Well, I'll give you 3 reasons:

1. The bats are due to wake up today after the first two games.

2. Eaton is very hittable.

3. The wind is blowing out today.

the bats haven't been asleep, there were 16 hits yesterday, 11 walks, 18 left on base wednesday, 17h, 7bb, 17 lob monday.

the wind is blowing out huh? is that as big an issue as it is in cincy? who do you think will come in for relief of Eaton? they threw 5 guys yesterday and 4 on monday.

gl to you on the yankees under. det/tor cancelled, what a bummer, was looking forward to some easy dough there.

Okay, maybe I shouldn't have said, "The bats are due to wake up today." What I meant to say was, these two teams are due to score some runs today. Yes, the wind blowing out at CBP is a huge issue! That place is a launching pad when the weather is fair. James and Eaton both might get whiplash today. I have no idea who will relieve Eaton, and I don't care. Whoever it is, he better be prepared to get hit too. Yeah, I was sorry to see Detroit/Toronto get postponed. Easy money in my opinion.

i don't know how applicable those trends from covers are to this season since we're two games in, but okay... guess what, bought it back, line had moved 10 points each side, i'm now a tenth of a unit winner either way, go braves! RTL where you from?

Dude, you should stick to your guns. Don't let others, including me, dissuade you from making a bet. I'm from Arlington, Virginia.

well, no, i can totally see the wind adding runs, we had 3 homers last night with the wind blowing in. i stick to my guns 99% of the time, but if i see merit in the other side i seek out the most info i can on it and when i see i could be wrong i can be cautious, rather lose the juice (not in this case :p) than lose the 2-unit play. especially when i'll be cheering the braves victory! :) thanks though. any of my plays you agree with solidly today?

Well, I will say one thing about your plays, you need to be careful about playing so much chalk. You don't have one dog on your card. I'm not saying you're wrong, but don't make a habit out of it. Based on your record, you seem to know what you're doing, so have confidence in your plays. I wish you the best of luck today, and every day this season!

well two of the plays are virtually even and i'm also playing but not posting the braves and reds, close to even one dog one fave. i didn't ask about them all together, i was saying do you have one that you like most? not looking for advice or help, just discussion to better us all.
