    Because the value lies with the Astros so deal with it. Truthfully, Homer Bailey should not be a road favorite in the -150s when both starting pitchers have virtually identical FIPs.

    Because of what the ml is. The theory, that I subscribe to, is that with ml bets, you aren't just predicting the team most likely to win. You have to evaluate that in comparison to the price given.

    It's just like value betting horses, if you're familiar with that.

    My reasons may not be LT's, but that's why I bet underdogs sometimes, even though I may not be convinced that they are the probable winner.

    100% correct and I implied as much when I said Bailey shouldn't be this price on the road, which is the same thing as saying 'Stros are undervalued.

    So Bailey being -150 on the road makes sense to you?

    And that's why line is what it is. But if you look at FIP, you'll see starters are basically a wash. Yes Reds are stronger on other areas but I come up with them winning about 56% of the time.

    And if I'm not mistaken, laying -150 is equivalent to a 60% probability. Correct? So the value is basically in that 4% difference in theory I suppose. Out of say 100 times with said conditions, 4 games would make the difference... LOL. No wonder this game is a challenge.

    He doesn't even know what value is Noco. He is only worried about winners.

    56% is a no-vig line of +/-127

    Def makes sense, Cincy needs to control central division, bailey is 1 era and 1 whip with 3 wins last 3 games, Hoston lost 20 games in a row and out of the playoff picture, the line should be -175 plus.

    Not to mention that :
    BAILEY is 4-0 when starting against HOUSTON with an ERA of 1.60 and a WHIP of 0.921.

    NORRIS is 0-2 when starting against CINCINNATI with an ERA of 7.23 and a WHIP of 2.089.

    Can't believe I fell for the Philly under after watching that 9 run 8th inning last night. Wait til this game gets to the bullpen.

    i took 1 pick today from a random person on the forum and it was LT. I got bad timing it seems..LOL. All my picks are at least doing good so far. Up a good amount so as long as philly wins it a free roll for me.

    I already mentioned FIP, which is much more predictive then commonly available stats.
