Thanks brotha. You doin much preseason betting thus far?

Tampa Bay Devil Rays +100

Tampa has the more potent lineup here. Even though the Indians are throwing out some nice relievers after Byrd, I think that the Tampa Bay guys throwing today will do well against Cleveland. The Tribe aren't starting some regulars so as long as Hammel doesn't blow this in the first inning or two, I like my shot.

New York Mets -125

They have Johan on the hill and some nice relievers coming in after that. They also have alot of their regulars back in the lineup and the Red Sox are sitting alot of guys.

Was hoping you were on the Rays, too. Good luck today.

JakeT. · Mar 10, 2008

Philadelphia Phillies -105

No lineup info here but I think Kuwata will give up a ton of runs today in the later innings, and Philly has some solid pitching going against some weak Pittsburgh hitters.

GL to us. Santana was flat last time out which is the only thing that really scares me, but with the game's best starter, reliable relievers, and a better lineup, I just can't pass up -125.

Minnesota Twins +100

Very nice pitching going today. Much better than what the Marlins have to offer. Lineups are about even. Twins should take this one and only allow the Marlins to score a run or two.

Thanks man. Twins might be my favorite bet of the day so far. If they get 3 runs, this one should come in. It's not like Florida has anyone in the pen that really scares me. Lindstrom can do some good work but he's about it and all he really has is a blazing fastball anyway.

gabbana · Mar 10, 2008

i like the twins too

Cincinnati Reds +145

This one is too much to pass up. Bailey is likely to give up some runs but Volquez should pitch lights out. Chamberlin is not as good as he looked last year (just yet) and will give up some runs. Too much value.

That's it for the 1PM stuff.

SayHeyKid · Mar 10, 2008

Sorry didn't see this post in time...

Sorry for the crap day guys. Cincy held NYY in check like I figured they would but didn't score a single run. The Mets blew their lead in the bottom of the 9th on their way to a tie, and 10 runs wasn't enough for the win in Tampa. I'll try to rebound in the AM.

Dont sweat it man. You always bounce back. Hammell looked terrible. One big inning yikes.

Shields pitching tomorrow..looking forward to tomorrow.
