Dodgers/Blue Jays Discussion Thread

This is a game you don't need much research on. Just read the line to know that its a winner.

Jefferey13 · 07-22-13, 12:56 AM

I'm on LAD, but that is pretty often for me unless they are huge favs.

petey5 · 07-22-13, 01:07 AM

I've been taking LAD a lot lately but tomorrow I may go with Johnson and the Jays.

Why? Interesting...

Remember Johnson is actually lights out vs the NL. This is why the jays thought he was good

RavensFan2k3 · 07-22-13, 05:54 AM

I was looking at the over

Big Bear · 07-22-13, 07:16 AM

Kemp will be out?

AGAIN?

you gotta be kidding me

Deep_Rest · 07-22-13, 07:58 AM

Kemp fell awkwardly at the plate yesterday afternoon. If Mattingly has any brain, he will sit him, or at least have him hit DL. Puig will almost definitely take his place.

The Dodgers are on fire now, but TOR just got swept. They might come out swinging today and Ryu isn't that great on the road. If the OVER magically goes from 9 to 8.5 i'd jump on it.

Good luck!

Come on take the bet... your odds of losing are the exact same with 9 or 8.5

oiler · 07-22-13, 01:24 PM

well dodgers have won the last 4 road openers and don't think that will change today

Line is scary. Everything points at a win for the Dodgers, public all over it but the price got slightly better even. Annoying to pass on plus money like this and seeing it win easily though. Same goes for PIT@WAS today. How is Haren a favorite, honestly? So very tempted to hammer these games.

same here. Reds, Pirates, and Dodgers at + money all look so very tempting.

Johnson is far from lights out Vs NL. He was 8-14 with 3.81 ERA last year in the NL.

On LAD for a half unit too. Would play it for more but that line movement is scary like everyone said already

Twerp · 07-22-13, 03:56 PM

line says it all. no way should toronto be favored. Blue jays all the way

Haha I know, hence the careful wording.

I don't understand this thought process. Maybe you can explain it? So because Toronto shouldn't be the favorite yet they are getting bad odds as the favorite, this makes you want to bet them?

The thinking is that you're missing something the books aren't missing. The tough part is figuring out if this is one of those times or if it really is as easy as it looks. I usually either pass or go for what looks easy. If it turns out to be a trap then so be it, well played books.
