I was told that I should publicize my record more. Well, it's the "excerpt" on every one of blog posts, which means it shows up on the main page, but not anywhere within the content. If you're ever reading and wonder, "why am I listening to this guy," hitting "back" in your browser provides one answer. At least for the moment, anyway.
Tonight is one of those night where I am listing everything, not drawing a line or holding back. We'll see what happens:
If you're too careful, your whole life can become a f|STAR||STAR||STAR|in' grind.
Colorado +186, one unit. Best team in the National League at a great price, against admittedly a tough pitcher at home. Price is too high, even against Doc.
Detroit -105, three units. Rick Porcello is back, and set to be an above-average starter the rest of the way. Great matchup against the flyball/strikeout Blue Jays.
Atlanta -108, two units. I don't understand this line in any way. Sanabia essentially a coin flip? Way too much credence given to his short-term success.
Pittsburgh +103, one unit. The fading-the-Padres project.
Cleveland +143, 1.5 units. The Indians have won 14 of 22, which is a lot more like what we expected from them in March. They get Choo back tonight as well.
Houston +138, two units. Liking Bud Norris, disliking the Reds offense, whose OBP issues may now be coming up with Scott Rolen unavailable.
Los Angeles (AL) +180, one unit. Cliff Lee pitched last night, guys. The gap between these two teams doesn't warrant a 9-5 line at all.
San Francisco -110, one unit. The Giants have been value for a while now, no reason to think they won't be tonight. The Bengie Molina trade made a huge difference.
New York (NL) +104, 1.5 units. No one is excited about playing the Mets at the moment. Nevertheless, a lefty against the Manny-less Dodgers is good value, and Santana, since rejiggering his mechanics, as been fantastic.
Oakland -136, 1.5 units. Trevor Cahill. Boy, I miss getting him at plus money.
