    Regul8er's 2018 MLB Thread

    Had a very, very successful couple months to finish off the College Hoops season. Got a pretty decent roll to play with here for MLB.....usually this time of year I'm scrambling to get some money together for a deposit. But were in good shape this year.

    Love the grind of the season...and looking forward to first pitch a few minutes away. Going to try my best not to play favorites over -125.....it's inevitable that it will happen over the course of the season, but going to try my best to steer clear. 1 Unit will be to win $200.......going to try and keep all plays at 1 unit. All of my wagers will be on the listed pitcher, unless I state otherwise as an action pick.

    THURSDAY, March 29th, 2018

    1:10pm St. Louis Cardinals +123 (Martinez) @ NY Mets (Syndergaard) Risk $162.60 to Win $200
    4:05pm Oakland Athletics +110 (Graveman) vs LA Angels (Richards) Risk $181.82 to Win $200
    4:10pm San Diego Padres +107 (Richard) vs Milwaukee (Anderson) Risk $186.92 to Win $200
    4:10pm Atlanta Braves +110 (Teheran) vs Philadelphia (Nola) Risk $181.82 to Win $200
    10:10pm Colorado Rockies -103 (Gray) @ Arizona (Corbin) Risk $206.00 to Win $200


    Play Ball Folks.....Good luck this season. Play within your means!

    Thanks buddy......it's not that I love the Padres...but in my estimation, I have this game close to a coin flip, particularly because the Brew Crew regressed quite a bit vs southpaws last year. Just a lot of left handed bats in the mix, but the analysis goes out the window when the game starts.

    Goodluck to you this year as well!

    Yea I kinda forgot about that, my perception still that I like brew crew vs lefties. Either way it only one of a whole bunch today and moving forward, let the grind begin!! Lol

    Record thru 3/29: 2-3 (40.0%) -0.78 Units

    Going to start posting records and plays with units instead of dollars. 1 unit will continue to equal $200.

    I definately feel fortunate getting 2 wins yesterday, as they were both large comebacks, as Atlanta erased a 5 run deficit, and Oakland erased a 4 run deficit.....nice to get those! Little unfortunate Headley hit into a double play for San Diego in the bottom of 10, with bases loaded, 1 out. But I'm not going to complain.....was close to an 0-5 start.

    1:10pm Pittsburgh Pirates -109 (Nova) @ Detroit (Zimmermann) Risk 1.09 Units to Win 1.00 Unit
    7:05pm Toronto Blue Jays +136 (Sanchez) vs NY Yankees (Tanaka) Risk 0.74 Units to Win 1.00 Unit
    10:05pm Oakland Athletics -107 (Manaea) vs LA Angels (Skaggs) Risk 1.07 Units to Win 1.00 Unit


    Beat the crap out of the closer on the Pirate game......now will it result in a W?

    Pittsburgh has completely unravelled here in the 7th. Feliz gives up double, 4 pitch walk, double, single......then next batter Josh Bell kicks a routine ball for another run.

    Now need Toronto and Oakland to clean the day up for me.

    That might not be a bad play. I think Sanchez is extremely undervalued here, and want to catch him undervalued as much as I can early in the year. Seems like his blister problem is gone, and he was pretty studly in 2015 and 2016.

    Wish the Pirates didn't give up 4 flipping runs with their closer on the mound in the 9th...now gotta sweat this one out!

    Who else you on tonight? Goodluck!

    GREGORY POLANCO! I don't know even know what to think of this game. I thought I was gonna lose, I for sure thought I was gonna win, I thought the game was officially graded a loss......then Polanco flexes! Seems like capping bullpens is going to be more important this year than it's ever been before.

    Need every one of these I can get early in the season!

    Yea totally understand I just don't trust Jays offense one bit after them giving happ no support while he was actually pretty good thru 1st 5 for me yesterday, between how poor Jays offense has looked and their poor history against Tanaka and I'd assume roof be closed seeing it pretty cold which should help limit his biggest weakness which been gopher balls. So under seemed like best way to take advantage of Sanchez who I agree doesn't get enough respect.

