*-YTD: 270-288-5, 48.4%, -4.14

*-As of end of Regular Season

betting against the cubs...lol

[WileOut]

Cubs have waaaaaay too much pitching and hitting. Especially pitching. They are the best team in baseball by far. How can a team lose a 7 game series with Zambrano as their 3rd starter and a top 5 offensive juggernaut in the entire MLB in every category?

Its the Cubs time, they are due.

[ryanXL977]

yep
im on dodgers to win their series also
and phils to win nl

also debating al odds. may do rays to go to the series

[fiveteamer]

Dodgers take game one. Book it.

Then what? Cubs will be up against it.

[ryanXL977]

im loving dodgers game 1
ill pass on the series bet and do lad +150
if they lose i can always do lad +250 or whatever it is then.

lad+150
lock it up

Some day, you guys will understand the concept of value.

Apparently, no time soon though.

isn't this your job?

[ryanXL977]

why are the cubs -160 vs lowe and lad?

lowe is better than dempster, the dodgers pen is arguably better. ill take my chances on that at +150 anyday. thats big time value

[LT Profits]

And that means what when compared to 17 winning years the last 20 MLB seasons, not to mention the fact that I more than made up for it in other sports.

This was an unusual year in MLB in that big favorites covered at an abnormally high rate, so all things considered, -4 units is not terrible at all. Heck, I could still come out ahead with a strong post-season.

gl, take the cubs pal

i burried you on IU this weekend too

[WileOut]

LT value is in the eye of the beholder. In this situation I don't think LA has a shot. I would think about taking LA if they were around +240 but not at +195. Probably not even +240 though. I'm on the Cubs, that is the value play.

The Dodgers HAVE to win game 1. If not its over. The Cubs don't have to win game's 1 or 2.

[ryanXL977]

dodgers+150 tmrw is the play

[bfour]

I went with the dodgers as well, at first was afraid of the cubs pitching, looked it up and was slightly less afraid.

Carlos Zambrano got smacked last time against LA and has crappy numbers against Martin, Kemp, and Either and only faced Manny in one game. Harden has not really faced any of the Dodgers' batters. Lilly has bad career numbers against a couple of them. However Dempster is apparently baseball's second coming.

On the other side, Billingsley murdered them the cubs, Lowe has solid numbers against them other than Lee, Kuroda was only touched up by Soriano. It's closer than it looks.

[ryanXL977]

i dont trust a single cubs starter at this point
thats why im on lad

[WileOut]

Harden has not really faced any of the Dodgers' batters.

Big advantage to Harden.

I rarely post plays here. How do you know how well I perceive value?

Just by the way you routinely dismissed my Dodgers play as if the series had already been played.

I am not convinced that the Cubs have the superior pitching edge that you claim. Zambrano and Harden are both pitching hurt, with Harden becoming essentially a five-inning pitcher these days. Dempster pulled a career year out of his ass and I am not sold that he will continue it in the post-season, and I am frankly not all that high on Lilly.

You mean the game where Indiana would have covered if not for fumbling at the Michigan State 20 while driving up the field at will vs. a prevent defense with less than 2:00 left?

[SMgambler]

San Francisco Giants to win it ALL......wouldn't that be nice. I guess i will have to wait until next year, maybe even 10 more years....I hate the Dodgers, however, they will prevail.......

[pat venditto]

lol @ the phillies bet no way

i like the dodgers bet

[rjt721]

Like the Phils quite a bit as well. Think they take out the Brew Crew with ease.

Regarding the Dodgers/Cubbies series, the Dodgers have a much better bullpen (Kuo's absence does hurt, though), getting Furcal back may very well give them a deeper lineup, and Billingsley and Lowe are extremely tough on right-handed hitters, with almost of all the Cubs' offensive threats hitting from the right side. One could make a strong argument the Dodgers are the better team as presently constituted. Personally, I'm sitting this one out, as I hold some Dodgers +3300 futures (thank you for acquiring Manny) from early July, but LAD are the only way to play this series.

[ManOfValue]

Angels Destroy Boston then win the AL...

[LT Profits]

Angels/TB ALCS should be fun!

[Bread]

Agree on Angels vs TB ALCS.

[ryanXL977]

isnt it hilarious, all these people just shredded us for our dodgers over cubs pick

cubs have no pitching
its been obvious for a while
