whtsox13 · 10-03-13, 01:50 PM

Thank you! Want to jump now but will look closer... Seems TGTBT.

ebelisle22 · 10-03-13, 01:51 PM

i got it at -119, now at -121
i will keep track of it and post

Tampa Bay is very good, but the Red Sox are the best team in the AL and have home field advantage. Get on it early for this price...

whtsox13 · 10-03-13, 02:07 PM

Went in $100 at -118. Will look to get some more from this series with individual game matchups.

boston is way better than tb. and detroit is significantly favored over their opponent, dont get these odds. -119... should be -160 or so.

just dropped a monster play on boston series bet

I'm guessing it's because they've lost 4 of their last 7 to TB ... maybe?

The Rays have great pitching and hit Lester and Lackey well this team is build for the playoffs

Big Bear · 10-03-13, 02:18 PM

Pitching and Delmon Young.

Delmon Young homers every 12.2 AB's in post season.

You guys are clearly not giving TB enough credit

Pitching is what matters in the playoffs and they have 3 legit Aces going in Moore, Price and Cobb

This will be a tight series, Boston is a better team but in the playoffs it's all about pitching and Tampa has some SPs all on the top of their game at the same time

hustlehard617 · 10-03-13, 02:21 PM

Rays are hitting 270 of Lester and 392 of lackey this season

Lackey is solid at home and hasn't played the Rays in Fenway in a few years. Will be interesting to see how game two goes for him.

gotta score more runs than the opposition.

Easy. Because Rays are going to win.

slayer14 · 10-03-13, 03:30 PM

No one even thought boston would win the division this year with that team they are a over achieving team.
