    [3.31.08] ChuteBoxe's MLB Monday (+1.00 Units)

    One of the few plays you'll see me post in April. I normally only do 5-6 during the whole month. Guess I'm getting wrapped up in the opening day hype like everyone else. WTF though? Baseball is finally here! Oakland was good to me the other day, let's hope these two both are as well...

    You know the deal...1 MLB Unit = $1000

    Monday, March 31st, 2008. Opening Day 2008.

    Reds (-104) Risking 1.04 to win 1
    Yankees (-146) Risking 1.46 to win 1

    I like the Reds a lot. Opening day is a big deal in Cincy, and they're having a big festival tomorrow. Also, Dunn is nasty against Webb, and Griffey should break out of his slump against Webb tomorrow. Both starters ultimately have very good numbers against each other. Dusty Baker's first year as manager also, and he has a lot to prove to the Cincinnati fans, since the papers ripped on him for being too old. It will probably be a squeaker, but I see the Reds winning. The Yankees are more a homer play. I have been a Yankees fan since I was born. Wang DOES scare me tomorrow, being a sinker ball pitcher. Sinker ball pitchers get destroyed to leave the ball up in the zone, and struggle with their control early in the year. On the positive side though, they won 15 out of 16 opening days at Yankee Stadium, and it's the last year that they will open in the "House that Ruth Built". I have to think even if Wang falters, the bats and pen will more than make up for it.

    Probably not...going to look over the card and do some tracking on paper for a while. Might play a couple of games for small money since I didn't find much in the NBA for the first time in forever.

    Yeah, I agree 100%. Small card in the NBA, a lot of scary games, and no real value.

    Only game that I really like is Denver +6 but going to wait until Nuggets Courtside comes on to see how Iverson is shooting with his banged up finger before pulling the trigger.

    Damn, that sucks. The only game I really like is the same one. Just like the other side.

    Suns are coming off of a 4 game roadie...had 1 game off and now play 1 game at home before going back on the road to Denver on the 1st. Both teams have had a day off but Denver is coming off of a 2 game home stand. I won't be on either side if Iverson's finger looks to be bothering him.

    I was looking at Denver's past troubles traveling to Phoenix.

    Denver is 1-3 ATS @ Phoenix the past 4
    Denver is 0-4 SU @ Phoenix the past 4

    The last game in Phoenix Denver lost by 22, and the game before that, they lost by 17.

    Now I don't know which way to go. Were they that much better because Marion was on the team? Will Shaq get owned by Camby?

    Might be a homer play for me but last time in Phoenix the Suns went 20-31 from downtown and Marion had 27 points and 14 boards.

    Thanks, I was just about to look for Marion's #'s myself. You saved me the trouble. I just checked Shaq's last game against Denver and saw...

    6 pts, 8 rebs, 3 fouls, and 2 turnovers in 20 min of play, The game was in Denver, but how much better is he really going to be? Starting to think twice. If I take it, maybe I'll just go small.

    Yeah I won't be going too big on this game either...either a 1 or 1.25 unit play for me.

    I will be on the Nuggets depending on how Iverson looks on Nuggets Courtside. Chute will be on the Suns.
