Will keep everything in this thread. I had great success betting baseball last year and plan to continue this year.

Already hit Pirates at +160 today, but was not posted.

Some early thoughts on tomorrow's games:

I think there will be value going against Philly this year. Now obviously, they are most likely going to win 90+ so you have to pick your spots. But with the huge plus money on the other side - there will be opportunities. I don't think the Astros are good nor I am the biggest fan of Wandy Rodriguez, but at +225, this will be definitely be considered for a small play.

I like the Braves, but not at -160. I generally do not go over -140 on favorites.

Mets definitely have value with Niese on the mound at +137.

I also am interested in the Brewers and Shawn Marcum at plus money.

Picks will come tomorrow. Hopefully Seattle can hold on for a nice 3-0 day.

Just had a chance to get on the computer so this one just started and I will not count it in my record, but I played under 5.5 Yankees first half.

OK 4/3 picks

3 units Blue Jays -129. LOCKED

I will be taking the Blue Jays and Brett Cecil to complete the sweep on the Twins. There are several things I like in this game. One, the blue jays are simply the better team right now. Brett Cecil is on the verge of being a very good pitcher and has had very good success against the Twins stars, Mauer and Morneau. They have not gotten on track anyway. Also, twins pitcher, Nick Blackburn, had a good 2nd half, but the Toronto lineup is pretty potent and should be able to give Cecil enough support.

2 Units Mets +116 LOCKED

Rolling with the Mets in this spot. RA Dickey was great last year. Was he a fluke? I say no. There are reasons he is older and only now had a breakout season. He changed his style and some of his pitches. I think he is here to stay. The Mets come into this season with many questions and lots of drama. But they do have talent when healthy. And I think they are undervalued here and in general. The Marlins are a solid squad and have Javy Vazquez on the mound returning to the NL after a disastrous 1 year stint with the Yankees. Many expect Vazquez to simply go back to being pretty good. But why? He has a lost a lot of his velocity on the fastball, and that doesn't magically come back.

Adding ...

2 units Orioles -105 LOCKED

[jscol]

2-1 today. Jays came close to pulling it out. But lost 3.9 units on that and won 2 units each on the other 2. So only .1 unit increase to the bankroll.

But the picks are flowing.

Current record 5-1 +6.1 Units.

Picks look solid, keep em coming

[jscol]

Thanks, they'll stay strong. Liking dodgers tonight.

3 Units Dodgers -142 vs Giants LOCKED

Love the pitching matchup here. Hiroki Kuroda is annually underrated and constantly gets the job done. Barry Zito still has some ability, but I think the Dodgers can hit him well. Look for Marcus Thames to have a big night as he mashes against lefties like Zito.

I also put in a little prop on Thames most total bases vs Belt. But will not be tracking props.

[jscol]

Picked up another 3 units on Sunday night baseball now 6-1 + 9.1 Units. Boom.
