Tough to bet the first few weeks as bullpens are the most volatile aspect of a MLB roster year to year.... And bullpens are relied upon the most in the first few weeks as starters aren't fully stretched out yet. Weather is also an issue, many players struggle in colder weather but we don't always know which young players that might be.

wrong approach bear. starters need 3 starts to accurately gauge "this year's form". last year or previous years of pitching form do not matter. cold weather a factor in limiting pitch count first 2 weeks or so. warning: do not bet your normal unit size until game 16 ( 2 weeks worth of wait) if you must bet keep the unit size at rock bottom minimum or only play underdogs. overpriced chalks historically fail early in the season.

thinking of fading lester on the 5th, i'll see how he looks his next few starts
Maddon indicated that Lester has already reached about 70 pitches in a start this spring but would be limited to 60 in his next appearance on Thursday. His final tuneup next week won't go for more than about 80, which means don't expect him to reach 100 on Opening Day. The Cubs are planning on pitching him in minor league games this week and next to control the environment.

Have the Yankees announced anything? Fade if CC starts

Kershaw has given up one earned run in 25 2/3 innings on opening day the last four years; he's the one you want to bet.

Bear, what do you think of the Royals on opening day?
-
03-26-15 01:15 PM #20
I would keep an eye on the weather. If it's under 55 degrees and the total is set at 7.5 or 8 then I would take the under. Originally Posted by High3rEl3m3nt

I would either go Royals at + money or take the under
I just don't feel very confident that the Royals will score runs on Shark. But the atmosphere should be pretty good on Opening Day in Kansas City and the Royals have looked pretty hungry so far in spring training.

Gotta the give Royals edge with their bullpen. Ventura may only go 6 but that shouldn't be a problem.
Royals get Hocheaver back in the pen this season.

Even the elite starters are not going to go deep in games early on.
-
03-26-15 01:40 PM #23
maybe 7 innings tops. Originally Posted by krk1030

but most of time the game will already pretty much be decided by the time the starters come out

Clay Buchholz has 18 K's and only 3 walks in spring training. Maybe he's got his old stuff back.
After doing some research....
i like
Marlins (Alvarez) over Braves (Teheran)
Pirates ( Liriano) over Reds ( Cueto)
Dodgers (Kershaw) -1 over Padres ( Shields)
Nationals (Scherezer ) -1 over Mets ( Colon)
slight leans to
Royals- Ventura over White Sox - Smardijizija
Mariners -King Felix over Angels -TBA
Rays - Archer over Orioles -Tillman

Why is Bartolo Colon the opening day starter for the Mets????
he is winless in spring training with an ERA over 7

Because the Mets want a 40,000 draw with Harvey on the mound in the second home game. Originally Posted by Big Bear

Mets are guaranteed a full house regardless who pitches the home opener. the only way the Mets get a sell out in the second game is if Harvey pitches.
That's why it's Colon, Degrom, and then Harvey.

Even though Ventura throws 98 but has pretty much no movement, and the White Sox are a dead red hitting lineup. you still feel confident about the under? Originally Posted by Big Bear

What is your problem man?

when you have been gambling as long as i have you dont need to wait until the books release to have a good idea of what the line will be. Originally Posted by stevenash

As far as Ace Ventura he has a has pretty sick curve ball and change-up. He is not a 1 trick pony and i project him going 6 innings and i trust the Royals bullpen to do a good job.
