I've decided to start posting in the forum since I always read them and enjoyed the debates. I think it's beneficial to talk about which bets you're making as it can provide some insight you might not have seen prior.
Yesterday I went 4-0 to start the season with:
Rockies Over 3.5
Braun hits+runs+rbi's over 2.5
Tigers -1.5
Mariners +108
Being from Milwaukee I try not to be (too) biased, but it is where I know the players best. So with that being said my first pick is
*Rockies over 3.5 -120*
Colorado ripped Gallardo for 10 hits yesterday with some good hitting in a batters ballpark. The little dust they had on their bats should easily be shook off and Marco Estrada is going to feel that pain. He has low velocity on his pitches and tends to leave them over the plate, that is, if they don't end up in the dirt. All this happens before we even get to the Brewers horrendous bullpen. This is my safe pick of the day. It wouldn't be a bad idea to even take the over 8.5 on the entire game with De La Rosa on the mound and the Brewers explosive line-up.
Second pick for the day
A's -136
King Felix embarrassed them last night and those fans are ready for a win, I don't foresee it being a problem. A line-up full of hitters ready to hit including the real life Gandalf, lets see everyone bring back the free towels from yesterday.
The last pick I'm taking today is
Rays -1.5 +108
With one of the best pitchers in the league in David Price, they should have no problem winning by a couple runs in this one. Everyone is still getting into their groove batting wise, so we should see an easy victory for Tampa at home.
Also worth looking at in my opinion would be
Rangers -1.5 (Yu Darvish) -112
The Astros are coming off a fluke and they'll have their heads deflated with this game. I expect to see Yu come out strong this season and pitch great in this one. I can't see myself picking the Astros to win 2 games in a row either...
Feel free to comment and pass some ideas around
