Charlie Morton is pitching for PIT tomorrow

lunchbawks · 09-16-10, 12:36 AM

Yep and i feel like a jackass for taking the bait.

I literally can't pick a winner to save my life, I've lost 7 consecutive S/U bets

hawley · 09-16-10, 12:37 AM

lakerboy · 09-16-10, 12:50 AM

And they still lost. PIT is 7-45 in their last 52 road games.

Yes. What is there +1.5 record in those games?

thirtytwo · 09-16-10, 01:14 AM

And the total is 8

Angela · 09-16-10, 01:26 AM

kinda like the over...Mets pitcher should give up at least 3 runs.

Fishscale · 09-16-10, 01:38 AM

Was thinking of taking the Pirates reverse run line at +2500.

I've been losing so many baseball games I've resorted to a new method: Making my picks like I normally do, then reversing them.

Pauulzcappin · 09-16-10, 01:45 AM

Morton doesn't have bad stuff, just no confidence and poor location.

Don't know the answer to that. I can tell you though that with Morton starting games this season, their record vs. the run line is 2-11.

Stated differently, the -1.5 wager on opponents facing Morton this season is 11-2.

Come on guys. This might not end up a winner, but let's not over think it. Charlie has been the surest thing in baseball this year.

I feel the same way.

I don't think RRL is +2500 here.

Yea go figure, but that was the first time in 9 road starts that he didnt give up at least 5 runs.

jayson311 · 09-16-10, 08:40 AM

If your going with anything other than your gut or a he's due, you can't beat on him. He is like 11-1 or somthing crazy

He's 1-11 with a 1.92 WHIP and a 9.05 ERA. Yeah, he might have been decent last time out (3 ER in 6 IP), but he's still 0-2 with a 2.02WHIP and an 8.10 ERA his last 3. His consistency is truly amazing.

The guy is the worst starting pitcher in baseball. It's almost a shame for his sake that the Pirates keep trotting him out there. Not like he's some kid anymore.

jayson311 · 09-16-10, 09:03 AM

1-11 hahathats what i meant

HoulihansTX · 09-16-10, 09:05 AM

Charlie Morton road starts are like Groundhogs day.

HoulihansTX · 09-16-10, 09:06 AM

The value on the +1.5 is gone.

-115 to -130

+2500?

PDW · 09-16-10, 09:48 AM

Charlie Morton is my friend's uncle. Not very useful from a gambling perspective, but I thought I would share.

Power Play · 09-16-10, 12:09 PM

If the RRL is +2500 it's probably an Oddsmaker error.

yisman · 09-16-10, 01:07 PM

it's not even close to +2500

anyway, it truly is amazing that the Pirates keep starting him.

Aren't there any prospects they want to give a shot to?

goldengreek · 09-16-10, 01:12 PM

Guess I have to cancell my mets bet now

goldengreek · 09-16-10, 01:18 PM

Really like the under in this game

It was a joke.

Dukebluejms · 09-16-10, 01:35 PM

He is the worst pitcher in the NL, hands down. I will fade him until the Pirates wisen up and cut him.

Pauulzcappin · 09-16-10, 01:44 PM

He has a mid 90's fastball, changeup, good curveball. guy has the pitches but sometimes can't find the strikezone or pitches too much down the middle.

Idk why he can't pitch well.

You think too much.

Wulfman14 · 09-16-10, 03:29 PM

the question is whether the good pelfrey or the bad pelfrey will show up , that is why the over under is not a good bet here

Superman_Punch · 09-16-10, 04:20 PM

New York Mets
M PELFREY -R -200 Action

Power Play · 09-16-10, 05:27 PM

unless there's a +2500 line somewhere Pittsburgh is too erratic on the road to take a shot with this moderate underdog price.
