Post Best Baseball Sportsbook? - Opinions Wanted

With the Baseball season just one month away, I was wondering what you guys feel is the best baseball sportsbook. Of course we all know that our sponsors CRIS, BetJM and Greek are great Sportsbooks in general. And since Pinny is gone, I need a new alternative.

This will be my second year betting baseball, and basically when betting baseball I am looking for few things.
Overnight Lines
Best value on favs/dogs
Best Parlay odds (I do a lot of 2 and 3 teamers)
Team Totals
Series Prices
(I like these the most, instead of betting on one game, someplaces like SBook let you bet on the entire series)

These are just a few things Im looking for. Probably the most important to me are Overnight Lines and the Best Values. Team Totals and Series Prices are things I like to do more or less for fun. All opinions are welcomed.

+- 1 lines were a novelty. You can mimic those bets with a combination of 2 bets (1 ML and 1 on the 1.5 runline). There's a formula out there somewhere to calculate what % of money needs to be made on each bet, but the result will be better value than had you been lazy enough to just bet the +-1 line.

look guys yah mathmatically it looks good but you gonna be giving alot of juice on the RL and if you lose that you gonna be - cash even if the ml wins. thats reality they dont have it and they gonna lose some biz from me for it. i aint gonna change my ways to pander to a f#$kin book.
