It's seems that most legitimate posters are around even for the season. Nobody is really breaking out. But that's fine, until we get our sea legs about us.

Rick and Badfinger I have been struggling the last few days but things will pick up. I just need to get hot again and I will pick get back these units.
Indians-men on 3rd and 1st two outs in the top of the eigth, cant cash anyone, lose the RL
Diamondbacks-getting crushed by the Cardinals. I hate the Cardinals.
I really need Tampa to have a big 7th or 8th inning. Colorado came through today, just couldnt resist that number.
adding
New York-1.5 +122..the Padres party ends tonight, they have been playing way over their head and hopefully the Mets will wake up and crush them. Taking a bit of a risk here but I have been eyeing this game and cant resist fading the weak Padres and Correia.

Thursday April 16 plays
Florida+121...Florida can beat anyone right now, I love their lineup and fading Atlanta's shaky looking, weak bullpen. Florida is hot right now and I see no reason why they shouldnt continue. How could you not take the +21 money here? Looks like Chipper Jones is out as well which can only help.
Houston+116....I hate making plays based on past seasons stats but Russ Ortiz is 8-1 lifetime vs the Pirates and that, coupled with what I feel will be a rusty Karstens and the Stros bats seem to be waking up, I find good value in this line. Pirates have been surprising so far and I hate fading them but I think Houston is good value today.
Chicago Cubs-1.5 +191...Cubs have had good success in the past at home vs the Cardinals 5-2 in the last 7, but what I really like here is lefty Sean Marshall and his success against St. Louis, Cubs have won 4 out of his last 5 starts against St. Louis. St. Louis coming off a long trip to Arizona, Cubs coming off a loss at home to Colorado, like the Cubs in this spot and at almost 2 to 1 its got good value.
Cleveland+192....whisky tango foxtrot? This number is just too big to resist, I know CC is a good solid pitcher but I think Cliff Lee is good enough to keep the Indians in this one and Ill take a stab at this number. Yanks will get alot of money due to home opener, Yanks mystique, etc, but I like the Indians lineup here against the big lefty.
Good luck to everyone today.

It seems we are experiencing the same results thus far for the season, about even. I have noticed that alot of legitimate posters, like yourself, are in that same boat. I find that intriguing. Your thoughts.

Sir I am a value bettor who uses a shotgun approach and usually ends up profitable by the end of the year. I have a tried and true dog system that works well over the course of the season. I may go on 2 week long streaks where I am down units but I only need 2 or 3 good days to recover any losses, and usually I end up 40-50 units with a slow and steady approach. I use a certain set of tactics based on betting dogs with good starting pitchers starting pitchers, I like to fade losing streaks at home and ride them on the road. If a number has value I will take it, I dont care if its a RL at +350, but that value has to come within certain set perimeters.
Good luck to you as the season goes on.

Well the Braves shit the bed and my under call on the Tribe and Yanks couldnt have been any more wrong (Yanks new park is clearly designed to bring back the days of Babe Ruth and regular 50 HR seasons).....hoping the late RL's make a good showing, been running a few more numbers and I like Greinke at plus money tonight

I have a feeling its going to be one of "those days", so I think I am a pretty good fade this weekend. Running a little cold right now, would be nice to go atleast 3-1 this evening, but the Twinkies are already down by 2.
Hopefully atleast two of these games turn out positive.
