    I swear everytime i take a pitcher "Who hasnt pitched a bad game yet" he gets crushed. Never fails his first bad game is always when i bet on him. Ill make it easy for u. Ill bet him that way u can fade and cash.lol

    yeah he's been very impressive, but how long does that continue? He WILL regress to the mean. He was a 4.36 ERA in AAA in 13 starts. Do you think his 3 starts @ 1.35 ERA are a more accurate depiction of his talent?

    what about the Pirate Bats? what about the houston Bats? both been hot lately.

    what about Correria? that guy is garbage, throw BP fastballs. He's given up a ton of HR's


    so add all of the above with the heat, and that just about EVERY game went over and books have been shading the overs higher...

    why is this just a regular ole 8.5 game?

    like under but probably will pass. Pittsburgh home unders were gold in April and May, but in June the Pirates were one of the highest-scoring teams in baseball, and they hit lefties well.

    He started the season out bad for OKC in the minors, but his last 2 starts were impressive enough to call him up. Will it last? Who knows. This is the Astros we're talking about. As far as the Astros bats go. We hadn't scored more than 3 runs in a game for about a week until yesterday.

    all of this stuff the linesmakers new, when we were hitting submit on our tuesday wagers and while we watched the epic games yesterday.

    I just can't imagine why they set the line at 8.5

    what do they know?

    that right there is reason enough to pass on the under. McCutcheon could put up a handful of runs himself.

    Went with a small bet on the under. Public has been moving the number on the over. A little better value on the under now.
