Dodgers vs. Pirates - Thursday

[Patrickz0rs]

Write Up: This is the third and final game of the series in Pittsburgh. The Dodgers lost the first game by a large number due to an unstable pitching outing. That was not the case on Wednesday when they lost by one run in extra innings. On Thursday, expect Chad Billingsley to have an impressive start against Paul Maholm who has a history of getting knocked around by the Dodgers. Expect Manny and Ethier to have a good day at the plate.

Pick: Dodgers ML @ -140

EDIT @ 11:15 AM: MANNY and ETHIER are NOT STARTING this game.

thats expecting to much for me to lay the juice...wouldnt think they get swept though, gl

[DennisGreen]

Dodgers should win tomorrow. Can't see them being swept by the Pirates.

[khaden]

Im in--I played the dodgers on monday and yesterday-Im going to continue to double down and chase them

[Patrickz0rs]

[starfire]

I heard Manny & Furcal might sit tomarrow.

[Lakers714]

I'm liking the dodgers tomorrow as well. Bills had a rough end to the season last year and I think he'll be jacked to come out strong in his first start. The dodgers manufacture runs and they haven't done that the past 2 games.

[Eagle1958]

Pirates and Phillies. The Pennsylvania Parlay wins again on Thursday.

Can anyone confirm if they are sitting out manny?

[Law-Byrnes]

This is the Bucco's year. LETS GO BUCS!

I can always trust a source who can't even spell tomorrow correctly...

Manny or no Manny, Kemp or Ether will step up and get the Dodgers first win tomorrow.

Lol, u don't really believe that right? No rotation and bullpen.

I might be wrong tomorrow but I've been pretty money the past 2 days. The dodgers win tomorrow. I think they'll play with a chip on their shoulder tomorrow while the bucs already won the series and won't care as much. I would usually fade the dodgers in this spot but they will want it more than the bucs tomorrow. I'll take the better offense, starting pitcher, and bullpen.

Dodgers get it done, that line is going to go up

[raiders32]

Dodgers will avoid the sweep.

[rob11234]

My money's on the Pirates. Like that money line.

[jboy4]

Already going up.

[ezmoney]

PIRATES seem to have their number, 5-1 SU last six at home. Staying away, Dodgers too pricey(-165)

EZ

[EaglesPhan36]

Manny may not play today. Not set in stone, but after extra innings and with a day game, might rest.

[Jones10]

I hope everyone here cashes in on this play I'm laying off it, can't trust their O right now

[SargeantHooker]

I also read that Manny will not play this afternoon. Torre has a plan not to play him afternoons after a night game. That being said, the Dodgers have an impressive young lineup and Billingsley is going to be a stud. I'm on the Dodgers 3x, Manny or not.

[BGray14]

i stay away from the dodgers, the pirates are playing very well so watch out. I do say this as a lifetime pirate fan though from pitsburgh. But O/U went down to 8, the over looks like the take here. Especially with Maholm on the mound

[Law-Byrnes]

Lol, u don't really believe that right? No rotation and bullpen.

I hope so.

[PorkChop]

Doesnt matter if Mannys sitting

[thespeculator]

manny , eithier and martin are supposed to be resting according to covers.com, last year they were pretty accurate with the thursday rests

3 days into the season and they won't care as much, come on people

Manny out. No big deal. Martin out. No big deal. Either out may make a difference.

[southpaw74]

Is that the reason it went from -144 to -165 this morning now back to -144? I just don't think they get swept...

[bretb27]

5 units on the dodgers... 2 units on the over... COME ON!!!

[Rixsaw]

from the look of it, everyone is chasing this game. I would say Pitt of layoff.

[iQon]

I'm chasing with the Phillies and Cards.

No Manny or Ethier.

[apwmel]

The Dodgers got swept last year in Pitt, so be careful with this one. This team may get off to a slow start this year.

[pokerpro44]

im on the dodgers ml

Lol, you have never played an active sport in your life huh? When you have already secured the series, you tend not to try as hard. It's common sense if you've been a part of a team sport.
Either way, the dodgers r a better team.
