Friday MLB

[BetATL]

Cubs @ Cardinals - 3:35 P.M. EST

St. Louis' home opener with trimmings of a World Series celebration. I'm high on Wainwright this year and think he'll handle this Cubs offense tomorrow. Smardzjia looked good in his first start of the season. Cards bats have been hot lately but believe they might start to cool. May look at an under play here.

Pirates @ Giants - 4:35 P.M. EST

Giants home opener. Giants struggling right now w/ a 1-4 record. Pirates bats really struggling right now and have to believe Cain will bounce back at home after a rough first start. No interest in laying that price with the Giants right now though and no real opinion on the total either. May look towards under closer to the game.

Mets @ Phillies - 7:05 P.M. EST

Mets offense struggling without Wright, who should be out again. Lee is dominant against the Mets so certainly not going against him here. No interest in total either at 6.5. Will most likely not get involved with this one.

Reds @ Nationals 7:10 P.M. EST

Zimmerman had one good start and one not so good star against the Reds last year. Arroyo isn't anything special but believe he can keep them in this one and I like the Reds bullpen. Would like to see Phillips in the lineup if I am going to back the Reds, may wait till tomorrow to see if that happens.

Astros @ Marlins 7:10 P.M. EST

Should be an interesting game with the whole Ozzie fiasco taking center stage. Not much history here with Nolasco and a young Houston team. Houston is playing scrappy right now though and the Marlins just seems a bit off. May play Houston here.

Brewers @ Braves - 7:35 P.M. EST

Braves home opener. Braves with 2 wins in a row after losing 4 straight. Chipper's return to the lineup has helped turned things around and looks to have provided a spark. Wolf has struggled against the Braves historically. Some key Brewers with good numbers against Jurrjens. Will be on the Over 7.5 in this one.

D'Backs @ Rockies - 8:40 P.M. EST

Rockies bats busted out Wednesday night after struggling early on. Line opened at Rockie -120 but has since moved sharply down almost to a pick. Actually like the Rockies if the line keeps moving and I can get them as a home dog. D'Backs playing good ball right now but have a late game tonight in San Diego and then will have to travel.

Padres @ Dodgers - 10:35 P.M. EST

Dodgers and Dads open up a 3 game set. As usual, Padres bats are struggling. Dodgers playing good ball right now. Both these pitchers faced the opposing team just last week so advantage hitters here. Richard won that battle has Harrang got hit hard against his old team and the Dodgers lost 8-4. May back San Diego here but believe the line will rise a bit so going to wait.
