TexasVSIndians Thoughts?

[mrerra]

Hi, first post here so be nice =)
I want some input in the Tex-Indians game.
Ive been doing some reading and cant really see texas as a dog in this game, can anyone with better knowlege be kind to tell me why.
Thinking of putting 5 units on tex as it looks now on +116.

Indians are hot and Laffey is 3-0 with a 1.98 ERA in 4 home starts this year. I like Texas though.

Major thing going for Cleveland is Laffey's home stats, as pointed out above, and their bats are hot, hot, hot ... Indians have won 4 of last 5 games and are now returning home.

Texas, however, NEEDS a win to maintain a playoff spot. Nippert has been solid but doesn't go late. Their numbers vs. Laffey are SIZZLING. They have a higher winning percentage vs. LHP and Indians have a lower winning percentage vs. RHP.

I agree that Texas shouldn't be that large of a dog, I think it should be a little closer to a pick'em. But, it's honestly a huge question of which Texas team shows up tonight and I think that gives Cleveland the edge. Texas has been pretty inconsistent at the plate. I think a small play on Texas is worth it and will probably be playing it myself. Might even consider the RRL.

Cle is a non-official JM play.

People have different opinions on the system but either way, no way can argue its not a good idea to bet against it.

Texas also has the lowest RRL on the board -1.5 only +171 ... Still a tough call.

I like how Texas has performed against the stronger teams... They havent been perfect by any means but they have been consistent. Texas does not get swept by Cleveland, so which match up is best??? I think + money is good for me, they wont be a dog for the rest of the series...

Rangers are the play

I'm leaning Texas, especially if Nelson Cruz comes back tonight.

Fukkers cant some of you like the Indians?!?!?!?

[Panekkkk]

Haha ... I like the Rangers but I HATE betting against the Indians. Those ****ers are bastards. Shin Shoo Choo Choo train and his ****ing 4-hit games whenever I bet against them!

[themajormt]

They have went 5-3 since the Martinez trade but the catching position is a big ?

Texas has the superior pitching staff, and Texas is playing without Kinsler and is 6-5 since he has been hurt... This is Texas' 8th game in a row on the road BUT did have yesterday off luckily...

I think Laffey being unhittable early on was because there werent many scouting reports on him as a starter... Sea, CWS, and LAA all got to him... Same can be said for Nippert... I definitely see WHY Texas is the dog here, but I am standing by Texas even though the world likes them today...

And the fact that the Rangers players have ripped apart Laffey also helps!

[themajormt]

Yes but in limited appearances... I hope to god this hits, I honestly wont be too disappointed if it doesnt. I took it bc of the + money value...
