tribe is done.

[pico]

they shouldn't even play game 7...they'll just embrass themselves more.

[bigboydan]

I'm rolling with the Tribe in game 7 Pico.

not to offend you, but what the hell are you on, bbd. tribe has mentally collasped. there is no way they can win game 7.

[bigboydan]

I'm not on anything Pico.

DiceK hasn't pitched all that great in the post-season, and I don't think tonights humiliating loss will effect them tomorrow at all. Besides, anything can happen in a game 7.

[pico]

Sun 10/21 977 Cleveland Indians
J. Westbrook +1.5 -134 +151 OVER 10 -112
12:00 PM 978 Boston Red Sox
D. Matsuzaka -1.5 +124 -159 UNDER 10 +102


yep, at -160, i don't think tribe has a chance at all

[Doc JS]

In baseball, momentum is tomorrow's starting pitcher.

Westbrook pitched much better than Dice-K earlier in the series.

I think the line for game 7 is right on, with Boston being a pretty substantial fave. Yes, Westbrook outpitched Daisuke in game 3, but pitching in a 7th game at Fenway, where Boston's lineup is significantly more effective, is an entirely different matter. For as good as Westbrook pitched in game 3, he was on the ropes in the 2nd inning w/the bases loaded an no one out, only to be bailed out by Coco Crisp, who will never step foot on the field in a Boston uniform again. Westbrook's been terrible in two career starts at Fenway (10.2 IP, 20 H, 10 R), and I'd be surprised if he duplicated the success he had at the Jake.

As for Daisuke, there certainly isn't much confidence he will pitch well, but he will have an extremely short leash tomorrow night, and the bullpen is in great shape. Wakefield will likely be called upon first if Matsuzaka doesn't have it, with Beckett also being available for an inning or 2. Okajima and Papelbon are also rested and available for an extended period.

Even with the uncertainty surrounding Matsuzaka, I think Boston's edge tomorrow is sizable.

Game 7 is a crap shoot. How many times did Clev lose 3 straight this year? They got a coins flip chance at a + price.

So, rjt, are you riding the Sox or are you taking the Tribe at a + price?

[jjgold]

its over

congrats Sox!

[Zeroed]

He´s just always betting the dogs.
No offense bbd..you are a good moderator, but are you really playing all those games you post?
For decent amounts i mean, not 20$ stuff. I can´t take it serious anymore when i see your lean on a game, wonder why

[rjt721]

So, rjt, are you riding the Sox or are you taking the Tribe at a + price?

Not betting the game. I think the line is accurate.

Good luck with your wager (unless you play Cleveland ).

[buzzsawl]

Boston is a steamroller bye bye tribe

[jon13009]

Sox win!

Now finish the job and trash the Rockies!

Beckett must be laughing his butt off after that cheap play by CLE in game 5!

[dodif]

they shouldn't even play game 7...they'll just embrass themselves more.

[Rollins08]

Anybody who is not a Red Sox fan should be rooting for the Rockies.

[jon13009]

No question.

But are the rockies the better team? While the Rockies won 2 out 3 last June, This is a 7 game series, with the World Series at stake.

Hope the Sox can pull this one out.
