets over 6 1/2
Det/SD over 7
Cle/Sea over 6 1/2
-50/+600
Pitt/Mets over 6 1/2 -55/+50
Det/SD over 7 -55/+50
Cle/Sea over 6 1/2 -55/+50
-50/+320
One more thing..... Pitchers do develop quicker than hitters normally but this year they played that stupid WBC so pitchers have already thrown real game conditions which doesn't help their arms without a serious nice long spring training and more importantly hitters have been in real game conditions already so that will give them a leg up with their timing earlier than normal. Result? Could be they hit better since they have already seen most of the aces of the other teams. I really think WBC is stupid and so will the managers when they see their aces struggling in August because they started too early. But that's just my grumpy old man opinion. GL
