MLB '14 Picks by Meditations

[Meditations]

Been betting baseball successfully since 2009. All of my bets for this season will be risking the amount required to win 1 unit for each particular line. For example, I will risk 1.5 units to win 1 unit for a -150, and I will risk 0.5 units to win 1 unit for a +200.


Picks for 4/3:
Rays -149 (C Archer)
Blow Jays vs Rays Over 7.5 -105 (Morrow vs Archer)
Tigers -150 (A Sanchez)

Wow look @ the line movement for Mariners - Angels game. I felt the value for Seattle was too marginal at -127 (opening) last night, but I like it now at -111. A little concerned about the line movement, but like I said before, laying off picks due only to line movement has hurt me (overall) in the past.


Adding:
Mariners -111 (Paxton vs Santiago)

[Meditations]

Went 4-3, +1.01 units

MLB '14 Overall: 29-12-1, +15.99 units

I really hope Paxton isn't seriously injured, I like him a lot and think it's exciting to see the Mariners get some W's for once.

This is starting to feel like a 2 week long monologue lol..

[WarxMagic]

If you build it, they will come.

[BigWangDangALang]

I assume because you post at weird times, you will not get the thread recognition that others get that post at "normal" hours. Been keeping an eye on this thread, great job so far.

Makes sense, I normally post pretty late (pacific time) since I like to get my picks in the night before - usually able to beat most closing prices this way. Just weird getting close to no responses or discussion going here.

[Meditations]

Anyway, went 4-3 today for a hilarious +0.03 units. Big LOL (what else can you do?) @ Tony Sanchez - he had his second error in just 4 games; it resulted in 2 un-earned runs and sent the Pirates and the +1.5 (-167) to Wreckville.

MLB '14 Overall: 50-28-2, +17.97 units


Picks for 4/14:
Oaktown +104 (Chavez vs Santiago)

I have started the following mini-thread regarding my question on whether the Reds-Pirates Over 7.5 will be counted by sportsbooks today (suspended after 6 innings with 7-7 tie game):

Solid thread so far, who do you like tomorrow?

Solid thread so far, who do you like tomorrow?

Thanks! Working on it as we speak. I should have tomorrow's picks posted by 1 am PST. I usually like to get them in the night before, as the prices/odds for my picks generally worsen as closing approaches.

[shaggydog88]

i usually put my bets in the night before too

really like strasburg and tanaka tomorrow. just put them in a parlay.

leaning..

Texas... seattles lineup vs's lefties just doesnt cut it for me. Ross Jr pitched two games well, shutting out boston for 5 innings. texas will either put up 1-2 runs or 6

dodgers..lincecum was my favorite pitcher for years and when theres a good hitting team he just doesnt have it anymore. love the dodgers lineup

pirates ML and +1.5 RL ....even though reds hit righties well i think Coles stuff will be in top form. pirates should be able to get enough runs off leake, who throws darts
