thanks for the info Dave. BOL
You're welcome, and here's more info :)
I like the Fish a fair bit. Hernandez is getting old and tired, but the real value here may be in the total. Because CRIS will NOT come off of 8.5, at 8 I like the over, even if it is the relatively square bet at this point in time.
Just based on the lack of movement in the side to the Reds yet the total going up, I like the Cubs quite a bit. Obviously there's no value whatsoever left in the total (IMO) but if they really thought it was the Reds going to score all those runs, they'd be favored.
Coin flip in Milwaukee, but lean to the Brewers. Garza is almost due to pitch well and the Nats have a tough time w/RHP. If it weren't the Brewers first game back it'd be a play for sure, but the Nats come off the emotional series with Atlanta, so it's the Brewers or nothing.
I simply can't touch the Giants game. Cain can be SO bad at times, if you made me I'd take SD +.5 for the first 5 innings, just because they've got an unknown entity pitching.
I also like Toronto, but have some reservations about their bullpen, so taking them F5 is a great option, IMO. Again, I like Stroman but how long he goes remains to be seen, and I lean under here as well. Saw quite a bit of Whitley and impresses w/his ability to keep the ball down.
That Seattle game could be 2-1 or 7-5. NOT laying -140 with Felix, who Boston hits reasonable, so Red Sox or nothing. Haven't looked at what the Boston RL costs, but with a total of only 6 it's probably not cheap, but, a winner. Need lineups for that one.
I still don't know how the Rays can be -160 to many people. Their pen is awful and Volquez CAN be decent. I would simply take the Pirates RL and perhaps the over in that one, since Pirates get a DH and Volquez could walk the park at any given time.
If I add the next one, it will be the Royals. Just too much sharp money there right now. If they'd hit Grienke at ALL in the past I would, and still might. Can't take the Dodgers, I do know that.
