Nationals +107 Risk $93.46 to Win 100 - I always like to play against a team that had a huge offensive explosion in their previous game. In this case, Cincy had 15 and Washington was shut out. Plus, I'll take Detwiler and his 3.0 ERA against the Reds over Leake and his 5.13 ERA against the Nats. Not to mention Leake struggled mightily in spring training. To top it all off, have to love the Nationals as a dog here.
Mariners -135 Risk $135 to Win $100 - King Felix at only -135 going up against a guy that had an ERA of over 5.0 last season. Enough Said.
Rockies -143 Risk $143 to Win $100 - First of all, the padre's are downright awful at the plate. I was lucky enough to be on the right side of their one win this season and it was an ugly 2-1 victory that was hard to watch. The Rockies on the other hand have some offensive weapons that they displayed last season and so far this year. Tyson Ross starting for the Padres and in his two full seasons he has an ERA above 5.0. Last year he was at 6.5. Garland starting for Colorado didn't play at all last season recovering from shoulder surgery. Garland is a consistent pitcher when healthy and he can be relied on to be at about the 3-4.0 ERA range. And as we know, the padre's bats don't blow anyone away and I think he will pitch a solid game.
