I’ll be posting all my picks for April in this thread.
April 5
No Plays: I just don't feel too strongly about any of the lines today.
Here are my final futures to begin the season.
Colorodo Rockies Over 81.5 (-110) 2 Units
Colorado to win the NL West +625 1 Units
Toronto Over 82.5 (-120) 2 Units
Cleveland Under 78.5 (+100) 2 Units
San Diego Over 73.5 (-120) 2 Units

San Diego (-125) 1 Unit
Luebke is relatively unknown, but he had an excellent finish to the season, and is clearly the superior pitcher in this matchup. Billingsley struggled with control all of last year, and didn’t show many positive signs this spring. The Padres have what I feel to be an underrated lineup after several guys really underperformed last season, and Alonso should prove to be a great pickup. I also like the RLM so far, as 63% are on the Dodgers, but the line at Pinnacle has moved from -113 to -130.
I’m also looking at Tex Over 9.5 and Oakland, but I will probably stick to this play.

Updated Record: 6-4 +1.54 Units
Miami +140
Miami/ Philadelphia Under 3.5 First 5 Inns
LAA -160
Colorado/ SF Over 9 -125
The Colorado game was disgusting. I figured they could at least get 3 runs off Zito and that neither team would score after the 5th. Hoping to finish the night well.

Easy winner with the Oakland under, and tough loss with Toronto blowing the save.. Second time in two days blowing a lead after the 7th.

Matt Moore should eventually be a stud, but he hasn’t been overly impressive in ST and has been known to struggle in April in the minors. Going on the road against one of the best offenses in the league, probably won’t be the best way for him to start the year. On the other side, the Rays seem to be hitting well and shouldn’t have much trouble scoring off Porcello.
