Biggest upset of the season?

G's pks · 07-02-09, 10:02 PM

Not at all Seattle team era third in the league....hitting right in middle of pack...

yisman · 07-02-09, 10:27 PM

odds-wise, G.

Offensively, they're the worst in the AL, actually.

Runs scored, and that's what matters.

Best pitching and worst offense.

Bradyd · 07-02-09, 10:49 PM

Odds wise, maybe. But anytime the Nats win, I would call that the biggest upset of the season...

yisman · 07-02-09, 10:54 PM

Then the pick I nailed by fading Wang vs. the Nationals was the biggest upset of the season.

G's pks · 07-02-09, 11:16 PM

SD in nl has scored less runs than Seattle...but al yes...but with good pitching...you can expect upsets...

yisman · 07-02-09, 11:52 PM

Yeah, he was talking about the American League. Worst hitting in the AL and best ERA. They don't have the best ERA in baseball.

They're barely ahead of San Diego, which is amazing, considering SD plays in a crazy pitcher's park and they have a bunch of scrubs surrounding A-Gone.

Who said Seattle had scored less runs than any team in MLB?

Same. I love fading the Yankees when they're laying heavy chalk.

When the Nationals won 2 of 3 in NY, those were the biggest upsets.

pico · 07-03-09, 12:24 AM

wang is not the same

agree...

NAts beat them twice in a row, with simiar odds on the road. I dont think anyone, not even the Nats thought that was possible. Sabathia is overpaid, and going to be 100LB's overweight b4 that contract ends.

All I know was I had a big advantage in pitching in the middle game (Lannan vs. Wang) and I was getting about +200. That was the easiest bet I made all year.

Beastxxx · 07-03-09, 04:05 AM

again I bleed. yanks and atl I just cant win.
Shoulda fone with my gut feeling and took seattle.
That fat bastard cc is a shithead

hoopster42 · 07-03-09, 04:06 AM

i dont know shit about baseball but i'd be shocked if a larger fave than -320 this season has not lost yet, i mean theyve played over 70 gms for pete's sake

justangel · 07-03-09, 04:08 AM

C'mon guys. They are not that bad. Can recover

Nope, last night's was the biggest priced dog to win so far this year, as the Mariners were 5 cents higher than the Nationals were when they beat the Yankees.

wow, that is amazing. LT i know nothing about baseball other than the big names of the past and present, it is the sport i follow least. anyhow, i have heard that this yr has been different in that there have been many bad beats etc, but if no team higher than -320 has lost it would seem too easy to just take all the big faves on the moneyline, and we all know if it looks too easy..................

You have to realize that there are fewer -300 favorites in baseball that there are in other sports.

hoopster42 · 07-03-09, 06:24 AM

that explains it LT

Yankees now own the top three chalk losers this season, after losing to Oakland today. Closed at -350 on Bodog.

6/18 vs. Nationals: Joba loses to Craig Stammen
7/2 vs. Mariners: Sabathia loses to Jason Vargas
7/25 vs. A's: Pettitte loses to Gio Gonzalez
