Arroyo and the Reds today..

Boner_18 · 10-08-10, 10:32 AM

No fvcking way. Boys amongst men.

Who did cincy beat this season, what good team did they beat consistently?

Austin103 · 10-08-10, 10:43 AM

Thanks for the feedback, your on Philly I assume?

TexansFan · 10-08-10, 10:46 AM

No, Oswalt is dominant against Cincy. He lost a couple to them I believe this year with the Astros but they had no offense. I believe his overall record against them is 23-3.

Oswalt is pitching great, no reason to go against him imo.

Boner_18 · 10-08-10, 10:46 AM

Haha prolly wont bet it.

Glitch · 10-08-10, 10:46 AM

arroyo is serious business and i dont think its out of the question for the reds to give him a couple runs of support today. +170s worth a little shot i think.

Arroyo is 1-5 with an era of 5.54 in eight career starts against Philly. I think Philly goes up 2-0 in this series.

I just don't think the Reds have a chance against Oswalt. Oswalt is really good. They will be lucky to score 2 runs against him.

jbrent95 · 10-08-10, 10:59 AM

I'm on Roy O.

THE PROFIT · 10-08-10, 11:00 AM

+170 is worth a shot. I have family visiting this weekend & they are HUGE Cincy fans so gonna drop some on 'em just to make the game more fun

jbrent95 · 10-08-10, 11:08 AM

I'm on Roy O.

Austin103 · 10-08-10, 11:16 AM

Best of luck to all.

Will make the post in my post-season thread!

jjgold · 10-08-10, 11:17 AM

Philly on RL might be the safe low juice play

TexansFan · 10-08-10, 11:17 AM

Fwiw I just played the U 7.

I agree JJ.

Bronson Arroyo is a mediocre at best pitcher, while Oswalt is an ace in his own right. After Wednesday's dominating performance by Halliday, the Phillies know they can't waste that and lose home field. Cinci was like 20-34 vs. teams with winning records this season, regardless of how good their hitting might be.

I mean, its baseball, where pretty much every game is a coin flip, but you have to believe that Philly will do everything in its power to win this game.

I guess luck is what you count on.

Oswalt vs Arroyo. Just take the better pitcher simply. The Phillies have been unbeatable at home in the playoffs

sportsguy04 · 10-08-10, 11:38 AM

Arroyo has been the reds ace all season. He should of clearly had the nod in game 1

MartinBlank · 10-08-10, 11:45 AM

In July, the Reds got to Oswalt pretty good. They scored 6 runs on him in just 5 innings---including 10 hits.

But. Oswalt seems to be a different pitcher with Philly. He has been dominant.

If the Reds won this game, I wouldn't be shocked. But I just don't see it happening.

Wulfman14 · 10-08-10, 11:54 AM

i would not take the phillies RL in a playoff game, i think reds +1.5 is a better bet

treythewop · 10-08-10, 11:54 AM

arroyo has been lit up by left handed batters all year.....and Philly is stacked with them

thebestthereis · 10-08-10, 12:00 PM

reds +1.5

philswin · 10-08-10, 12:05 PM

Phillies on the run line and the over - phillies could pound Arroyo

sportsguy04 · 10-08-10, 12:12 PM

Phills will see chapman, masset and Cordero today most likely.

capitalist pig · 10-08-10, 12:16 PM

Im taking a shot with the Reds today.

later

scurd8 · 10-08-10, 12:18 PM

This series should be a clean sweep for the phillies. Oswalt I believe is undefeated pitching in philly as well.

sportsguy04 · 10-08-10, 12:29 PM

I could be undefeated pitching in Philly for a month or two.

Agree. I'm thinking Baker didn't want to waste him against Halladay. I'm thinking Baker is banking on winning this game today. But I don't see it happening.

phLLyphan11 · 10-08-10, 12:39 PM

Oswalt lost his Phillies debut against the Nats, but other than that, he has been nothing but stellar. I think Roy O. will be extremely motivated to put on a clinic after he sat in the dugout and watched Halladay throw his no-no. Phillies top three pitchers are so competitive and feed off each other which only makes them better. That's why they've been so good. I could easily see Oswalt go out and throw a 2-3 hitter in 8 innings just to try and match Halladay's feat.

ParlayJunkie · 10-08-10, 01:28 PM

Phillies are going to sweep. Reds couldn't even manage a hit in game 1. Phillies cover RL again. Just too dominate.

orlikowski · 10-08-10, 01:36 PM

I don't see cinci winning today or the series. To good of pitching from phillie
