Good luck to all, I hope my insight earns us some money.

FUTURES:
NY METS UNDER 89 1/2 WINS - 1 UNIT
Starting pitching wins, Mets have a shaky rotation with an aging Tom Glavine, a hurting and also aging Orlando Hernandez, still unproven John Maine, and a very overrated Oliver Perez.
FUTURES:
ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS OVER 79 1/2 WINS - 1 UNIT
As previously stated, starting pitching wins, D-Backs feature a rotation of a very underated Brandon Webb at the top, who should get 15 wins.
Randy Johnson seems rejuvinated in the desert, and will lend wisdom to Webb as well. Livian Hernadez is a fine number 3 starter, and the crafty southpaw Doug Davis should pitch in 10 wins.
The lineup lacks big boppers, but the Conor Jackson, Stephen Drew etc. etc. kiddy corps have upside potential, but the pitching staff is the main reason D-Backs will finish slightly over .500 at say 84-78.
MONDAY APRIL 1 PLAYS :
ST. LOUIS OVER NEW YORK - 1 UNIT - 145
ST. LOUIS/NEW YORK UNDER 7 1/2 - 1 UNIT +135
Baseball handicapping 101 states starting pitching wins, Chris Carpenter is (along with Roy Oswalt) the National League's premier starter.
The current Met roster is 32-141 (.244) lifetime against Carpenter, and those numbers come down further due to the fact the only Met who hits Carpenter on a regular basis (10-26) is Damion Easly and he rides the pine as Jose Reyes's backup insurance plan.
Conversly the Cardinal bats own Tom Glavine 62-206 (.301) with a hefty .390 on base percentage.
Pujols feasts on Glavine to the tune of 9-20 (.450) and Rolen's 19-53 (.358) should generate enough runs to give Carpenter a comfrotable 4-1 type win here.
I'm never happy about laying -145 in a game, but this one I'm easy with, I think Carpenter -145 at home on a cold opening season night is a good value, and speaking of values, how can you not love getting +135 on the under 7 1/2 featuring two tremendous starters on a cold night.
1 unit each play.
Good luck all.
