HERE WE GO! BASEBALL TIME
Posted 04/04/2012
on:the baseball kicks off FOR REAL tonight and the first game of the regular season (in america) is the St Louis Cardinals against the Miami Marlins.. Yes… indeed, its now the MIAMI Marlins and not the Florida Marlins anymore.
Apart of a new $200million stadium they have also splashed the cash on a lot fo new players AND Ozzie Guillen as a coach from the White Sox…
The Cardinals are without their long term manager (Tony La Russa decided to retire after winning it all) and they need to deal without magnificient hitter Albert Pujols who decided to take the $100 million extra or so he could get in LA wit the Angels.
This is the first official game in the Marlins new Stadium and both teams have a real chance of getting back into the playoffs.
The changes will work out well for miami this year and I have to see them winning this game. There is no value in the 5/9 to win the game but 6/5 for the Marlins –1,5 is value.
there should also be lots runs scored tonight and I can see the line move out a bit form the current 7,0 runs. BOTH pitchers have NO problems giving up plenty of runs and I can see 11 or 12 runs in this game even though its opening day which is generally pretty tight. Over 7.0 at 10/11 is the play here.
As mentioned ST Louis is able to score runs even without Pujols and OVER 3,5 runs is worth a small bet at 27/20.
The first scoring play could happen in the home half of the second inning so take the 13/2 on that outcome.
good luck everyone
