MLB April 10th

As we went 2/2 on MLB yesterday with 1 bet voided by a late run in the last inning. I find myself on a hot streak even tho I didn’t have quite the best feeling about my picks yesterday as I knew some of them would be close as the void showed. Today I haven’t got alot of time on my hands so I’ll try to summarize shortly todays 3 picks.

Current streak: 5

Philadelphia Phillies (Cliff Lee) – New York Mets (Dillon Gee) (April 10th | 01:05)

Todays first pick is picked for the following reasons: 1) The great odds. 2) The Mets are hot and the Phils are not. 3) The Phillies has had trouble getting runs while the Mets have been pounding in run after run. #Value

Our pick: New York Mets
Odds: 2.70 @ B365
Units: 1

Washington Nationals (Gio Gonzalez) – Chicago White Sox (Jake Peavy) (April 10th | 01:05)

1) Interleague play advantage Nationals as they play at home. Should have  a clear advantage over the White Sox 2) Gio Gonzalez on the mound for the Nats winning a total of 21 games last year. 3) The Nationals in great shape with one of the best collective teams in baseball, was last year the team with the most wins. 4) The Nats are great at home going 50-31 last season, only the Yankees had a better record. 5) The Nats went 69-45 vs right handed pitching while the White Sox went 23-24 against lefthanders.

Our pick: Washington Nationals -1.5
Odds: 2.40 @B365
Units: 2

Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (CJ Wilson) – Oakland Athletics (Jarrod Parker) (April 10th | 04:05)

Todays main pick will be the Angels who haven’t gotten off to the best of starts even tho the expectations for the team are extreme. This will be their home-opener and I believe they’ll be hungry to impress the Los Angeles crowd with new signings such as Josh Hamilton and Chris Iannetta. 1) The Angels won 8/10 against Oakland at home last season. 2) Albert Pujols seems to be in shape 3) It is unclear if Cespedes and Reddick will start for the A’s. If they don’t it will be a huge loss for the A’s starting lineup. 4) The Angels has had two rough opening series against though opponents in the Reds and the Rangers. The A’s has had two easy opening series against the Astros and the Mariners.

Our pick: Los Angeles Angels -1.5
Odds: 2.35
Units: 3

MLB April 4th

Getting a great start to the season with 3 consecutive winning days. The earnings haven’t shot through the roof yet but the baseball picks are currently up 4,5 units. Tonight there is yet again alot of action and I’ve chosen the 3 plays I find the best value in! We’ll also try out an handicap-double as we went 2/3 in yesterdays “Hail Mary-attempt” unfortunate that we didn’t put it in a system! 🙂 It’s also worth mentioning how close Yu Darvish came to a perfect game yesterday! He pitched 8.2 innings perfect and on the final out the Houston Astros managed to pick up a base hit! Un-freaking-lucky…

Cincinnati Reds (Mat Latos) – Los Angeles Angels (CJ Wilson) (April 4th | 01:10)

The first pick is the Angels who have improved their offense and is probably considered the strongest offense in the game with strong hitters like Mike Trout, Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton! CJ Wilson is also a good starting pitcher and even tho the Reds has a pretty decent lineup themselves I believe that there is great value in the odds we get here. This play will also figure in the handicap-double as the Angels has the guys to put up a show if they see the ball clearly!

Our pick: Los Angeles Angels
Odds: 2.13 @ B365
Units: 2

Arizona Diamondbacks (Brandon McCarthy) – St. Louis Cardinals (Lance Lynn) (April 4th | 03:40)

The motivator for this pick is that I believe that the Cardinals offense is better than the DBacks and that the starting pitcher Brandon McCarthy gets his home debut and might be a little nervous. That logic could also backfire on me as he could be able to throw the game of his life to impress the home crowd. To add on: the Cardinals also looked alot sharper in yesterdays game and the good odds makes me believe that there is good value here as well! Lance Lynn had a fantastic year last year as well and I’m confident he got what it takes this season as well!

Our pick: St. Louis Cardinals
Odds: 2.04 @ B365
Units: 2

Los Angeles Dodgers (Josh Beckett) – San Francisco Giants (Tim Lincecum) (April 4th | 04:10)

I’ve decided to stick with the Giants here as their starting pitchers have yet to give up a run. Both Matt Cain and Madison Bumgarner has made two quality starts which makes me confident that Tim Lincecum will follow up! Neither Pablo Sandoval nor Buster Posey have driven in a run yet and I believe atleast one of them will give Beckett a hard time and get some quality at bats! Knowing Tim Lincecum this bet has some risk to it as he has the ability to be brilliant but he showed some signs of weakness in a few games last season. I believe he is eager to prove the doubters wrong and get the win at Dodger stadium with a quality start! It is also said that he has gotten rid of his tendency to give up alot of walks which is one of the main reason for his troubles last year! Again, a great value bet but a bit risky.

Our pick: San Francisco Giants
Odds: 2,16 @ B365
Units: 2

The “Handicap-double”

Pick 1: Los Angeles Angels (CJ Wilson) -2.5 | 4.25 @ B365
Pick 2: Washington Nationals (Gio Gonzalez) -2.5 | 2.50 @ B365

Combined odds: 10,62
Units: 1
