You even have a cool name for it! HaHa, awesome.
It's gonna be a great summer and Sabermetrics will guide the way! MLB is the one sport where a pure numbers guy can actually consistently make a good return, unlike the other sports.
Will your thread here be open to discussion on Sabermetrics, like posting different formulas which people use and such, or would you prefer to just keep this thread for the picks?
Can't believe tomorrow is Opening Day.. I'm SO EXCITED!! 
@ jay: I liked it too, but the fluctuations got pretty heavy sometimes and I have to say, I feel more comfortable with actually capping the games than just following the old chase :-)
@ kreatture: I would eb more than happy to discuss Sabermetrics in here, one thing I have discussed with a couple of people before (and it seems I am the only one with my optinion) is that GDP should be counted as two outs since I also foce someone else into an out which is not counted in his stats...happy to discuss 
@therizz: Glad to be back, hope we will have a fun and profitable year together...
Picks will follow within the next hours...YEEEEEAHA, the day is finally there....PLAY !!!!!!!!!!!
Here we go for today:
ATL@WAS; Due to my numbers this game should be in the -150s so I go with 0.5 Units on ATL (@-134)
MIL@CIN; With the posted lineups, CIN owns Gallardo, I have a line up in the -180s so I go with 0.5 Units on CIN here (@-112)
SD@STL: Biggest game for me today, RL on STL @+127 with 1 Unit; see a score of 7-3...
Good luck everyone!
OK Folks,
during the last couple of years I have learned that recapping your picks is an important part of the learning process, so lets take a look at what we had:
ATL: Looks like a solid win, they have never really been in a sot where I thought the game could change negatively.
CIN: Lucky win, although the stats showed that the CIN bats should have scored 5-6 runs in the first 6 innings...they had the hits for it but didnt score that much, the over pick was solid though.
LAA: Solid pick as well, the controlled the game, at least the time that I have watched.
STL: I still think this was a solid pick. In the first 7 innings, they "outhitted (is that a real word? I hope you know what I am talking about anyway) SD by 10-2 but didnt get the runs in, I think we had loaded bases twice...I would pick it again anytime.
SF: Pure valueplay, didnt see how you can (despite opening day home advantage) give us SF with Timmy for +money...I had them at -112....was a close game.
Here are the stats for the young season:

And yep, I was on St. Louis and thought the same thing with all those hits in the early innings.
GREAT DAY
