Kansas City(+118) at Chicago White Sox(-126)
This game seems to be attracting alot of bets on the over 8 total which was originally set to 7.5 but was moved up because of all the bets coming in. I believe the wind is blowing out today but I'm not sure it will be enough since both clubs will be going up against some decent pitching. The Royals starter Gil Meche has been known to shut teams down from time to time and the same can be said for Sox starter Mark Buehrle, even though Buehrle has a bad habit of imploding in early innings. With that in mind it is still too early to determine who's pitching will be solid and who's offense will thrive in the cold weather this early in the season. I like to think the Sox are still a better team and until K.C. starts showing they are not cellar dwellers i will continue to fade them.
Betting On: Chicago Moneyline(-126)
Final Score:
Kansas City 2
Chicago 4 (win)(+1.00 units)

Tampa Bay(+139) at Boston(-147)
This game was postponed yesterday, so here's the write up taken from yesterdays blog post:
Welcome back everyone, this is my favorite time of year when the boys of summer get back into the swing of things. Well for my first play of the year i focus my attention to the rematch of last years American League Championship series between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Boston Red Sox. I'm riding the home team in this game, but i am very concerned about starting pitcher Josh Beckett's health(word is still out on how effective he will actually be). I believe even if he struggles the Red Sox should have enough offense to carry the team over the Rays at Fenway. Tampa's starter James Shields has not had the greatest of luck in Boston the last few years and I also believe that the Rays will actually take a step back this year. I have noticed alot of teams who are in the world series the previous year usually struggle or get off to slow starts the next year, but there have been exceptions to this theory In the past. I just don't see Tampa Bay sneaking up on anyone this year, as a matter of fact i believe they have a huge bulls eye on their chests because they are the American League Champs after all and everyone will be gunning for them. Red Sox get it done with their offense, and get some revenge on the Rays for eliminating them from post season last October.
I have changed my mind on this game and went from betting the moneyline yesterday to betting the runline instead.
Betting On: Boston Runline(-1.5)(+135)
Final Score:
Tampa Bay 3
Boston 5 (win)(+1.35 units)

Detroit(+101) at Toronto(-109)
I like the Jays offense in this game to score some runs off Tigers starter Edwin Jackson. I also think the Tigers should get their fair share of hits and runs, so with that being said I really like the over in this contest. I expect the Tigers to put a little more effort offensively tonight along with the Jays, plus I'm not really sure how well both pitchers will do considering they both have had command issues in the past.
Betting On: Detroit/Toronto Over 9.5(-105)
Final Score:
Detroit 4
Toronto 5 (lost)(under 9.5)(-1.05 units)
MLB
10:05 pm(est)
Oakland(+100) at L.A. Angels(-108)
I think the A's breakout tonight, they also have a rookie pitcher that has never faced the Angels before, so i give the advantage to Oakland. Not much handicapping here, just a gut feeling I have and will ride with the Athletics tonight.
Betting On: Oakland Moneyline(+100)
Final Score:
Oakland 6 (win)(+1.00 units)
L.A. Angels 4
Betting On: Chicago Moneyline(-126)
