Keep in on the down low forever... No problem.. Vegas and off shore books also keep quiet because they have to kick in for payoffs ... easy as pie.. Yeah the $400 million hes going to make in his career isnt enough. Vegas threw him $50 mill in cash because im sure they figured out a way to make $100 mill just by him throwing the game.. oh wait those numbers dont add up. Im sure Kershaw is willing to risk his reputation, career and HoF entry to make a few extra bucks *sarcasm* |

Think of the required logistics behind rigging a game. Even is everyone was in on it, how feasible is it to take a bat and put a 90 mph ball to some part of the field. The ball has been likely altered slightly but the idea that these teams have been given a script to follow and are successfully carrying it out is complete nonsense. |

I would like to see an independent test done on the balls vs older balls.
Pitchers throw harder than ever before, this translates to a slightly higher exit velocity. Players are adjusting their swing ie launch angle. Players are striking out more ie swinging for the fences. |

I mean from the media, the Astros don't even need to get on the plane. I don't listen a lot to the media but if you do, they often at times tell the public what to do. The Astros don't want a game 7 so that in itself will be the reason why they win tomorrow? Huh? I'm just trying to figure this all out. You think Houston, all by themselves, took that game last nite? oh boy. The Dodgers in no way assisted? Do me a favor: watch the base hit off of Bregemans bat. Watch where the runner is when the ball is picked up in shallow left field. The runner is just touching the bag when the outfielder gathers the ball. Watch the fielder collect the ball, take his time, regather and make one of the weakest throws you will see from a fielder. I think that was what was most surprising last nite: no way that runner should have scored. Just watch the replay. It's eerie to see the effort so half a$$ed in such a big spot. You can call me crazy all you want but let's wait until game 6 is done to do that because from what I saw last nite, my stance are that much more reaffirmed that the Dodgers will get there's no in game 6. I firmly believe last nite was Houstons game before it even started. I bet on the Dodgers and sure, sometimes I'm on the right side of the f@x and sometimes I'm on the wrong side. I'm not the type though to complain that I lost because of it; I made the wrong bet. Win or loss for me....I think the Dodgers had waaaaaay more to do with the outcome of that game than the Astros and I think tomorrow, the Dodgers force a game 7 because of their role in how game 5 ended. Will I ever have tangible proof? Nope. But will anybody else have proof that the game was pure and played straight up for the 5 hours of video game soap opera antics we witnessed last nite? Nope. I guess it comes down to picking the winner now. I'm glad backdoor you are now sucked in; I'm not and I fully expect we see a game 7. All my opinions bud. So was Ethier in on the fix then? Who was it? Him, Bregman and Jansen? All the players on both teams? So the passion was all just an act? The Astros and Dodgers salaries total $410 million. Who is paying them off and for how much money? With modern day scrutiny, social media, banks etc how is the money trail never caught? Some of these players are going to make 100-300 million in their career and your telling me they are going to risk that? |

Even if they were all racists, how does that make it ok in 2017 for this garbage to happen? The OP is 100% spot on. If Yuri Gurriel was white the whole world would be losing their mind. |

If one had placed a $100 bet last Saturday afternoon and kept fading the dodgers over the 9 game losing streak, you would have $1042316.49 in your account tonight.

If I was laying a bet, Id lean towards the over. Im curious as to what their home record will be. Specifically, will the visiting team be distracted by the fact that they are in Vegas.

Blue Jays fan here so I dont bet on them..
The twins @ +160 seem like the obvious value bet today |

You could argue Roberts made a dumb move by leaving Baez in when he clearly didnt have it.
At the end of the day, betting against the Dodgers at +120 is a bad play, even more so with Wood on the mound. This team has found a way to win all season. Heck how many games within the last 2 weeks have they fallen behind and came back to win? They have been playing almost .870 ball the past month and a half. |

Any ideas on which direction is best to go. I took the Dodgers RL after they were behind early twice this week and it came through.
RL -140 ML -340 or Dodgers O 4.5 -120 The Dodgers have scored 5 or more runs 59 times since May 1st (59/92) 64% |

The Rays have incredible numbers against him but: Estrada was terrible for a few months and seems to have found his form again (probably the most underrated pitcher in mlb the past 2 seasons) The Rays were mashing hrs earlier in the year but cant hit a damn thing now. If your going to take the over, might be best to take the Jays with it. More probable the Jays light up Snell imo |
