Re: MLB 4/8 and beyond
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] It appears there is a LOT of money to be made betting the Oakland Athletics. If you don't see why, subscribe to baseballprospectus.com and do some serious research. Oakland (Blanton) -115 at Tampa Bay (Bell) If the lines continue to be this ridiculous, I'll be betting the A's every game. I can't wait to see how wrong Sunday's line will be for Harden's season debut. And no, I'm not simply looking results from the first 3 games. When Crosby returns, this team will be better than they were last year. Right now they're just damn good. Good luck. [/ QUOTE ] I'm not sure where you read on BP that they'd be better this year than last. The general feeling over there seems to be that they'll win ~90 games and are slight favorites to win the division. Nevertheless, that's about 10% more wins than the public expects, so there is certainly some value in betting them. I bet them yesterday and will follow up again today at -102. I like Colorado too, because of Francis. Though that offense is usually pitiful away from Coors. [/ QUOTE ] No where on BP does it specifically say they're better than last year, you're right. That was more the opinion of all of us in the bay area who have a stronger grasp of the talent levels in that lineup than the mass public. Plus, the mass public roots against the A's, there's a definite bias. This team should score more runs and allow roughly the same number of runs as last year. I'm free to discuss this topic if anyone is interested.

You can get Oakland at -102 on pinnacle [/ QUOTE ] WOW, really? I don't have an account with them yet, but it's obvious I need one if I'm going to be serious about betting sports. -102 is absolutely retarded. I have enough units on the game at -115, I've reached my limit for the day. Thanks for the tip.

Re: MLB 4/8 and beyond
Did they move Coors Field to San Francisco when I wasn't looking or is there some other explanation for that eight spot Colorado hung on the Giants? Not that I mind of course since they're my last hope for the day.
