    MLB "Opener" Alerts

    Thursday, 6/20: Seattle is listing LeBlanc as starter, but good chance they will use opener. You may want to bet ACTION if you bet Money Line on either team and you may want to wait as long as possible to bet totals, run lines and props.

    Thursday, 6/20: LeBlanc no longer listed and game now off the board, so only those that bet very early will be affected.

    90% of the time Tampa's success is because of Stanek. He may become first pitcher ever to secure multi-million contract as primary opener.

    They have one other one (his name slipping my mind), that was a big part of it, lately he been getting stretched out and going way deeper tho.

    Still, I thought it would be good idea to start this running thread to keep guys informed so they can strategize wagers when openers are expected but not named.

    Although Stanek did open for Yarbrough other day, but when latter starts, it is legit. So usually Stanek-Beeks is 5th "man" with Rays now using 4 starters for first time in like 2 years.

    Correct. I believe Hunter Wood was the other reliever Tampa used as an opener.

    If your opener and closer give you 3 easy outs then your starter and bullpen only needs 6 or 7 innings to finish the job.

    Friday, 6/21: Tampa Bay Stanek-Beeks

    Rays are mostly straightforward though so will probably list Stanek on overnight eventually, so this one is more of an FYI on second pitcher.

    Bizarre, since Ferguson pitched yesterday, and he sucks.

    Not sure why Dodgers would advertise which reliever will be coming in. But Roberts is a dumb so who knows.

    Why do other teams announce "bulk" pitcher that follows opener? That allows opponent to set up lineup against handedness of second pitcher.

    So in short. I don't know.

    Also, Urias is more of quasi-opener as he could go 3 and maybe even 4 innings if needed. So there's a chance LA could abandon Ferguson as Urias-Fergy plan was divulged before last night's game. No matter what though, look for normal pen starting in fifth inning.

    Saturday, 6/22: Seattle is listing Milone and line is up, but they will probably use opener so try betting Action if you bet ML and hold off as long as possible on totals, RLs and props.

    Not really, they are the most consistent and transparent because the always announce it the night before. it is teams that announce a few hours before gametime (hello Seattle) that are a pain in the ass.

    Saturday, 6/21

    Toronto: Law-Gaviglio

    Angels name Pena but don't believe it until it happens.

    So to summarize, be on look-out for last-minute openers for Angels (Pena) and Seattle (Milone)
