MLB Handicaps: Opening Day
Credit: MLB
If H+R+RBI is unavailable to you then I suggest you split a 1 unit bet 33% each or whatever % you’d like to 1 or 2 hits, 1 run & 1 RBI. You should get + money on 2/3 of those and that will help long term. Or find a way to pair them up in 2’s or 3’s (parlay). For baseball season, I personally bet 1 unit to win X and don’t lay more than -165. These plays also work great with PrizePicks. Questions? Just ask!
MLB Units for March/April (0.00 units)
Early Slate
2:00pm cst: Los Angeles Angels (+154) vs. Baltimore Orioles (-185); Total 7.5
This is actually a decent pitching matchup but the Orioles offense is just too strong. Because the price is too high with the Orioles I found some nice props to attack. I do not like laying -1.5 runs but I will try it here because we are getting + money. New season, what the hell
Pick: Orioles -1.5 (+110) [via DraftKings]
Pick: Anthony Santander H+R+RBI OVER 1.5 (-115) [via DraftKings]
3:00pm cst: New York Yankees (+130) vs. Houston Astros (-155); Total 8.5
This may be a pitching duel between Nester Cortes and Framber Valdez. Let’s back the pitchers in this one.
Pick: Framber Valdez OVER 5.5 Strikeouts (-115) [via DraftKings]
Pick: Nester Cortes OVER 4.5 Strikeouts (-105) [via DraftKings]
3:00pm cst: Pittsburgh Pirates (+110) vs. Miami Marlins (-130); Total 7.5
We have a great pitching matchup between Mitch Keller and Jesus Luzardo. I give the edge to Luzardo at this price but I expect a close low scoring game.
Pick: Marlins (-130) [via DraftKings]
3:00pm cst: San Francisco Giants (-112) vs. San Diego Padres (-108); Total 7.5
The Giants will have Logan Webb on the mound against Yu Darvish. Darvish has struggled against the Giants and at a pick ‘em spread I like the Giants and their newly built team.
Pick: Giants (-112) [via DraftKings]
Evening Slate
6:00pm cst: Chicago Cubs (+102) vs. Texas Rangers (-122); Total 8.5
The reigning World Series Champions the Texas Rangers will be ready to defend their title and that starts against the Cubs. Nathan Eovaldi will be on the mound for Texas. I think this is a light line for Eovaldi and the Ranges offense. I will also be backing the sensational rookie from Florida, Wyatt Langford, in his debut.
Pick: Rangers (-122) [via DraftKings]
Pick: Wyatt Langford H+R+RBI OVER 1.5 (+100) [via DraftKings]
Night Slate
9:00pm cst: Cleveland Guardians (-142) vs. Oakland Athletics (+120); Total 7.5
Many people will probably look to fade the Athletics this season but they are starting to put together a young lineup with some talent. I will be looking to find plus money opportunities with the A’s.
Pick: Brent Rooker H+R+RBI OVER 1.5 (+125) [via DraftKings]
Pick: Zach Gelof H+R+RBI OVER 1.5 (+110) [via DraftKings]
9:00pm cst: Boston Red Sox (+130) vs. Seattle Mariners (-155); Total 7.5
Pick: Cal Raleigh H+R+RBI OVER 1.5 (-105) [via DraftKings]
Pick: Triston Casas H+R+RBI OVER 1.5 (+125) [via DraftKings]
