Seems like betting dogs is much more of a volume game than a picking your spots game. Picks in bold if i do anything...
AL Card:
Oak +128 - blanton v dice-k; if we remember from last year dice-k is much more hittable 2nd and 3rd time around...hence him being unhittable until around memorial day last year. These teams saw each other's SP a week ago in japan. I favor a disciplined hitting team like Oakland against a pitcher they've seen before. I remember when the Yanks and Rays did the Japan trip a few years ago....they were jetlagged and out of it for a good week when they came back.
Twins +112 ( was +120 earlier) - Boof v Garland; new team, same pitcher. I like Garland a lot and think he'll have a good year, but the Twins know him. Again, the Twins at home when underdogs should be an auto bet. Top 5 bullpen in baseball, good lineup, serviceable SP. Its too low at +112 for me...maybe the chasers will push it higher later.
Toronto +150??? whatever it is...Halladay v Wang. Same bet as yesterday and I'll probably make it. Just waiting for the matchbook market to fill up.
Texas/Seattle - Padilla is awful. I dont think you can pay me to try and build a case for taking the Rangers here.

Something else to keep in mind is last year there wasn't really any tape on him either. After a year, you'd have to think that teams are at least much more familiar with him and what he's more likely going to throw at certain times in the count.
I'll probably fade Dice-K most every chance this year against a decent or better hitting team, and hope that he also has a little bit of the sophomore slump as well to help. Should still get + money almost every time. No way in hell should Boston be laying -130 or more 2,500 miles from home against a team like Oakland.

I got roy last night at +151, A's at +120, and Boof +112, this morning. I will learn. how about all those puppies barking yesterday. need to lay off going against the real aces though.

chess - you can withdraw via check...takes a week or so
gwarner - matchbook is an exchange, not a book. users set lines not the book. you will find penny spreads almost everywhere with 4 figures available on all games
you can bid and offer to "buy" teams at a price
if the market is Yanks -154/Jays +152 you can bid for the yanks -153 by offering toronto +153. sounds confusing but it isnt once you get the hang of it

I love all the Padilla bashing...it makes for a good upset when somehow he's not involved with the outcome of the game (which is the case in so many Juniour League games)

*Peavy also showing last year wasn't a fluke.....check
*Cubs not only screwing their backers as usual, but also stringing them along and teasing them as usual.....check
I agree with your comments re. Garland. Twins know him...expect Kubel in the line-up...he's career about .400 against him. Not sure what to expect out of Boof to be honest. Lost weight, but has been up and down.
I like the Oakland play quite a bit. Dice K doesn't impress me at all (throws too many pitches....walks too many....against a team that at least likes to work the count a bit). Only question is whether Boston shells Blanton.
Don't see much else I like today. I got more aggressive then I should have yesterday....need to show more patience and watch some of these games.
GL today.

Season off to a decent start:
*Cash KC as nearly a 2:1 dog.....check
*Zito showing last year wasn't a fluke.....check
*Peavy also showing last year wasn't a fluke.....check

Love the picks as always KOAJ. Loaded up on that Sea RL, just don't see how Padilla can keep them in the game. Really like the A's behind Blanton as well. He is a very underrated pitcher who is going to have a great season IMO. GL today fellas,

my plays today were Toronto and Oakland......the Sox are now on week 2 of their extended road trip and have got to be getting burned out by now. good value in fading them in certain situations like tonight with Blanton at home where he had a 2.59 ERA and 0.99 WHIP last season.
