    Correct.  The result after 5 innings is what matters.  If it's a tie, then the wager is cancelled.

    AH!!!  excellent excellent point!  I didn't even consider that when analyzing Nova's performance in that game.  Nova is terrible against lefties and I do expect a number of them in the lineup for Detroit today.  

    Thanks for sharing!!  great stuff

    Pinny had the 5-inning odds at +149 when I placed the wagers.  5Dimes was at +150 for 5-innings.  

    They're both around +130 now.  I still love it at those odds..

    Thanks

    No need for insurance.  
    You'll just win in case the game is tied after 5.

    As long as it's a fun 'action' wager, why the heck not?
    I don't trust this Tigers bullpen at all.  Unless Fister goes 7-8 innings, this is not a bad wager.  Getting Detroit bullpen for 3 innings provides enough time for the Bombers to win it.

    it's an ok wager.  I expect Fister to be sharp.  Nova is a 'question mark'.  He might give up 3 or he might give up 6. (I'm hoping for 6 of course :)

    That was some deep digging in your analysis, bod.  Worthy of an "A" regardless of the results...

    Can I get an "A+" if the result is favorable?

    Nice write up. I have to take issue with some things. You highlight how Detroit never saw Nova prior to game 1.5. But, don't mention how Fister's quality start against NYY in the regular season was the first time they were seeing the "new and improved" Doug Fister. Nova had multiple effective starts against Toronto and Baltimore. Both 700+ run scoring teams. He also shut down Texas the second time he saw them. A much better offensive team than Detroit. Also, you're cherry picking by saying the box score makes Fister's start look worse than it was. It's more an indictment of what a misleading stat ERA can be. His WHIP was 2.14. That's bad!

    Anyway, good luck on your play!

    Wow epic writeup there and a few nice add on points by others good stuff. And on top of that I too like DET today so I'm jacked to see you backing them. Not sure exactly how I'll play them. ML for sure and then +1.5 in some fashion. And as usual you were bang on two days back when you said plays 1-4 on my card were solid. I did great on the first few plays then like clockwork tailed off finishing 4-5 -0.55 units. Good news is I bounced back with a 4-0 +7.15 units card yesterday and kept the heater going. 8 +$ days outta 10 now at +47.7 units. Thanx for all the knowledge buddy you've really helped me turn a corner. And the best part is my fave/specialty sport is pucks and thats back tonight. &

    Not sure if I'd say that Texas is 'much better offensive team' than Detroit.  Both are top-5.  Sure Nova shut them down in his 2nd start against them.  But what does that have to do with anything? He was ineffective against them in his 3rd start and in his first against them for that matter.  This is baseball.  You'll always have an average pitcher have a game here and there where they 'shut down' a good offense.  I don't see the relevance of that.  It's much more relevant that Nova had an almost 7 ERA against top-5 offenses in AL in 7 games than what he did in 1 game.  

    As to Yankees seeing "the improved" Fister for the first time, that's not exactly true.  He's faced them once this season already and gave up 3 ER's in 7 innings of work.  

    To your point that Fister's WHIP was 2.14, you're focusing on 1 game.  I look at a larger picture when evaluating pitchers and matchups.  I've only discussed Fister's game 1 performance to explain that it's not indicative of how he generally does against top offensive teams.  It was one game and nothing more. 

    Overall, Fister is a much better pitcher than Nova in my opinion and at +150 odds provides tremendous 'value' for the first-5 innings.
