    Best Bets 3/10

    Who do you guys like for today?

    I will track everybodies plays, so please make sure you post a line.

    Also, I don't mind if you post parlays, teasers, or round robins, but these plays will not be reflected in the standings.

    IMG, i like it. I watched some Cuba and the guys play really hard every inning and don't give up. Eventough Cuba has no Major League players because of the political situation of the contry, their own league is in very good level. Monster hitters, solid pitching... Puerto Rico is starting Kiko Calero who is not used to starting games. He is in reliever role in Athletics. There is value in odds imo. Careful estimation 55% for Cuba.

    Definitely like taking that 10½ for S.Africa today. And I like the Pirates (+106) over the Twins.

    Kiko Calero is going to get bombed.

    Yep. Cuba opened around -115 favorite at Pinnacle, but has gone up and down due to public action. Seems to be the public is not giving enough credit to Cuba and are looking the Major League names in Puerto League lineup. Bottom line, Both teams have qualified and I'm sure Cuba wants this more. They want to show the whole world what they are capable of doing. Also, Puerto Rico has already used their best pitchers and Calero might strugle against potent hitting lineup of Cuba. Definately worth a play...

    Geez, Louise! USA might score 20 before we get to the 5th inning! They're tattooing this Carl Michaels kid pitching for the So.Africans.

    i think i learned my lesson being greedy and betting these games so much. Panama got killed...and now the US is killing them. I should've checked the wind...it's blowing out like crazy

    I have been hearing from numerous sources that Ken Griffey Jr is going
    to have a huge year this year. I saw his HR today and his swing is looked
    really nice. I always
    thought he had a beautiful swing.

    I can't get interested in this WBC. I try but find it boring.
