    Yes, Oakland was the favorite and yes, the A's own the White Sox.

    Upcoming schedules, the entire series pitching matchups, pitchers last three starts, teams upcoming schedules, umpires (if you don't bet overnights) bullpen's era/whip, teams offensive stats the last few days. There's alot more, but those are the major ones.

    Going to grind out the first few weeks. To see how the teams come out of the gate. I dont usually hammer games in the first few weeks. It all depends on what you find in the matchups early. So its hard to say right now.

    I already know I am going to be a sucker for the yankees! I see them
    winning 98-104 games this year. With you guys never betting under
    -135, does that mean you never ever play the yankees?

    Pretty much. But I wouldnt never say ever. Would need a good price, and a good matchup in my favor.

    The Yankees are always huge favorites and lose money just about every year.

    i can think of a few other teams off the top of my head ILL. but, thats a perty good list to start with.

    teams like ATL, Mets, and Boston will be good to fade thru the first 80-90 games. the yankees might be a good fade thru the first 100 games.

    Yeah, but if they treat me like they did last season. They will be blacklisted again. Didnt matter what side of the game I was on with the Nats, it always seemed to go wrong.

    It might not help, but I live 3 miles from Dodger
    Stadium, I think I know that team pretty well..
    I'll try to figure out the Dodgers..

    I bet the yankees last year, I lost at the track and came home and
    bet the yankees cause I needed a fix, they won 19-4 or 22-4 something
    like that.,

    Dodgers always start out good early in the season. Expecting barely above
    .500 maybe 90 wins at most. I think.

    The only thing the Dodgers are good for is unders. Especially in Dodger Stadium.

    Thinking about every Dodger game I have been to, I would say
    most of them went under. Whats O/U usually in baseball 9?

    Would 5 dimes be a better baseball book for strictly overnight lines? Is there any book out there that matches there nickel lines?

    Good thread, just found it. Baseball is my passion and I'm looking forward to this betting season with great anticipation.

    img, this trend has been a moneymaker for me for years. Bet against a starting pitcher returning from the disabled list, pitching his SECOND game back from injury. The second game seems key. Generally, the first game back they have a "short leash" and don't pitch deep into the game and their adrenalin is pumping...they may do decent. But hammer against them on that second game back from the DL.
