Great stuff, I'll be following you all season 

My only counter would be the Pirates run line, was looking at Wainwright's career numbers off this Pitt lineup, and the only bat that is near a threat is Reynolds.  I feel it might be more than a one-run game.

Def riding with the Brew-crew to get this season started.

Here's to a good season brother!

Update:  Judge is not in the lineup today, but I would still take Yankees at -130 as good value, I could make the case this is the Rays home opener but there'll be more Yankees fans at Tropicana Field than Rays

Went 2-1 yesterday, only looking for what I perceive as value picks (understanding that others might not agree as to what they'd interpret as value). 

Here are my early picks for today:

Yankees -130:  Kluber coming off ok start, threw a lot of pitches against a dangerous Jays lineup, should have easier time around with a weaker Rays 1 thru 9, Hill struggled last start and coming against Marlins makes that even worse.  Assuming Judge is confirmed to play, I think this line goes up

I'm keeping my eye on the Rockies and the +143 once the lineup comes out.  They're using an opener today, and with Gray going 7 yesterday they're bullpen wasn't exhausted as much.  Cueto was terrible at home last year and against the Rocks, plus SF lineup is struggling.  

Thanks bud!

2-1 for the day. 

Arietta and Anderson was basically the same outcome from their first match-up last week.  I didn't expect Gray to be that dominant, but then again Zona lineup is struggling and Kelly has been bad, good value there for the Rocks.

Harvey struggled a bit, I took O's as good value moreso because I thought Rodriguez was going to be rusty after such a long layoff.

Some early value picks I like:

CUBS -135:  Arietta beat Anderson and PIT last week, Hayes was only big bat in PIT lineup and he's been injured,

ORIOLES +140:  Rodriguez hasn't pitched since 2019 coming off arm fatigue, Harvey came off ok outing, BAL has dominated Sox early in the season...I get BAL was in extra innings last night and then had to travel back, but BOS also traveling as well (could be UNDER play today)

ROCKIES -120:  I think Rock should be a larger favorite here, Gray notoriously good at Coors, Marte is out for DBACKS, Kelly last time he pitched at Coors in '19 got rocked

Like the Toronto pick, that line looked a little fishy with the O’s playing better and Cobb having decent stats and being an underdog...that’s my hint to take the Jays

With you on Oklahoma KS!

New to the forum...look forward to chattin’ with my sports handicappers.

Magic -7

GL Retburj...I was thinking about Pels earlier, but I'm overthinking this line and am going to sit this one out

i agree, i don't see Lebron losing to Ja and now Zion, even if it's on B2B.  I think Vegas is hoping public overreacts to AD being out and jumping on Pels

You picking the Pelicans?  Line's moved to NO at -1.5, or is this a Vegas trap and Lakers still win?

Glad USF didn’t disappoint...

Going with Northeastern -5

South Florida +3.5

USF has covered the last several trips to Philly, the game total suggests closer game than many may expect; and I think USF has held it's own against better opponents their last several road games.

New Orleans +9

Oakland +3.5

Wofford -1.5

Hampton -6.5

It’s all for charity, they’ll make sure Giannis’ charity gets prize money...so if you can bet for 2Q then put your money on it

I'm taking the over on this one.  Ross is coming back from forearm soreness, I'm not convinced he's fully healed, and his last start prior to the injury he was roughed up.  Nats bullpen should play a role, I know they've been awful this year, but last 10 days they haven't fared much better putting them 21st in team bullpen era.

I want to take Ohio as well, but line is down to +4....should I still take it?

Feel like good odds here with Sabalenka at -160.  She’s one of the best this year on hard courts.

Any reason to fear the favored odds?

1pm games:
