Biggest play of the year?

lynn hasn't been pitching well last few games but i will take it

I agree 100%. I saw the line last night and couldn't believe it, almost too good to be true. If anyone is going to put a bankroll on something this year, it's worth a look.

careful, cards have trouble with lefties, 73 hits so far vs. lefties, lowest of all NL teams
36 runs, 3rd lowest v. lefties

not saying i like it or not bc i suck lately, but just trying to post something useful

face, thank you for bringing that to attention

Don't think Cap will make it through 5 innings. Cards have some pretty good numbers against Capuano. Can't pass this up

thanks smutbucket,

that's a good point. there's always something someone hasn't thought of. love the specific game discussion threads

Ghenghis Kahn · 05-24-13, 01:28 PM

i read these types of threads daily and usually, they don't end well...

might put a unit on the dodgers.

Absolutely polarized FB/GB ratio against lefties this year. .69 ground ball/flyball ratio is by far the most lopsided in MLB. Not gonna work in that park. Especially in the cold.

Lowest amount of extra base hit against lefties as well. Not a lot of good swings. Even sorry assed Jon Niese beat them.

I don't get that. Cards shouldn't be so horrific vs. southpaws.

Good to see you posting again, billy.

Thanks Coiner. You have been one for years that always does his homework. A good read on a daily basis.

Cards just don't have the right approach so far this year against lefties. Their GB/FB ratio against righties is close to even.

Overswinging.

Overswinging at C-R never seems to go well.

No value on Cards here.

Agree. Just seems like a stay-away game altogether.

Cannot believe this line. Dodgers are going to get completely outclassed tonight.

the fact that you cant believe this line should make you cautious. this is not the spot to be making your biggest play of the year. i see STL dropping this one and winning the next two. so tread lightly if you do play it.
