    +172 for a solid all-around ballclub who is playing good ball. I know Scherzer is unbeatable at home and Arrieta is Arrieta, but if you look beyond the starting pitchers, there might be some serious value with Baltimore today. O's have won 6 of 8 overall, and Scherzer is 1-1 with a 5.19 ERA in his career vs. Baltimore.

      I wouldn't say he is unbeatable at home....just just hasnt lost yet at home. His ERA is highest at home, so that means that he has just been lucky to have gotten really good run support. Arrieta has played DET twice in his career, albeit, it was in 2010 and 2011, so a completely different team, but his era was 1.46 in those games. Some nice info that one could use to make an argument for the O's, but I see DET winning here, also tomorrow. If not win today, then the over looks nice.

        I understand the pitching match up is bad, but you're right. The O's are getting a lot of value at +172.

        The team total at 3.5 is appealing, as is the ML. Arrieta is not pitching all that well, however, the Orioles are the best run-producers in the AL. Even if he has a mediocre outing, tt is entirely possible he only pitches 5 innings, then they turn it over to the bullpen which has been very reliable [Outside of that stretch for JJ & Pedro Strop's whole season].

        I'll be on the +1.5 at the very least.

          I'm going a unit on the +1.5 and a half on the ML for now, though Arrieta scares me.

            Do any of your books let you bet final four innings? That might be an interning handle.

              Yes it would. I'll have to take a look.

                        Scherzer is trying to be the first tiger pitcher to start 10-0. Baltimore is the kind of team that usually screws this up.

                          The line has moved to +180 on 5 Dimes this is hard to ignore. The O's can put in runs but it's closing is the question.

                            Do u even watch baseball or just randomly look for big dogs? Sherzher is 8-0 and Arrieta won't stand a chance against those Detroit hitters.

                              No, I don't. Tigers have only been my favorite team for 30+ years, and I'm only up 70 units so far this season. I'm just a really good guesser.

                              I suppose you think "Sherzher" is going to go undefeated this year, eh?

                                          hey coincidences! I always enjoy your threads and can usually find some good info in them! I usually will not bet agianst an AL central team at home. Even though i do agree -200 was high. if the AL central team goes 2-0 in three game series and pitching matchup favs road team. Thats when I will usually consider them!
