    $$$$ THREAD CONCEPT - This thread is for all of us to share our expertise with everyone else to benefit the group.

    THIS IS NOT A PICKING CONTEST!

    PLEASE make special note of this! If you have an area of expertise, please make some $$$$ choices from your area of expertise when you have a game you are confident enough in to call it a "$$$$ PLAY". The difference between a PICK and a $$$$ PLAY is that a PICK is a game you like, a $$$$ PLAY is a game that you KNOW. If you are claiming your choice is a $$$$, and you really have NO true knowledge of that game, then you are just cheating us and posting your PICK just for attention and to see your name on the board.

    RULES FOR POSTING - We will not track your $$$$ PLAY if you do not follow these rules. You are welcome to still post your PICK or card, but unless you do the things below, we won't be putting your $$$$ on the spreadsheet.

    Only one $$$$  per day and a MAXIMUM of 4 per week. 

    A week starts on Mon and ends on Sun.

    - No buying points.

    - No other "line-manipulations" like teasers, etc.

    - No parlays

    - No props

    - $$$$ PLAYS need to be -129 or lower.  Anything -130 and over, take the -1.5 goals or runs.

    - Do not try to cheat on lines. We, as a group, are all over the lines and every time someone gives a stinky spread, it is always called out. If the line is off, the $$$$ doesn't go into the spreadsheet.


    AND THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE!

    You must give an ORIGINAL explanation as to why you KNOW this $$$$ PLAY will win. And don't just "stat" us to death. Tell us about the game. DO NOT COPY YOUR WRITE-UPS! People on this thread are all over the internet and will find your plagiarism. I guarantee it. You can use Last 10, ATS, etc., numbers to support your argument, but stats from a gambling website are not an explanation.

    FOLLOW THESE RULES AND YOUR $$$$ PICK WILL GET TRACKED

    Thank you for helping keep this thread positive.  It is for the benefit of everybody, not just a place for you to blather out random picks and toot your own horn.

    Welcome to all the MLB cappers who didn't join us for college basketball. The NCAA basketball season has ended and the $$$$ thread has moved on over to the MLB Forum.  Feel free to chime in with any helpful information or angle on ANY pick (baseball, golf, soccer, NBA, NHL, etc).  If you will be making a $$$$ Pick please put "$$$$" before and after your play and make it bold so that I can track it.  Standings will be updated in the morning!  I have high hopes that this thread will acquire a few more solid cappers to add to the leaderboard and help everyone make a little coin.  Let's have a great season!

    To fellow golf enthusiasts/gamblers,

    Does anyone have an early lean on tournament match ups for the Masters? Willett over Garcia looks very interesting to me at +105. Looking forward to this weekend!

    I am also looking forward to following MLB handicappers on this thread. I hope the write ups/ information is just as good as the past few weeks in the NCAAB basketball threads.

    BOL to everyone and thank you Bubba for continuing on with this thread...

    Just read this on streamwire, interesting going to look into these.

    Raptors -5.5 5dimes: Note that Charlotte is just 24-25 ATS this year vs. good offensive teams which score 99-plus points per contest, while Toronto is 17-11 ATS this season after a non-conference game

    $$$$$ Cleveland Indians -108  $$$$$

    So much hype around David Price and the Red Sox this year but Cleveland is definitely going to be a team to watch out for this year. They have a strong rotation starting with Corey Kluber who should return to his 2014 Cy Young form in 2016 with an improved defense behind him. Cleveland hitters have found success against Price, Kipnis .348  Santana .310  Chisenhall .364.

    I really like Texas over Seattle... The Rangers starter is almost a lock on opening day, and Seattle lacks power and depth in their lineup...

    @RBTrojan  Most likely won't play any Tournament Match-ups for the Masters.  I hope to find some value on the Thursday and Friday pairings. Henrik Stenson +2000 and Fowler +1300 look intriguing.

    $$$$ Mets -118 $$$$

    Volquez was sharp against the Mets on Sunday throwing 6  scoreless innings.  Young who had a good year last year has not been so sharp against the Mets where he holds a 6.0 ERA.  He also gave up two runs in 4 innings against them in the World Series.  At some point the Mets have to be fed up with getting beat by the Royals and that point is today.  The revenge factor is high here and this team is ready to get the ball rolling.  During the 8th and 9th innings of their season opener their bats showed a little life and I am looking for that to carry over to today.  If you remember the only win the Mets got in the World Series was when Syndergard started, he is also starting today and I expect to see him throw past the Royals at 100 MPH right to a W.

    $$$$ barcelona -1 $$$

    For my first $$ pick we are making our way to the Camp Nou as FC Barcelona hosts Atletico Madrid for the 1st leg of the Champions League quarter finals. Barcelona has the best soccer player in the world Lionel Messi as well as the very good Neymar and Luis Suarez, together the "MSN" have scored 107 goals so far this season. They have beat Atletico Madrid twice this season both with scores of 2-1. The goal line is only -1 due to Atletico Madrid's great defense but i believe Barcelona will come out strong today especially after having their 30+ game undefeated streak snapped this weekend in "el classico" by Real Madrid. 

    $$$ Barcelona -1 $$$

    At the very worst i see this as a push, Atletico will not be able to contain Barcelona for 90 minutes.

