This year's game picks and selections will be limited to 7-8 plays per day on a maximum play card, using 1 unit rating for all games, 5 unit Game or Total of the Month, and 10 unit Game of the Year and Total of the Year.

I've debated and talked about this forever, now it's time to walk the walk and get back to what I do best like I did in the mid to late 1990's, which is probably when most of the cappers were in elementary school, LOL!!

GL this year everyone!!

Washington no pitching other than strassburg and Scherzer? Tanner Roarke 16-10 last yr. 34 starts 2.83 ERA. Gio Gonzalex may not be as good as he was but serviceable for sure. Joe Ross isnt bad. What team has two top starters and a third as a 16 game winner?

Max is Max, Stras is an injury away from being shut down once again, Gio is eratic as hell and has been dangled around with no takers the last 2 years by Rizzo and Roark? He had a career year last year so we'll see what he does this year. Joe Ross is young, he had some good moments last year, the key for the Nats this year will be their pen again and I'm not a big Rizzo guy but I like Dusty Baker. That division in the NLE this year will have a tough road to hoe for the Nats vs Mets and vs upcoming young Phils and Marlins bats, Braves will be improved. Overall health of Nats staff is my biggest reason to go under the amount of wins, I still see them winning the Division this year, I just don't see more than 89 wins although they had 95 last yr, they also had a better bullpen. My numbers came out to a 89-73 record for them, but I could be wrong!!

GL Robert!!

Flat bet yes, Bulldog.

4-1 as Rangers fail to bring in runners again from scoring position. +3.05 units.

Large card today with some weather possibly influencing the games down south and up east, not in the domes though.

Hit 5 out of 7, decent batting average for the day on Friday, +3.7 units back.

Decent card today, could be some bounces as opening day starters get their 2nd start, some off big losses some off wins..
