PieRats will crank out runs tonight warm day

**GiveMeaBJ** · 04-02-14, 10:54 AM

Nocoin good luck bro. Like Cubbies too.

**thetrinity** · 04-02-14, 11:10 AM

gl coin not sure why more people dont take the 1.5 runs, -1.5 on the favorite is the squarest bet going.

Good luck, men.

Lean Twinks, but passing on that one. Nothing else until tonight.

No love for Milwaukee with Garza pitching against Harang?

yeah, kind of a fishy line - thought scherzer would be 2/1 here.
worth a unit at +1.7

**Lombatso** · 04-02-14, 02:27 PM

Scherzer is unreal today. Movement all over the plate just freezing batters.

Yeah looks like we'll need the always shaky Tigers bullpen to give us a couple to win. Hope we get the cover at least.

Edit: totally forgot the TIgers got Nathan.

**iloseagain** · 04-02-14, 02:29 PM

if we get out of the bottom of the 8th with no runs, the +1.5 should be good

**No coincidences** · 04-02-14, 02:30 PM

This no-bunt strategy with a runner on second and no one out has to stop.

I'm not sure when baseball teams stopped doing this, but it's a loser's mentality to let a guy swing away in this spot. Period. Yet they all do it now.

Harang tends to do this when he gets to a new team -- for whatever reason, he pitches well during his honeymoon period.

Was wondering that myself. It doesn't get more obvious than that. Top 8. Down by 1. You haven't had luck against Scherzer all day. Why not move him over so you just need contact to score him?

**Lombatso** · 04-02-14, 02:55 PM

You called it lol

**Lincoln Scofield** · 04-02-14, 02:56 PM

Can almost guarantee Royals don't cover now. It'll be either they win outright or they lose by 2.

well thats just stupid to say.. You realize if they win outright, then they cover as well.

Yeah because extra innings runs only come in pairs now right?

Well yes I know that but what I'm saying is I feel like more often than not extra inning games don't land on 1.

No, but they certainly can is all I'm saying.

**2daBank** · 04-02-14, 03:21 PM

Like the scrubbies, think under in Cincy a decent play, maybe muts/nats under small, and I'm staying on the fish bandwagon until they give me a reason not to be (again I watched them take it to cards a bunch in spring training, obviously those gms wernt a priority to stl but fish impressed me none the less)..

**TakingVegasMoney** · 04-02-14, 03:31 PM

Tigers walk off again in the 10th

do you have any evidence of this? because i feel like the majority DO end in 1. 2/3 this year ended in 1 run game. Small sample obviously, but I dont know where you are getting your info that more than 50% end in >1 run

**iloseagain** · 04-02-14, 03:40 PM

quick question. Im doing fantasy baseball for the first time this year and I was wondering where I can check gameday lineups so I dont start someone who is not playing. I know most positions play every game, but Im talking about catchers mainly because they get rest days every once in a while.

Rotowire and mlb.com usually pretty good about having them once they out

I have no evidence whatsoever I just feel like I've been on the wrong end of extra inning games a lot when having the +1.5. Kind of like a dog in basketball going into overtime and not covering.
