Bets:
Boston Red Sox -1.5 +115
Pitchers: Beckett/Weaver
Beckett dominated in game one and Seattle isn't hitting close to their potential in their games so far this season. Weaver hasn't pitched well in years over the course of a season and Boston's lineup should be able to knock him out fairly early and get enough runs to win by 3 or 4. Gotta like the home team with the dominant pitcher.
Anaheim Angels +130
Angels/Indians Over 8.5 -120
Pitchers: Santana/Sabathia
I don't expect either pitcher to do that well since they are in a hitters' park and both teams can put up a ton of runs. Sabathia didn't look that impressive his first time and can definitely be out of this game early if he pitches similar to how he did against the White Sox. If both guys get hit, the Angels have a big edge in bullpen guys and at +130, Anaheim is too juicy not too play.
Tampa Bay Devil Rays +130
Tampa Bay/Texas Over 10.5 -115
Pitchers: Seo/Wright
The DRays are looking like they will have one of the better offenses in the league this year and they should kill Mr. Wright in Texas' hitters' park. Seo is kinda iffy but he pitched well in Texas a few years back. He'll give up some runs to a nice offense but I expect him to pitch better than Wright. If the Ray's pen blows it, which they like to do, then the over will be cash money. This seems like a situation where I either win both or go 1-1 and come out even. I like my chances.
Minnesota Twins +125
Pitchers: Bonser/Pettite
Andy Pettite did not have anything in his first start of the year and the Twins hit very well at home last year and should do so again in this one. Bonser has had a little bit of success against the Yankees and NYY has done most of their damage this year against lesser pitchers. Bonser will provide a little bit more of a challenge and there is value on the dog.
Oakland Athletics -105
Pitchers: Gaudin/Garland
Garland looked lost last year and he looked even worse in his start this year. I really think the guy is a below average pitcher right now and Oakland's offense should put up a few runs here and there. Gaudin looked great in his first start and his command seems to be on point which is good news for him. The White Sox aren't hitting that great to start the year and the home team at a pickem with the better starter on the mound is what I call value.
