    The Orioles are a team to bet on as long as they continue to get good odds

    Last year after Showalter took over the Orioles were a very strong team. I think that continues into the first 50 gmes of this year before other teams figure them out a bit. You will continue to get good odds on them for awhile especially on the road in bigger named teams venues. For me they might become an auto play on the RRL on the road and RL at home. Keep a close eye on this team. They are being noticed quickly by bookmakers.

    I was thinking the same thing but I'm pretty sure the O's will be able to score a few runs on Porcello and that Tigers' bullpen. The price looks dead on this game especially since its the O's home opener aswell and the Tigers just came off a tough opening series against the Yankees.

    Take orioles RL on monday. Porcello will get hit hard. +165 is good value

    Agreed. O's added some big bats to go along with a renewed confidence. They won't be getting good odds for long, but I'm gonna ride em til they lose.

    I'm not sure what basis you have to suggest Porcello will get hit hard, so I'll just assume you don't have one.

    I'm rolling with the orioles tomorrow.
    you know, baltimore is stoked about the orioles under showalter,
    and opening day at camden yards is no joke. kids skip school, people call into work,
    banks close, you know what I mean.

    Shocked linemakers adjusted this line already. Was expecting BAL to be a dog again.

    Baltimore for sure. Porcello will get hammered and just like the thread, i keep playing Balt. until the odds catch up. They were money late last year at +160 and then some. Good team under Showalter

    I'm on the Orioles ML, I don't like being on the -1.5 RL with home teams -- they only have eight innings to score runs.

    Very smaII sampIe size with onIy 37 ab's against PorceIIo but they have a .351 ba

    Iast year BaItimore BA was .429 vs. PorceIIo. His day/away spIts about a 5.00 era and he started off sIow with a 8.03 era in ApriI and teams hit .380 off of him.


    Detroit hit .217 in 23 AB vs Arrieta Iast year.

    That DET vs Arrieta sample is worthless. Detroit couldn't hit Phil Hughes last year, and look what happened yesterday...

    I don't think we're going to find value in the O's for much longer. They were hot to end last season and hot to begin this one - the oddsmakers are all over it.

    Looks like Pinnacle is begging you to take Detroit at +118.

    line movement in baseball isn't the same as line movement in football or basketball. baseball is a game that any team can win on any day. it just takes a very good outing by a sub par pitcher and the underdog will win it. Or a very bad day from the better pitcher will also produce conflicting results. Baseball is just a difficult sport to bet on, much like hockey. I personally think football is the easiest sport to pick winners, but that's just me.

    Exactly. Benoit and Valverde are a nearly unhittable combination.

    If the Tigers get the lead, they should be able to keep it.

    Baltimore is 8-2 in last 10 home openers. That means they have played well in the opener with crappy teams over the last 10 years. I'm on the Orioles today.

    lakerboy..great advise..ill be honest, im on DET for several reasons, but BALTY is definitely a team to always look out for specially being undervalued...

    Imma PM you to ask several questions and advise...but great post...i have them as one of those teams in my radar to look at on the road...at home as faves, not so much...

    take care,

    Jorge

    If Arretta can find the strikezone they will be ok....anyone know who the home plate umpire is and how his strikezone has been in the past?

    If Tillman didn't get the high strikes on Saturday night the O's woulda been in trouble.

    Ok. First of all, regardless of weather or not you think that the tigers are going to be good or not aside, anyone that says that they are "crappy" and not one of the top 15 teams in the majors is a f***ing retard. And the orioles have a chance this year? AT WHAT 3rd PLACE IN THE EAST? RETARDDDDDS!

    Arrettia through 3... 28 strikes 23 balls...
    not a good ratio even though the game is tied 1-1 into the bottom of the 3rd
