Is playing the Cards -1 too risky?

Great input. Thx!

i was scared to lose my LAD bet yesterday that some people promised me. You'd be pretty safe with a straight cardinals money line but dont take my opinion.. I just think they've been solid all around and its rare for them to miss a good game

thanks for the thoughts

91% of the cards wins this year have been by more than 1 run

I want to play the Cards, but it has a perculiar odor about it...no play for me.

I think i'm leaning on passing this up as well. Just don't feel good about it anymore

...and 77% of the Padres losses are by more than one run

I was loving this play early, but the more I think about it the more I am second guessing myself. The Cards seem to be slumping as of late and as bad as the Padres are they have pulled some wins out of their ass lately. We all know any team can win on any night; so i'd like to hear your thoughts...Is Cards -1 (-133) too much juice to pay on a floundering team or am I just over thinking this?

I played the Cards -1.5 @ +125 and I'm not the least bit concerned. It is nothing more than my opinion, but they'll either cover the -1.5, or they'll probably lose the game outright... and I'd rather be playing + odds as opposed to paying the juice.

I just parlayed the Cards with the Thunder and Celts ml.

Took Padres.

"First game, looooong road trip" FADE on the Cards.

padres also flying out from socal after playing extra innings so that angle is off.

cards +125 RL lets get it !

Cards took a long AND bad road trip, losing 4 straight. Tired...? Yes. Pissed off? Definitely.

Padres had a long game last night. And they won their last two. Tired...? Yes. Content and perhaps ready for a let-down? Maybe. Lots of confidence after b2b wins? Yes. Dismal against LH pitchers? Yes.

Still a game-time decision for me but it's either Cards -1 or pass.

Cards bullpen blows it in the 8th.
