    2017 bases

    Let's see how often I can keep up with this but I'll try as the season moves on. I'll post my top plays, both sides and totals, when time allows. Good luck to anyone who tails when I post a play. Plays will be 1, 1.5, and 2 units based on calculated advantage. Spring training games are 1/2 unit plays for the most part. I haven't been active on the forum since 2009 but am hoping I can dive back in.

    3/6 - Chicago Cubs -116, .5 units
    3/6 - Miami Marlins +100, .5 units

    Good luck this year. I'm tempted to bet spring training because it helps with the boredom while at work, but it's such a crapshoot.

    Totally agree. I rarely take favorites in ST unless everything is lined up for a big win like I felt with the Cubs yesterday. With it being a crap shoot, people overvalue SPs and home advantages giving some decent value on the dogs occasionally.

    3/7 Adding Rockies +120

    Record before 3/7: 1-2 -.57units

    Bad break on cardinals yesterday. Had the game in the bag, 2 back to back brutal infield errors with 2 out in the 9th allowed the tie. Then for some reason they played extra innings and lost. Thems the breaks.

    Phillies is the underdog that stood out to me today too. Good luck...

    Bad beats like this happen in baseball and it drives me nuts. The blown save is the gambler's nemesis for sure...

    Updated Record: 3-2 +.65 Units

    Thursday action:
    Yankees -103, 1/2 unit
    Marlins +120, 1/2 unit
    Angels +115, 1/2 unit
    Reds +105, 1/2 unit
    Brewers -110, 1/2 unit

    Big card tomorrow. I don't believe much in home field advantage in spring training and it seems to still get 17-20 points. Sticking with the plus money for the most part unless a matchup looks fantastic and is under -115.

    Got wind of coaches planned usage in the Chc/SEA game.

    Hate laying this high in ST but adding
    CHC -151, .625 units.

    Record 6-4-1, +1.05 units (betting half units in ST)

    3-12-17
    Cleveland Indians -120, 1 unit
    Kluber expected to go 4 or to pitch count
    Padres throwing Weaver who is struggling to hit 81 on the gun followed by tyrell Jenkins and Christian Friedrich. Lineups aren't out yet but Indians started and played a B lineup yesterday so I'm looking for some starters today.

    Oakland +100 1 unit
    As are red hot. Shows desclafini starting for the reds which is unlikely or will be an inning or two max due to his shoulder discomfort. Lineups are expected starter heavy As and a mix with reds.

    Jays haven't figured it out. Sox should start most of their non-WBC starters tomorrow. I'll take that at plus money.

    Nice starting lineup. Nolasco has been looking good...who knows how long it'll last. They're also hot and have looked like they care all spring training.
