Rudy's 2012 MLB Rants

Rudy's 2012 MLB Rants What did we learn yesterday and Wednesday night? - Marlins Field is a canyon with absurd dimensions with fences too high. Give them a year or two before they go the Citifield route and make adjustments. - Indians will find ways to lose and Blue Jays will find ways to win this season - Do not underestimate the Mets while they are healthy - The Nats will give the Phils fits this year provided THEY stay healthy - Everyone forgot that the Reds do well against southpaws, Cueto will have a big year - Marlins lack brains, hence are overrated - Dodgers Achilles heel will once again be middle relief - Volquez as Opening Day starter for Pods tells us a lot A few thoughts on today's (4/6) games: - Have a feeling Lincecum will struggle out of the gate (Big Giants fan here) - Saw Wandy pitch in Florida and something is not right. He is typically a slow starter anyway. - Also, the current batters for the Rockies have hit .360 against Rodriguez - Pavano had a horrendous spring, Arrieta not much better. - The current batters for the Angels have hit .385 against Chen A few I am on today: 953 Giants/D'backs OVER 7 -105 955 Rockies -117 960 Twins/O's OVER 9 -105 GL, Rudy

I like the over but have a full unit on Arizona. The Giants could do like you say and lose 5-1. I do generally like overs in April but only if the teams involved can hit a little.

A day game I like for 4/7: 919 Red Sox +105 Back later with more. GL, Rudy

Some thoughts after Friday's games: - Yankees will be faced with a major predicament; what to do with Mo? Basically, their setup men, Soriano and Robertson, will prove to be more effective in the role of closer. Tough love brewing. - Mariners and A's should play against one another all 162 games - who really cares anyway? - Revamped Cards seem classy; have to love their style of play. - Padres may lose 100 games

Like this one a lot: 923 Twins -109 GL, Rudy
