    Time to finally start an MLB thread

    I'm starting a baseball thread since I'm tearing up baseball lately over at Aliante Casino in North Las Vegas. I turned 21 on April 3rd and lately have just been on a tear, and I only bet 25 dollars per game. I started with 400 dollars a couple weeks ago and turned it into 1350. Today again I went 5-1. Deciding to track my plays here since I love this website and have been following online for a couple years. I usually bet offshore even though I lived in Vegas since I wasn't 21 but wow the sportsbook atmosphere is amazing and I have met some great people so far. Nothing like watching baseball and drinking free beer all day, especially with some small action.

    I usually bet moneylines, nothing over -150. I never really bet runlines because a winning bet in my mind is a winner. Sometimes I really like a runline but I never bet a runline for a home team no matter how much I like it. I love value in baseball betting and I feel like to many people pound things that have no value.

    I usually play 6 games a day, sometimes less depending on the card. I love to hop on teams when they are streaking, lately the Rockies, Yankees, Red Sox and the Padres about a week ago before this 2 game losing streak.

    Sunday April 21st plays

    Washington Nationals -145 (25 to win 17.25)

    Jordan Zimmerman vs Dillon Gee is a huge mismatch. The Mets got really lucky to even be in the game yesterday. Gee has struggled and the Nationals have had the Mets number. I think the Mets are fade material anytime Harvey and Niese aren't pitching. Bryce Harper has killed the Mets lately and that line-up is great. Mets should struggle against Zimmerman.

    Pittsburgh Pirates +160 (25 to win 40)

    This game has tons of value. Pirates have won the first two of the series and it seems that their pitching has really come together, especially their bullpen. I think Sanchez will be able to take away the lefties for the Braves could see this being low scoring. Any low scoring game I feel favors a team that is +160. Liking the way the Pirates are playing this series, they finish the sweep.

    Milwaukee -150 (25 o win 16.65)

    Peralta should shut down the Cubs. This series has looked really easy for Milwaukee and they have owned thee Cubs as of late. I know the juice is pretty big so many people will probably take the runline. I just don't favor doing that for home teams, but I do see a 7-1 type game. Feldman should get rocked early and often. If I bet more money this is a game I would pound.

    San Diego Padres +135 (25 to win 33.75)

    I love the value with Stults pitching. Zito always has the potential to get rocked and anyone who lays juice with him is crazy. This game is gonna be a 5-3 type game. I see TONS of value in the Padres right here. They aren't a good team but they have bats that make them capable of beating pitchers like Zito.

    New York Yankees +125 (25 to win 31.25)

    It amazes me that Toronto continues to be favored in this series and I will continue to benefit from it. Nova is going to shut down the over-hyped offense of Toronto. The Yankees have been tearing the ball in Toronto and as of late. Love the way they are playing and +125 is a joke.

    Baltimore Orioles -105 (25 to win 23.80)

    Love Arrieta in this spot. LA Dodgers offense is horrible right now and doesn't scare me one bit. I think Billingsly will get beat pretty badly Baltimore's lefties are too strong for him. I like this game a lot.

    6 games, 25 risked in each.

    Think I could go 6-0 pretty easily tomorrow. Hope everyone has a great Sunday.

    Braves only have 1 lefty in the line up when their facing a left handed pitcher and thats hey ward so I'm not sure your angle for that game makes any sense... not to mention sanchez has been getting rocked so far this year.... i think the braves take that game with medlen on the mound
