YTD- 4-4-2
WTD- 4-4-2 The Washington Nationals are not a bad team, in fact they may be categorized as above average. I serious starting rotation, one of the best bullpens in baseball and finally Werth finally hitting the ball. With Rich Ankiel coming back possibly as soon as this weekend, we may have a dark horse for the NL East. Now I think it is impossible for them to win the East, but don't be surprised that if the Nationals stay healthy they will win a good amount of games. A-Rod is cold as ice. The NYY yankee slugger and clean up hitter is doing anything but hitting the ball. With only 3 hits to date, and absolutely no hits with runners in scoring position, he is not living up to being the clean up hitter. He is hitting so poorly last night, that in a tied game with no outs Cano slaps a double down the left field line, and they try to send Swisher home with the clean up batter coming up next. Needless to say swisher was thrown out, A-rod popped out and the inning puttered out. His at bats were terrible and he just looks all out of sorts right now. Clayton Kershaw is who we thought they were. The ace took to the mound yesterday with nothing short of filthy stuff. Curveballs going noon to 6 at the last second, and a fastball that still has zip. He controlled the entire game and really lived up to his last years dazzling stats. Not every ace has lived up to their name so far this year, but Kershaw sure did yesterday. Aces take the mound today in many rubber matches. Lets take a look at a couple that may perform or fail to perform. BOS/TOR- This pitching matchup stands out for me right off the bat. John Lester has been the go to guy for the Red Sox the past couple years (yeah I know Beckett, but Lester has been more reliable) and the hurting bo-sox need nothing more than a win today. The Red Sox have been notorious for slow starts, but this matchup leads to speculation that the Sox get a 2nd win. Romero looked really bad in his opener against the Indians, lack of control, missing spots, no pace on the fastball. He walked away with a no decision because of a late inning burst from the Jays. Both bullpens have been absolutely terrible so far this year. So heres how I lean, BOS ML, and the over just to counteract each play. Runs to be scored, red sox need a win and they have better pitching. RED SOX ML RED SOX/JAYS OVER 7.5 DET/TAMP- Verlander vs Shields. Looks like another great match up on paper. I am more interested in an Over Under that sits at an even 7 right now. I really like this number. I think that the tigers will destroy Righties this year. Moore pitched very well yesterday in ridiculous conditions out in Detroit, but today I look for Tampa to get jumped on early and often. The only thing making this over difficult is how many runs can we get from Tampa? I'm hoping for 2 to 3 runs from them, looking for 6 plus from Detroit. Wind heading straight out to center at a decent pace, and a Rightie vs. Detroit line up. I see a sleeper over here. DET/TAMP Over 7 DET TT Over 4 Final Card DET/TAMP Over 7 DET TT Over 4 RED SOX ML RED SOX/JAYS OVER 7.5 BOL, COMMENTS, COMPLAINTS.

YTD- 3-3 WTD- 3-3 Good start with the DET/TAMP Under, lets look at tonight. Minor league pitcher vs the yankees= Runs NYY TT Over 5 NYY/BALT- Over 9.5 (would love for it to get to 9) So this is going to get some hated responses but here me out, Mets/Nationals over 8. If you live anywhere near new york you can attests to the wind the past couple of days up here. Cross wind at about 15 mph, dont think its going to make a difference. Gee takes the mound for the Mets. Posted a good record for the Mets last year, but had a fairly high ERA. He is about the only pitcher the mets hit for last year. Detwiler's numbers wont shock you, but he is a good pitcher on a bad team, but a team that is steadily improving. Yes I know, the stadium sucks for scoring runs, but they have made some alterations to improve that. Putting the over at 8 tells me that there is still some hang over from last years team and stadium. Im looking at the Mets scoring a bunch here, leaving us wondering: Who are these guys? Mets/Nationals Over8 Final Card NYY/Balt Over 9.5 (praying to drop to 9, but ill take it at 9.5) NYY TT Over 5 Mets/Nattys Over 8 Good luck and suggestions welcomed.

Good point sims, but my play today has nothing to do with yesterday. Its just food for thought the next time we see those pitchers. But I understand what your saying. And beat the books, this is not a strong lean, so it could go either way, but I still like the under.

YTD- 2-3
WTD- 2-3 Well we learned yesterday that Nova was not a fluke from last year and that spring training pitching numbers mean nothing. We also learned that Matt Weiters may be a legitimate MVP candidate. If anyone on that team decided to hit other than him we would have had our overs. No Pujols, no problem. St. Louis is still playing good ball. We also learned that Jake Westbrook still has it at the age of 34. Now I would note that 4 walks and a high ball to strike ratio may make me swing the opposite direction in his next start. I would chalk this game up to Cincinnati just getting off to a slow start. Just a bad pick on the Red Sox over. I got what I expected in the beginning, two good young pitchers that went 5 and 6 innings respectfully. No one hit the bullpens though, so the second part failed. I think the big take away from this game is that Alvarez is a legitimate force. Look to ride him in his next couple starts and watch for his name to creep up the rising stars chart. So lets look at the 1pm game here. I have it at 8.5 at my book and I have to say at first look that seems very low. I would assume that Vegas thinks Detroit has used up all its runs in the first three games of the year. Couple that with a strong pitching contingent from Tampa Bay and we have a seriously contentious game on our hands. Moore may be one of the better pitching prospects to come on the scene in the last year, while Porcello is really struggling to figure out a go to pitch and how to really hone it in. With a slight breeze heading out towards the deepest part of the ballpark, I dont see weather being a significant factor. I would look for Moore to be very strong here and runs to be scarce on both sides. The obvious play is the over, but the more you look at this matchup I lean towards the under. TB/DET- Under 8.5 |

Ok so update on the weather in Baltimore, down to 15 MPH but still towards right field, which is an extremely short wall, no change to yankees having power to right field and no change to pitching match up.
