I am on Yanks,Col, and Clev.  The other two I couldn't decide on.

Colorado is the line that jumped out at me, two decent pitchers starting.  SD hasn't been a juggernaught scoring runs.  As long as Volquez keeps the walks down I like the under and I am on it.

thank you Chasweedwards.   i like texas alot for the fact Yarvish was 1 out away. he may be determined to try to get it back.  The othe rpitcher for houston is good to last 2 quality starts.  any suggestion on that.  The one bet i am worried is maybe yankees because at anytime they can score tons of points and i'm not familiar with Richards the opposing pitcher.

When playing unders you might want to consider playing them 1st 5 innings rather than full game.  That way you're more closely betting on the starting pitchers, and don't have to worry as much about the relievers screwing you in the late innings....

the problem is my bookie is in a back of a damn grocery store and he takes O/U complete games and spreads straight up. but I dont bet high amounts to make a good portions so -175 i would have to bet that to make $100.  your right. do you recommend any websites..

5dimes is definitely one of the best if you're a US resident

I like the OVER in the A's/Jays game. Going over 9.5 IMO.

As a Canadian resident I've had quick payouts with Bet365, avoid everything non-sports related on this site (especially Casino bonuses).

I have Texas ML in a parlay with the early game in Toronto.  The over/under is 7 at +105 on 365, I would lean the under but have no 
money on it.  The pitching matchup appears great.

I have heard good things about 5 Dimes as well.  Last time I checked I didn't like the deposit options for Canadians (over a year ago).  Either way I have never met a local bookie that can compete with betting on-line.

My parlay is:

Tex ML
Oak ML
Oak Over 

I do a lot of in-play bets to cover off positions.

guys...so based on my first thread... should i focus on Tex, yanks, cleve, and col (all under)...  If anybody thinks that is a bad choice please let me know why. i'm new to betting baseball...i'm into Basketball and football...so i'm not great on the players and stuff..but would it be a terrible pick on those i just mentioned.

I like Yankees under, and like Colorado Under even more.  
 
My three teamer had a good start, first Oak batter homerun.  Now I get to curse 8.5 scoreless innings.  Hahaha.
