It's that time of year again!! The smell of fresh cut grass is in the air and the diamond is freshly raked. Betting moneyline sports can get a little tricky. Gotta find value and bet accordingly. I'll be using a 1-5 unit system.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!


Starting with only one play, but I may have more later:

Red Sox/Tigers over 7(3 units)
Let's be honest, both teams have lineups capable of putting 5+ runs on the board. I realize that opening day brings the ace to the mound for both teams, but there are chinks in their respective armors with regards to this matchup. Lester in 18 innings pitched has posted a 5.89 ERA against the Tigers in his career, and I don't expect that to improve a whole lot with the addition of Prince Fielder. Verlander on the other hand has historically had a tough time coming out of the gates. He hasn't posted a winning record in the month of April in over 5 years. I expect this game to produce 9 runs of offense.

Rough start. Really should've known better than to take an over on opening day...

Lastly for the night games:
Dodgers -150 (2 Units)
