What's up Covers Forum & fellow MLB gamblers! As some of you know already, my other thread in General Discussions showed my journey of traveling cross country from NY to Las Vegas. Baseball is the sole reason for coming out. 3 straight years of no less than 56% - Playoffs 62% last season (Only a few games but still!)
So, videos will be posted on my YouTube channel to help explain picks more in depth.
YTD; 0-0
Units: 0
OPENING DAY - 4/2/17
New York Yankees (Tanaka).... 330/300
Ok, so I might be betting with my heart a little bit here as I want to take home a W with the first Yankees game I ever watch in Las Vegas. That being said, since I am honest, I also love the pitching matchup here. Archer 0-2 in his last 2 opening days starts. Tanaka was 4-0 last season to improve to 6-0 overall versus the Rays while Chris Archer is 0-3 in 2016 against New York. I feel our bats are stronger, our pitching and bullpen are better, and our managing of the game is better. Give me theeeeeeee Yanks!
San Francisco Giants (Bumgarner).... 520/300
The pitching matchup favors SF highly as Greinke has shown some command, but diminished velocity. Some no names in Spring Training were taking him deep and I can see Posey having a nice 3 RBI day in Arizona. Dbacks have a new coach but when you lost 9/10 home games to the Giants last season, will the new coach really help? Book it!
Chicago Cubs (Lester)... 390/300
Lester has OWNED the Cardinals while Martinez is 3-3 in 19 starts against the Cubs while posting a 4.67 ERA. This will be the best game of the day to watch obviously, especially to see D.Fowler on the Cardinals now after winning it with the Cubs last year. Cubs have better pitching and offense. Cubbies it is!
