Baseball thread for the year

I am going to keep my baseball picks in this thread. I am glad NBA and NHL are both winding down for the season as I am excited to concentrate on fewer sports.

I am really busy with work and been on the road alot so I don't have much time today for write ups, hopefully it slows down over the next month.

I had an atrocious french open and barely broke even in the ncaa tourney and nba and nhl playoffs, not worth the time I spent on it. Going to be conservative the rest of the baseball year until football starts. All plays 1 unit unless listed otherwise

Ray +133 5dimes

cincy -134 5dimes

Giants -175 5dimes

Phillies -1.5 +120 5dimes

Braves +109 betjam
 
Good luck Bay bud. These game are all very hard to call, I wouldnt be surprised if I had an 0-4 day.

I just cant put money on Burnett, Porcello has never pitched in the playoffs though and but has put up good numbers against the Yanks this year.

186-143 +21.12

Rays -1 +136 risk 1

Tigers +100 risk 1

Cardinals +123 risk 1

Brewers -1 +111 risk 1
 
Great hit on the the tigers future baybud. I am ice cold on my baseball picks , 0-5 in the last 5. I love these games today so they will both probably lose.

Brewers -1 -110 risk 2.20

cardinals +1.5 -150 risk 1.50

Other picks

Boise state -21 -110 risk 1.1

Tampa bay NHL -105 risk 1.05

Red wings -1 -130 risk 1.3

Predators +100 risk 1
 
191-147 +22.12

From an 0-5 run to a 5-0 night, doubt it will continue today but we will see.

Texas Rangers +100 risk 1

CFB Virginia tech -7 -123 risk 1.23

Arizona State -3 -128 risk 2.56

Georgia -2.5 -1110 risk 1.10

NHL Boston -1 +115 risk 1

NHL washington (regulation time) -115 risk 2.30
 
196-149 +24.59

I bet alot of these earlier and I could have had some favorable lines in some of the games like the Patriots and the texans if I had of waited until today. I still feel good about alot of of these, we shall see.

MLB Rangers -137 risk 2.74

MLB Brewers -1 +104 risk 1

NFL Saints -6.5 -110 risk 2.20

Patriots -7 -110 risk 2.20

Texans -4 -118 risk 1.18

Vikings -3 -120 risk 1.20

49ers -2.5 -120 risk 1.20

Bills ml +138 risk 1

 
I have been looking at Greinkes numbers this morning and he has been incredible at home, he is 11-0 in 15 starts. He looked a little shaky against the Diamondbacks but he has good numbers against the cards overall, though Garcia has looked sharp against the cards, 1-0 with a 1.93 ERA in two starts against Milwaukee this year. I would probably feel a little better with gallardo on the mound but then you get to go up against Carpenter. Adding another unit on the brewers at -1 and another unit on the Rangers.

Brewers -1 +104 risk 1

Rangers -137 risk 1.37
 
202-151 +29.17

Rangers -1 -104 risk 2.08

Brewers -1 +104 risk 2.08

NHL Boston -5 (reg. time) -130 risk 2.60

Hurricanes +110 risk 1

Blues -130 risk 1.3

Capitals -.5 reg.time +100 risk 1

NFL Lions -6 -110 risk 1.10
. I cant believe I am betting on the detroit Lions and the points, amazing what one year can do.
 
205-155 +26.49

I am not really excited about wagering on any of these games, with malkin and Crosby out I am not going to touch the Pitt home opener. story on malkin not dressing for home opener http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/sports/penguins/s_761272.html

Detroit looks like the stronger play on the board but it should be a close one, Detroit is 20-8 in its last 28 home games and Texas is 5-17 in its last 22 games in Detroit. Lewis is on the mound for the Rangers and has been undefeated in the postseason but did get lit up in Detroit this year,giving up 10 hits and five runs and going 4 innings in Detroit in August, he gave up nine runs four home runs in 3 1/3-innings at home in June.