    Besides that under im on San Fran +153. A nats/Cubs/Stros ml parlay. So far that all, thought there was a lot more value on yesterdays card, been pretty busy today so gonna see if I can find few more now that I'm home. Gl tonight

    Nice win on the under....I should have sided with you. I didnt necessarily think the Jays would win, I just thought there was a little value in the line. Hopefully the A's can win and give me a plus day.

    No kidding man.....if I knew Manaea would only give up 1 run in 7.2 innings, I might have gone 5 units, lol.
    But it's all good, new day!

    Record thru 3/30: 3-5 (37.5%) -1.58 Units


    Got all of my plays in very early this morning, and by the looks of it I got some beneficial lines with reduced juice.


    SATURDAY, March 31st, 2018

    1:10pm Detroit Tigers -118 (Fulmer) vs Pittsburgh (Williams) Risk 1.18 Units to Win 1.00 Unit
    4:10pm Cleveland Indians -102 (Carrasco) @ Seattle (Paxton) Risk 1.02 Units to Win 1.00 Unit
    7:10pm Philadelphia Phillies +110 (Velasquez) @ Atlanta (McCarthy) Risk 0.91 Units to Win 1.00 Unit

    Might have another one later, but for now, this is it.

    I couldnt be further from the mark right now. Beating the closer in almost every case, but it hasnt made much of a difference. Tomorrow is a new day...

    Ouch.......still couldn't stop the bleeding yesterday. Got an outstanding performance from Fulmer, but Detroit couldnt muster anything off Williams. And the Tribe blew a lead. Couldn't get off too much of a colder start here in 2018. But, only 4 days in the books out of about 180. Lotttt of time to turn the tide here......

    Today is going to be a heavy card for me:

    MONDAY, April 2nd, 2018

    1:05pm Minnesota Twins +113 (Lynn) @ Pittsburgh (Taillon) Risk 0.88 Units to Win 1 Unit
    1:10pm Kansas City Royals -104 (Hammel) @ Detroit (Liriano) Risk 1.04 Units to Win 1 Unit
    7:10pm New York Mets -112 (Harvey) vs Philadelphia (Lively) Risk 1.12 Units to Win 1 Unit
    9:40pm Arizona Diamondbacks +104 (Walker) vs LA Dodgers (Ryu) Risk 0.96 Units to Win 1 Unit
    10:05pm LA Angels +104 (Ramirez) vs Cleveland (Clevinger) Risk 0.96 Units to Win 1 Units

    I actually really like today's card. Had leans on a few others, but had to draw the line somewhere.

    Just sat down to see how things started, and Minnesota down 5-0 already? lolol
    Going to need a lot of runs from the Twinkies today. Pittsburgh's pen is taxed already, and I dont anticipate Taillon being able to keep the Twins at bay for too long. Maybe a run fest like we saw Friday between Pittsburgh and Detroit?

    I knew Minnesota would eventually get going here.....with a 4 run 6th.

    Now need there pen to hold the fort down, because I highly doubt the Bucs pen is getting 9 outs without getting touched up. Not to mention, Felipe threw in both games of a double dip yesterday, so he's undoubtedly unavailable today.

    I saw they hit into a DP in the 7th. Wasn't following at the time. Just saw they stranded 2 more in the 8th, ughhh.

    I'm staring an 0-2 start straight in the face. If today doesnt finish up well, might need to be an observer for a couple of weeks, and regroup. Always sucks digging an early hole, then it feels like your fighting forever to get back to even.

    Just don't have that mojo right now. I'll be honest, I wish College Hoops lasted a little bit longer, because I was on the run of my life. Sucks to change pace......and things just arent going my way.

    Desperately need a 3-0 night to turn out a small profit on the day.

    I'm in opposite boat, had one of my worse ncaa hoops seasons in my life (just couldn't string winning days together for shit!) baseball couldn't have come soon enough and have started really well!!

    Who you on in championship tonight? I'm on the under 145, lean Michigan +7

    Good congrats on a nice start. I actually am just going to watch tonight. I don't have a lean on the side or total. Was hoping Nova was bit shorter, and might have hit the ML if it were -250 or lower.....but just cant pull the trigger at over -300.
