Phillies -147..what am I missing here?

One day the Philly bats resemble the '27 Yankees, the next day it looks like a lineup of Mario Mendozas against Cy Young. You never know which one you're going to get.

You do have a point, but on the other hand...coming from a philly fan...these boys turn it up a notch in september and they have showed us they can do it and do it every year..

This is the play of the day among all the other ball games

When Hamels pitches Phillies bats tend to get cold and give him no run support. Phillies ML worth and small play or Consider the under 8 Regardless never a good idea to pound an MLB game in sept. GL

It is when the Phillies battors finally came to life. Under is too iffy, last time Hamels pitched everyone had the under, the game was I think a 16-10 type game lol

I never bet under with Hamels, never

here are some Hamels notes:
" LHP Cole Hamels will take a 25-inning scoreless streak into Tuesday's start at Florida. The last run scored off Hamels was a home run from Houston's Carlos Lee on Aug. 24. In three starts since, Hamels has struck out 18, walked four and held the opposition to a .147 batting average in 22 innings."*
"His record would be well over .500 if not for receiving the fourth-lowest run support (3.18 runs per start) of any starter this season entering the game. The Phillies entered having scored only 19 runs in Hamels' last 11 starts. They scored two or fewer runs in 13 of his first 28 starts."*

I am a philly fan, too, and that hamels' si spread was collaged and hung on the wall in my son's room. he is the most important player on the phils, maybe the best, in my opinion.
I completely agree that Hamels -147 is a steal; however, with that being said, Mendez debuted against the phils going 6 innings and allowing one hit. A lot of times the phils struggle against a guy they have never seen before, and maybe they blow him up tonight.. but given these few notes and stats, the -147 seems fair.
Im on a parlay tonight.
Hamels + Wainwright + SeattleStorm 'round +200.
Good luck and go Phils.

I cashed PHILLIES yesterday BIG! it was my game of the day, and i HATE my hometown FISH, but honestly, something tells me to stay out of this one. I hve no real reason to back the fish, but SOMEthing tells me they take it tonight....

BOL friend

Line has moved ; but still seems like a great spot for Hamels and the Phils.

line seems so low that I haven't played the game yet , almost seems too easy.

phLLyphan11 · 09-14-10, 03:25 PM

You aren't missing anything here. Hamels is scorching hot. Phillies win.

Mikail · 09-14-10, 03:31 PM

I am a Phillies fan, but something seems funny here. Can't back the Phillies tonight. I have a hunch Marlins may take this one.

jorge1 · 09-14-10, 03:38 PM

mikail, i do as well...i hate marlins, but i am dead honest in saying that i looked at the card and said "im taking PHILS and KC tomorrow" and woke up and the first thing that came to mind was FLORIDA WINS...

I looked at it closely and i just dont like not knowing how well this kid mendez will pitch. I mean, Its easy to take him as an easy loser but none of us really KNOW this pitcher, and last time he pitched against them he OWNED them...I am staying clear of this one and betting tomorrow's game on PHILLIES regardless of today's result (probably).

Yeah I was kind of leaning Marlins TT O 3.5 but just can't get a feel for that either. Best thing is to leave this one alone and wait for tonight's result. If Phillies drop this one then tomorrow will be worth a look.

Rookie-Capper · 09-14-10, 04:08 PM

wow i had overlooked this one looks like a winner

yomillionaire · 09-14-10, 04:10 PM

Marlins are 27-11 versus lefties this season. Also the rookie pitched 5.0 ip in his first start and looked sharp.

betsmart · 09-14-10, 04:18 PM

like Philly in this spot

cecil127 · 09-14-10, 04:31 PM

im on the under 8 (-105) and first team to 3 runs: neither (+700)
mendez took it to em last time out and hamels is tough in sept (roll eyes/cross fingers)

Baxter Man13 · 09-14-10, 04:34 PM

It is now -151

Phillies ML it is. Easy winner tonight for my boys. Big game from Utley

Power Play · 09-14-10, 05:37 PM

Both teams have a case of feast or famine at times. Marlins have next to none capable left hand bats; which means that all their offensive potency was achieved from the right side (against Lefty Hamels). Vegas is not in the buisness of giving away free money to Phillies betters.

kobefanatic · 09-14-10, 06:03 PM

took marlins

jagaf22 · 09-14-10, 07:13 PM

Let's see how this one plays out.

Baxter Man13 · 09-14-10, 08:39 PM

Hamels is stirking out these fish left and right

This stat is complete garbage as you can see Hamels has 11 strikeouts against the fish tonight..Stats do not mean crap in September baseball

FYI

Baxter Man13 · 09-14-10, 08:44 PM

Correction 12 strikeouts ...200 for the season for Hamels

Baxter Man13 · 09-14-10, 08:45 PM

13 strikeouts now for Hamels tonight against the fish

Chad Durbin is going to fukk me though when it comes time for the bullpen...Have a bad feeling

It helps a ton when the opposing batters just look at fastball strikes down the middle and swing at those pitches that are only inches from the dirt. In his last two innings Hamels struck out four straight batters swinging at Ball 4.

I'll be shocked if those bats get more than three hits off Halladay.

-250 in chalk for the phillies tonight...not worth it when your offense could only get two runs last night
