    Line still moving Boston ML tonight vs Pitt..why?

    How can anyone bet Boston and make money right now. They are so overvalued...-155 on the road against a young .500 team. What I dont get is that the line has been moving ML to -165 for Boston......

    Specualte why for me because I dont see this except the public is blindly pounding another meaningless regular season inter league game

    Pretty easy to see why...Boston has one of the best offenses in the league, pittsburgh one of the bottom 5. Lester is one of the best pitchers in the league and Malhom is far below average

    I think Boston wins this pretty handily. they will cover the over themselves in my opinion.

    Perception and I'm one of the those. In many games this year where I have seen boston offense exploded and score 7, 8 runs in 1 inning.

    Boston just lost series vs. SD & going to be on the road for 9 games. They need to set a winning precedent and it starts tonight.

    Wait for the lineups fellas. This is Boston's first road interleague game, and it will be interesting to see what they do with Papi, and Gonzo

    Sox will score at least 6 off Maholm and with lester in the 9 spot a lil small ball might even help contribute to that

    papi will not be playing unless you think he will play first and gonzo will sit. if you think that then you are gonzo yourself.

    he has a SIERA(skill-interactive era) this season of 4.39 and it was worse last year. His ERA has been alot better than it should be, he has some serious regressing to do

    i'm not saying he isn't pitching above his head, but to say he's 'far below average' is a stretch given some of the shit pitchers i've seen this year

    he's a pretty crafty lefty

    what are you playing?

    no not at all. pirates are +150 home dogs that is a HUGE line. the pirates won't come close to winning this game more often than not and you don't need them to for it to be a profitable bet. As I've said a million times, being on the right side of a game is just not as simple as betting on great teams or great pitching and betting against awful teams or awful pitching

    exactly, every game this series either Sox lineup gonna be less intimidating or they gonna have huge holes in the D. Pit series price is tempting but think ill just play them every day till i get a W at least.
