The bookie under the stairs in front of the Moonshine Hotel in downtown Chicago is the only one taking totals on MLB ST. Sac's got credit there maybe he get you a bet down on that total.

But seriously a few places were taking totals in the beginning on some games but with the way games are being called everyone seems to not be taking totals any more - for now.

Who are you using for lineups?

Nationals +120

Probably a bad idea. Choosing hitting over pitching.

Strasburg says he's good, no problems with his hand.

I meant that he was scheduled to pitch, not start. The guy has been out forever. Word around town is that the Sox will use him from the bullpen when the regular season begins.

@undermysac

It doesn't take a gambling site sac. Weather..com and/or Accuweather..com are both about as accurate as you are going to get. I have a list of zip codes where the parks are located and if you feed them the zip code you get on-site info. The thing to watch is ball park orientation, so you know how the wind direction relates to the field. That can be found at baseball almanac...com. Some guys like the picture on Covers matchups and they are pretty good too, especially for guys like JEG that don't know north from south. Neanderthals need pictures, like hieroglyphics, to understand these things.

I have a cousin that lives in Goodyear. Her and her husband go to a lot of Reds/Indians games. They are both wearing designer clothespins on their noses this year. BOL

Thanks. I like pictures, it's the only way to order food at Denny's at 3am with only one eye open.

Spring Training 2021 [ 8-8-1 / +95 / RoR +5.9%]

3/9

Tigers +140 W

Red Sox +120 L

Pirates +135 W

Royals +105 L

Comment: like I said this morning, 2-2 with dogs makes money, 2-2 with favorites does not. Sac is lucky he missed the Royals pick. Line moves probably screwed us, or jinxed us, or whatever. Go figure.

This site has some decent info, also has a weather forecast for each Stadium during the season, nothing for S.T. weather wise I think.

@KeyElement

If the Nats hold this lead, my 2-2 plan will work as well.

You know, it won't be this easy in the regular season. I will try my hardest to be selective this year and focus on the K props.
