    MLB Friday - Opening Day part 2

    Started 3-1 yesterday, up +3.1 units

    Not liking the lines today as much as yesterday. Too many big faves (Halladay, Ubaldo, Price, Mets killer Josh Johnson and Dumpster) for my taste.

    But I still found plenty of picks to blow my day one winnings on! :laughing:

    Chicago White Sox - Mark Buehrle -105 I should have checked to see if they offered a prop bet for time of game, because I bet this one is over in less than 2 hours. Carmona usually starts out hot, which is the only reason the odds are even in this game, because the Sox have the better lineup by far.

    Baltimore/Tampa Bay - over 8.5 -105 I'm not a fan of Guthrie at all. Probably should have looked at a first-5 bet on Price, but I'm sure it's huge juice. Hoping the O's scratch a few runs off the piss-poor Rays pen to put this over in the late innings.

    Arizona/Colorado - over 8.5 -105 Hoping the Rockies go over by themselves off of Kennedy. I'll take a couple of "Coors Field"-aided HRs by either team and cross my fingers this one goes over on the bullpens too.

    Seattle/Oakland - over 6.5 -105 I know it's Felix the Cat and Cahill, but 6.5 is too low IMO. Could be trap, but I'll naw my leg off if I have too.

    Thinking about a wager on the Twins (Pavano) as a dog (+114) and LAA (Haren) as a small fave (-135), but haven't pulled the trigger on those yet. I'm trying not to bust my nut on so many games this early ... it's only day 2! Trying being the key word.

    GL peeps!

    Definitely with you on the White Sox, havent looked into the later games yet but I could definitely hop on either of those first 2 overs.

      I'm thinking the ARI/COL overs is a good bet as well. I definitely don't see Kennedy as being number-one starter material, but if not him, then who?

      Was looking at Seattle's line too, but both aces are pretty good (expect Cahill to regress this year, though) and both offenses stink.

      Good luck bud.
      NFL 17: 45-47-2 // 48.91% // -10.12
      MMA: 247-332-2 // 42.66% // -6.04
      MLB 17: 151-140-8 // 51.89% // +5.65 ROR // +42.13
      NCAAF 17: 63-49-2 // 56.25% // +6.80

        I know, although one could argue that Cahill is not the A's ace. On paper it looks like 6.5 is the right number, but that would be too easy. If there's one thing I've learned betting baseball is that nothing is ever as easy as it seems.

        Loving the fact the Cubs are losing! :beerbang:

          Taking a second look at Arizona's offense, it really doesn't seem that bad, montero might be their x factor. Also, you never really know what your going to get from Kelly Johnson, Chris Young, along with Upton. They won that over bet for ya with a couple of homers against jimenez. God isn't it terrible when 2 homers gets me excited about the D BACKS....lol... speaks novels about how low my expectations are regarding my hometown dodgers.

            Another 3-1 day, up +5.1 units but it's a marathon.

            I'll take back some of my bad talk against Guthrie of Baltimore, nice opening day for him is what screwed me today. Dick.
