I guess weaver at that price. Let's see if playing on short rest affects him.

broadway6 · 08-28-11, 09:39 AM

better question is why is the total 8.5 when just last week weaver pitched against Texas and won 3-2

firehoyt · 08-28-11, 09:40 AM

Weaver.

Ranger Ballpark vs Angels Stadium

Think Petco Park vs Coors field....

I think that's why you see both the line and the total where it is.

I projected Weaver to be -115 and the O/U at 8.

You just have no clue how to price anything then if thats what you had minus the wind tunnel

Because I had the O/U at 8 instead of 8.5? It's not like I said I thought it should be 7.

How many times has a total been 8.5 for a Weaver start ever (especially facing a guy like Colby Lewis)?

No because you had the game at angels -115. I have no idea what the total should be without the wind tunnel but 8 sounds about right. I could be under or overestimating estimating the effects, it's only 6 mph but you saw what 5 mph did with the homeruns last night. But I think I can remember 1 game this year in texas with a total under 8 and i'm sure it was CJ vs another ace.

how are you coming to angels -115?

thebestthereis · 08-28-11, 12:39 PM

Weaver has a rubber arm, 3 days rest isn't going to matter with that freak

lunchbawks · 08-28-11, 12:43 PM

Halos and tigers and rays let's go

Twerp · 08-28-11, 01:19 PM

This is simple, why on earth would vegas set Weaver at + money. This line makes no sense, so its either texas or no bet.

lunchbawks · 08-28-11, 01:41 PM

weaver on short rest. . texas is the better team

of course the line makes sense, texas' offense is miles and miles better

BigDeem5 · 08-28-11, 02:09 PM

Weaver's sick take the + money and sit back and watch.

Sawyer · 08-28-11, 02:12 PM

Halos

kbryant24 · 08-28-11, 02:17 PM

Texas all the way! The Blue Jays scored 7 runs the other day against Weaver, I don't see how in the world the Rangers won't score tonight at home against Weaver. Keep in mind, the Angels are the most overrated team in MLB.

DDT · 08-28-11, 03:11 PM

I really like U9 in this game

BigDofBA · 08-28-11, 03:15 PM

I've taken Texas against Weaver twice this season and lost both times.

Maybe the third time is a charm....

bostonboss · 08-28-11, 03:36 PM

weaver is a head case....dont trust him on national tv on 3 days rest in a big game.

Coming Back! · 08-28-11, 04:02 PM

Here's something to chew on. Weaver imploded againt Toronto on extra days rest. After the game he admitted that it hurt him. Could less rest mess him up? He could be a creature of habit. However, Lewis is far more likely to blow up, regardless.

lunchbawks · 08-28-11, 04:26 PM

betting aggainst weaver is a proven way to lose your money

same thing with doc

lolguy999 · 08-28-11, 04:31 PM

Texas... plain and simple

7secondsOrLess · 08-28-11, 04:32 PM

shawshank redemption was a really good movie

illfuuptn · 08-28-11, 04:52 PM

I have the Angels. I hate betting on teams that are hot and pitchers that are overrated. But I think Colby Lewis is actually worse than his already bad numbers suggest. And I think the books give too much linear credit to bad pitchers. IOW if an offense is 3.9 rpg and a pitching line for a game is 5.4 I think the number is actually like 5 as opposed to the mean of the two numbers.

starfire · 08-28-11, 05:06 PM

Fuuuuuuuuuuck!
All the Squares on Halos...

Good point, but the Rangers are one of those public favorite teams (Yankees, Red Sox, Rangers, Phillies) that Vegas loves to bank on.

The question is not "why would Vegas set Weaver at + money," but rather "why would vegas set Texas as a measly -115 at home against a team they generally own."

86% of the public on Texas so I think Vegas has done their job.

If I'm wrong I'll be back with an apology after the game.

Weaver and the Halos for the win.
