every home dog today should be embarrassed

No idea

1st game

I might pass

Mike.... Toronto is going to be decent this year, really good pitcher on the hill today

DudleyDawson · 04-05-12, 08:26 AM

That Cubs line is a joke...that big of a dog at home against a guy who hasn't pitched a real game in the majors in over a year. Great value backing Toronto today..

DudleyDawson · 04-05-12, 08:26 AM

Can see Halladay losing too.

pittsburgh usually play the phillies tough.

yeah i agree, that line should probably be more in line with the other road favorites

go back in time 5-10 years and i'll tell you that the washington nationals will be -160 at the cubs on opening day, you'll laugh hysterically

fading SD 3x Martingale until one win = 1000.00

Strasburg started 5 games at the end of the year last year. And put up some pretty good numbers in those starts.

Laying all wood never works its why so many guys go bust in mlb
I think Mets and Clev are good plays today
If the line gets close to +140 ill probably take the Marlins to

laying chalk can work, hard to say something "never" works because everything works sometimes. unless you're talking about betting against the cubs to win the world series that always works

Early on no one knows anything about any team

Take the points and you won't get hurt

i know for a fact that the pirates, astros, and cubs won't win the nl central

Cubs have a slim chance simply because they have the money/ability to get some deadline power if they were in it and no one is good in the NL Central anyway.

They also got rid of 3 cancers (Zambrano/Fukudome/Ramirez)

I have no interest on betting on the Cubs to win the NL Central. But MLB isn't like the NBA. Bad teams can have really good months and some bad team will be a surprise this year. Just a question of who.

milwaukee mike · 04-05-12, 10:04 AM

you make a good point but i still think the cubs are going to be awful this year

It is a rebuilding year, I wouldn't be too disappointed. I want to see Brett Jackson and Jay Jackson up eventually.

vaas187 · 04-05-12, 10:08 AM

no....its the doc. philles -1.5

neverstoppers23 · 04-05-12, 10:09 AM

cubs offense is terrible, starsburgh should have no problem owning them.

PickWinnerAllDay · 04-05-12, 10:10 AM

I think a lot of cubs games will go under this year. Underrated pitching staff and the offense can't score.

just don't understand the comment, 'no one is good in the nl'
three teams reds cincy brewers all should be over 84 wins.
cincy is the popular pick, i guess because they picked up latos, but brewers will have the best pitching in the division with greinke-gallardo-marcum(if he is fully heatlhy), wolfe, and a great back end of the bullpen of k-rod and axford.

axford certainly has proven he is at least in contention for the best closer in the nl. without that first game of the season,without that first week of the sesaon where his mechnics were complete ****** he was perfect.

PickWinnerAllDay · 04-05-12, 10:17 AM

'should be over 84 wins'

That doesn't mean you're good... especially when you're playing the Pirates and Astros and potentially just as bad Cubs...

Look at the NL East and then look at the NL Central. I see a huge difference in talent across the board right now.

I am all over home underdogs today so I will have to disagree.

I took $50 to over 5k in 3 weeks a couple years ago betting mostly MLB favorites...it can be done.

to be a home underdog on opening day means that your season is hopeless.
today we have some of the worst

pitt +155
cubs +140
padres +140
cleve only +110 but come on it's against toronto

thinking of fading those first 3 dogs round robin style, anyone with me?

Don’t sleep on this team this year. They may surprise people this year!</SPAN>

so true these are hopeless

19th Hole · 04-05-12, 11:28 AM

If Avril backs your contention
then I agree 110%....
Opening Day Home Dogs are truly bad,
hopeless and usually hapless.

avril is still upset that the marlins she took were all style and no substance last night

but yes, as a fan of those teams the best you can hope for is something like a 72-90 season. i remember those days as a brewers fan for about 10-15 years it was pathetic
