    Are you really gonna lay -220 with the Oakland A's tonight?

    Obviously Bannister is a hurting pitcher but you gotta ask yourself how could the A's be -220?

    The wise play is Royals +1.5 -110.

    I normally don't, but I'm taking the RL here. Square as square can be.

    only added them in a parlay with the jays, hopefully the a's come through with a one run win so we are both winners.

    I know I have a special line out, but you might be right on the run line play. I will not be shocked to see a 4-3, 5-4 win by the A's.

    Have them in a parlay with Boston, not looking good.

    -220 is a little steep for a team that doesn't have one starter batting .300 and only one batting higher than .280...but it's baseball.... its square

    A's -5.68 units on the rl and +1.84 units on the ml
    KC --4.74 units on the rl and -1.62 units on the ml.

    I took the royals on the Rl versus a team that hasnt made money at all .

    Ok LB....KC recently just traded away 3 of their best hitters and have another one on the DL...Dejesus.....anikiel, callapsso, and posednik...their all important lead off hitter

    never bet a team that just traded away 3 of their best hitters.....they have won 3 in a row....all vs the Orioles...the chances KC wins 4 in a row????? very bad


    Cahill lost his last home start to the White Sox....which means he wont lose 2 home starts in a row

    Another reason to bet the A's is.....look at all the dogs covering today....what are the chances another dog covers??? not likely....i had 3 plays today...astros ml, braves ml, braves and mets under 6.5, and A's runline


    looks like im bout to go 4-0 baby

    I'm confused as to why everybody is claiming victory on a game that still has 4 more innings?

    He has one good game with the braves and that makes up for the fact that he was a wuss all year with a BS injury that he got while falling over a water cooler in spring training?...trust me, it was all over the news here....here was as sorry as the saints defense!

    haha sorry as the Saints defense??? ok lets not even go there because we did win the superbowl...so i guess our defense couldnt of been that bad....we only had the most interceptions in the league and the most points scored off those ints

    Ankiel is a beast...under rated...i realize he only played about 27 games for the sorry ass Royals so maybe thats why you couldnt see his potentiol....he is a clutch hitter that will help the braves down the stretch

    after the yanks and redsox epic fail, i laid a LOT of money on this... bad money management, because if it loses, i'm back to $20 units i think i'm sweet though...

    yeah...wanted to take a cheap shot at the Super Bowl champs....felt good though...Hope the Royals pull this one out, but probably won't....just get shocked when people who bet on sports all the time call a game a lock when it's only half way over! Seen some crazy things happen. Remember you said Ankiel is a beast....that's a bold statement!
