    For as bad as Hellickson has been, the Rays opened at +100

    Interesting. I figured they'd be +110 minimum given Hellickson's struggles. I know it's been bumped up to that now, but I'm not sure I'd declare the Rays dead just yet.

    +113 sounds like the place to be today.

    I heard Wil Myers may not play.

    Hey Coin is this play made based on the line or
    do you actually think Hellickson is capable?

    It's rediculous how these lines have been so close every game. Vegas espn and the world has no respect for the Red Sox.

    Red Sox should be a -155 favorite tonight

    Red Sox were the favorite to win the World Series to begin the playoffs.

    Sox are the best team in baseball .. aint no doubt about that

    but its usually not the best team who ends up winning

    You're kidding, right? ESPN slurps Boston/NY c*ck every chance they get. The lines are where they are because Vegas knows even though Boston won the season series 12-7, most of those wins were first half of the season. The last 11 games (including playoffs) are 6-5 in favor of the Rays, hence the "close" lines. Instead of whining you should be happy for the "disrespectful" line and hammer away.

    You clearly don't watch much espn
    And if you think my comments are whining, educate yourself.

    I'm plenty educated, thank you. You post "Vegas espn and the world has no respect for the Red Sox." Sounds like whining to me. And ridiculous isn't spelled with an "e".

    Peavy hasn't pitched any better for the last month either. Hellickson actually has better numbers for September. Peavy has been giving up walks at alarming rate. I like Rays at home +108.

    Wrong again. Direct quotations (your statement), punctuation inside quotes. Back on topic, the odds are where they should be, respect has nothing to do with it. Take it or leave it.
