CC vs Blanton - Whatcha got?

[tbond10]

I really like the yankees in this position. I think it's a HUGE mistake by the phils not to start Lee here.

That said, -169 is a lot to lay so I think I'll lay 2units on -169 and 2 units on the RL -110. What are everyone else's thoughts on this game?

I'm expecting CC to have another good game so it's tough for me to bet the o/u here as well. I did take 1.5 units on no run in the 1st just for fun as well...

:Cheers:

Took the Yanks as well, mainly b/c of C.C. Definently agree that -169 was a lot lay, but I really like the Yanks chances tonight. GL to ya!

[tbond10]

Make that 3.5 units on -169 and 2 units on RL.... Thanks whatsgood5, Good Luck to you as well!

Baseball forum is absolutely DEAD for a World Series night.... for obvious reasons though..

[The General]

If I were picking a side and I may yet, I'd take the Phillies.

GL, Everyone and enjoy the game.

yankees win series 4-1

[tbond10]

The General, why do you lean that way?

[Chi_archie]

only value is in phils


and that's only due to huge burden this is on CC, taking the ball with short rest with THIS amount of PRESSURE is gonna factor in sooner or later.......and the extra huge home crowd push they'll get tonight, half of their fans will be super drunk from the Eagles game, crossing the street


however if this game goes to extra innings... most of those fans will be too drunk or out cold to make a difference and I give the edge to the yanks

[tbond10]

Chi_archie, I dont disagree with the value argument. -169 is high, however +149 I didn't feel was enough value in a situation like this (cc vs blanton). I really look at this as a significant mismatch in pitching. I still don't understand not starting Lee here. I understand the short rest deal but this is the WS. This is a must win for the phillies in my opinion now AT HOME. Start Lee here AND in game 7 otherwise, good luck getting to a game 7.

That said, I think you're also right about the drunk factor. After the Eagles whooped up on the Giants you KNOW that town is blind stinkin drunk right now. No chance they make it past the 3rd inning! This is philly we're talking about, half of em are drunk and throwing up in an alley, the other half are fighting with each other or locked up after the fight....

The sad part is, I'm rooting for the phillies for the series, but because of this move, I think I'm in trouble...

[Chi_archie]

I think people under-estimate how hard it is to throw 100+ pitches with 3 days rest... let alone doing it after you've been throwing every 5th day for 7 months.

CC is a horse, but sooner or later you run out of gas

[MrMonkey]

Phillies +157

[Chi_archie]

by the way Blanton got a bad rap the last few years before this one


but this year he has been decent...and post april he has been very good 3.94 ERA since May 1


3.62 post AllStar era 3.77 home era for the year


the one thing that concerns me is his career numbers for arod and Teixeira

combined 13 of 34 with 5 hr's against him

[Atlantic]

Took the Yankees Team Total over 5

[tbond10]

Atlantic, I like the bet. Unfortunately my book doesn't have the option otherwise I'd be all over it. I'd like to bet able to be the over here but that comes down to Chi_archie's point... pitching on short rest. I think the yankees can put up some runs against Blanton but if CC pitches like he did earlier in the series Philly could have a hard time matching it... However, if Chi_archie's point holds true and CC's stuff isn't sharp due to lack of rest, the over could have quite a bit of value at 8.5.... matter of fact, I think I just talked myself into the over for 1 unit!

Hope your a prophet Chi! Need the Phils to continue winning as bad as my NFL year has been!

[Gman269]

I think the Phills hit CC tonite, At least I hope so or it's over. They may win one more with Lee if they loose but a lose tonite and the Yanks are a lock for the series. [ second tjme I ever used the word lock in a post]

[Chi_archie]

I have to run the #'s one last time but I think this is a rare immortal dead bolt lock

[dhicks2010]

Well, I got killed on FB this weekend, and I'm thinking Yanks here, so any numbers would be appreciated...
