I've lurked a little while, and I finally got enough courage to make my first post. We'll see what happens and you can decide whether you want to fade me or ignore my picks.

So for the picks, largest to smallest here we go:

All bets are on Bookmaker/BetCris

Brewers +1.5 (-175)
175
Last night the brewers consistently thrashed the Cubs throughout the whole game, and I think they can do it again, so I like this bet.

Nationals +1.5 (-145)
72.50
The Nationals have a good streak going and I think they'll continue winning against the Phillies. Last night they only won by 1, but scored in the 6th and left 12 men on, so I'm thinking their bats were just not able to convert since they had a little time off since their opener.

Astros/Padres Over 8.5 (-110)
$22
This is my smallest play for today, only $22 risked. The Astros are my team and I'd like to see them win, but I think this will be a high scoring game considering the first 3 of the series, so I put a little on that.



update:
Well, that was certainly painful, tells you how volatile a game can be, especially at the start of the season, but I guess they wouldn't call it gambling if there wasn't a risk.
