Here we go again... thanks again for picking it up and starting the thread yesterday Phan.... it was a great day yesterday as scoreless 1st innings were 12-3 on the day, hopefully today will follow suit as it is a lot of 2 starters in the staffs going....
Here are the numbers for the 5 day games, i will post the numbers for the night games in the afternoon, again for new lurkers, the set-up is pitchers name-1st innings pitched/Runs allowed.... the first set after the name is career and the second set is 2008 season, all these guys have one start on the year so far:
Phi/Cinn
Hamels 51/26 1/0
Arroyo 159/88 1/1
---- these numbers are fairly solid, the only real concern is arroyo gave up a run in the first in his first effort this year, so to start the day not something that looks like a near lock, but nonetheless a fairly solid chance of a scoreless first
Cubs/Pitt
Lilly 195/97 1/1
Gorzelanny 44/19 1/1
----- this one is troublesome because although the career numbers arent too bad, they both got touched up in the first in their first outing this year, if i remember correctly lilly got smashed on his first pitch of the game for a leadoff homer, but then got three consecutive easy outs... another one, that is tough to pull the trigger on, but as far as matchups we've seen a lot worse this year
Sea/Balt
Silva 125/64 1/0
Cabrera 116/73 1/1
----- this series has been great for this bet, i think i have cashed twice in this series alone on scoreless firsts Silva looks extremely solid to get out of the first without a run, the major concern here is Cabrera, so another one that has it's concerns
SD/SF
Maddux 707/358 1/1
Cain 70/33 1/0
----- this game seems pretty solid, Cain is generally lights out early in the game, question is how much gas does maddux have left in the tank, and he did give up a run in his opener, the other thing about this one is i expect the juice to be pretty high in the -140 to -150 range
Minn/Wsox
Blackburn ---- 1/0
Vazquez 320/162 1/0
----- this one seems really solid, no career numbers for Blackburn because he is a reliever turned starter this year, but he had a scoreless first inning in his first start... always scary to take this one with teams like the whitesox and their potent lineup, but based on the pitching numbers, seems solid enough to take
there are the first 5 games of the day that lead up to the night games.... nothing that really sticks out like a great bet, hopefully the night match-ups will make up for it.....
Here's to another profitable day with this bet, haven't tallied it yet, but i am pretty sure close to 70% of all games have had a scoreless first inning on the young season....
Let's cash again today guys!!
