Live Game
Red Sox @ Phillies
Bosox hitting nicely, but too short SU. I'm not convinced by either pitcher. A small bet on the Over early in the season with a light hitting Phillies team.
Over 7.5 @ 2
Yankees @ 1.83
The bombers are short here, but Dickey is poor in April.
Giants @ 2.1
Hellickson looks vulnerable and if Chris Heston can carry his Spring form into the regular season, SF look worth an interest.
Last night was a horrible bet; I didn't like it from the off and lo, it came to pass.
The Astros are on a tear; the worst team in baseball (maybe) is playing like anything but, winning 9 of their last 11. They snag the first pick in the first-year entry draft tonight too, so it must be a pretty happy clubhouse.
Bud Norris takes to the hill for the home team with a 3-1 record and a 2.03 ERA in seven starts at home, off the back of three QS. Norris has a 1.32/0.95 WHIP/ERA line L3.
Miguel Gonzalez, hasn't won since I was a boy, although he's hit some bad luck along the way. He had a poor outing in his last game, but he has decent enough stuff - nontheless, Houston look a value home dog.
Lackey has horrible numbers against Texas. Ogando is coming off the DL against an offense that is hitting the ball hard. Fenway is giving up nearly ten runs a game.
There should be a ton of runs ... watch for a one run piters' duel.
Ogando should get chased.
Pick: Over 9 @ 1.87
Pick: Boston Red Sox -1.5 @ 2.6
CC has the stuff and his repaired arm seems to be getting stronger as the season goes on.
Corey Kluber has quietly put together a series of quality starts (and corresponding numbers) and although he seems to be vulnerable in late innings (something to bear in mind if betting I/R) he can keep the runs in check.
