So far 6-2, up +5.1 units.
All Dawgs today as I try and stay in positive units. I know, scared money doesn't win money, but I'm content to play it safe with the first full card of the season.
Toronto Blue Jays - Kyle Drabek +101 I wanted to jump on the overnight line of +120 at one point, but the couple of books I have accounts at don't offer the overnight lines. So instead I have to take +101, since everyone and their brother is on the Jays today. I probably should have walked away, but the kid Drabek was so good in spring training I'm staying with it.
Houston Astros - Wandy Rodriguez +220 Wandy has actually pitched well against Philly and at Citizens Bank Bandbox in his career, and he's a lefty which I think the Phillies might struggle against a little. I think it's worth a shot to double up and cheer against Cliff Lee at the same time.
Arizona D-Backs - Daniel Hudson +143 Hudson was one of the few bright spots in the D-Bags season last year, and I'm taking him as a dog here because I think he's better than De La Rosa. Maybe should have bet this one as a first-five wager, but WTF, the D-Bags lineup is heavy with righties so why not catch lightening in a bottle.
Thought long and hard about the Brewers/Reds over (8.5) but the -115 odds scared me away. Also considered the Pirates/Cubs over (8.5), but backed off in the end because I want to see Zambrano make a start before I start to fade him.:beerbang:
GL!
