4 Unit Play. Under 7.5 Runs. Detroit Tigers @ Toronto Bluejays
Verlander started off the year 1-7 last year and he is one of the reasosn why the Tigers never reached their potential. Well, he is on a big bounce-back here. Remember, the Tiger was capable of big things in the year before and he has really worked hard to make the necessary changes. He gave up just 1 run during a 19 inning spring training stretch this year so it looks to be working. In 15 opening day games, Halladay is a solid 11-2 with a 1.93 ERA but note he did not faced the Tigers last year and it has been quite some time since this Tigers lineup has faced him. Last year, Halladay was 10-4 witha 2.78 ERA in Toronto. In short, you have a pitcher on a bounce-back and a pitcher that does traditionally well on opening day (and the Tigers haven't seen Halladay's stuff in quite some time). The Under is 4-1 in Verlander's last 5 road starts dating back to last year, but more importanly, with the changes in his stance that he has made and with Halladay at 6-2 to the Under as a short lay of -110 to -150, limited runs seems like a good possibility here. Let's get this long, long season off to a good start this week.
2 Unit Play. Take Under 72 for First Half Between Michigan State vs. North Carolina
If you'd like my full thoughts on this game, check out my page. We cashed on the Super Bowl, the NIT Championship, the CBI Championship, so hopefully we can cash on the National Championship. I always look for comparisons when teams play. An example of what UNC faced similar to Michigan State is Oklahoma earlier this year when UNC won 70-62 although it was really a much bigger blow out than that. Oklahoam started off shooting extremely poor that game and then started picking it up. If this is a high paced game, the chances are limited that Michigan State has any chance of winning this game. After all, the last time these two teams played, UNC dropped nearly a 100 points on this team. Both teams are 5-0 ATS during the tournament and it is tough for me to bet against a UNC team that has looked dynamic thus far in every element and the Seniors on this squad who stayed an extra year just for this very reason, and this very game. In that same token, Michigan State is basically at home. They are the Underdog but have a great crowd behind them. Thus, what I've decided to do is to roll with the Under in the First Half. This allows us to take advantage of the intensity in the first half for Michigan State, as Izzo will likely have a different defensive plan than what he showed this team the first time around when these two teams met. The first half of the Oklahoma game totaled 55 (2nd half totaled 77). I expect UNC to be a bit off rhythm after the first half and then they will make the necessary adjustments and come back in the second half. I expect Michigan State to look to drag this game out if possible in their offensive set. The way that Michigan State wins this game is if it's a drag down, physical contest. Remember, while Michigan State has gone through the likes of Louisville and UConn (beat two #1 squads, UNC has not beat any #1 squads as the the highest seed they faced was Oklahoma who they defeated by 12 and the game went well Under. I'm not certain about the Side but I do like the Under first half as it is significant from my numbers. Let's take advantage of that Detroit crowd in the early going, Izzo's defensive adjustments that he makes from the first game, Michigan State wanting to slow this game down a bit like they did to Louisville and look to cash the First Half Under here as we hopefully close out the year with 4 of 6 Winners.
