April MLB Picks

[Alexgurv]

147-117 +20.99 units for 2011.

New season in the MLB. Should be fun and GL

Marlins -168 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

Going juicy right off the bat for the season. With the new stadium, the new players , this should be a good night for the Marlins. Not too worried about Johnson, as his season was also cut short last year and he killed it in April 2011 coming right back. I'm not really expecting much from the Cards this year...

[Alexgurv]

2012 MLB 0-1 -1.68 units

Blue Jays -118 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

Coming off one of the best spring trainings possible. I see it carrying it on into the season and this being one of the best team in the Majors.

Pirates +155 to bet 1 unit @ 5dimes

Pirates tend to always start the season pretty well. While I think that the Phillies overall are a better team then the Pirates (by a lot). I really struggle to see where this team is gonna get most of its offense. Hopefully Bedard can start strong and we are looking at a Pirates 3-1 win

[Alexgurv]

2-3 -1.68 units (40.00%)

Cardinals +108 to bet 1 unit @ 5dimes

Wainwright coming off a year off due to injury so this is a little bit risky. But the Cards have played really well so far and Grienke tends to start slow. Will take my chances at + money.

Blue Jays -112 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

I've already said I think the Blue Jays are one of the best teams in the league but this is mostly a play against Ubaldo...

[Dom177]

Really like both those picks but I feel more confident with Blue Jays...Ubaldo had a terrible spring and hasnt been on track since he left the Rockies

[Alexgurv]

3-4 -1.68 units (42.85%)

Pirates +114 to bet 1 unit @ 5dimes

The Pirates offense is no kind of juggernaut, but the fact that the Phillies really look about the same to me says this is worth a shot. Mcdonald can be up and down and you really have no idea what you are getting from him. Oh..I'm also going to the game

Rangers -178 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

Juicy odds, but Sunday Night Baseball at home is always a good bet to make IMO

[Jeffie]

Nice job picking pirates, hope the game was a blast.

[Child's Play]

Nice job picking pirates, hope the game was a blast.

I think he's going tomorrow ?

[Alexgurv]

lol yeah im going today , hope they win today though!

[Alexgurv]

5-4 +0.46 units (55.55%)

Royals -101 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

Seems like pretty good odds for a team that has been playing pretty well offensively. Going up against a team that will struggle to score runs all year.

Marlins +139 to bet 1 unit @ 5dimes

Like the value you here. Having watched the Phillies all weekend I see there offensive struggles continuing. These look like 2 even teams to me, with this line I will bite.

[Alexgurv]

6-5 +0.83 units (54.54%)

Brewers -112 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

Mets -110 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

[Alexgurv]

7-6 +0.73 units (53.84%)

Reds -125 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

I see them avoiding the sweep

Indians -128 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

Masterson was lights out in his first start. The Bluejays ended up getting to the bullpen. Masterson 2-1 last year against the White Sox giving up just 4 runs.

[Alexgurv]

8-7 +0.45 units (53.33%)

Cubs +117 to bet 1 unit @ 5dimes

Marlins -112 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

[Alexgurv]

9-8 +0.50 (52.94%)

Yankees -145 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

Angel's pitching getting crushed of late and I am hoping that Kuroda can bounce back off a bad start for the Yankee's.

Astro's +183 to bet 1 unit @ 5dimes

I see this as a value play, the Marlins are not playing much better then the Stro's right now.

[Alexgurv]

11-10 +0.50 units (52.38%)

Pittsburgh +142 to bet 1 unit @ 5dimes

The pitching has been lights out, but so has the opposing pitching. Offense is non-existent. I'm hoping Vogelsong will ignite the offense a bit.

Yankees -172 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

Sunday night home tea.

[Alexgurv]

13-10 +2.92 units (56.52%)

Red Sox -115 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

Pirates +120 to bet 1 unit @ 5dimes

[Alexgurv]

13-12 +0.77 units (52%)

Indians -115 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

Looking for Masterson to bounce back after getting shelled last week by the White Sox. Also the Indians offense looks to be firing on all cylinders

Mets +103 to bet 1 unit @ 5dimes

Looks like a steal to me at these odds

[Alexgurv]

14-13 +0.77 units (51.85%)

Dodgers +165 to bet 1 unit @ 5dimes

Dodgers have been playing pretty well, while Grienke has always had rocky starts in April. Had a good start the first time but got crushed by the Cubs the second time. I expect him to have a pretty bad game today again.

Phillies -110 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

It's just rare that you are able to get Lee at this price. There's a better chance to me that the Phillies could get some hits off Cain then the Giants getting some off Lee.

[Alexgurv]

16-15 +1.13 units (51.61%)

Rangers -106 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

Angels -149 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

[Alexgurv]

damnit I guess I forgot to post my picks here yesterday...can see my picks at CTG for record purpose stuff...

[Alexgurv]

17-15 +2.13 units (53.12%)

D-backs +114 to bet 1 unit @ 5dimes

Home team coming off a shutout theory

Twins +182 to bet 1 unit @ 5dimes

This seems just a tad bit high to me, Pavano can keep the Twins in the game.

[Alexgurv]

17-17 +0.13 units (50%)

Pirates +122 to bet 1 unit @ 5dimes

Bedard has been pitching lights out in every game so far this year. With injurys to Jay, Schumaker and Berkman the inept Pirates offense might have a chance here

Red Sox +123 to bet 1 unit @ 5dimes

Sunday Night home team

[Alexgurv]

17-18 -.87 units (48.57%)

Dodgers -135 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

I expect the Dodgers to bounce back nicely after getting blown out by the Astro's yesterday...

Pirates -113 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

Jamie Moyer might just be the thing we need to get this offense going...27 runs all year? They are due for a breakout game.

[Alexgurv]

18-18 +0.13 units (50.00%)

Indians -131 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

When a team goes on a losing streak like this I like to continue betting on them till they finally lose

Mets +104 to bet 1 unit @ 5dimes

After last weeks disastrous start I expect Johan to come back strong tonight

[Alexgurv]

20-18 +2.17 units (52.63%)

Tigers -109 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

Even with Felix pitching for the Mariners, I like the Tigers to bounce back here after an embarrassing lose yesterday

Phillies -104 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

There offense is finally picking up a bit and mixed with there pitchign they should start turning this season around.

[Alexgurv]

Runnin late for work!

Indians -150 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

Blue Jays -114 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

[Alexgurv]

20-20 -0.47 units (50%)

Indians +126 to bet 1 unit @ 5dimes

Hoping that Masterson can bounce back after a few really bad starts...

Red Sox -112 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

At least I can say there offense is getting it going, that pitching though will have me sitting on the edge all night.

[Alexgurv]

22-20 +1.79 units (52.38%)

Cardinals -147 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

I expect what happened yesterday with the Cards offense to continue today,and even if it doesnt, Lohse has been pitching lights out this year against divisional opponents

Angels -132 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

Seems like good value on a team due to win...

[Alexgurv]

24-20 +3.79 units (54.54%)

Marlins -169 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

The odds are kind of high and I dont usually play something this high but its hard to ignore Johnson has been playing lights out and Arizona has been on a downward spiral since the Pirates series

Rangers -129 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

As always...Sunday night home team.

[Alexgurv]

runnin late to work again

Pirates +163 to bet 1 unit @ 5dimes

Dodgers +129 to bet 1 unit @ 5dimes
