Took the weekend off, and already have very little memory of last Thursday and Friday. Went 4-4 and up about a unit, nothing of note that I can remember in either direction. Fading Zack Greinke seems to be an acceptable notion.

You may notice an uptick in volume and volume of totals bets now that we're a month into the season. If the edge is 4|PERCENT| of a unit per play, it's going to take a lot of volume to make that worthwhile.

Pittsburgh +108, one unit. Ross Ohlendorf came on strong at the end of last year and has some low-profile value right now. I'll take the plus money at home against one of the most erratic teams going.

Atlanta -130, 1.5 units. I rarely jump on road favorites like this, so think just how much I have to think Doug Davis is done to make a play such as this. It's not like things will get better when the Brewers bullpen gets involved. The Braves could be undervalued for a while here.

Colorado -102, one unit. I'm on fence between this and the over 11. Taking this because of the shorter money. Kyle Kendrick isn't very good, and I'm getting the better team at home as well. Yes, the better team.

Los Angeles (NL) -108, two units. There's a rush to bury Chad Billingsley that doesn't quite jibe with his established performance record. He's matched up with the desiccated remnants of Rodrigo Lopez. Getting Manny Ramirez back is very big for the Dodgers.

Los Angeles (AL) +126, one unit. I had the Rays as the best team in baseball at the start of the season, and even I think -126 on the road against a good team is a little out of line.
