    Yu Darvish will pitch Friday, not today

    Scott Baker gets the start tonight, due to the rain delay.

    Forgive me for being ignorant, but why does a rain delay cause the original starter to not pitch?

    This game is likely to be delayed again, I figure they just dont want to waste their best pitchers start on a game that probably wont be finished

    it doesn't usually

    but if the team is being extra careful, like Texas is with Yu, they might not want him to start after he was thrown out of his original routine

    or it could be like Ravensfan said, if they think there could be more delays


    Game just started, btw

    yeah the forecast calls for more rain tonight

    better for Yu, he gets to face the Mets (Citi Field, no DH) rather than the Orioles.

    Not sure why you'd want that. You would've wound up with Baltimore -165 or -170.

    Action is generally a terrible idea because you end up with a blind bet if the pitcher is scratched.

    You don't get to keep your original odds.


    Yeah, everyone would love Baltimore +120 if that's how it worked, but books don't give you the +120, they give you the new line.

    Otherwise it'd be easy. You could bet action anytime the opposing pitcher might be scratched.

    But then you'd have Baltimore around -180 instead of the + odds you got.
