Maryland has made the NCAA tourney 3 of the last 4 years and is 10 mins from DC and hosts Army on the 23rd, 24, 25th.

The Mets had 3 home non-Yankees series in Sep 2015 during their WS run. They only averaged ~27,000 attendance. The Mets should be competing for a wild card this year. Maybe putting Tebow on the 40 man could actually fill up the stadium.

Pace of play changes for this season:
https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-announc...es/c-266718664

Biggest change is a 6 mound visit per game limit.

That looks like a good rule to me but apparently they're not gonna really enforce it?

Red Sox and JD close to a deal according to Heyman

In on o90.5 before that deal finalizes.

My other plays so far:

-Cubs o93.5
-Nats o92
-Yanks o93.5
-Pirates u73.5
-Mariners o81.5
-Marlins u65
-Tigers u68

I'm no tout and I'm not saying these are good plays but this is what I plan to lose money on this year.

Also on World Series bets for Cubs (9-1), Angels (20-1), and Brewers (25-1).

Seems like a fair deal. It really is ludricrous that he was wanted $200 million going in to the offseason.

Arrietta is next, he'll get less than Yu.

Thinking Yanks should counter by signing Moustakas but they are so fixated on staying under 189 and wanting to see what Andujar can do that i think they are gonna miss the boat.

Pineda is good and Gray will probably be good, but that's it. Their bullpen will be spent by the end of August.

Judge doesn't need to get better, if he hits .260/.360/.540 with 40 HR instead of 52 the Yankees will be more than happy with that. More importantly, a healthy Gary Sanchez for a full season and a healthy Greg Bird, and replacing some of Ellsbury/Gardner/Hicks' PA with GIANCARLO are going to add a lot of wins.

Pineda? He hasn't been a Yankee for a long time.

The rotation is Severino, Tanaka, Gray, Sabathia, and Montgomery. Tanaka is projected for a bounce back after having a terrible regular season and being completely lights out in his last few strats and the play-offs. He had an inflated HR-rate last season, but if he gets ahead, his splitter is one of the best put-away pitches in baseball.

And their bullpen is the deepest in baseball, so yeah, lol...

It sounds like JD Martinez deal has two opt-outs, with it paying $50 million over the first two years.

Relief pitchers can't really be relied on for their past performance. They have bigger swings in performance than starters do, year to year.
