2-3 -3.17 Units YTD

3 Units 0-0
2 Units 0-2 (-4.25 Units)
1 Units 2-1 (1.48 Units)

I want to say that I will not be placing large wagers as this is my first year in baseball... I will say honestly probably betting between 20-60 dollars a game. I also don't have a ton of money left in my books because I am retiring from gambling for a while after this money is gone, if it ever is. 20 dollars is 1 unit and I bet on a 1-3 unit system. So people who don't respect small gamblers, don't bother looking in here.

Chicago White Sox +155 (1 Unit) No I will not always be on the White Sox this season, to be honest I was one second away from betting against them tomorrow. But giving me +155 with this team is to much, especially with Jose on the mound. The White Sox Struggle big time in Oakland, but this is an early season trip. The White Sox get to get out of the freezing cold of Chicago and the heart of their order is really do to start performing. This is going to be a break out game for there bats. That sounds funny because they are facing Harden. The White Sox are a strict fast ball hitting lineup. They struggle with junk ballers but excel against guys who throw hard. No one can get a fastball by Konerko, Crede, Dye, or Uribe. I think this team wakes up tomorrow and breaks out of there Oakland blunders. If you want me to give many reasons why Oakland wins this game I could. The Sox traveling across the country to a place they never win at, but I think this is going to be different. Contreras is obviously not as bad as he was in his first start and I think he has a big performance.

KC +175 (1 Unit) AJ Burnett has no right to be giving these kind of odds. Odalis Perez is not an Ace but he is an average pitcher. He can have his nights where he looks unhittable. This is a tough Toronto lineup but KC can hit the ball. Although they have not been hitting the ball well to start the season, they have the bats to come through. Alex Gordon finally may find a pitcher that he can get off the snide with. Gordon is a fastball hitter who could have a huge game and break out of his early season slump. I think KC can take this game from Toronto, because I think if they don't take this one they won't take any of them. They have a lot of young talent and Burnett can struggle to throw strikes.

Dodgers -155 (2 Units) Schmidt is throwing the ball well and may turn out to be the best off season pick up when it is all said and done. The Dodgers are a team that is going to contend this year and the Rockies are a bottom of the league road team. Although I am a big Jeff Francis fan I think he has his hands full here. This line seems a little suspect to me with the Dodgers being at home, I just don't think this line is big enough but that being the case I really like the Dodgers tomorrow.

Ok here is my feeling on that game, because I did spend a lot of time looking at this game.

Has Bronson been figured out? That is the question around the league. Bronson was never a great pitcher, he was always just average. DO NOT SLEEP ON DOUG DAVIS. Doug Davis was a very good pitcher before last season. He has a career 4.33 ERA which I believe is actually better then Arroyo. And he can look flat out dominating in certain performances. He is a very crafty veteran who knows how to get people out. Him and Arroyo are very similar pitchers and whoever shows up with the best stuff on the given day wins that game. That is my take on it. I would bet the Reds if I bet anyone, but the reason I laid off the game is because of Doug Davis. Not many know much about this guy but he is a very good player.


I want to add this is my favorite sport. I would consider myself more knowledgeable in this sport then any others, even college basketball. But I have never bet the sport so I am not an expert in any sort. But I do know a lot about the game and understand it. But as I said I am far from an expert. Maybe my understanding of the game is superior to my understanding of other sports, but gambling is a whole different game.

thanks Ej.. Have a great week.

No problem bro, always trying to help even if I may be wrong. Although you have that Cub Avatar haha... GL bro always the best of luck...

Lets make some extra cash since I am no longer betting after I lose everything, and I hope to be betting for years to come off this money haha... It won't be big enough for me to watch every game and sweat it out which will allow me to enjoy other things. And I don't cap baseball for as long because I use my basic knowledge of the games, pitchers, and players. I played baseball for 15 years and played on a high level so hoping that helps but as I said this is gambling and completely different.

i looked thur Doug Davis stats when pitching in April hes 8-12 its his worst month hes terrible in every cat also the Reds hitters have seen him a lot

Bronson Arroyo is 9-4 in April thats his best month shows me hes really good early in the season i see VALUE

Reds bats have been doing good so as their bullpen

Arroyo career vs. Arizona: 0-2, 5.30, 18.2 IP, 24 H, 7 BB, 10 K
He has 1 start in Az, it was a loss, he went 6 inn, gave up 11 H, 3 ER, BB, K.

Davis career vs. Cincy: 6-2, 3.43, 86.2 IP, 71 H, 34 BB, 65 K
Davis career @ Az: 4 G, 2 GS, 0-0, 1.20 ERA, 15 IP, 10 H, 7 BB, 10 K


The numbers of the two starters sure as hell favor the young and talented Diamondbacks. I don't have a play on this game just yet but if I had to pick a side it'd be Arizona.

As I said, not picking a side here. This line looks about right, this game is very evenly matched. I just hope Josh Hamilton gets a start tomorrow but I think the kid is sick.

As I said Davis may struggle in a month but the guy is all about control. If he is locating he is a very good pitcher. He can be erratic at times but I don't like to bet against control pitchers as often as I like to bet against power pitchers. Arroyo is also a control pitcher so my point is kind of irrelevant. The only reasons I don't like past match ups Ramon is because they aren't the same teams anymore. This game is a toss up in my opinion, but I would lean to the Reds and there bats if I had to pick a side. So I wish you guys the best of luck.

I can not believe that these Cleveland games were both canceled again. This is what they get for calling the game the other day with one strike away from a finished game. Absolute crap that was.

Burnett looking good... bad news so far but we'll see how he does the second time threw the order. Also Odalis throwing a ton of pitches early but avoiding runs.

Lets see what happens...

Lets have a big night boys
