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.

basically adding another unit to the play. this is a pretty strong one for me. didnt expect to get this number. but certainly not complaining.

well theres a quick way to go to 1-1 on the season.
at least this one was a no doubter. pitchers working from behind in the count too much. guys are just teeing off.

You guys better hope it starts snowing/raining and the game gets shortened or called due to weather.

Larry Vanover has a "pea-sized" strike zone...

Funny when both dugouts are pissed.

you couldnt be happier with this early score. youre loving this.
:drink:

will be interesting to see how two control pitchers (sowers and beuhrle) fare tomorrow afternoon in the same conditions.

No play in this one for me...I need the Dodgers later for my left nut though. It looks like the Marlins will cash again so at least I start the day with a win which is more than I can say for the previous 2 days of baseball.

a month ago, your 50% comment in the basketball forum was one of the most ridiculous things ive ever seen posted.

.... but at least its now apropos with my 1-1 record in baseball season.

i will say that i think you have a dead winner with the dodgers. suppan, imo, is a mediocre pitcher at best and will flame out in milwaukee. its early, but this is the kind of game schmidt was signed to win for los angeles. good pitchers stop skids, even early ones.

There is a very easy way to keep comments like that out of threads, simply keep track of your record for plays posted on this site. It isn't that difficult.

I wasn't just throwing out a random guess...my comment was based strictly off tailing all of the plays.

As for the Dodgers, I really like both backing Schmidt and fading Suppan. I was really surprised at this line. It won't be often that you can grab Schmidt at this price this season.

6-4 Marlins in the 8th and you're already calling it a win??? Very brave!!

And another one bites the dust with an early win prediction. Game wasn't over at 6-1..............

Prodigy:

Since baseball season is just beginning, as Clip suggested, why don't you post your record each day you have a play. You seem like a pretty sharp individual and surely understand that posting a record, win or lose, enhances credibility. I for one appreciate all posters who include their YTD record. Food for thought.

Buerhle will come back big this year Prodigy. I know the beginning of spring was weak. But look at the last start he had against Atlanta in Atlanta. Before that game Ozzie called a private conference with Buerhle, and told him it was time to get your head out of your ass. And start pitching like the Mark Buerhle he knew. He closed the meeting telling him to go get his money and get us a damn trophy.

Mark Buerhle responded with 7 strong innings of pin point location and 2 ER's against. Mark is an elite pitcher who had a down year. He will get his 17-19 wins this season. Buerhle is ready to go and ready to prove everyone wrong who is doubting his career. Remember this guy was one of the most reliable pitchers in the game for 5 seasons, you don't just do that by accident.

I would take Buerhle, and I would take the Sox huge if they lose today. Buerhle knows he is the ace of this staff, and himi and Garland have always been the guys that have stopped huge skids. Buerhle knows when it is time to shut up and pitch.
