Winner
Well, didn't expect him to be that good (although he was mediocre @MIN), but I doubted more that he will keep it up for 200IP, still don't think he gets close to that many IP.
Only one for today:
SEA +0 (1st 5 Inn) +111 1unit
Elias looked good in spring training and his two regular season starts. TEX offense looks good on paper but has struggled a lot so far and will be missing one of their best (clutch) hitters in Beltre. They have been good so far vs lefties, but the loss of Beltre will hurt a lot (not just his production at the plate, also losing his presence in the lineup + his defense at 3rd). Lewis hasn't pitched in the Majors in years and the numbers from his minor league tune-up look pretty bad. Don't think that he will go deep, SEA should score some runs on him.
woow i finally hit somethinWinner

and good info, esp on lewis, didnt like tex much with beltre
Well, we'll see. Actually SEA didn't do anything vs Lewis in their two spring encounters, but imo that doesn't say too much. Lewis doesn't get many swings & misses anymore and TEX will see Elias for the first time. Even with scouting reports, that still should favor Elias here and Beltre out should push that line more towards +100 imo.
They still have Price & Archer at the top of their rotation, Hellickson/Cobb should be back by the end of may, early June, don't think it will affect the NYY under that much, but their playoff hopes took a huge hit for sure.
ATL looks like they still have enough pitching, division sucks so far, guess that under will be a loss even if I still think their offense is worse than most ppl think. OAK worries me most though, they keep winning close games even with Jim Johnson blowing and their starting pitching has been stellar, might still get to 90+ wins, but still lots of games to be played.
KC -1 -121 1unit
Ventura was great vs TAM, HOU lineup is bad + sees him for the 1st time and their freeswinging approach should play into his cards, too. KC offensively hasn't done anything so far, but I like their offense and they make contact, so just a question of time until they finally score some runs and Harrell so far was really bad, so why not break out for the 1st road win tonight? Line is pretty steep for a rookie on the road, but just like the matchup.
Might have another bet on TOR/MIN, just not sure yet if I go TOR team total over 4, over 4 1st 5 or over 8 full game...but some sort of over involving Hughes is probably going to be added...

Adding 0.5 units on KC-1, making that a 1.5unit play.
Plus:
TOR/MIN over 4 runs (1st 5 Inn) -106 1unit
Hughes has been subpar for quite some time now, even regressed so far in 2014 and his h2h numbers vs TORs current lineup look bad. Even though Target Field might help him today, TOR still should score on him and Morrow himself isn't the pitcher he once was: His velocity was up vs HOU and he looked way better than vs TB in his 1st outing, but that was against a bad HOU lineup and he still gave up 3 runs that day. MIN has been hitting surprisingly well so far, so don't see them being shut out, both should be good for 2-3 runs and on a "good" day Hughes might give up 4runs all by himself...

HUGHES is garbage, morrow impressed in last
good news already on kc first five heavy, will add more now. only can add harrell biggest fault [of many], control, should play into kc's strength, patience.
still believe atl is garbage and will show eventually, pitching way over there heads, weak schedule sofar.
perfect example of oak and their continued success, was chavez last nite, mediocre reliever suddenly becomes don sutton when inserted into their starting rotation. after awhile just dont question it and assume it makes sense.

Adding:
BOS -1 -110 1.5units
Red Sox slumping a bit, but Peavy has been really good so far, they still have a good offense and Erik Johnson has been beat up twice so far, could be a good spot for BOS to break out of their slump, esp. since they usually have a patient approach at the plate and EJ struggled with his control. Plus the Sox pen is bad and might have to pick up 3-4 innings here. Don't like being on another (rather steep) road favorite, but pretty much everything points towards BOS.
