First off, Good Luck to everyone this baseball season!

RECORD: 0-0
All plays will be for 1 unit if a dog and to win 1 unit if a favorite unless othewise noted.

Starting off with 2 plays for Monday, April 4. I may add games as I get more capped.

DETROIT -161 (BONDERMAN VS LIMA LISTED)
SEATTLE -106 (MOYER VS RADKE LISTED)


Both of these plays are similiar in that I'm going with the home teams with each of the home team's starters having had very
good springs while both team's opposing starters have had somewhat of a shaky spring.

Bonderman is sporting a 2.25 ERA this spring and has only given up 15 hits in 24 innings while NOT allowing any home runs. Keep in mind also that Bonderman has never allowed a home run to any player in the current Kansas City lineup. I expect Bonderman to keep improving this year much like he did last year from his previous rookie season.

Lima on the other hand, has been horrible this spring having allowed a whopping 32 hits in just 17.2 innings and has an ERA of 7.13. Lima has always been worse on the road in his career. Last year was really horrible for him on the road as he had an ERA of nearly 2.5 runs higher than when he pitched at Home.

The pitching matchup in the Seattle-Minny game is much like the one above. Moyer has looked great this spring only giving up 15 hits in 21 innings pitched, while Radke has only had a mediocre spring. He has had pretty good control, but has given up an alarming amount of hits (30 hits in just 20 innings pitched). Radke has also never won at Safeco in Seattle. He is 0-2 in 4 career starts.

Good luck! :thumb:

Thanks guys!



COLORADO -103 (KENNEDY VS WILLIAMS LISTED) (2 UNITS):

Going to make Colorado my best bet on the day for Monday. Bottom line in this game is that it's a major play against San Diego's starter Woody Williams. Williams has nothing but negative numbers in many categories today. Let's take a look:

1. Spring training numbers...not too impressive having a 7.20 ERA this spring and has given up 20 hits in 15 innings pitched.

2. Williams overall career numbers vs Colorado not impressive either. He's made 11 career starts and has a 6.52 ERA, allowing 100 hits in just 67.2 innings pitched which includes 17 home runs.

3. Williams numbers vs Colorado are MAGNIFIED bigtime when the games were pitched at Coors Field where this game is taking place today. In 19.2 innings pitched which covers 4 starts at Coors, he has a whopping 12.81 ERA and has given up an amazing 41 hits including 12 home runs. It's like Williams worst nightmare pitching there if you look at those numbers.

4. Williams lifetime ERA on the Road has always been higher...almost a full run higher over the course of his career (4.53 ERA on the Road vs 3.61 ERA at Home)

5. Williams will be pitching a Day game today and that is also a negative for him. His lifetime ERA during the Day is over a full run higher than his lifetime ERA at Night (4.90 ERA in Day games vs 3.69 ERA in Night games)



Good luck! :thumb:
