I understand that he is pitching against the lowly Pirates, but I have to believe this line is super inflated due to all of the hype that surrounds Stephen. The Pirates beat Roy Halladay in Philly a few weeks back. You can't try to tell me that Roy and an 18 year old kid that has never thrown a pitch in the big leagues are even in the same breath. Wasn't Philly -218 or close to that in that matchup?
The Pirates will be looking forward to the opportunity to ruin this phenoms first trip to the mound.... or at least they should be. What are anyones plans or thoughts on this game? I think that the Buccos, just as any other team in MLB, can win on any given day and that there has to be value in betting on them at +200 or so.
I would love to hear some thoughts on this game from anyone that is going to be placing a wager on it.....
