    Dodgers/Blue Jays Discussion Thread

    Any opinions here? Did some light research, really like my boys in blue here with or without Matty "DL" Kemp.

    That looks good. As well as the fact JJ has always been a much worse 2nd half guy and these Dodgers are on f*cking fire right now. Anyone disagree on Dodgers at even money?

    This is a game you don't need much research on. Just read the line to know that its a winner.

    Remember Johnson is actually lights out vs the NL. This is why the jays thought he was good

    Kemp fell awkwardly at the plate yesterday afternoon. If Mattingly has any brain, he will sit him, or at least have him hit DL. Puig will almost definitely take his place.

    The Dodgers are on fire now, but TOR just got swept. They might come out swinging today and Ryu isn't that great on the road. If the OVER magically goes from 9 to 8.5 i'd jump on it.

    Good luck!

    Line is scary. Everything points at a win for the Dodgers, public all over it but the price got slightly better even. Annoying to pass on plus money like this and seeing it win easily though. Same goes for PIT@WAS today. How is Haren a favorite, honestly? So very tempted to hammer these games.

    same here. Reds, Pirates, and Dodgers at + money all look so very tempting.

    I don't understand this thought process. Maybe you can explain it? So because Toronto shouldn't be the favorite yet they are getting bad odds as the favorite, this makes you want to bet them?

    The thinking is that you're missing something the books aren't missing. The tough part is figuring out if this is one of those times or if it really is as easy as it looks. I usually either pass or go for what looks easy. If it turns out to be a trap then so be it, well played books.
