Record: 3-0 +3
New York Mets +168
Pitchers: Pelfrey/Johnson
Mike Pelfrey is struggling a bit in the spring but Josh Johnson's velocity is down and he's not at 100%. Neither offense is a huge run producer and I like the value here.
White Sox/Indians Under 8.5 -120
Pitchers: Buehrle/Carmona
Buehrle has had a nice spring and Cleveland's offense is extremely weak this season. Carmona is fresh off a dominating spring performance and the White Sox couldn't hit him last season. Playing an under in a Carmona game is always a little scary because he has random horrible games, but I think both teams struggle to score here.
Toronto Blue Jays -120
Pitchers: Pavano/Romero
Romero has struggled in spring but much of his issues were due to a strained finger that is supposed to be healed now. He pitched well against the Twins last season and I think Minnesota is going to struggle to score runs this year. Pavano had a nice spring but he's struggled to get outs in Toronto historically. The Blue Jays have a superior offense and should be able to get the home win at a low price.
Oakland Athletics +110
Pitchers: Cahill/Felix
The Mariners don't have anyone that can hit the ball outside of Ichiro and I just don't see them scoring runs against a pitcher as good as Cahill. Hernandez is a stud too but his spring makes me think he's still not going at full strength. Look for the A's to win a low-scoring game. I didn't want to play the under 7 at -125 because I want to see Felix pitch a couple times to see where he is at before I lay that juice.
