First and foremost, you must ask yourself one simple question, is the favored team/pitcher worth the line? Let me give you an example. Last night, Atlanta was a 2 to 1 favorite with Reynolds on the mound vs. the Reds. Reynolds was picked up late before the season started. Nobody but Atlanta wanted this guy. He entered last night's contest with an ERA over 5. No way would I play Atlanta and Reynolds laying that much chalk. The Braves escaped with a 3-2 victory in extra innings. Something to consider when choosing your plays. Great topic of discussion Bullet!