    MLB LEANS = METS, CARDINALS, DBACKS, TIGERS

    There is a second game I will be taking today but there isn't much value here at the price so it is more of a gut play: Detroit Tigers -123.  For Miami, Chen  was signed in the off season and this will be his first opening day start.  I didn't think he was that sharp with the Orioles and it will be interesting to see how the Tigers do against this lefty.  Now what I do know is that  Verlander was fade material last year as he just wasn't as sharp especially early in the year.  I think he had some real motivation this offseason to get his mojo back and I had the opportunity to see him throw in Spring Training vs the Nationals.  He absolutely dominated that lineup and I know that the sample size is small in Spring Training but I was sitting in the front row and he hit every spot.  Verlander will go back to old form this year and I look for him to put up some great numbers.  I also saw Cabrera hit a line drive on a rope about 430ft in that same game so I hope the Tigers bring their bats.  Another note: Miami is under new management in Mattingly (hitting coach Bonds) and I do think he will turn this ball club around this year.  They have 3 guys in Gordon, Stanton, and Yelich that can hit the ball but not today against Verlander.  Hoping for this Detroit win today so we can get a better price on Fernandez in game 2.  

    Good Luck!

    $$$$$$ HOUSTON ASTROS ML -130$$$$$$$

    I will take reigning AL CY Young winner on opening day for a team any day. This Houston team is full of crazy young talent that can only get better starting with phenom Carlos Correa. This team jumped from having worst record in baseball to a good playoff push. They are returning a good chunk of those heavy swinging bats to the lineup and with the history of those balls flying out of Yankee Stadium give me them Astros as my top play of the day.

    1st post on here but followed through college basketball season. Wanted to first start with thanking Bubba for continuing the thread into bases season. Thanks for your time and effort. 

    My first $$$ play is Yankees/Astro's under 7 (-125)

    While Tanaka had his issues with a 7+ ERA this spring, so did a lot of big name pitchers. However, Keuchel did not allow an ER this spring in 17 innings. The wind is gusty blowing in from left field @ 10-20 mph. The wind chill is 26 degrees. I don't see the ball flying out of the park today and stringing hits together against Keuchel will be hard. Also Tanaka did not issue many free passes in the spring (2 in 11 IP) so that shouldn't be an issue either. I think the weather will booster Tanaka's confidence and he get back on track today. Also lean to Houston mL as well.

    $$$ HOU/NYY under 7 $$$

    Bubba! Great to see you continuing the thread into baseball season. 

    My $$$$ play is Houston Astros -130

    The yanks struggled last season against the 2015 Cy Young winner in Keuchel, Hell, almost everyone struggled against him. Keuchel blossomed into an ace after ranking second among AL starters in ERA, second in opponents’ batting average, first in opponents’ OBP, first in OPS allowed, first in quality starts, first in innings pitched, first in ground ball percentage and fifth in strikeout-to-walk rate last year. 

    Houston has the same core in its batting order, led by Jose Altuve. The AL leader in hits and stolen bases the past two seasons, and is surrounded by power threats that include Colby Rasmus, Luis Valbuena and AL Rookie of the Year Carlos Correa, although it should be noted that Evan Gattis is on the DL.

    I just don't see the Yankees being able to touch  Keuchel today, and hoping the stros can pull out a few runs from Tanaka like they did in the AL Wild Card game last year.

    I'm also leaning the under, but taking Houston -130 for the $$$$ play. GL today everyone

    Leaning towards Toronto tonight Jake Ordorizzi has been banged around this spring and is also only 4-6 against the Jays.

    @Makaveli47,  Thanks for posting your play but if you want to be tracked you will need to give an explanation as to why you think that game will go over.

    $$$$ - play is the Mariners (listed pitchers) -105

    Iwakuma pitches well against the Rangers both at home and on the road.  He would be a number one on a lot of teams.  Perez on the other hand is not a number 2 starter by any stretch.  Favorable pitching matchup for Mariners.  I also think they come out strong after getting their opening day streak snapped.

    Fwiw, I also like Dbacks, Giants, Cubs and Toronto.  First 3 don't fit the -130 criteria and I don't like Toronto as much as the Mariners.
