Sunday Discussion...Lets Talk Baseball

Athletics +160

The Angels and Lackey are getting too much respect here. I know they're home...I know they're the better team...but Anderson is really good. He dominated the Angels in his last outing against them. The problem is...Lackey dominated the A's right back. But if there a 2 really good pitchers going against each other, why not take the one getting the huge price? This line is off by a bit if you ask me. I mean the Angels were only -111 favorites in Oakland...why such a big leap now? They know they'll get the public all over them coming off a loss regardless of the line so they're trying to squeeze every cent they can out of the Angels. I thin Anderson shuts them down here but the Angels find ways to win. We'll have to find out.

 

Rockies +130

Hammel is really good on the road. 3.08 ERA on the road this season compared to a 6.47 ERA at Coors. He also has a 3.64 Day ERA where his night ERA is 4.88. So he has those things going for them. The Dodgers won't get swept here. I hate using that logic but they are just too good to get swept. In 2 starts against the Giants Hammel has only given up 3 runs. Obviously Cain is a stud but the Rockies find more ways to win than the Giants(They almost pulled off the comeback last night). I think they'll pull off the win here as nice sized dogs.

For what its worth Verlander was simply dominant in his last outing, then he got a 10-0 lead, sat for about a half hour, and gave up 4 runs. 

 

Only thing that scares me is last time i bet against d-rays vrs a ace(felix hernandez) they roughed him up and i think i broke a mouse or a keyboard

I'll take my chances on Verlander...not a lot of plays i like yet for tomorrow so it is what it is.

Doggies have been barking since Black Thursday.....maybe they will take a day off tommorrow.  Then again......

I kinda like wainwright rl -155

 

I do I do I do, wonder if they will sit albert, he gets a sunday off now and then.

Pirates have lost 20 straight on the road vs Brewers...

Astros +130/Under 7.5

We know Wandy is a stud at home. He has a 1.73 ERA there. But his 3.95 road ERA isn't entirely awful. The plus side is his day ERA is 1.73 too so that evens out a bit. The thing is...Haren is just as solid. 2.07 Home ERA and a 1.97 Day ERA. The series is tied 4-4 this season. Wandy is worth the bet as a dog against the DBacks here. Lets put it into perspective here. Wandy has been a dog 15 times this season and is 8-7. Wandy's loses came against the Cards 3 times, Dodgers, Rangers, Cubs and Brewers(Gallardo). His 8 wins came against the Marlins, Brewers, Dodgers, Tigers, Twins, Cubs, Reds and Cubs again. So apparently he can handle the weaker teams and fails to beat the better teams as a dog. He's certainly worth the shot here but the better play is the under for sure.

Braves/Phillies Under 9

Jurrjens and Blanton has been dominant of late. Jurrjens has a 2.18 ERA in his last 3 starts and Blanton has a 3 ERA in his last 3. Blanton also has 9 straight quality starts and 11 straight starts giving up 3 or less runs. The under is 16-10 in Jurrjens' starts this season while Blanton has pitched to 13 unders and 8 overs. Anybody want to chime in...? I'm kinda drawing a blank here.

I'm playing TB for hugh and the Angels for 2 units.

 

Anybody think the Pirates/Brewers Over is worthy of a wagerline hat? I'm 1 win away from another hat.

whenever i bet flo they kill me now i need them to beat padres 1 game and they will get swept i hate this sd team all of a sudden there the yankees there hitting 12 -15 hits a game FUCK MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Papi...Where are you? What's the deal with Wakefield? Why can't this guy stay healthy? I need him for the final stretch in fantasy ball.
