Forget about the losing streak, I'll take King Felix at +135 or better (I got +137) vs. Phil Hughes every time.

When they have a top 5 pitcher on the moundComment -

If they've lost 16 in a row, I'm guessing King Felix pitched in at least a few of those games...
Its still the M's and it's still the Yankees at home and the M's have still lost 16 in a row...Comment -
like that play today.Comment -
I like King Felix (and he could win) but no point in taking the Mariners with a 16 game losing streak and against the Yankees. Sooner or later they'll win and you could possibly get double or probably more of your investment. I just assume not to pick the game.Comment -
probably lose 1-0. they're pitiful lately.
but that is correct answer- with the king on the mound.Comment -
I wouldn't play it for anything less than +150 but good luck to LT, I'm cheering for the M's!Comment -
I agree with LT profits.....more of a fade Hughes play for me though......he's terrible. Small wager hereComment -
good point but even at +135 might not be enough. Might take a shot on the alternate -1.5 +200Comment -
Have a back up Martingale plan. A King does not lead a team with 16 losses in a row.Comment -
so many people (unfortunately myself included) have during this streak at some point said its a good idea to bet on this sh*t-stain of a team. this thread is no different. be careful. hernandez has pitched probably 4 times during this losing streak.Comment -
I lost with King Felix last time . not again !!!!Comment -
How quickly 16 will go to 17 and then to 20.
Can't back this bunch of nobs.
Seattle has only scored over 4 runs 4x on this streak, I'd fancy the Yankees to get 4 runs off anyone at home.Comment -
This is a beautiful spot to bet Seattle.
Hughes just isn't good. He has not been good as a starter aside from a few good starts to begin last season.
I don't know how long it's going to take people to understand this. I've been saying it since last season.

Hughes may not be that good but that seattle offense is a joke. Take the great YankeesComment -
18-game losing streak
Pending 7/27/11 1:05pm MLB Baseball 970 New York Yankees -1 -108* vs Seattle Mariners (F Hernandez - R must Start P Hughes - R must Start)Comment -
I suppose Hernandez at this number would rightfully get some people excited, but as for the theory that "they have to win eventually"--people have been saying that since about game 8 of the losing streak. With the Yankees playing in that field with Little League dimensions, the Mariners (regardless of starting pitcher) don't entice me. A loss is a loss, whether it be at +100, -110, or +2000.Comment -
The "due" theory is rubbish. You don't pick a team because they've lost a certain amount in a row.
You do take a team as a nice underdog when they're going with a vastly superior starting pitcher, though.[quote=jjgold;5683305]I win again like usual

I never bet a team on a losing streak, I keep betting against them until they finally win. Have made some good money doing this.Comment -
got it at 140 last night....war king felixComment -
I took 135, getting a good price because of the losing streakComment -
wanted to play yankees TT Under 4.5 but it is too juicyComment -
Felix has looked pitiful the last two times out. He's given up 10 runs and 20 hits in his last 14 IP. He's also thrown at least 115 pitches in seven of his last eight starts. Combined with the current state of the M's, and I don't see a ton of value here. Frankly, Seattle should be +150 in this spot.Comment -
Felix pitched in the last game they wonOriginally posted by Glitch
He has lost twice during this streak. But I think its safe to say that no other pitcher, sans a no-hit performance, would find success either.Comment -
I took the under.Comment -
Comment -
I got this at -110Originally posted by rfr3shComment -
Never good value IMO...... but took under. So hope M's win 3-0 for youComment -
Guys, the "due" theory is rubbish, I handicap each game on its own merit and completely ignore any winning or losing streak each team is on.
And for those saying that Hernandez started four games during the streak, the whole point is that ha has never been this good a price vs. a struggling pitcher It's a simple case of buying low, as Felix may never be this price again for the rest of the season.Comment -
yankees and the over
people betting the due factor go broke pretty fast. Always bet WITH a streak winning or losing and youll be much better off.Comment -
the kings pitch count is gone be high earlyLETS GET ITComment -
Felix is almost always this price when he pitches at Yankee Stadium, and I don't think he's ever had a team that's lost 18 in a row behind him before.Originally posted by LT Profits
He's 8-9 with a 3.47 ERA, LT -- not exactly defending Cy Young numbers.Comment -
