Pennsylvania dreaming, on such a winter's day... 
Phillies +119 (Hamels) vs Mets - 1 Unit
Public all over the Mets, but the line seems to be holding steady...even going slightly the other way at one of my books. I don't like seeing everyone here on the Mets, but I don't think Hamels is getting enough respect here...IMO there is great value in this line with Hamels on the mound. This is the NL's next dominant lefty....and after his performance in his first start (4 hits/8 SO/1 walk over 7 shutout innings), he could already have arrived. Maine looked good too, but I'll take the Phils as a significant dog today...
Pirates -112 (Snell) vs Cards - 2 Units
Getting a great number here with the better team, and better starter. Snell mowed 'em down his first start (11 SO, no walks). Cards' Looper is suspect, and STL coming off 10 runs yesterday against the brutal Astros...I see that power surge drying up today.
Blue Jays RL +100 (Burnett) vs Royals - 2 Units
First RL play of the year, but I think the Jays go off today in their home-opener against Perez. Jays usually a better offensive home team, and flame-thrower Burnett should be more comfortable in the cosy Rogers Centre.
