Gave back another unit yesterday to start this week 0-1. Oops, actually 1.2 units.
Unlike yesterday where I searched and searched for value and didn't find any, today I'm liking a whole slew of plays and had a hard time whittling it down to my standard five-play max per card.
Arizona D-Bags - Bobby Enright +133 Enright was solid after his call-up last June/July, whereas Cashner is still unproven in my mind and likely to be pretty jacked up for his debut. What clinched the deal for me was that Sportsbook said that 94% of people betting on the game were betting on the Cubs ... I'll take the better pitcher and try and piss in the Cubs cherrios any day.
Arizona/Cubs - over 9.5 +100 Sort of hedging here, but with the wind blowing out to right at 10-15 mph, and two young hurlers on the bump. I'll take even odds to watch the young righties learn the ropes of Wrigley with the wind blowing out.
San Francisco/San Diego - over 7 -105 I'm not sold on SD-native Harang making his first hometown start in the SD home opener feel good ju-ju story. My hope is that Bumgardner for SF gives up a few too, and this one goes over late on the pens.
NYM/Philly - over 8 -105 When I saw that this was down to 8 and just -105, I jumped. Yes, Hamels can dominate but he can also give up 2 or 3 in a blink just as easily, especially in Citizens BandBox Park. But I see the red-hot Phillies offense going over 8 on their own against Chris Young in his Mets debut. I just see this over as great value.
Pittsburgh/St. Louis - under 8.5 +100 McDonald is actually the Pirates best pitcher, and I expect McClellan to continue his torrid spring. I must admit I'm a little scared that the Cards are set to bust out, because they are due, but I still think McDonald is the type of pitcher to limit the damage.
Also thought long and hard on Seattle and rookie Pineda (at +143), and LAA's Weaver as such a small fave (-108), but backed off because I can't toss my load at every pretty girl that walks by. Maybe if my Arizona/Cubs games come in early I will chase, but for now I'm off.
GL yall! :beerbang:
