College Basketball
It's that time of year again. College basketball March Madness. I use Bodog for my NCAA college basketball lines. I've put this link to their basketball lines in my blogroll (right above ESPN.com) to make things easy.
Today I like the following:
- Georgia Tech +9 over Duke (Georgia Tech to win outright with a money line of +375 also looks appealing)
- Richmond +4.5 over Temple
- Kentucky -7 over Mississippi State
- Minnesota +4.5 over Ohio State
Good luck to you and wish me luck.

Pick of the Day
Today I'm getting right back on the Red Sox horse for my pick of the day as they play a quasi-home game down in DC. Jon Lester may be the hottest pitcher in baseball and he's been a threat to throw a no-hitter his last few times out. Tonight Bodog has the Red Sox as a -$173 favorite - while that is a bigger number than I would normally find attractive - I know that I would absolutely kick myself if I didn't take Lester versus this over matched Nationals team.
POTD record 1-0

Pick of the Day
I'm bringing back my pick of the day (POTD) which was very successful for those of you who were paying attention back a few months ago. With baseball pretty much the only action going - I'm going to be using the lines from Bodog (you can't beat Bodog) to make my selections.
Tonight I love the Red Sox (OK that comes as no surprise but tonight I like them more than usual). I know that the Nationals are "hot" right now having won 4 out of their last 6 and that they have the equally hot John Lannan (winner of his last 3 starts) taking the mound tonight but all this "hotness" accomplished is to drive down the odds on tonight's game to Red Sox -$129 (meaning you would have to risk $129 to win $100 on the Red Sox). Normally the odds on this game would be about the Red Sox -$170.
The Red Sox have a much better offense and bullpen plus tonight will seem like a home game for Boston with all the members of Red Sox Nation scooping up the cheap tickets in Washington. It's probably cheaper if you thought ahead to fly the shuttle into Reagan National, get a hotel room and scalp some tickets than it would be to take in a game at Fenway.
I haven't even mentioned Brad Penny who has been hot himself of late. He's gone at least 6 innings in 6 of his last 9 starts (never going less than 5 innings) and has allowed 3 or fewer runs in 7 of those 9 starts.
You may not see a value bet like the Red Sox -$129 against the Nationals again this season so take the Red Sox. They are my pick of the day.

MLB All-Star Game
Interesting - the AL is the favored team in tonight's All-Star game even though most people agree that the NL's starting team is better. The AL is at -$147 (meaning risk $147 to win $100 - the NL is at +$127 meaning risk $100 to win $127). I guess the home field means that much. Terry Francona managing the AL probably also factors into the equation. As much as Clint Hurdle talks about wanting the home field advantage for the NL - let's face it - Francona has a much bigger stake in the outcome.
The over/under for runs is at 10 which seems a lock for the over.
Josh Hamilton is the betting favorite to be the MVP of the game at 2-1 followed by Justin Morneau at 4-1. I think Morneau is a sucker bet. My money is on Alex Rodriguez at 15-2. The hometown guy seems to win the MVP more times than not in these games.
