    Rangers +115 in Game 1

    It's tough for me to back CJ Wilson the way he has been pitching but I think we are looking at a coinflip game here. The Phillies made Carpenter look unbeatable but Milwaukee showed that he can be hit. Texas will not go down 0-2 in this series - it's just not going to happen. I'm taking the Rangers in Game 1 and if it doesn't cash I will go bigger on them in Game 2.

    Rangers ML +115 (3x)

    Enjoy the World Series everyone.

    Carpenter may not go in Game 1 because of a sore elbow. I think CJ Wilson at that price is as good as you're going to get.

    Rangers hitters go up to the plate looking to hit. They won't let Carpenter get that easy first strike.

    except for the dummy in the post above you who is taking the rl of the favored team even though the dog has lower rl odds

    on top of that he is taking it for 10 units. i was gonna say a grand but in his case it is a hundred dollars or maybe even $10

    lololol

    My average wager is actually 1k. Do you actually think you're big time with $100 units?



    If you only knew who I was then you would just drop the argument

    Public action is 50/50. I think the books think the Rangers take game 1, and they just want the losing juice.

    You sure? If I had to guess, I'd bet the Cardinals RL is getting pounded by the public.

    So your betting $10k on a risky -1.5 ?

    I don't care who you are. I do not believe your betting 10 grand on an idiotic play like that. IF you were you would be so above a forum like this its not even funny. Good luck

    Dontbuythehook is obviously the ghost of someone. He's too familiar with the forum with only 200 posts. He's also full of shit with his airbet. Goes into every thread just to disagree with the OP.

    I flipped a coin and Texas came out on top. Saves a lot of time capping and works pretty good

    Tex line up is stacked, will ding up Carp.
    St. Louis will touch up CJ too.

    Like St. Louis + money.
    LOVE the over.

    The Cards starters appear to be on fumes at this point. There are no breaks in the Texas line up. This series could be a sweep.

    At least someone gets it around here. Cards backers think that Larussa is gonna keep getting away with pitching his starters 4 innings.

    I do not understand how you can say this is not a coin flip. Texas pitching is not 100% either at the moment. And lets not forget the Cardinals were not suppose to beat Philly nor Milwaukee but look what happened. This is baseball ffs, anything can happen. I think the Cardinals have a greater ability to grind out and come back to win, where as Texas does not.

    no LOL I'm not actually betting on this game. I'm sorry I probably went a little too far to jinx his thread so I take it back.

    big disadvantage for the rangers playing in the NL park with no DH, gonna mess with their lineup chemistry.

    Cards are 0-7 L7 home games vs LHP, if Wolf can pitch a good game vs the cards, CJ can as well.

    Tough call, gonna take the rangers.

    This is the second year in a row that Texas has been to the playoffs and now World Series and their ace Wilson has yet to win a postseason game. I think this is definately something to take into account. I heard the same thing about the great Texas lineup going into last years series and we all know how that turned out. All I'm saying is anyone who thinks St. Louis can't win this series is fooling themselves.
