Yankees/A's In-Game

[Deke101]

What is everyone on?

I have:

1.25* A's +104
.5* Under 8.5 -115

Also---I usually lose when I go against the Yankees.

[ryanXL977]

i am still deciding
i will either do oakland or pass
what are your reasons on oak

ps. yanks suck on the road

Because its the late night gem. haha

[nysmoneyman]

Blanton is 0-2 with a 9.39 ERA in three career starts against the Yankees

The right-hander also fell to 1-6 with a 3.84 ERA in 10 outings at the Coliseum and leads the majors in home losses

[ryanXL977]

i find those numbers useless
oakland always gets up to beat the yanks
always
and their pen is so much better than the yanks

go oak

[Deke101]

Although Statfox shoots about 50% i think?

Play Against
Road teams (NY YANKEES)
hot hitting team - batting .300 or better over their last 15 games, playing on Thursday

54-28 over the last 5 seasons.
65.9% (27.4 units)

Day of the Week trends are stupid, but +65% is good. Putting this out there for what its worth.

Yankees are 1-4 in road games with a total of 8 or 8.5.
Oakland is 6-3 in June.
Oakland is 15-7 in home games with a total of 8 or 8.5..

Everything else is roughly .500 for both teams.

Haha I know thats why I said it doesn't matter...Anyways, A's...

[ryanXL977]

im on oakland too
yanks have no pen

[nysmoneyman]

no pen but they got some bats

[ryanXL977]

they sure do
i think its a pick em game with a slight edge to oak who plays great at home
i wont be suprised if nyy wins

[pat venditto]

you have no significant edge on either side. pass and watch the game

[ryanXL977]

oakland is a better team, and at home

theres your edge

go oak

[pat venditto]

i said significant edge. i favor blanton as the better pitcher at the moment but yanks with better offense. bet with a big edge. dont bet just to bet. bet to win

[ryanXL977]

but their offense never wins them anything
so i prefer the better defense, pitching, and bullpen
plus home team

[pat venditto]

gl but like i said i dont like betting either side.

Normally I agree with you a lot. I think you're one of the top baseball cappers here, and a really cool guy, but this is a ridiculous statement right here. The Yankees ONLY win when they're hitting the ball well. How many games have you seen them win the past 10 years where they scored less than 4 runs? Same goes on RL plays. You rarely see them winning 3-1, 3-0, 2-1, etc... They win games that are like 7-4, 9-4, 10-7, etc..

[MJFtheGenius]

go oak

oakland is not the better team

they will not have a winning record at the end of the year

lol

[ChuteBoxe]

lol

What's so funny? The kid is pretty good. He definitely wins way more than he loses. He's one of my picks as top 10 most underrated handicappers on SBR.

i meant they dont win in the playoffs
i dont hate the yanks, i just think they are overvalued alsmot always bc they ae the yanks

[ChuteBoxe]

Oh, in that case, you're 100% right. We haven't won the WS since 2000. Pretty pathetic in the playoffs since. They're extremely overvalued. It sucks being a Yankee fan since birth, and a baseball handicapper. You have to be dead on with them, or you're definitely going to lose money. Going 40-34 on them during the year will be a losing proposition, you have to really know your team.

[ryanXL977]

i like the yanks, or at least dont hate them.
i like the stadium and i like the fans, very fun time when i went there
i just dont think they can win more than a wild card with their pitching and pen
but i may be wrong.

[ChuteBoxe]

This team right now definitely needs to pull off a mid-summer deal, or they will not even get close to the World Series.

[ryanXL977]

rasner is worthless and would guess mussina wont keep this up. who pitches the 7th and 8th.
they need to deal for millwood. he aint awful

[ChuteBoxe]

Oh, definitely, they need an 8th inning guy, and a 6-7th inning guy as well. Cashman better start making some moves.

P.S. Right now I'm actually hoping tonight is one of those rare nights where we don't need a lot of runs to win. lol.

[ryanXL977]

i just want oakland here to fix my awful mets and braves collapses

[ChuteBoxe]

Yup, got home from work and they were up 2-0. Happy I was home from work pretty early, cracked a beer, and kicked my feet up with a smile on my face. That went away quick.

[ryanXL977]

left so many on base
just awful
and wagner had awful luck in the 9th

[ryanXL977]

damn umps
all of a sudden they wont call strikes

[ChuteBoxe]

Happy Birthday Matsui!

[ryanXL977]

damn

[MJFtheGenius]

Godzilla nice job
