playing the under 10 (+105)
maybe bettors will overreact to the opening day score and keep this number/juice where its at, but i really dont see this price being available in the hours leading up to gametime. we'll see.
but westbrook has been the indians most consistent starter for the last handful of years. probably one of the most underrated pitchers in the AL and certainly on the indians staff. the thing thats so appealing about him is that he doesnt put unnecessary runners on base. his control is excellent, he works quickly, and his sinkers usually results in hitters pounding the ball into the ground. i always like playing him under in hitters parks like chicago, kansas city, and boston. the totals are usually higher but its tough to take advantage of the dimensions/short walls when youre not getting a lot of balls in the air. by no means am i trying to make him out to be a 20-gm winner. but his prices are consistently more favorable than someone like sabathia but with westbrook, you usually know what youre going to get. sabathia can be dominant ... but he can also be a trainwreck. with westbrook, its a lot more even keel.
garland is sort of the x-factor here. he used to get hit hard by the indians earlier in his career but he's settled down against them lately. and i really don't see the indians tattooing this team for another chunk of runs after their opening day explosion. it certainly doesnt hurt that the temperature for this one is going to be right around 30* at first pitch. the midwest is going to be pretty damn cold over the next few days and through the weekend.
