Boston Red Sox / Milwaukee Brewers Over 8?

[rankslash]

Peavy is starting for the Red Sox, Estrada for the Brewers. I really like the over in this game. Thoughts?

[CHIB]

Brewers have struggled to hit against a Braves staff that is missing their best pieces. 4 runs, .186 average. 237 OBP. I doubt they find their offense today so if you want the over, i think it will have to come mostly from the Sox.

I do expect RedSox to get the win tonight. Maybe i will go with Boston ML or SL -1.5

Have someone that agrees with me. See my post on this game. Everybody is telling me under, so I took the over. Opening day @ Fenway is always a big deal around here. That little "bandbox" is conducive to scoring runs, I hope today anyway. BOL.

[CHIB]

I think I'm going to take the Sox -2.5

I saw your thread. I have to say that usually i agree with you, especially on NBA.
The main reason i took the over here is:
1. I've got a great price for Over 8 at 1.90 (-111) at the moment. Most books offer Over 8.5 @1.83 (-120).
2. I saw that most of the public is on the Under 8.5.
3. I saw Milwaukee at the Spring training. Most of their matches went above 6-7 runs. And i was a bit disappointed with the score in their match against the Braves.

Anyway, hope we get the Over.

Well, lets hope we are right and the world is wrong. LOL.

Not betting on this one but i'd lean under, Estrada has been pitching really well 4-0 2.14 ERA in spring training, and the Brewers offense had struggled so far.

wind blowing in from right field at 14 mph......this time of year...nasty

Good for a couple of pitchers who force alot of fly balls.

Only reason I passed on playing the over...

I like the under for the following reasons.

1. Red Sox give Peavy the home start, which is meaningful. He will pitch lights out today!

2. Although it's early, Milwaukee is hitting a dismal .161 against right handing pitching to start the season.

3. Last Year, Estrada pitched very well on the road, where we has 5-2 with a 2.09 ERA and an excellent WHIP.

4. John Q. Public likes the Over!

I'll take the Under 8.5 for 2.5% of my bankroll.

[JR007]

Red Sox...on the local news now, not taking batting practice due to the ceremonies, 1st five under looks tasty

[goduke]

man people are going to get buried when the Sox lose today. and fyi peavy doesnt pitch lights out anymore, those years are passed him

I tried telling everybody that earlier, but as usual, I am an idiot??? They live in the past. LOL

wind knocking down lots of balls today

Not the ones banging off the "Green Monster" nobody can get them home. What about that bullet off the wall from Milwaukee, anyplace else, homer, here, it is a single. LOL First the triple to left in the 1st or 2nd and leave him stranded. They are killing me not scoring these nitwits. Both have had plenty of chances. It's not like Koufax is pitching against Gibson. LOL

[RollinDo]

You guys should have bet 1st inning runs in SF - LA game.

I totally saw that coming!

[RollinDo]

What made you guys think Brewers would be scoring 4 or more today? They have not in any game yet...not saying they still can't. Not trying to be a jerk...actually I don't have to try.
No really, was it Peavy? I can understand that to some degree.

[JR007]

there was a few to right field where the wind was blowing in

Like you saw Red Sox OVER 4.5 ????

[rankslash]

We're still in 8th inning. Game is not over yet.

[RollinDo]

Like you saw Red Sox OVER 4.5 ????

Hey man. I was just giving you what I thought was a better option than Over 8 for the game. I saw a 5-3 or 6-2 type game...I was more confident in Boston ' s bats than Brewers bats.
Still Pullin for ya bud. Sorry for giving my input...I am not one to be good at calling Overs as you know.

[izzoh]

this game is making me nervous, i got the sox straight up, bet 112 to win 70.... lets gooo redsox come on

I got off some at plus 180 for a free roll. Don't like tied games this late, anyone can win

[drfunkmaster]

it goes over, thanks to the relievers in baseball are all bums. mujica, why did he come into this game, he cant buy an out or strike. ad he single handedly lost the game...

[drfunkmaster]

[rankslash]

BOOM!!! 6-2 Brewers! Push for now. Need one more for the win.

I didn't see 8 anywhere at anytime today. I call bullshit.

Well, I guess they scored more than 4 runs didn't they???? Nice call, that bullpen really shut them down.

No one is trying to convince you. Call whatever you want.

[grantingyou]

You don't have to convince me, because, 8 was never around at anytime today.
