I know you guys are doing great. The best record on the thread here or anywhere. But, please remember that every day begins with 0-0 record and stay humble. Most importantly - don't lose focus and embrace the losses as you do with the wins. That is the only way to keep learning and getting better. And please get used to discussions about the games and sharing valuable insights and info that you know but is not publicly common.
And again

Okay sorry then I indicated false odds. In decimal it was 1.8, I was not really familiar with the American odds but now I understand its -125 not -120. So the count was still right.
So the count was still right. As of today, I will continue to fade the Yankees as they are facing Schwarzer und have called upon Phil Hughes, who barely got any throws during Spring Training. He pitched three innings and allowed 3 runs against a minor league team and that's it.
Further, he is still listed on the 15-day disabled list I will continue to fade the Yankees until they prove me wrong. Scherzer is a very solid pitcher who should be able to control the Yankee bats.

CHI White Sox ML +131
In the spirit of discussion and debate, I'm curious why you're taking the Sox today. I see these two teams as roughly even offensively, and Hernandez is definitely the better pitcher. What do you like about Chicago today?

I know it isn't my pick, but I do know that Felix historically has struggled on the south side. Also, "The Bartender" Wilhelmsen threw a lot last night, in the cold. Edge to Chicago bullpen tonight. White Sox have seen primarily ALL right handed throwers this year with only 1 AB vs Lefties. On the flip, Axelrod is a question mark. Had a nice spring this year, but did struggle last year at home and during the day. Hard to cap, I would love simon's input as well. Just my 0.02$

KC Royals ML +110
The Royals have smacked around lefties so far this year, including exploding against the Phillies bullpen yesterday. The Phillies bats are not the problem, it's their pitching. Fading Lannan and hoping the royals can get to the bullpen early again. Mendoza earned his spot with a strong spring for the royals. Edge to Kansas City's bullpen too. They can hold a lead if given one I believe. I will take the AL squad in this interleague matchup.
ARI Diamondbacks ML +100
Young lefty taking the mound for Arizona. Corbin pitched very well all spring. Arizona's bats are hot right now. Edge to Diamondbacks' bullpen and I like their lineup matchup vs Fiers. Fading the brewers bullpen as well.
ATL Braves -1.5 +125
Villaneuva is no slouch. He pitches smart with a chip on his shoulder. Mixes it up. He was very vocal last year in Toronto about being a quality starter, had a very good spring, but... I don't like the Cubs' lineup matchup vs Teheran. Teheran had a stellar spring and Chicago just can't hit right now. I love the Atlanta's bullpen and their ability to hold leads, big or small. I will take the run line for value.

Took some chances with some big dogs yesterday. I like the road teams today.
SEA Mariners 1.5 +115
Going against Simondog. I like having the better pitcher in this one and what I believe to be a better lineup and bullpen. Taking the run line as an away team is more favorable than taking it as a home team so I decided to do it here instead of laying the juice.
WAS Nationals ML +113
After the way washington got embarrassed yesterday I expect them to bounce back. In professional sports everyone is good and in spots like these I will always take the team that just got embarrassed.
Over 7 STL Cardinals - SF Giants +100
I think we see some bats come alive here for San Fran. I don't think it will be an explosive game but that we should squeak over the number in a 6-3 ball game.

Happ took the #5 with a spectacular spring, 23.2 inn and giving up only 5ER (1.90ERA) a K rate of 6.8/9IP and K/BB of 2.57 and Lackey a year removed after TJ at 34 yrs old had a mediocre spring. Jays bats are awake, 14 runs and 22 hits last 2 gms. Lackey's career line vs Jays is 5.4/1.41/.275 and even more encouraging as a Red Sox hurler going 2-4 with a 9.14ERA.
Hanson will be making an effort to correct last yrs problem of too many walks with his new team in his debut and Harrison may be a little overrated with less potent Ranger line up. Situation for angels is favourable with + money.
The king with a superior offence vs a late replacement of Danks. . Axelrod made seven starts in 14 appearances last season, but started in 40 of his past 42 minor-league games dating back to 2011. Axelrod has never faced the Mariners, run line looks good.

NY Mets -170
Niese has impressed me with his pitching. Before yesterdays game, the Marlins had only 1 run in their first 3 games combined, they will struggle scoring runs here today.
SEA Mariners -140
KING FELIX, enough said. I did read at times he struggles in this ball park, so I shyed away from the RL and decided to go ML, not bad value. Seattle may actually be able to back King Felix up and score some runs for him this season.
ATL Braves -170
Just fading what seems to be a bad Cubs team here, hope it works out. Braves have only had trouble putting up runs in one game, where they were shutout by Cliff Lee. I don't see the same result with Chicago throwing Villanueva and Tehran for Atlanta had 1.04 ERA in the spring

last night? Leake doesn't impress me so
I'm hoping they get to him, as the Reds bullpen should be pretty rested after
last night.
Marlins may win 2
game in a row during this season since it is so long, but I can't see them
winning many series and especially not this early on.

Lackey will give up his share, as so will Happ. Jays pen seems taxed and just not talented enough vs bosox hot hitting as well.
SEA Mariners ML -140
Only edge sox hav whole matchup is bullpen, and it isnt much. SEA has a deep pen, sox lineup is filled with strikeout holes today as well.

Least popular home team today. Fading the public with batter/pitcher history and the home field to back me up.

3-1 game either way how I see it. Two subpar lineups vs. two starting pitchers eager to prove themselves. We'll see. GL

Happ has pitched very well since being traded to Toronto, and hashad a great spring winning the 5th spot in the rotation from romero.Lackey is old and on his last legs, Taking the young and hungry pitcher with something to prove here.
had to get this one in before game time, will add a few in a bit.

white sox feel will bounceback today, mariners wont hit axelrod well 1st 2 times around the order and that could squeak out a low scoring win, as mariners fans know felix doesn't love run support.
rockies offense is loaded, i'm fading the padres knowing that their offense cant keep up in coors field
dodgers kershaw is amazing, and burnett has struggled vs LA his last few starts.. my only worry is if LA can actually score some runs! such an over rated offense, but kershaw will bring it, so hoping burnett continues to struggle vs LAD.