Fister seems sort of strange to me, his win loss record looks so bad because he was pitching for a bad team in Seattle but still had a great era.

He is traded to a good team and he goes 8-1 with a 1.79 ERA in 11 outings for Detroit, his numbers at home have been phenomenal, 4-0 with a 0.98 ERA in five starts at comerica.This was in is a tough call but I am going with detroit.

Tigers -125 risk 1.25


Tough call on the total, Jim Wolf is behind the plate tonight and his numbers would seem to point to the over. Wolf saw the over go 18-11 in the regular season with an average of 9.24 runs scored when he is behind the plate. I just like these two starters, both are tough pitchers and if we see in a over I think it comes in the later innings, Texas bullpen threw alot of pitches last night.

first 5 inning under 5 -140 risk 1.4


Ottawa is going to be dismal this year, I usually dont like to play teams on a back to back but I love the additions the Wild made with Dany Heatley and Devin Setoguchi and they seem to be playing a lot faster style of play with their usual strong defensive play. I will take a Wild team all year long at +1 -167 , especially facing Ottawa.

Wild +1 -167 risk 1.67
 
213 -156 +37.60

MLB

Detroit tigers -1 -104 risk 2.08

Props

M.young (texas) no hits +160 risk 1

Detroit first run scored -120 risk 1.20

NHL

Red wings -145 risk 1.45

Nashville -145 risk 1.45

Chicago reg time -125 risk 2.50

CFB

USC-3 -115 risk 3.45
 
217-159 +41.95

I like the rangers at home alot more tomorrow but going to play some small wagers tonight, nothing much I really love on the board. Greinke gave up six runs in his last start against the Cardinals but still got the win against Garcia in game 1.

Milwaukee is 23-6 in Zack Greinkes last 29 starts but his numbers are not so great on the road. His numbers havent looked all that great in the postseason, he gave up 4 runs and 3 homers against Arizona, but he continues to win.

Garcia has been great at home, he is 9-5 with a 2.63 ERA in 16 home starts but gave up 6 runs in the game 1 loss. I lean to the Brewers but I really dont have any strong read on the side, so going with a team total.

Brewers O 3.5 TT -110 risk 1.10

Every game but one this series has seen a run scored, I usually like no runs in the first but too many big bats in both lineups see action in the first.

score first inning yes +110 risk 1

CFB

Hawaii offense reminds me of the days of June Jones and Colt brennan. They used to have a saying June would throw" appeared. basically referring to legendary Hawaiian lifeguard Eddie Akau of whom it was said, "Eddie would go" (into big surf) to save lives .They dont have Colt or June anymore but they do have quarterback Bryant Moniz and they have scored 100 points on 1,131 total yards in victories over UC Davis and LTU.

Monitz is 10th in the country is passing per game, averaging 315.6 yards a game. Hes totaled 11 touchdowns and 834 yards through the air in the past two games and just tied a record with seven first-half TD passes versus UC Davis, tying the NCAA record.

Last season, Monitz just tore up San Jose State for 560 passing yards and three touchdowns, and Hawaii killed the Spartans 41-7.

I dont think this will be as easy as the USC game last night but you will love watching Hawaii.

Hawaii -6 -110 risk 2.20

This was a quote from the anaheim coach about the trip overseas

"This recovery from Europe isn't just a one-day or a two-day event when you travel the number of hours we did and the difference in time change. There's some nights now where they're ... having trouble getting to sleep." Anaheim Ducks coach Randy Carlyle about his teams preparation ahead of Fridays home opener against San Jose

I would have taken san jose anyway even if Anaheim were not coming off the European swing.

San Jose -5 reg time +125 risk 1

Some stats I saw this morning Buffalo is 7-2 in its last nine home games and Carolina is 3-8 in its last 11 trips to Buffalo. Buffalo continues its great play out of the gate.

Buffalo -.5 reg. time -109 risk 1.09
