Alright gentlemen. Hope everyone had cashed in nfl and nba (even though I believe nba is rigged and you should never bet on it), and the first couple weeks of America's greatest past time have been sweet. I'm back at it after a fairly decent run last season. I'll be posting my picks when time permits and hopefully will be able to provide the forum with some ca$h money$.
To start, I'm a pretty big fan of betting teams the day after they lose. That being said, I think the tigers and dodgers are in a good spot today. Verlander has shown, again, to be a solid pitcher thus far, with only 1.80 era in his last three starts. Ryu is no different, and has been a solid arm for the dodgers. However, Burnett has also been doing comparably well and maintains around a 3 era in his last three starts as Ryu does. But, I still think the dodgers have the edge as their bats seem to hit well when Ryu is on the mound; some pitchers, teams just bat better for. So, I'm taking tigers RL and dodgers ML to start.
Next, I also like the Brewers ML for the sole reason that they are probably the hottest team in baseball. And sometimes, its all about riding those gravy trains to the promise land my friends. Gallardo also hosts a 1.97 era in last three starts while Kennedy hosts a 3.79; both pitchers have pitched about 19 innings. I think the Brewers have the edge in pitching today. Combined with their hot bats, I'm hopping on for the ride and even sprinkling a little bit on that RL.
Last, I like the braves RL tonight. And, I love the value at +170. Sure, lines are what they are for a reasons. The line makers definitely know what they are doing. But, I love the pitching match up tonight between Wood and Fernandez. Miami really hasn't lived up to the hype they were getting in the off season. Last season, Alex Wood was far from a good pitcher; I'll even go to say he was terrible. But, pitchers always have bad seasons, because he has turned things around and is killing it this year. With a 1.80 era in 20 innings pitched, I think he keeps padding those pretty stats tonight. Also, while I don't rely on trends such as games played at night, braves are 10-2 in home night games. They love putting on a show and hope they do the same tonight. braves RL.
Hope to see some ca$$$$H to start the season. GL to all.
