    simple answer here,,,,fukk no....no disrespect to zoolander and sure he will prob win but you should never have to lay damn near 3 to 1 on a fukkin baseball gm, i cant imagine it even that huge a help in a parlay, which im sure was the idea...

    Baffling. It's because most cappers are lazy and want a "sure thing" so they pay ridic juice and ignore other games on tr board that have much better value at a better price

    see i feel like you almost have to take weaver here or pass or if you trust Shields just play the under...weaver in about as good a spot as Price yesterday, team off a shutout loss, weaver off a very rare home loss, and not all that expensive by weaver standards anyways... personally i hate the angels (mainly cause of albert phoney ass, even tho im glad he left stl as i said plenty of times last yr it would kill franchise to give that asssclown a 10 yr deal)..

    i basically never trust arroyo enough to play him, even tho the dude is solid he is always a candidate to get shelled imo

    cain kinda been a mess since the perfecto..actually have faded him quite a bit, that said pads usually turn back into a pumpkin when they get back to petco...

    Some people crack me up! No offense Monchito but that was simply a "spot" win and a pitching mismatch for the Muts last night. Everyone on here has been riding the Reds nuts for weeks and now since they lose to NY we assume the Cubs are gonna roll in and beat them? Not just the Reds lost last night to a team trying to avoid the brooms. Zona, Pitt, Texas, Oakland, and even the disaster reality show Red Sox all won. It's hard to sweep a team in mlb. Be careful with Wood that last game he won vs. Cincy was in a little more pitcher friendly Wrigley with the wind at his back fyi.

    And hell no.. you NEVER lay 3-1 odds on a fukkin baseball game unless you are crazy. Gl though I'm sure some people will bite and they probably win but not worth the risk. Also keep in mind how bad that Tiger pen is. If Balty even gets 1 inning with them anything can happen.

    It's all relative. Let's say you got a $500 parlay and you have your two picks and you want a 3rd leg. I mean that payout is gonna be pretty big even with that -260. I like Verlander here but I would never lay that kind of juice. I'm gonna throw him in on a parlay but I got 3 others to go with it so it'll pay big.

    On a side note.. Weaver was -250 and lost @ home last game so keep in mind it's baseball and anything can happen. Ive bet every single Weaver game except that one because I just didn't like it. I pay heavy juice if I like it enough. I really like Weaver tonight @ that price.

    Yeah I recommend Weaver/Verlander first five innings parlay. Personally, I only bet Weaver first five innings for tonight because I'm on the defensive due to losing. With outstanding pitchers who have low ERAs, I find doing first five innings keeps me in the Win or Push column, and away from the Loss column. Last week for instance, Weaver was a push in five innings when his team lost vs Seattle. Verlander's game where he lost to Rangers was a push for 5 innings - those who bet on the full game ended up losing. Felix when he got shelled by Halos - that was a push for five innings. When Price's team loses, it's typically a push for five innings.

    The downside to 5 innings is that sometimes you get a push instead of a win - but I don't mind - better than losing.

    Outstanding pitchers who don't have superb ERAs but who have a strong bullpen - like Burnett - I bet on the whole game.

    And there's not a single -200 in there. Most of those are totals @ even money or sub -150. Guys busting my balls and I swept 4 games last time I posted. Lol
