Opening Day
After an opening night blowout by the Yankees, that saw npoc nail 2 out of 3 picks, (the side and moneyline but not the total), MLB is getting into full swing

I really cannot stand baseball but nobody will really be paying attention to them today with the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP at stake in college basketball

I will be heading over to PBC Park shortly, to work and soak in the atmosphere, the place is only this electric for days once a year

Oliver Perez is on the mound, so no worries about a loss, he gives each and every pirate fan hope every time he steps on the mound
So my first play of the day, Pirates -128 (in baseball I bet the moneylines, that means that to win 100 you have to risk 128, and the Pirates are favorites, if you see the Brewers +120 that means you have to risk 100 to win 120)
Perez owns the Brewers batting lineup and today should be a breeze as long as the Pirates can put together 2 scoring innings and Mesa looks like 1st half of the season Mesa

2 units
Toronto -119
the poor devil rays have brazelton as their opening day starter, Halladay cant be stopped
Washington +122
this pick is on some inside info from Tassa, he has them winning it all this year, actually I like the value with them being underdogs against Jon Lieber in Philthy
Arizona +118
The Cubs and Carlos Zambrano are SOOO overate, giving us excellent value to take the Dbacks at home with Vazquez on the mound
Seattle -106
At home against my world series pick, the twins, but they do have radke on the mound, except alot of runs too
Seattle and Minn. Over 8.5

All the over/unders are either 8.5 or 9
except Coors Field
The over/under in todays game (with both startings being staff aces) is 12.5
Im laying off of it though

NCAA Championship
-St.Louie, Louie
I am doubling up alllll my tourney winnings on this one play
A little insider info and a little going against the public
10********** North Carolina -2
I know I always warn against betting overboard in championship games when you should treat them as any other, but I cannot help myself today

This line should keep getting better til around 5pm tonight when the wiseguys should strike and unload everything they've got on the Tarheels, so watch it keep dropping then hop on it and then look at the sportsbooks scramble and jack it back up to -3


Pittsburgh Pirates 0-0
At PBC Park 0-0
Tied for First Place in NL Central
