MLB 4/10

[Thythe]

The lines aren't fully posted at Intertops (where I bet), but I'm already thinking I like the White Sox over the Yankees again (Buehrle pitching) and I like Tampa Bay again. I don't see the over/under posted at Intertops yet but I'm certain to bet Min v Det over and probably the CWS v NYY over also. Hopefully I'll get up in time to make these bets

By the way, what time do you think they close betting for each game? Some of these games are early...

[mrbaseball]

Betting generally goes until the first pitch.

Yeah White Sox another steal in todays line. Buehrle top notch and Yankees way overhyped with some no name (De Paula) who has about 13 innings total major league experience. This line is sooooo whacked with Chicago at +155 [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Should probably be the other way around. Yankees big bats just aren't in tune yet. They will be scary once they start firing on all cylinders but until then they are a very easy fade. Besides it's not like Chicago has a weak offense as they are strong top to bottom. That lineup aginst this AAA guy has a lot better shot than the big Yankee names against a proven major league winner.

Here's one for the streak players. SF +125 over SD.

When Ruetter starts vs SD, SF is 14-2 with last 11 being wins. When Lawrence starts for SD vs SF, SD is 0-6.

I guess you could say turnaround is due but I'll just ride it myself [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

i like giants here too; hard to know what streaks mean into another season in todays quick change of rosters, but i like it...

to me bb is a g of streaks; among other things..teams ans pitchers do get "hot"; or "in the groove", and hey...do not fight the tape...gl

I weigh "current form" of teams and pitchers and lineups as strongly as anything. It's hard to get a feel and read on that in early season so at this point I use a more historical approach. But going with the hot hand and pitchers and teams that are performing well is key as far as I'm concerned.

On Intertops--
White Sox +145 (Yankee pitching will be the problem this year)
Indians +100 (bet on Sabathia)
Marlins -107 (Phillies aren't hitting)

[Thythe]

I'm not so sure what people are thinking, but I got over 9 for Min v Det at nice odds. I forget what the actual line was, but $20 returns $44. Minnesota has hit the over every game this season and today should be no exception.

Final Picks:
CWS v NYY over 10
Min v Det over 9
Cle v Kan over 9.5
CWS v NYY CWS +1.5

I wanted to bet some more of the underdogs, but the spread lines aren't returning very well at this point so I'm going with some over bets instead.
