    Giants World Series Price +161

    Gotta roll with the Giants here. I feel they are just as good as detroit and with +161 available I can't see how you can't take them. They have the experience of 2 years ago as well. They have the arms to match the tigers. They have timely hitting. They want this so bad and I know the tigers are a very hyped machine with baseballs stud pitcher and stud hitter but so often those teams lose in these spots. The giants will have even more value if they lose game 1 but I never take the chance of waiting till the second game. The time off does not bode well for the tigers as well. I like the tigers fans as they are very passionate nowadays since they got good again. Nice battle of fat boys sandoval and fielder as well but man prince does not seem like a big game guy. I think the giants carry momentum here and win in 5 maybe 6 games.

    Giants series +161 (10x)


    Paco I know you are laughing bro.

    He dislikes the Tigers, but he likes money. Therefore, he loves the Giants.

    Prince will need to do more than specialize in celebration high fives and game ending pop-ups if the Tigers are going to have a chance. It seems everybody on the Giants is hitting, which in turn just gives them more outs in this series it seems.

    Again, if you really like the Giants, take them in Game 1 instead of for the series.

    Then if they lose, take the series price after Game 1.

    Like the Cardinals last year overcoming so many near death situations in their path to title, Giants is destined to win it all this year. Long layoff time is not good for Tigers. Playoff is all about momentum and rhythm.

    I hope you get this right because the last time you predicted championship games, you lost both.

    NBA: Thunder underdog bet losing to Heat.
    Euro Soccer: Italy underdog bet losing to Spain.

    Detroit will win this series. Big deal they won 3 in a row. They did the same thing against Cincy and the "momentum" meant jack shit.

    Giants haven't faced any pitching even close to Detroit's. Verlander wins Game 1 and Tigers at worst split before coming back home and probably finishing them off there.

    Wiz you hate the giants ever since they slapped around the phils two years ago. Remember how everyone thought the tigers would beat the cards in 05? They got whipped, Tigers are good but let's be real here - the value is on the giants.

    It has nothing to do with hate. The Giants are overmatched on the mound and at the plate and the middle 3 at home for Detroit will work in their favor. Posey and Pence have been shit and it will finally catch up to them.

    The hourglass finally ran out on the Cards magic. They handed San Fran that series with mistake after mistake. Detroit won't do that.

    During the Offseason I got the Giants at 20 to 1 odds and Tigers at 8 to 1 odds. Also had Phillies 5.5 to 1 odds and Cardinals 20 to 1 odds.
    This game is a lock for me. I don't need to bet and let it ride out.

    Cards had a good run but reality set in. Detroit makes lots of mistakes. How good is there defense and catcher at throwing out runners?

    Only 2 Giants are hitting better than .250 in playoffs. Panda and Scutaro. The rest of the team aint hitting for shiit.

    Giants also have a huge advantage in the bullpen

    Valverde is almost unusable, Tigers have no closer

    Thinking along the same lines LB. Verlander did have something like 8 losses this year so he is beatable. If Zito can come close to his last outing, this could be a very interesting game and the plus money is where you want to be. The thing is that the SF series price is very close to what Zito's price is for game 1. In addition, SF does seem to start off slow and finish strong so the longer the series goes, the more it would favour SF of winning. Not sure I like Bumgarner against Fister for game 2 so I'm leaning towards taking Zito in game 1 and then Detroit in game 2. After that when it comes down to a best of 5, I'll consider taking the SF series price as they should still be a dog with games 3/4/5 all being in Detroit. Good luck in your plays.

    fak man. lakerboy, i have nothing against you but I've seen your baseball threads on the Cards...etcetc. PLEASE don't jinx my Giants.

    but I agree it's not about the PLUS money. it's value. Giants have momentum, take them while they are hot. As for me, I'm taking them game 1 with Zito. If they lose, then I'll take the series bet for +200 value.

    we take this jinxing shit too serious, whether the player's girl has her period has more to do with the outcome of the game than some jackass' opinion. let's go steal dirty tampon's from the trash now and get an edge before tomorrow's garbage man comes.

    giants win series

    No this isn't a fade pick. It is a good choice based on the return and the advantage you have in numerous statistical areas. Having a +155 ML for a team such as the Giants is great value IMHO. I was on this line as soon as it came out, Giants are the play tomorrow, this is not the Oakland A's or NY Yankees (playoffs) we are talking about a team that gets clutch hits with RISP, and actually was one of the highest Runs Per Game Avg. of any team after the All-star break, they have a better bullpen (understatement), and Zito unconventionally will come and pitch his life out tomorrow.

    Figured I would crush the closer again when I got Det-140. Hard to decide whether this ends in 5 or 6.
