Milwaukee vs. Arizona (Friday)

No coincidences · 05-07-10, 12:44 AM

I really love this play now.

Who knows what time MIL will be getting into town, and they're coming off a heart-breaking loss after a big comeback.

I hate backing Jackson, but he has to win at some point, doesn't he?

Yeah they still gotta travel... My thoughts exactly.

Jackson's actually been halfway decent at home (ERA under 5).

I'm not a big fan, though, of backing teams first game back from a long road trip on zero rest. That's the only tripping point for me; they tend to play flat.

A surprising under 9.5, perhaps?

Exactly my thoughts as well... put that in a blog already

... under I mean.

Well written. i just read your blog. You make a lot of good points on this game. I'm keeping my eye on this line.

What worries me on the under is both teams pens. For the under to hit both starters have to be on their game & pitch at least 6-7 innings each. If either team gets to the others pen early this could be a blow out cause both pens are garbage.

suppan/hawkins are spent so ur probably looking at coffey outta the pen

he & gallardo can pitch, so ur in decent shape there

but never underestimate macha's ability to eff up a situation

IF las vegas not order Ari to lose and IF Ari not having too heavy bet tickets on them then yes, Ari should win, we all know we are betting on the fixed game. the game result is all depends on which side bet tickets heavier to kill that side so casino MLB can make $

I do like your thinking but I have a hard time backing Jackson. Cubs bats were inconsistent too and the D-Back bullpen is not in anyway up to par if Jackson were to leave early. Fair enough, the got a day off yesterday but that won't make them suck less.

Like I said, I do respect your writings greatly but I will be on the other side of the fence tonight.

If you have been to my thread which I highly suggest you don't right now or just fade me you will be stunned with this play!

I actually like Arizona tomorrow.

Everyone seems to be in fade mode of Edwin Jackson right now for good reason so why is the line only at what it is! Early indications are that Milwaukee is getting pounded yet the line at Pinney is falling slightly. Many don't read into this, but if it continues to fall tomorrow I don't see that as a good thing for Milwaukee. Actually had some time so I wrote a blog about this game.

I like Edwin going tomorrow, finally back at home where he can build up some confidence against the inconsistent bats of my Brewers. His stuff can be nasty if he is on as he proved last year and the Brewers will be mostly facing him for the first time so he has time to get on them a bit.

Believe me I don't like posting this, but after a series win in LA, the Crew could possibly go back to shitting the bed!

Any thoughts? or am I just stupid!?!

im not convince jackson can win any game so im not going to play arizona with jackson pitching

fair enough .. and I think most would agree .. but if there ever was a time he could get off the schnide it could be this spot.....

he has sucked so why is this line not higher!

gryfyn1 · 05-07-10, 12:40 PM

Im not really sure where all the Edwin Jackson hate is coming from, yea he's had a rough start so far but he's 26 has improved the previous 3 seasons.

He's switching to the NL, and in all his peripheral stats aren't regressing, but his K rate is down, he will get better and really should be a solid player

For me Under.

Many don't buy in, but the line seems to still be dropping.

brock · 05-07-10, 03:45 PM

Edwin Jackson. Bum. Milw bats will be hot.

linedrivr · 05-07-10, 03:52 PM

what is it, a 45 minute plane flight from LA to Phoenix? I don't think travel will be an issue.

This game can Over in one inning!

mlb · 05-07-10, 05:30 PM

Line back up for Crew .. not sure if I'm playing this yet and this surely doesn't make me happy about it.
