20-20-2 +46.80
No homer for hosmer and no win for KC, max bet today
10 pts Pittsburgh (-1.5) to bt LA Angels 2.30
Gerritt Cole is the best pitcher the Pirates have and has been doing an excellent job on the hill in recent starts, the Angels are not exactly a powerhouse of an offensive unit despite plating some runs in recent days. Hector Santiago will pitch for the Angels and the lefty has been disgustingly bad allowing 15 earned runs over his last three short starts, Pittsburgh have plenty of hitters who can do damage and hit lefties fairly well so I would expect Cole to keep it solid and Pittsburgh to have their way with Santiago in a blowout today
 
Good luck if you are playing today 

Nice tipping Dan.  

Your bank (units return) is wrong. You didn't add 20 units to your amount.

Congrats on the win with Bryce as well! I didn't get to bet on Bryce but I bet on Washington! Thanks!

11-14-2 +6.04
Well it didnt quite go to plan but a winners a winner
todays play is as follows
4 pts Bryce Harper to hit a Home Run and Washington to beat Miami 5.00 Paddy Power
Bryce is eligible to play in this game after appealing the suspension for his conduct and choice of language towards an umpire resulting in his ejection from a game the other day. I suspect Mr Harper will be playing quite angrily and with a chip on his shoulder in this game. This is quite bad news for Tom Koehler who Bryce has it SIX home runs against in his career, overall Koehler has allowed 10 home runs in the 29 innings he has pitched in this ballpark. I genuinely believe the only way Bryce doesnt take one deep here is if the Marlins adopt the Cubs policy of just walking him every single plate appearance (I hope not!!!) I am fairly confident of the Washington win as Gio Gonzalez has been pitching much better this year and the Miami bats are less effective against left handed pitchers such as Gonzalez, for those of you that want a safer play just go with the run line, but I am quietly confident on this one as Bryce Harper has a flair for the spectacular.
 
best of luck if you are having a play today 

12-14-2 +22.04
7th inning blast from Bryce was an absolute delight!!!!
Todays play is
6 pts Houston @ Boston Over 9.5 Total Runs 1.86 Bet365
Both pitchers Bucholz and McHugh are struggling and have allowed 4+ runs on at least 4 occasions each, the face lineups that are blessed with plenty of power and there are fairly strong winds forecast blowing towards the outfield to assist the hitters at Fenway today. The two teams combined to exceed this number last night and I would expect that these two lineups can clear this number with time to spare.
 
Best of luck if you are playing today 

Slow or not, you're gaining which is the most important. 

Thank you for your great previews and predictions. Win or lose, thank you for your time and help.

9-13-2 -3.86
 
bad run but a max bet tonight
10pts Over 9 runs Milwaukee @ Cincinnati 1.95 Bet365
We have two terrible pitchers in Chase Anderson (ERA 10+ last 3 starts) and Alfredo SImon (13+ ERA this yr) facing off against each other in a hitters ballpark Great American Ballpark with forecast winds blowing out to right field assisting the hitters further which shouldnt be necessary in this matchup. Both lineups have proved capable of scoring runs as teh Reds showed with 7 against Jake Peavy and the Giants under similar circumstances yesterday and Milwaukee put some big numbers up at home last week against sub standard Angels pitching. 9 looks far too low to me today.
 
Best of luck if you are having a play today 

Thanks for the welcome!
Ok i will try to give a small factors why i pick these matches in the future.
I will also mention the bookies for all of my bets in the future, but i will only use pinnacle, sbo, 5dimes and 188.
 

