2* Blue Jays -122
1* Blue Jays -1.5 +115

Really like this spot for the Jays, as the D-Rays are coming off a big win last night against the Yanks. The Jays had a few days to think about the loss to Detroit where they battled back only to lose by a run, and I feel they will be hungry and anxious to jump on the DRays early in this one. Chacin battled injuries last year with the Jays, but was still successul, despite a high ERA. Shields is a young and upcoming pitcher for Tampa, and has the potential to be good in the future, but I just dont see him improving drastically this year in hopes to build on his 6-8 record last year. I really think for Tampa to win they have to outscore you, they cant outpitch you. And Ill gladly take Chacin with run support from this high-powered potential Blue Jays offense. Toronto has Tampa's #, but I guess you can make the same claim for a lot of ball clubs in this league. Tampa is young and does have talent, and they will be a team to keep an eye out for as they become more experienced throughout the year.

i dont get why you bet 1* on the run line +115 isnt really value when the moneyline is only -122 good luck tho

I feel like this is one of those games they will win comfortably...Trust me, I thought about that before i put it in, and I almost just made it solely a play on the RL, but opted for this way. I actually just realized i put the wager in as an Action wager rather than listed pitchers, hopefully it doesnt matter, dumb mistake.

1* Seattle Mariners +135

Im going to fade the Indians every game of this series and increase my bet size while doing it if it loses. If the M's win this one today, I'll go with 2* on them tomorrow. But I really think they can get the job done today, then I'll stop. Know this Indians team well, and they have a damn good ball club this year, but they will struggle with their pitching and ability to close games out, they will blow leads, etc. They wont sweep the M's in this series, and I feel the worst I can do is break-even, I wont lose money.
