With my first picking I'm going with the Pirates -1.5 +145 1Unit
I believe that the Pirates here have pretty good value. The Pirates struggled on offense their first time out which will change. Morton has pitched well vs the cubs in his past he's also coming off a strong grapefruit league starts posting a .82 era while going 4-0. The Cub batters have not fared well against Morton and the Cubs lead off hitter (bonifacio) has not done much against him going 2-9 with five strikeouts. Edwin Jackson on the other hand is allowing McCuthchen to bat 400 against him with 2 homers. After looking into the game I just like the Pirates seems like both pitchers are going in opposite directions with Jackson leading the league last year in Era. Yes Jackson has done okay for his standards I guess you can say going 2-2 with a 3.48era against them while Morton went 2-2 with a 2.67 era against the cubs last year.

Tampa Bay Rays -1.5 +135 2Units
The reason why I'm going with the Rays here is because I like how Moore has pitched vs Toronto. Moore is 3-0 vs Toronto with a 3.31 Era. Burhle on the other hand has been destroyed by the Rays allowing 6.67 era in his last three appearances against them. Burhle is all so allowing the team to bat .287 against him with Longoria batting .320, Lonley .333, Jennings .500, and Zobrist and Escobar batting .357 life time against him.

NY Mets vs Washington Nationals Under 1Unit -125
The Under here for me is a strong bet. The reason why I'm taking the under in this one is because of the success Gonzalez has had against the Mets and because the lack of experience the Nationals have had facing a rested Colon. Also the game previous went into extra innings and I see this game being a pitcher duel.
Win

Angels -1.5 +150 1Unit
Tonight I'm rolling with the Halo's. Hector Santiago has been strong against the Mariners batters. Cano is 0-5 against him lifetime. I believe that the Angels will be able to hit James Paxton. Paxton struggled coming out of spring ball while Santiago showed improvement striking out more people then innings he pitched. Even though the Angels have lost the last two they have had chances to win leaving 13 men in scoring position throughout the last two games.

Padres -112 1Unit
Dan Haren is washed up. Last year he was ruffed up and even this spring training he had horrible time going 0-1 with 6.00 Era. The bullpen on a side not has struggled also allowing 5.56 Era with also 11 walks in 11 innings. Tyson Ross has been playing well and he will dominate the Dodgers. The Padres will start early on Haren and get him out.
