Giants ML +101 (1x)

"can’t go against the Phillies today as they send postseason ace Cole Hamels (13-11, 2.94 ERA) to the mound for Game 3 in San Francisco. Hamels looked great in the NLDS against Cincinnati and he’s certainly been through many postseason wars before, so today in San Francisco won’t faze him.

Hamels threw a complete-game, five-hit shutout in Cincinnati in the first round of the playoffs, and he was outstanding down the stretch for these Phillies. He has allowed a grand total of one run in his last 24.2 innings on the road, and overall the Phillies are 6-2 in his last eight starts. He made one start in San Francisco this season and gave up four runs in six innings of a 7-6 Philadelphia victory, striking out 10 and walking four. The Phillies are 6-2 the last eight times he’s seen the Giants.

On the hill for the Giants is right-hander Matt Cain (13-11, 3.05 ERA) who hasn’t pitched in 10 days when he threw in Game 2 of the NLDS against the Braves. He gave up one unearned run in 6.2 innings but the Braves ended up rallying for a win, 5-4. His previous home start to that was in the final series of the season when the Padres got him for six runs in four innings of a 6-4 victory.

Cain saw the Phillies just once this season and gave up five runs, only two earned, in six innings of an 8-2 loss in Philadelphia. He’s made five starts against them in his career and the Giants are just 1-4.

Philadelphia comes in on several positive streaks, including 22-5 on the road, 53-20 overall, 37-14 against the N.L. West, 37-16 against right-handers, 5-1 when Hamels is a road favorite, 6-2 with him on the road and 5-1 when he faces a winning team. San Francisco is just 5-11 at home against teams with winning road marks".

[DMB40]

he got the job done versus philly in the series when they were down 1-0.

1-1 7era

2 games 9ip 7er.

I think yanks are the play today too but you never know what aj your gonna get. He has something to prove tonight

[DC]

Philly / San Fran TT over 3 are juiced -135 and -125, but the total under 6 1/2 is the one juiced to -120 . I am confused... Over 6 1/2 looks like play to me. Why the under play LB?

[Brocc]

I hear Fatboy is playing 3rd today for the Giants & Uribe is possibly out again. That should be fun to watch.

Phils get to Cain early and he'll make his exit by the 6th.

Phils a bargain at - 115

Phils (10X)

[lakerboy]

Brocc the game will be under 3.5 for the ff and it will be 1-1 or 0-0. This game will be decided in the bullpens.It will be a pitchers duel.no way philly will lead after 5 innings.

[BetterBizness]

Wasn't that the name of a Canadian country singer when we were growing up? I swear he had his own show on CBC, maybe on Saturday nights or something. Always think of him whenever I see this dude's name on here.

And there you have my entire input on this game.

Thomas James "Tommy" Hunter, CM, O.Ont (born March 20, 1937 in London, Ontario) is a Canadian country music performer, known as "Canada's Country Gentleman".... The Tommy Hunter Show began as a CBC radio program in 1960 and went on to replace Country Hoedown on CBC television in 1965; Hunter's show was picked up by TNN in 1983 and ran on CBC until 1992 ...

And there is my solid addition to the LB MLB thread.. but I REFUSE to play any banjos...

I was in agreement with the play last nite on the Yanks and it lost, it happens. Tonite the play on the Yanks is as strong as you will see in this playoffs imo. Yes, Burnett has been a dissapointment. Let's not forget when guys of his caliber struggle during the season and get an opportunity to step up in the playoffs they usually come up aces. All that Burnett has done that has been dissappointing will be wiped out tonite if he comes up big. Remember, in NY you are graded on post season success. Yankess take going to the playoffs for granted and will not care what he did April-September. Just like when A-rod was MVP of the league a few yrs back and chocked his balls off in the playoffs. It took A-rod coming thru last season in the playoffs for the fans to forgive him. Just wait.. Burnett comes up aces tonite he can carve out his own legacy because this is a big game and the Yanks sure need him tonite like never before.


All that being said I look for a strong performance from Burnett tonite, but it really doesn't have to be mythical for the Yanks to win. I think Tommy Hunter will be ripped tonite. Hunter, has been servicable pitcher, but tonite's task is daunting and the atmosphere might be more than he would like to handle.

Yanks at -145 is value. We have a pitcher that has went from the hunter to the hunted. Went from the favorite his whole life to the underdog tonite although the Yanks are favored Burnett is in a underdog's role and I think he relishes it tonite.

Well written analysis...

LB, we'll make this wager 500 like we always do our friendly bets. 2k points is alot to make up especially after I lost 4k on my special a week ago. And u made some very STRONG points over the phone yesterday night.

And since it's friendly, u'll be having the Yanks @ even money.

[Brocc]

LB you already drew your line in the sand with your SF (1X) play, although that's your smallest unit wager so I know your confidence in this play is minimal.

You read lines and movement, and sometimes you just have to throw that out the window and play the game. Sharps can't account for that mistake error, or pitch that shouldn't have been in the wrong spot. Cain is an average pitcher with an average line up providing minimal run support. If you want to read lines, then from my book nice money just came in on the Phils to -117.

[paciophobia]

im really liking the over on the yanks game. the TT lines are set high at 5 for the yanks and 4.5 for the rangers. wouldve loved to play the TT for the rangers but i think the over9.5 is the best play here. can't wait for this game to start.

[lyon804]

Thanks We all have opinions. Some work, some don't, but I like this one.

Sounds good to me bro. Done.

Accurescore is on both the Rangers and the Giants ML.

[artie81]

Phillies early... Rangers late Put them on the board

[MidgetTossers]

Uribe is at 3rd renteria at ss and rowand replaces torres. No fat bastard

[broadway6]

I think phils tt o3 is the play today

[Brocc]

Uribe is at 3rd renteria at ss and rowand replaces torres. No fat bastard

Desperate move benching Torres who scored runs all season long & pulling Aaron Rowland off the shelf, better blow that dust off him. Plus moving Ross to the 5 spot. Uribe playing is still not a definite, that's still hope for Fat Boy

Will there even be any fans in the stands?

AT&T park will be rocking just like when they were fighting for division against Padres

What are you suppose to do with a plyaer thats struggling? I wouldnt call it a desperate move its the right move especially since he hasnt been swinging the bat at all since coming back from surgery. Im outside for the pre game show! A lot of people are here already!!

[The Architect]

Yanks tonight.

Fat boy is not playing. Uribe is in. As for your other comments, to you and the almighty phillies this is philly fans world and we are all just living in it. All hail the mighty phillies!!

[tony_come]

good luck on whoever you wager boys/gals bitches

[JayRow]

LB, If youre on Yankees, why don't you make your play now? The line seems to not get any better for Yankees backers...

[$Burm$]

[og4667]

the over looks good for the Yanks game. Burnett will give up his share and so will Hunter. Two RHP at Yankee Stadium with the total at 9.5 = a play on the over.

[Pauulzcappin]

Burnett will give up 10 runs by himself, cover the over

[KJ90]

whats the play boys u6.5 ??

[t-wizzle]

Well it took you long enough, but you finally figured it out.

[t-wizzle]

Pauulz, I give you 115 if Giants win. You give me 100 if Phillies win.
