what site(s) do over/under for individual team totals? i like texas to bounce back against wakefield tommorrow. i could see boston tearing up padilla too but then again, boston is the type of team that plays poorly in the second games of series (albeit i'm only thinking of a couple vivid cases).

 
congrats to those that did well yesterday

i was 0-1 with Tampa; just too busy to pay too much attention :bag:

I like the over in Texas/boston.

Green94 - you backing the chisox again today?

 
I went with 4 games

CWS -150 vs CLE

White Sox are 5-0 dating back to last season in Garcia's last 5 starts.

Westbrook is 0-5 in his last 5 vs CWS.

Not thrilled with the line though

ATL -135 vs LA

Braves are 7-0 in Smoltz's last 7 starts as a road favorite.

Dodgers are 1-4 in Pennys last 5 starts.

SF -135 vs SD

I like Morris way more than Estes.

Giants are 5-1 in their last 6 vs LHP

Tor -125 vs MIN

Halladay vs Santana

This is just b/c I'm a blue jay fan and have to bet on their big ace opening day :(

 
Boston Red Sox/Texas Rangers 4-April-2006 5:05 PM PST Total Points OVER 10.5 for Game -109 T. Wakefield must start V. Padilla must start

 
i know santana has starting semi-slow the past 2 years but as an underdog id bet on johan even if god was pitching for the other team

Weather seems to make a difference with certain latin players, warmer the better?EDIT: assume they will close the roof in Toronto?

I think it's supposed to snow up there so it's a good bet that it's closed.
 
4-2 so far +600. I want to take this game this afternoon just so I am not bored out of my mind at work, but I am just really not sure. I kind of like the Indians, but not enough to bet it I don't think. Anyone know the line?

If you are looking to take action on this game, I would suggest the Under.Westbrook vs Garcia should be at about an 8 O/U (imo).

The fact that it is at 9 represents value. (Then again it only represents value if you believe it should be at 8. And the fact that I posted this will most likely jinx my prediction.)

Nonetheless, I do think the Under here is a good call.

 
I'm playing on the White Sox/Tribe over 9 today.

Nice strong winds coming out of the West/NW blowing out to left center field. I like both teams to put up some runs today.

 
Good day yesterday.

Hit a 7 team parlay,5/300

Woulda been an 8 teamer but SF/SD pushed on my under bet

My brother missed a 10 gamer by one game and I missed a 12 teamer by one game. Not sure if this is coincidence or what but christ it was fun. Today I am going with another big parlay and I am going with:

Minn+115(Santana)

vs

Jays (Halladay)

Yanks +115(Mussina)

vs

A's (Harden)

Houston -200(Pettite)

vs

Marlins

Gonna bet these three heavily and then do a big parlay. Good Luck, and ride them YANKS.

Both starters are heavy groundball pitchers (especially Westbrook). That said, never stopped the Sox from scoring on him before. Once this gets to the pen, the fireworks should really take off.
 
I actually circled Under 9 for this afternoon tilt last night, so i'm either going to pass it or find some reasons why I liked the under last night after 5 Coors, 3 Bud Lights, a Guiness and the rest of some kind of Coconut Cream Pie that was just taking up too much space in my fridge. I didn't even use a plate. :bag:

Lackey -109 is my biggest play of the day, but it sucks that I have to wait around for it.

Other leans on games today that I haven't acted on:

Oak - Harden -113 (I don't care who he's facing, when a potential Cy Young kind of guy gets low chalk like that, I'm on it. Also like the Under 8 a bit here. Oakland is too good to get swept at home, even by the Yanks. They're due a win.

Santana +112 - I'll probably pair this up with the Under 7 for a 1 unit parlay.

Over 10.5 Tex/Bos

Estes +114. Had a great camp. :bag:

Wow, ever since I posted that I think the Under is a good play here - people have been jumping all over the Over.Green94, AngryBeavers, RedRaiders, Culdeus - all in on the Over.

I am in on the Under.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

So you liked the Under, then came to these boards to find everyone betting the Over, and therefore changed your mind?!Wow - so many of you like the Over on this.

Maybe I am missing something obvious. We shall see.

200 on the Indians +130. If they had won Sunday night I probably wouldn't have done this, but I like betting on good teams to rebound after a poor performance.

 
Finalized for tonight:

Brewers -165 *2 units*

Cleveland +125 *1 unit*

Oakland -120 *1 unit*

Angels -120 *1 unit*

I actually did a little digging this morning....Westbrook was 0-4 with an ERA of 5.13 and a Whip of 1.32 vs. the White Sox in 2005. And this White Sox lineup got BETTER in the off season. If he gets hit hard, I'm not sure I trust the Indians BP to hold the Sox bats at bay either.

Westbrook was also terrible in April of last year.

Meanwhile, Fabulous Freddy was a much better pitcher on the road last year than he was at that launching pad in Chicago. ERA of 4.38 at home vs. a 3.40 on the road. And it isn't like he's pitching against the Royals today. That Cleveland lineup was docile on Sunday, but it still managed 4 runs in the process.

Day game. Wind blowing out. Band Box. Thome. Hafner.

I think this can only spell O-V-E-R

 
200 on the Indians +130. If they had won Sunday night I probably wouldn't have done this, but I like betting on good teams to rebound after a poor performance.
good luck with that. I think they are good too, but not as good as Chicago, who I think takes 2 of 3 at least from Cleveland and tomorrow's matchup doesn't look so hot for the Tribe either. Lee was abysmal vs. the Sox last year.

Tomorrow's game factored in also. I think its pretty tough to sweep the Indians and I don't like Lee tomorrow. He was pretty bad at the end of the spring.
 
Seattle/LAA should cruise OVER the figure tonight. Lackey gets off to slow April starts and Joelle has been one of the easiest guys to rake the last two years - especially early on. He wasn't crisp this spring either.

Wow, I just saw this line. Seems very low.

I think what brought the number down (it was 8.5 -105 on each side last night) is the impending cold seattle weather. Tends to keep the balls from going as far (especially in that park). That said - I looked at the over there as well but decided to pass.

really? It's supposed to be 60 and sunny. That's not bad at all for an April day in the Pacific NW. Also, with Daylight Savings, it's going to be light out until 8ish, so it won't cool down until mid innings.

:thumbup: Looks like they adjusted it. Last night when I looked it said lower 40's.

Those are the overnight lows. The weather is actually pretty decent today in Portland and I would imagine it's pretty similar two hours north. There could be some early fireworks in this one, especially from the Angels.

4 runs through 3.5 innings.Not looking good for me.

Edit to add:

8 runs through 4.5 innings.

Really not looking good for me.

Edit to add:

10 runs is the final.
