American league moneyline for a small wager

I second that, Moneyline on Al and the over

NL +103

National League should be a slight favorite. Like their pitching and lineup more this year.

I want to take the NL, just cuz I think they'll buck the recent AL winning trend, but their lineup is nowhere near as good. Yadier Molina? Ramirez and Ibanez both coming off injury? Victorino? Wright? A bunch of these guys are having sub-par years. Some will say, but what about Pujols playing at home? Well, he didn't do much in the HR derby now did he... Someone give me a case for the NL, aside from a slight pitching advantage.

I pick the over to win tonight.

So much disagreement haha. Baseball-reference has a great breakdown. Both starting teams have poor numbers vs. opposing starting pitcher. However NL will likely go with Haren after 3 innings and the AL will counter with Greinke. AL starters have unbelievable numbers against Haren, absolutely crushing him. I was leaning towards NL FF but am now really considering just laying off this game. Similarly, NL starters have very good numbers against Greinke, who has also not been pitching as well of late. The Under FF has hit the last 3 years but still not sold.

AL - They prove year in and year out to be the better league.

Under 9.5. Just too much pitching on both sides.

I KNOW I won't want to watch this game for very long, so I bet the "no score - 1st inning" and will be changing channels once the bet wins or loses.

The under 9.5 looks real good, not sure if I will bet it yet.

Chi_archie · 07-14-09, 05:13 PM

not really betting much on this one... but taking the nl and the over

and a couple bucks on some of the higher overs such as over 19.5 for +2000-somthing... just for fun

under 9.5
