Although we had no business winning that one, the fact that it went over in the 9th inning makes it that much worse. Like the gambling gods are taunting me

Good luck for you Utah St. backers...looking good early

sick beat, wish i didn't watch, kind of drives you crazy when you lose on a little dribbler that doesn't get fielded. i should have not bet an under in this park anyway.

The conditions in the park were conducive to the under...you had a shadows and a cross wind which eliminated the wind tunnel effect.

Just a tough one bud...we'll all bounce back. Only the first game of the postseason

Does drive ya crazy watching it don't it

. It was the right bet though bro, look at how the game played field wise.....a number of deep fly's didn't carry out like they would when the wind tunnel is in effect. 2 pitch's to -.200 Shoppach and the game is like 4-0. But, that's why the game is great too, never know who the hero will be and who will spit the bit. Let's get this 2nd game! Lot of playoffs to go.

BTW Moore

. Price, Shields, Moore, Hellickson, Niemann, Davis.....are you kidding me! Love that baseball is back to Pitching, Defense and being opportunistic offensively!

**Donnie Brasco** · 09-30-11, 07:27 PM

And dont forget harrison wild pitch, the bum! That was the nail in the coffin!

**Love The Action** · 09-30-11, 07:28 PM

What really sucks about this game is that I really wanted to back the Rays in game 2 with Shields. However, now, after the Rangers got shut out, I'm not so sure. I also lean to the under again....yikes.

CC no HRs -155

The Tigers have some guys that can launch the ball (I saw them do it in person many times this year)... seems to easy though. One strength of the Tigers is the protection they offer each other. Miggy followed by VMart is a very potent punch. I did just see this:

That didn't take long

This rain may hurt our Detroit bet much more than Yankees backers, because if it goes to the bullpen, the Yanks have the advantage.

Who does Detroit have penciled in for game 3? In case of a long delay, Porcello or Scherzer would be available vs. Colon or Noesi? Not sure, but in these instances we hold our own imo. Late innings Yanks get the nod regardless....I'm sorry Valverde....I salute your season but I ain't buying that "dominance"

I agree about Valverde...I do not have a high opinion of him.

I would not be encouraged to see Porcello.

So, I can buy our right now for -145 on the Yanks...that price alone tells me the books are not feeling Detroit now with this long rain delay.

Have you heard about the pitchers? I'm not watching the game...hanging out with the little man ...

**Love The Action** · 09-30-11, 09:02 PM

I have a wedding tomorrow, so I will have all of my MLB and NCAAF picks posted tonight or early tomorrow.

Even after that painful under today, I have a lot of under leans for tomorrow....

What is everyone else liking for tomorrow?

**hawley** · 09-30-11, 09:06 PM

Brewers under big.

**Love The Action** · 09-30-11, 09:07 PM

Ouch...now the Yanks are -175.

**PhillyFlyers** · 09-30-11, 09:10 PM

Detroit is going down. Verlander is struggling early. This will be the second loser of the night after Tampa beat the over/under 8.5 by themselves.

Actually am watching the Utah ST game. Have them on the teaser and on impulse grabbed them ml too +230.

I recommend enjoying little mans company, no use stressing this rain delay and its ramifications to our Detroit play. Lots of playoffs to go.

Will be keeping my eyes out for your football plays. Your NCAA card is pretty light atm

Positive post of the night goes to Philly! Who'd of thunk it from such a "silver lining" town.

I kid Philly no harm meant bro.

Joe West is the ump, but has not necessarily been a long-time over guy....still, I hate it that he's behind the plate.

However, did anyone notice that Dale Scott was not behind the plate tonight in Texas? It was Carlson. Perhaps they are not necessarily following the early published assignments.

Yes, I noticed that too. Felt bad about the erroneous early info.

I know bro but I'm just being realistic. Verlander struggling like this so early isn't a good sign. If he loses tonight expect a Yankees sweep.

I doubt either Verlander or CC come back after this rain delay. I have not heard who the replacement pitchers will be...have you?

If you're on the Tigers and don't like them, why not buy out? If you're so sure the Yanks win, you could even double up and make something out of it. Good luck.

Don't feel bad...didn't even matter. I would have rather had Carlson than Scott anyway. The ump wasn't the reason the under lost. CJ Wilson and the 9th inning misplay are what cost us.

With that said, I'm looking at three more unders for tomorrow.

**Redscot** · 09-30-11, 09:25 PM

So what is going on? Tomorrow game gets picked up from where this one left off? My game is bet action........? Guess the bet is on....?

WTF?! Why isn't this game just a rain out?!

Well tonight's game seems to be unofficial. Game 1 looks like it's going to be tomorrow night.

Essentially, CC and Verlander have been taken out of the picture, huge advantage for the Yankees. They are going to sweep Detroit.

Fister/Nova is not a huge advantage. Nor is Garcia/Scherzer. I agree Philly Yanks are favored for a reason, but don't see it so cut and dried.

Wait...so is that the matchup for tomorrow? Fister v. Nova?

I really like Fister in that matchup...tell me it's true.

No dude, I am clueless right now. MLB put this series into a tizzy. What does each team do? Go with game 2 starters, plug in their long men? No clue bro.

Doug Fister was 11-13 for the season compared to Nova who was 16-4 and will be pitching at home.

Scherzer had a 4.43 era for this season against Garcia who had a 3.62 era and will be pitching at home.

HUGE advantage Yankees.

I would take some action on that if I could.

What makes you think Nova is even close to the pitcher Fister is?

Fister has the 12th best SIERA in the league. Nova's SIERA is the 4's...

Is that how you really cap pitchers and baseball?

I don't cap baseball.

Something is wrong if people think Fister and Scherzer pitching on the road is somehow equal to Nova/Garcia pitching at home in Yankee stadium.

And for the record, since I've been following you, you have a losing record.

**Love The Action** · 09-30-11, 09:37 PM

Fister has a pretty poor history against the Yanks, but only over a 70 AB sample size...that is insignificant.

If I can get Fister v. Nova, I may add to my stake at a much better price.
