    Best bases bet I've seen in a LONG while

    Tampa Bay Rays
    S Kazmir - L

    Texas Rangers +142
    D Nippert - R

    I'm not going to say I don't understand this price, but I'll most certainly eat it up. This has one sided affair written all over it, look for Kazmir to get knocked out of this one early. I know, that sounds ridiculous, but this is the time things like that will happen.

    Texas delivers here to the appease of their home crowd, 7-2.

    Line seems right to me. Texas has to win this game 43% of the time to make it the correct play.

    I just think we're going to see Nippert raise his level of play here and give a solid performance at home, once TX draws first blood the Rays will get closer to the fetal position as one I really don't like them on the road and two Kazmir alone isn't carrying the load versus these hot bats.

    7-2 it is, we'll see what happens, but we'll accept a 9-2 just for you Panic.

    So Crazy, this is one of the "best baseball bets"....

    Just one question before I go all in,

    Do you know the Rangers record against left-handed pitching this season?

    Thanks....

    i don't, Nippert is a reliever, he is 1-2 with a 7.03 ERA, this is his first start, I see him getting lit up tonight by D'Rays

    I pay attention to various stats, if you wanted you could cherrypick them both ways so really those kinds of things cancel out. I'm looking at the price here and that indeed is the best offering I've personally seen in a while. That doesn't have to apply to everyone and by no means am I suggesting betting the "farm", as I wouldn't recommend that in general.

    If i backed either side it would be tamba bay ml. Rangers can hit but their pitching is dogshit and kazmir is solid.

    Nippert may be one of the worst starting Pitchers you will see all year in baseball, if he goes past 5 innings, it will be a miracle

    Cool with me. Figured with all the replies in this thread, it should make for a nice thread throughout the game.

    Well, what do you know. Nippert survives the first 3 outs without giving up a hit....

    I'll go ahead and answer my own question: Texas is 14-23 against LHP this year.

    These things "don't cancel out." If they did cancel out, the game would be a pick em. TX struggles against LHP mightly and then throw is Kazmir's strong numbers against Texas, it's hard to argue that these things cancel out.

    If you think/thought that this was "one of the best baseball bets in a long while" you should give me a call and I will book your bets from now on.

    Anyone can cherrypick different stats, that's what I was getting at.

    Interesting statement to make now. If you'd like to pound your chest should the Rays hold on to win, then that's entirely your right. I don't look to be proven right really, I just look for value, and that's what I found in this game.

    Best of luck to you.
