So I put a little cash down on the 17th to test out my math and have some fun on the Spring Training games, playing around with different money management systems.

Since then, I'm 31-14. Hitting games at a .689 clip. Spring games seem to have fantastic odds, if you're willing to check out MLB.com's team pages in the morning to see who's pitching. I'm almost sad that the regular season is starting soon.

Do you guys play Spring games? Are they notoriously this easy to call, with friendly odds? (I got Johan Santana today at -130 against the Jays. They lost, but that's still an incredible discount)

I have not gotten into baseball yet but am about ready to. Nice record so far. Post any good plays you see Sat. and I will look for them.

the lines seem pretty tight today. Only two plays.

I've got
NYY -180
PHI +110

OAK is a very, very slight edge, but well below what I'd bet it at.

0-1 yesterday. All the split squad games made it a short list for plays.

Anyway, today:
CLE +110
ATL -150
NYM -130
BOS -150
PHI -120

3-2 yesterday. Damn Indians can't field a single and cost me a sizeable amount of cash.

My plays for today:
ATL +110
BOS (huge, huge play - Kelly says 46% of bankroll) -115
TB +145
DET -160
NYM -125
SEA +115
SD -135

Also, noticing a lot more line movement today than earlier in the spring. More people are playing, which means my odds should pick up.

3-4 Yesterday. Only my third down day out of 10 since I started charting this stuff, so not too bad. Granted, it ended up being awful since Daisuke threw 5 no-hit innings and the Red Sox still lost. Took a big hit there.

Today, there are 10 plays:
CLE +110
FLA +115
STL -130
BOS -160
TB +140
ANA -135
CHC -140
SD +110
PHI -125
NYM -120

If I continue to post plays over the course of the season, you're going to see me play the same team over and over, just because my system sees them as being better than vegas does. Looks like this year, it's going to be San Diego, Tampa Bay, and Philadelphia.

I made a lot of money on Pittsburgh and KC in the second half of the season last year due to this.

With pitchers making their last spring starts, I should start seeing less variance in the system.

The stupid, stupid Indians once again snatched defeat from the jaws of winning me money, but overall the calculator went 7-3 yesterday. Not too bad at all.

Today's plays:
PIT +125 (the system seems to dislike the Reds)
TBA +145
CLE -130 (here we go again)
ARI +110
COL +115
MIL +105 (big play. Ben Sheets' last spring start)
SDN Even
NYY -160

LOVE 3 OF YOUR PLAYS AND I GOT 2 ADDED FOR MYSELF TODAY

TB +145

MIL +105

NYY -160


ADDED

SEA -125 (F. HERNANDEZ)

MIN -135 (SANTANA)

QUITE POSSIBLY THE BEST 2 PITCHERS IN AL THIS YEAR IN THEIR LAST TUNE UPS BEFORE SEASON IM ON BOARD

4-3 Yesterday. Another batch of split squad games, meaning a lot less lines to work with.

5 plays today:
CLE (is it funny yet?) +115
NYY -115 (a caveat here, TOR does not have a starting pitcher. This is a game pitched entirely by the bullpen, according to MLB.)
PHI -105
FLA -110
MIN +110

we couldnt disagree more im on the opposite of everything you got today except the yankees only because there bullpin is way stronger then the jays

Good one Barry! It will be interesting to see what happens when the line ups are predictable.

3-0 yesterday, with 2 ties. Apparently, ties are like kissing your sister, but I don't have a sister, so I tried it on someone else's. I apparently like ties.

Today's eleven plays:
NYY +105
TBA +150
CLE! -130
NYM -140
BAL -140
SDN -125
TEX -130
KCA +135
OAK +110
CHC -125
LAA +110

Yesterday was apparently Opposite Day. I wore my shirt backwards, my girlfriend cooked instead of me, and my picks went 3-6.

Here are todays, with 15 minutes to spare:
MIL +125
BAL -105
BOS -105
NYY -155
KCA +140
SEA -110
OAK +110
SDN +115
CLE +110
