Not putting alot on it but at 13-1 why not.

I still think Philly will win but paying 2.3-1 is not worth it. 

My reason for taking the Giants is simple they have the second best 1 and 1a starters next to Philly.  They have a great 3 and 4, they will be playing in a pitchers park and have a great bullpen and closer.

I know their hitting is average at best but playoff baseball is alot of 2-1 games.

At the end if they win everyone will say how the hell did they win with that lineup, but it can happen.

At 13-1 its worth a shot.

Who's starting 3 in the AL are you in love with.  Better yet who's starting 2?

Baseball is all about value and at 13-1 why not.

yea, i agree

i think the giants have the best starting 4 (no zito) in the majors.

everytime they go out, you expect zeros. 

whether its timmy, cane, sanchez, or bumgarner.

Im from frisco and the giants have broke my heart 2 times in my lifetime.  We will win the pennant,but the WS is a long shot.

I took GIANTS to win the NL at +200 .

K will firstly if you think its just going to be the starting pitching that wins the WS you are 100% wrong. Bullpens are much stronger in teams like Tampa and Texas and their lineup is not even comparable to the AL heavy hitters. Even if you want to go starter to starter with say Texas, Cliff Lee outduels Lincecum, and Texas very likely wins at least one of the next two: Cain/Wilson Zito/Lewis.....

This is a HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE bet. I think the Giants can win it too, but the value of the Giants to win the NL should be AT LEAST +400. You just got ass raped by your book.

But to Pezeveng - +1300 is a solid price on them to win the world series. Slightly higher then the true value so I'd jump on it.

+200 to win the NL.

+1300 to win the WS

Just waiting for someone to respond to me saying "Well I think they win the NL and lose in the World Series." If/when that response comes, I will be ready.

They are going to have to sweep the Giants to have any chance to win the division or beat the Braves for the wildcard. In other words, +3000 holds no value at the moment.

I think you have me misunderstood, I like the value at 13-1 and they have a great 1-2 punch, the top 3 are paying

Phills 2.2-1

NYY 2.75-1

TB  3-1

Why would I be silly enough to take any of those odds.  Iam even thinking of placing some money on Minny at 13-1 as well.

Those are all

I got Giants to win NL at +1200 in June...

During the Brewers series when their bats erupted and then they came out of the All star break on a tear and never looked back.

I think all of their games will be 1 run games.
