From now on going to keep the journey to go pro in my sig and do a daily thread and track my record for each sport individually. Only MLB play I had is $300 on the Phillies which isn't looking good at all needless to say. Been working on this card for a while and I may add to a few of these if I get more value when Matchbook has stuff out. For now this is what I will be on:
$650 to Win $500
Padres -130
Played At: Pinnacle
Jake Peavy is just filthy and coming off of an injury plagued year last year I think we see a rebound today. They go at home against Kuroda who I really don't think is worthy of being a #1 in the MLB. Somehow 90% of the public has found themselves on the Dodgers and going against Peavy, interesting.
$500 to win $590
Rangers +118
Played At: 5 Dimes
Really like the Rangers as a sleeper this year. They have a bunch of proven hitters who are still young and I think Josh Hamilton is in store for a monster year. The Rangers have Milwood on the hill who I have read from several people is pitching for a contract. They go at home against Cliff Lee who lets not forget was nothing special before an amazing year last year. I really think Cliff Lee comes back down to earth this year and will gladly take this value against a overrated Indians club.
$505 to win $500
Blue Jays/Tigers Under 7.5 (-101)
Played At: Pinnacle
All reports I heard say that Justin Verlander is getting closer to his dominant 07 form and if so he can be in for a bounce back year. We all know about Halladay. Not to mention one of the Blue Jays favorite hobbies last year was not getting Doc run support. The Tigers do have a lineup capable of scoring but Roy should be able to neutralize them.
$500 to win $705
Athletics +141
Played At: 5 Dimes
First time over the card I thought I may like the Angels but this line is too high. The reports of Joe Saunders dead arm should scare everyone off of the Angels until they can see for themselves what he looks like. I like the A's this year and they finally have some pop in their line up. Wide open AL West should have the A's motivated enough and with Saunders arm problems I just have to take some nice value here.
