Florida Marlins +115

Both teams are close to their full lineups but I prefer Anibal Sanchez to Hayden Penn any day of the week. Sanchez has pitched better this spring as well.

Marlins to +110 just a minute or two after I placed my bet. It would not surprise me to see the Marlins favored by gametime...

St Louis Cardinals -1.5 +130

The Cards have a fuller lineup of regulars then the Mets do and Wainwright is downright nasty. John Maine goes for the Mets but he has an ERA above 10 in the spring and is having issues with his rehab. His velocity just hasn't been there...

I am on both plays today. What web-site updates spring games the fastest?

Hopefully it's a 2-0 type of early start. As far as updates, MLB.com is the fastest I've seen but it's kinda weird. The main page is much faster then clicking on "Scoreboard" even though it's still about 5 minutes behind actual action. The "Scoreboard" feature seems about 15 minutes behind and Yahoo is about an hour or more behind. Those are the only ones I've tried though. The easiest way is too watch MLB.tv or try and find the games on a site like Justin.tv and watch them live but they are hard to find at times.

I like the cardinals coming off a loss yesterday

I don't really put too much into spring as far as wins/losses go personally. I kind of treat it as every game is separate as opposed to NBA and NFL where I take revenge type situations into effect more. Either way, let's get a Cardinals victory no matter what their motivation for it may be. :toast:

Sanchez a little bit off early but looking like he can get out of the inning. Struck out leadoff but then gave up two straight outs before getting the #4 hitter out.

Sanchez escapes the inning without giving any up and the Cards already up 2-0 and still going in their first frame at-bat.

Jake do you only play 1pm games?

Nope, they are just the only ones that have released lineups complete for both teams so far. In about an hour the 4:05 PM EST games will get lineups released and I'll try and find some more quality plays.

Thanks for the update Jake T!!

Top of the 3rd: Marlins up 6-0 and might score more
Top of the 4th: Cards only up 2-1

St Louis needs to add a few more on but Florida looking very nice.

PS, it's only a matter of time until the Cardinals start to score on Maine. They've had 7 guys on in 3 innings.
