    Texas +104 Game 1 (Bodog)

    Hate to do this as a 30-plus year die-hard Tiger fan, but the Rangers are the play. I'm taking them for a minimum of 3U -- possibly 5 depending on where the line goes from here.

    Wow. Not surprised at the pick necessarily, but the conviction behind it. Why so strong on this one N.C.?

    I think the blind assumption that Verlander will pitch well just because it's Verlander is a false one. No Delmon Young solidifies it for me. I'm also bothered by the line in this game vs. the series line. If Detroit was the play here, Texas wouldn't be -140 to win the series.

    Delmon Young is out? Thought he was Day-to-Day, was he ruled out? Yeah that also changes my perspective considerably. Verlander has the ability to shut down the Texas offense, but the Rangers always manage to deliver w/ RISP @ some point during the game, depends if Verlander will pitch a CG. This is a close call.

    With that said C.J. Wilson has struggled lately, its one of those .

    its now -105 @ BetOnline.

    It's the first time for me in this forum,I'm Portuguese,and I love USA and MLB,NHL.So,tonight we have the first game,with the best pitcher (Verlander),in my opinion against a very good one in the Texas side,but,don't means that is Detroit the winner.In my opinion Texas win the game. Sorry if my language isn't the best.

    Best regards

    PS-My pick : money line 1.95
    total runs more 7,5 1.87
    (decimal odds)
    BWIN

    But assuming he won't pitch well may be a poorer assumption. Delmon Young is NO game changer, decent player, not a base path threat, not a power threat or a defensive plus. He's an average outfielder. Not saying they are better off without him, just that his loss is not a huge factor.

    Playing devil's advocate here a bit bro, not against your play, I am torn on this one personally which is why I was curious as to your strong Texas lean. GL

    Don't underestimate the significance of losing both Boesch and Young. He may not be a "game changer," but they're even thinner now at an already weak spot.

    Appreciate the feedback -- we'll see what happens!

    A sentiment you dearly need to learn.

    How'd your "bet the farm on Halladay at -180" bet go yesterday? Is that what prompted you to abandon, what, your 11th username?

    How did my "bet the mortgage" on harrison in game 4 vs the rays go? that's an easy game to play. I still don't know why I waste time responding to someone who bets peanuts

    It wasn't a -180 bet -- I know that much. I also know it wasn't a bet you chest-thumped about when the line first came out like you did with this shitty one.

    You lost your shirt. Again. Then created another username. Again.

    Stooping to the level of making fun of my unit size because you have no legitimate comeback.

    I win again.

    Damn this is easy.

    Nailed your sorry ass on another horrible bet (the latest of many) you made under a different username, which you abandoned for what exactly? Then you start making comments about how much I bet, which is a sign of desperation and feeble attempt to distract from the main issue -- that you keep burying yourself with bullshit posts under different accounts yet still call yourself legitimate.

    You are a fraud, and you've been exposed. Later.

    $20 per unit -- not game. But again, beat that dead horse because that's all you've got in this discussion. Sad.
