Daddy's MLB Friday (3.23)

[Daddy Diego]

Still spreading it around. Been hittin a majority of my favorable plays. So today I'm playin em all. Here's the morning batch. Afternoon picks to follow.

No Plays...

NY @ PITT - Not touching Chacon goin against his old team.
LAD @ FLA - Lowe is solid, so is Sanchez. Not sure bout his elbow. Dodgers stone cold... who knows when they'll wake up.

PICKS

TIGERS (-125) = *1.25 Units
- Robertson is dominant this spring. (12 IP, 8 H, 1 ER, 6 BB, 12 K)
- Patterson coming off a short season with arm surgery. Pitchin minor league games this spring. Nats are playin a little above their level I think.

BRAVES (+100) = *1 Unit
- Davies got an inning last night and is fightin for a rotation spot. Braves got a little swagger back in their step yesterday behind Smoltzy.
- Happ was supposed to be No. 4 or No. 5 starter. So far, don't think so.

ORIOLES (+115) = *1 Unit
- Bedard is smoking this spring named opening day starter. (14 IP, 8 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 13 K)
- Schilling is getting old and fat, don't think he's going to waste his juice in spring training.

TWINS (-130) = *1.3 Units
- Chacin fresh off his DUI isn't anything special this spring.
- JOHAN. Nuff Said.
- 10 Inning loss last night, usually plays into a rebound game. (Working on calculating percentage)

CARDS (+105) = *1 Unit
- Not sure why Cards aren't favored in this one, Looper has been solid. His only bad start this spring was his second against a powerful Atlanta squad. St. Louis has one of the best spring bullpens.
- El Dueque is not doin well this spring. Mets coming off an Atlanta pummeling.

Liking the Twins myself. GL!

[Daddy Diego]

Quickly here, the afternoon games...

A's (-125) = *1.25 Units

CUBBIES (-130) = *1.3 Units

[Daddy Diego]

Bad start. Lost 3 of those games by 1 run. Minnesota lost it in the 9th again!! Orioles also lost it in the 9th. St. Louis lost it in the 8th... bad break kinda day.

A's & Cubbies should redeem me, and this one might put me over the top...


ASTROS (+110) = *1.5 Units
- Definite value with Oswalt on the mound against Paul Byrn. Oswalt has been in solid form this spring. (14 IP, 17 H, 7 ER, 1 BB, 15 Ks)

[Caesar]

I decided to ride with you on the Twins and damned if they didn't blow it. That how it goes though, isn't it? I have seen some crazy sh** happen, especially when lengthy parlays are involved.

[Daddy Diego]

Don't feel happy sitting 4-4 on the day. Might be the greed makin me do this, but solid a Rangers performace this Spring against Zach Jackson isn't being greedy. Sheets might get some time today but after getting shelled his last outing I like the mindset of the Rangers coming off a their free day and back at home.

RANGERS (-130) = *1 Unit

[Caesar]

Way to ring them in, Daddy!

[Daddy Diego]

(5-4) +0.87 Units
