what about SF +117? Or is SF too poor a home team to back here?

Cain dogged at home is always tempting, and he's been a terrific second half performer during his young career. Forced to choose a side, it would definitely be SF. I don't know why I'm hesitant to play this game, but I am. I want to see more of CC in the NL before getting involved in these games, although I'll probably be against him several times the remainder of the season.
Hopefully anyone that decided to play TB and/or Balty did so long ago. I don't think I'd recommend either at the current numbers -- maybe a small play on the O's at -127 or better.
Good luck.

I think if Sabathia were on the Giants he'd hit clean up...

Thanks, I hesitated on SF but left the "office" before 5:00 local time and just got back so I didn't make a play either way. I ended up playing TB and BAL with you, but the price was high like you said and just made them standard 1 unit plays.
Keep up the good work Rjt!
P.S. I heard from Razz. He's doing fine....

There wasn't a pitching change... Burnett/Shields were the listed pitchers throughout.
If you played the Rays and had your bet canceled, I'd suggest calling your book immediately.

What book is this?
Strange. Hammel hasn't been in TB's rotation in two months. It was never even a possibility that he'd get the start yesterday. I don't know why any book would have him as the starter.

5dimes. I didn't expect this either, but seems kind of shady.

Probably 5dimes knew TB was the right side so they put up the wrong pitcher knowing they could refund the bets.
