Really tough games today, tight lines. I have only one play for you.
Mariners -153 Risk $153 to Win $100 - It's going to be difficult to find value in the odds betting against the astro's this season, as the public know's they are awful. But believe it or not this is a spot where the Astro's are being overvalued. Let's call the first performance of each of these starting pitchers a Mirage. Mariners gifted rookie Maurer was ripped in Oakland in his Major League Debut. However, he was consistently great in the Minor's last season and lead all of the NL in spring training ERA. We can write that first performance off as a case of the Jitters and a tough spot to make his first start. Today, he is home and facing the worst lineup in baseball. He will be much better. On the other hand, Astro's starter Bedard was fantastic in his first outing throwing 3.1 innings of one hit ball against a dangerous Rangers lineup. However, he had an ERA over 5 last season and has been in steady decline the past few seasons. He won't repeat his first performance today. Mariners take this one as the Rookie pitcher impresses.
Good luck guys.

Only one play today, but it's a big one by my standards.
Oakland +111 Risk $450 to Win $500
For the life of me I can't comprehend why the Athletics are dogs here. Tommy Milone, a great young pitcher who has owned the Angels in two of his three starts vs Joe Blanton who doesn't own anyone.

4/11/13 Early Play (may add more later)
Giants -137 Risk $274 to Win $200 - This is another no brainer. First of all,we all know the Giants are a much better ball club then the chicago cubs. Cub's starter Feldman was awful last season in texas where he went 6-11 even with the mighty texas bat's supporting him. His ERA was over 5. His first start of this year wasn't any better as he was lit up against Atlanta. Vogelsong on the other hand had great comeback seasons in 2011 and 2012. He was roughed up in his first outing this year against St Louis but should be much improved vs the Cub's offense today. I don't expect a shutout from him, but he should be able to outpitch Feldman easily. The real value here is in the number. -137 is low enough to make us double up on this one. GL guys.
