Default MLB 4/12 - A lot to discuss

I really wanted to bet the A's heavily this year, but apparently the sports books are on the ball already. Thoughts on Oakland (Haren) -145 vs Toronto (Towers)? I'm not certain there is value in this game (most definitely no value on the Toronto side of things at +125). I was hoping for a line closer to -135, hopefully the public will bet the Jays for some reason so the line moves. Right now I'm leaning towards staying away from this one.

I like Baltimore (Cabrera) -105 at Tampa Bay (Kazmir) due to the ridiculous lineup discrepancy and Kazmir's unpolished makeup. I know, I know, Kazmir has all kinds of upside, but will the kid be able to handle Mora, Tejada, Sosa, Lopez, and friends? Baltimore should crush lefties, right?

Anyone taking Chicago (Prior) -105 vs San Diego (Peavy)? I have plans to stay away due to blatantly obvious reasons, but I can be convinced otherwise.

To be honest, I don't see much value in tomorrow's games other than betting Baltimore, and even that game is questionable. The money line for the Angels (Lackey) is currently even at Texas (Young) which could have some value. What is everyone else thinking?

I am not saying that +135 is a good bet, but you should definitely not be betting at shops that offer high prices on favorites and a twenty cents line.

You mean -135 I'm assuming.

I need to be referred to more sports betting sites. Is there a list of the best 4 or 5 so I can shop around?

You can try:

www.sportsbookreferrals.com
www.howtogamble.net
www.sportsbookreview.com

Also, I meant +135. If the line is -145, you should be able to find +135 at the same book.

I looked at that As game and didn't see much value on sides, I may be on the under tomorrow. If I had to pick a side I'd go with Oakland, but -140 is too much.

I took grabbed San Diego at +101 but it is close to a coinflip, I'll take the better pitcher. Like Arizona and Florida, let me know what you think of them.

I don't like the looks of the Oakland line. To be honest, nothing stands out to me today. I'd take Baltimore at even odds, but they're -109 now.

Actually, I'm going with the Cubs at +102. Oakland line is getting better too at -137, but it's still not good enough for me.
