    Will track all plays here. Please feel free to chime in with your thoughts. All opinions and information are appreciated.

    Going to start today with actual 1u plays. Plays will range from 1u minimum to 5u maximum. 2u is my "standard" play (though i've gotten away from that in past threads; planning to return to that approach in bases this season), and hope to graduate from 1u to 2u in the next week or so. Don't make many 4u or 5u plays, probably just a few per season. Will be sure to include all relevant lines for sides; for totals, unless stated otherwise, juice should be assumed to be at -110.

    One important thing: i will use an apostrophe to signify a half-run (e.g., 7.5 = 7'). this is very professional, and will save us all a lot of time.

    BOL to all this season.

    Important note: unless posted otherwise, for minus-money plays, the amount posted is the amount to win (1* = to win 1 unit); for plus-money, amount posted is stake (1* = laying 1 unit).

    Signing in. Let's get it Biff. I'll probably lie low the first couple weeks.

    Past couple years late April/May/June have been my sweet spot.

    BOL!

    Hey Biff. Best of luck this season. Hope you dont mind if i stop in and give an opioion every now and then. Usually hockey and baseball are my two best, but I have totally tanked on the NHL this season...worst in 9 years. GL on the Padres tonight, but I'm going with the Dodgers. Just like their bats too much.

    Hey, Madison. Same here as to time of season. Want to start slow first couple of weeks, but pre-All-Star Break has been my best time of season last three years (my only years of capping bases). Let's get it!

    Hey, Razorbacks! Please stop in and give your opinion as often as you like. Contrary opinions are particularly welcome as I don't want this to be a feel-good echochamber. As the great Woody Hayes once said: "Blame is safer than praise. And that's what I tell the boys all the time -- that this niceness from people complimenting you can be what kills you. It can be deceiving. Yes sir, Emerson was hitting the ball square when he said, 'As soon as honeyed words of praise are spoken for me I feel as one who lies unprotected before his enemies.' "

    BOL on the Dodgers tonight. I have a soft spot for them as my dad is a lifelong Dodgers fan and I love Vin Scully (can't wait to listen to him tonight rather than ESPN announcers). One of us will walk away happy.

    not to speak for Biff, but I have the O's as well. Value home dog, value in much improved line-up for O's and in declining (somewhat) for Boston, and value in betting against last season's champs in this situation. Those are my reasons (other than being a homer) haha....how bout you Biff?

    You said it better than I could've. Sox lineup took some big blows this offseason, losing Elsbury, Salty, Drew and Victorino likely out today with pulled hammy. They really struggled with the bats in spring training. I'd hit Lester well last year (like 4.70 ERA In 4 starts). I think Sox will be fat and happy from World Series title and start the year slowly. BOL whatever you decide OMGChoGath.

    Nice. I think a prepared Waino will have revenge on his mind after Reds knocked him around in two starts late last year.

    Really want an under ump in Texas
