    2016 MLB Dog of the Day

    Good Morning and welcome to our annual "Dog of the Day" competition. Rules are simple. You must choose one underdog each day that you think is overlooked and has the best chance of winning (anything that is plus money). Also please post an honest and up to date record with each pick. Feel free to post comments as well if you like as to your reasons why you chose that team, but you don't have to. BOL to all who join and let's keep this friendly.

    Cardinals +110. Adam wainright has won the last 2 years as opening day pitcher allowing 0 runs. The pirates and cardinals both slightly weaker this year. But cardinals have a healthy matt holiday and adam wainright. Pirates lost alvarez who statistically did very well against cardinals. Today is very cold in Pittsburgh. It has shown through data analysis that cold weather usually favors the pitcher. They tend to throw more strikeouts. The wind at the stadium is blowing out today which should help make up for the cold weather. I think both pitchers have an ok day but wainwright the victor. Cardinals 4 to 3

    I love Waino. Probably my favorite pitcher in baseball to watch besides Kershaw. Love to see Molina back in the lineup with some new faces. I may not post a lot the first few weeks just to see how teams start out but I have to make a bet for opening day.

    Cards ff +109

    New York Mets -½ +105 (5dimes) F5



    I'll take the better pitcher, while avoiding the royals bullpen and late inning rally potential. I was hoping the royals were having their ring ceremonies but it doesn't seem to be the case tonight. Hopefully, Mr Harvey was was able to void adequately today.

    First pick

    Twin +115 @ 5 Dimes

    Also a couple of leans on Mariners and Phillies this afternoon but not strong enough for DOD pick

    UPDATE: If this game gets officially rained out before 4:05 I will switch to the M's. If it gets officially rained out after 4:05 then I will look at the Jays or A's this evening

    Well all last year any +ev play was considered acceptable so RL wagers are good in this thread

    0-1, -100

    SDP +128 F5....... Lyles is a BP pitcher against the NL West so either Padres ahead after 5 or we are going to see a lot of runs in my opinion. Might not be a bad idea to bet SDP and the OVER.

    Nice hit. I completely missed it. I've been so busy at work I've barely got to look at this thread and do the extensive research I normally do for baseball.
