    The Yankees are getting 84%. They are only -114. The New York money gets a cheap lay on opening day against the paltry Rays

    Selection - Rays 1 unit

    Selection

    The Contrarian selection will be a Contrarian Double Dog Play (CDDP). One winner will put us in positive units for the day.

    Pirates +138 (1 unit)
    White Sox +110 (1 unit)

    As further clarification, underdogs are always unit bet, favorites are always unit to win.

    My White Sox got postponed. This weather has a lot of effing nerve getting in the way of my GAMBOLING.

    Yesterday's resulted in an O'fer day with the demoralizing loss by the Rangers giving up 5 runs in the top of the ninth. The second time in this series where the Rangers spit the bit in the ninth.
