March-April MLB Baseball Thread

Baseball has been my best sport by far every year. Have put up some good + unit years here at the mall.

All lines on side plays will be rounded to nearest 0 or 5 to make record keeping easier. (example -132 rounds to -130, -133 rounds to -135).

Will keep records of 2 types of plays:

1. my "normal plays" (my capped plays which meet the capping cut)

2. my dog parlays (dogs which are chosen based on a few different criterion--contrarian picks, overlays, streaks, etc. ie, not choices based on the normal rigorous capping I use for "normal" plays.) These will be 2 and 3 team parlays.


one play for today:

LAA -140 over KC -- 1 unit




One dog parlay for today:

Milk & Detroit 1 unit to win 3.8 units*** while listed as 1 unit for record keeping purposes, the amount per unit is about 25% of my "normal" play unit

Hope that all makes sense.


BOL to everyone this season. PLAY BALL!!!

You will see a different Charlie Morton this year. He has much better stuff than he has shown to this point in his career. He has reached that magic age (28) where you often see MLB pitchers hit another level. Going to ride him the early part of the season until he shows me he has reverted to old, head case form.

Got the type of game I expected from Morton tonight. He is going to surprise some folks this year. Dont like how the are using Meek right now. Would prefer putting him in some situations where the score is out of hand until he comes back to last year's form


3-1 on the day +2.7 units

Overall now 11-7, +4.53 units


One overnight play for tomorrow:
Atlanta +105 1.5 units Lowe and Gallardo listed