7-6-1 +22.70
 
another comfortable win and a strong play tonight
10 pts Washington (-1.5) to beat Philadelphia 2.10 Bet365
The Nationals bats have woken up with 23 runs in the last 3 games and they face Charlie Morton who had a good start last time out versus an inept San Diego Padres lineup but was hit hard by a below average Cincinnati reds lineup the first start. Morton looks likely to experience issues with Bryce Harper and Daniel Murphy today as he has issues against left handed batters and this is a problem against two of the hottest hitters in the game. Harper reigning NL MVP has hit a home run each of the last 3 nights and Murphy leads the league in batting average with a .438 mark at this early stage. Gio Gonzalez goes for the Nats and was outstanding first time up, Gonzalez isnt always consistent but this is not a Phiilies lineup that boasts a lot of run production and even if Gonzalez isnt on his game today then its hard to imagine the Nats not winning, lets just hope the relief pitching holds up today as well, they have won by 7 and 8 the last 2 nights
 
Good luck if you are playing today 

4-6-1 +5.70
Well only 6 runs last night so on to todays play
4 pts Philadelphia Phillies (-1.5) to bt San Diego Padres 2.75 Bet365
I must be feeling ill taking the Phillies!!! In all seriousness they wanted Velasquez in the trade with Houston that sent closer Ken Giles the other way and Velasquez delivered with an excellent performance his first time out for Philly. Now he gets to take on the light hitting San Diego Padres who ended a 20 inning scoreless streak with a late run last night. This from a team that also got shut out three consecutive times to start the year. Drew Pomeranz pitches for SD and is average at best though his career numbers are a little skewed by having started for Colorado for a few seasons. There is a little reliance on the Phillies actually scoring some runs and their bullpen keeping a lead in tact tied up in this bet but realistically against the Friars there is a strong possibility that 3 runs will bring this in
 
Best of Luck if you play today

Nice bet that Dan!

Thought the BoSox were going to get there when they came back but alas they couldnt recover from the horseshit served up by Bucholz
Todays main selection
 
4pts Baltimore Orioles (-1.5) to beat Minnesota Twins 2.50 Bet365
Minnesota have struggled to score runs in this series and Baltimore have taken both games despite being a power filled home run heavy offense against ground ball pitchers sent to the hill by the Twins. Tonight they get to face Minnesotas Phil Hughes who historically has struggled with allowing homers. If Minnesotas bats dont wake up, and they have struggled in the past against Ubaldo Jiminez the O's pitcher this evening then this could be a blowout
 
Good luck all playing today

Hey slizorn, yeah I didnt have the time to post much last year in the end and if I am going to do so I am going to try and do the best I can, will be hoping to stick a selection a day up in here for all the crew that were following me until my disappearance last season. Had a good day with all the tips I put out yesterday including the Dodgers so onwards and up
 
So that takes us to
 
1-1 +3.00 on the thread

Todays main selection
4 pts Boston Red Sox (-1.5) to beat Cleveland Indians 3.30 Bet365
Carlos Carrasco is up for Cleveland tonight and they have high hopes that he steps up to the elite next level in Cleveland this year to develop the 1-2 punch of Kluber and Carrasco. His worst month of the season is April though and the last 3 years he has gone 2-6 with a 6.70 ERA in 9 April starts - not good. Clay Bucholz was just about the only highlight in the atrocity that was the Red Sox pitching last year and then he got hurt. If he is as effective now as he was then, with the ay the Red Sox seemingly got on base at will against the excellent Kluber yesterday then they could make an absolute nonsense of this price.
 
Good luck all who have a play today!!!! 

Welcome back mate, good to see you around again Dan!

so 0-1 -4.00 the season thus far
 
the pesky rain got involved and my perceived edge on the starters evaporated with the clouds as relief pitching took over after 2 innings 
Main play today is
5 pts LA Dodgers (-1.5) to beat San Diego Padres 2.40 Bet365
The Dodgers destroyed the Padres last night and Kazmir will pitch tonight, despite not having beaten the Friars in his career, only a couple of starts against them, he is solid. He will be opposed by James Shields who if not for Pablo Sandoval may have signed the worst contract in baseball last season. He led MLB in HRs allowed last year even managing to allow 19 at cavernous PETCO Park. Unless he has turned it all around in the offseason he may well get hit in this game as well as the Dodgers appear to be swinging the lumber very well. Wouldnt put you off buying some runs on the alternate run lines either
