I am curious what you think about the O's. I think a lot of people are expecting Texas to just take care of business. I see a Texas team that is reeling, and lacks confidence. Saunders' numbers in Arlington are a little deceiving as they were mostly compiled prior to 2010. Tremendous value with Baltimore tonight, and I'm close to making them a play. Haven't touched an MLB game in months, but liked the spot here. Appreciate any insight. Hope to see you in the football forums soon.

most intense matchup so far was vs detwiler, nats hits him 7 times in 7 IP but only scored 1. however 7 hits can kill you any other day, detwiler also hit 7 times only conceded 2. braves proceed to win 5-1 because 3 run on top 9th.
he might proceed to win but i wont lay that many money. take my chances with lohse here. |

Injuries and situations are sometimes way overblown... for the most part, lines from the past provide a pretty solid indicator because sharps do not make overreactions (though you don't want to delve too far into the past. I'm not looking at Lohse's lines from say, July.) |

What's good buddy... where ya been?
I think the BAL/TEX line is very sharp and pretty much spot on. I'm using Saunders lines @ Felix Hernandez (+145) and at home vs. Sabathia (also +145) as baselines.
My instincts and past line data tell me in the same spots, Darvish is probably -120 @ Felix and -110 at home vs. CC. As such, I've got Darvish at 35 cents better than Felix and 10 cents worse than CC. By proxy then, I've got data to support a line of +180 for Saunders @ Darvish and +135 for Saunders vs. Darvish (which equates to roughly +185 for Saunders @ Darvish).
At either +180 or +185, that doesn't differ much at all from the opening line (TEX -185/+175) or the current line (TEX 200/+185).
Hope this helps... BOL with whatever you decide, Jose. |

Hope all is well, brother. I'm liking your steelers this week. They needed that bye week. |

Good to hear all is well.
I hear you on the MLB thing... it's a sport where you have to keep up on things daily. It's such a grind.
GL with the Steelers if you play them... I see it at -3.5 at most shops now, hopefully you can wait a bit and see if you can grab a -3 on Sunday if it falls. Not that much difference between -3.5 and -4 so I think it's worth the risk to wait it out. |

TO CALL KYLE LOHSE AN ACE IS AN OVER STATEMENT YES HES HAVING A GOOD YEAR BUT NO WAY IN HELL IS HE AN ACE.....HES A 3RD STRING PITCHER AT BEST FACT

He is 16-3; 211 IP; 143 K's; 38 walks; WHIP of 1.09 would all argue that he is at least in the conversation for "ace"
I'm guessing there are almost 0 number 3 starting pitchers with stats like this.....
I am on Medlen and the Braves but Lohse is about as good as it gets this year. |
