It's a trap

How would plus that much money be a trap? Sounds like a deal with Greinke pitching.

He faced the LAD once this year and won 3-2, he was at home. Prior to that the only other time I can see him facing the LAD (speculation on my part) is in 2011 when with Milwaukee ???? Other than that his 1st 7 years were with KC, LAA 1/2 & Toronto 1/2 in 2012. BOL on your wager.

Thanks Mag. Of course, you're right and your point is well taken that he doesn't have a long history (or even much of a recent one) against the Dodgers, but his numbers against the guys on this LAD roster are pretty good: .185 BA, .333 SLG, .566 OPS. in 86 PAs.

If youre dead set on taking Arizona, look at the F5. If the Dodgers work his pitch count up and he only lasts 5-6 innings, that bullpen is atrocious.

Those bvp numbers are likely old being he was in LA for a few years. Almost irrelevant IMO.

May be onto something with that play. AZ relievers have pitched 193 pitches the last 3 days and 60 yesterday (only 2 pitchers). The bullpen ERA is 5.28 on the road, however Greinke averages about 99 pitches per game so he "should" go into the 7th or 8th.

Good luck HG n I think there is value there!!

Over a third of the ABs (31) are from this season, so there is certainly some relevance. He has also faced guys like Grandal, Utley, and Ruiz in recent years on over teams. Your F5 idea is a good one though, given how terrible the Arizona pen is. Good luck to you today!

Fair enough. Good luck to you too.

I think the ff +.5 -110 got the most value. Getting that half run is huge could see a 2-2 game after 5.

Good lawd. Seager owns Greinke. It was indeed a trap.

HeeluvaGuy · 09-05-16, 08:55 PM

Greinkelol 4HRs in one inning? Ouch.

Ro0k · 09-05-16, 09:19 PM

Well at least you weren't beat by Gonzalez hitting that high ball for a bomb lol.
