Lackey is one of top 20 pitchers in the league, facing the BLUE JAYS at home. Toronto just can't beat boston, even boston fans outnumber toronto fans at the rogers center

Even through the internet bubble burst, 9/11 and the financial collapse, Vegas continues to build bigger and better casinos/hotel. Are they on crack?

lackey is certainly better than brad mills. L10 ERA under 5, compared with Mills who has nothing to show for anything.

boston loves to dominate young inexperienced pitching, i see another blowout in the making.

So why is the line where it is?

you already know why. action on both sides, jays at home, lagged sox lineup..decent jays record since ASB.

there's so many reasons i'm almost talking myself out of this play, but i just can't boston really should win tomorrow. whenever you think the jays are due for a hot game, well you know what happens

You couldn't pay me to place another bet on this series.

Two losses is enough.

Pauulzcappin · 08-11-10, 11:12 PM

Toronto is gonna make Lackey pay by throwing those meatballs and hanging breakers down the middle, trust me.

They already done it this year when I faded the fat boy.

bosox are fighting for their lives at this point. t-dot is just trying to hit HR's for contracts

Pauulzcappin · 08-11-10, 11:14 PM

Toronto's TT over might be a big play for me, one of the biggest of the last few weeks.

Francona just won't let the bosox lose

If lackey blows his start, the sox have a better bullpen than the Jays have starting pitching.

That's what I'm thinking.

BOS may be the play, but you couldn't hold a gun to my head and make met place a wager on Fatkey.

Top-20 pitcher.

lunchbawks · 08-11-10, 11:16 PM

where would you rank mills in comparison to lackey?

Mills isn't good. I agree with you there.

I'm just saying TOR will get their runs in this one, and if BOS trots a sub-par lineup out there, this game suddenly becomes much more complicated.

Pauulzcappin · 08-11-10, 11:20 PM

Do you wanna know why the line is -102? I'll tell you.

Lackey got bitchslapped like a fat whore the last time he was on Rogers Centre.

A powerful hitting team to avoid the sweep at home against a pitcher they have had recent success against.

And Red Sox lineup never seen Mills.

limitation · 08-11-10, 11:21 PM

You guys seriously under estimate Red Sox. They have two of their best hitters out of line up and they are still dangerous. Lackey might give up 6+ runs tomorrow, but that doesn't mean Red Sox offense won't be able to back him up.

lunchbawks · 08-11-10, 11:21 PM

Sub par batting for the red sox is usually better than the jays full strength. We have lowell hitting homeruns in this series

limitation · 08-11-10, 11:22 PM

I won't have a play in this game but go ahead and bet against Red Sox, if you think they are a joke.

And mills has never seen the red sox, where's the advantage?

BigDaddy · 08-11-10, 11:30 PM

i like boston as well

pittmatt80 · 08-11-10, 11:32 PM

Vegas isn't smoking crack kinda looking like a trap game. Toronto is a very good team and this game should be a pretty good one. I agree Lackey is one of the top 20 pitchers in the league but everybody has an off day. I'm liking the over staying away from picking either one. Good Luck

gilbert91016 · 08-11-10, 11:40 PM

How bout just taking the over on the game!!

You shouldnt be allowed to bet if your asking that question!! If you have never seen a pitcher before it usually benefits the pitcher quite a bit so the Sox might struggle to hit off Mills early IDK..What I do know is the Jays have been hitting just as well as the Sox lately and will have no trouble with Lackey!

Blue Jays are 5-1 in their last 6 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30. (Lackey-top 20

)

Honestly I dont think they lose again at home but its close...

raiders32 · 08-12-10, 12:02 AM

My money is on Boston winning.

redsoxmn89 · 08-12-10, 12:04 AM

lackey has to step it up for boston and not have another start like he did against ny

TBrady12 · 08-12-10, 12:22 AM

JOHN LACKEY is one of the top TWENTY pitchers in mlb??! and u actually got another poster to agree w/ this ridiculous statement??! are YOU guys smoking crack??!

boeing power · 08-12-10, 12:28 AM

Over over over

ehp6737 · 08-12-10, 12:30 AM

sox are gonna sweep and yes...over

biggie12 · 08-12-10, 12:33 AM

KUSH BY DA POUND · 08-12-10, 12:35 AM

D3 Mighty Ducks · 08-12-10, 12:36 AM
