Mavin's MLB Contest

Question to all the handicappers here. When it comes to teams traveling what are you looking for to help handicapp the games?

The traveling roadies no matter the lineup hotness, usually cant hit that 1st game, ive been documenting these patterns.  [/Quote

Thanks for the input!  Will keep a eye out for those scenarios

distance and time change also is a factor

SD Padres  ML  +107

Under 7  ATL Braves - WAS Nationals  +100

MIL Brewers  ML  -110

Went against my own personal rules and added a late bet yesterday.

I think Wood is overvalued here.  If the line originally came out at CHI Cubs -115, that would have been right.  The movement of this line and opening number reminds me of Phillies yesterday.

Harper and Werth should be out tonight.  I don't think ATL bats are as hot as they seemed against Stras and Gio.  Don't think Braves will have to score too many to support Medlen.  Lots of $$ coming in on Over 7.5 and line dropped to 7.

This line seems to be set for Cardinal bets to come in.  I'll take the home team, staying at home, and coming off a loss.
