So It Begins!

The long awaited event of opening night in the NFL is upon us and is considered the beginning of the busy season. This is the most rewarding time of the year for a bettor and a capper. It's a long season...remember the tired old cliche.....It's a marathon not a race!!

Just wanted to expand on today's pick of the White Sox over the Twins. I liked Jake Peavey to take command after an emabarrassing loss on Tuesday night in which the Sox gave up 18 runs. Good teams and good pitchers usually come back with a chip on their shoulder the next day and that's exactly what they did winning 6-2.

In our loss I was real surprised at the second bad outing in a row from Adam Wainwright as he gave up 5 early runs to the Mets and the Cardinals could not figure out the knuckle ball from Dickey. Wainwright typically comes back real strong after a bad outing especially at home. Many times the correct pick just loses.  Just part of the betting lifestyle. Good luck tonight as we kickoff the busy season!

VALUE!!

I will try to do write ups on picks that may seem a little out of the ordinary.  No reason to do so when a pick is obvious.  Today I just wanted to discuss my pick on Sunday which was Miami over Milwaukee ML (+125).  Milwaukee was throwing a rookie pitcher Fiers whom has not been real solid as of late.  Miami pitched Nolasko.  He is coming off of a shutout and pitches pretty decent at home.  With the trending of both of these pitchers I really felt like this line was pretty far off and presented great value.  Rookie pitchers are starting to hit the wall over the league and Fiers is no different.  I generally like to stay within the 140's (+140 to -140) on the ML.  The value comes into play when a matchup should be outside of this range but is subsequently put between these #'s.
