I'm don't consider my self sharp just average bettor, but weaver and his"run support" will be too much for Boston!

I'm.far from a Sharp... However, I think they would tell you to stay away from this play. Weaver has bad numbers against Boston. He hasn't faced them this year but he's 1-3 lifetime vs. Boston. He's lost 2 in a row. His last two starts were against Bucholz when he faced Boston and he had lost both. Bucholz has been solid lately. You can't really trust either teams bats.
So it's a gut play.. Weaver @ -123 is too goo for me to pass up
.. Also 9 is a high total for two aces of this caliber so a play on the Under is a possibility. BOL whatever you decide.

I'll take Buchholz five career wins against the Angels and 4-0 with 2.39 ERA since 2010. The line tells you what side you should be on.

The line itself is telling you where you must play if you take action on this game.
However, I would hate to sit and pray for hits against Weaver who is trying to regroup. You get the sense as well that Angels' give a shit factor is 10x that of Red Sox.
No play

Yep, really perplexing. I think I'm about 35% on these "look to good to be true". Bucholz been very consistent of late. Question is the blowup by Weaver in last but the -120 ML refutes that logic.

I actually think this game will go over. With it OV 9 @ +105 (5Dimes) I might actually buy .5 point and take the over at 8.5 (-120). I can see this game going between the key numbers of 9-11. Then again I was on the over last night which didn't even get to 9, the Angels will get their runs, the question is- will Boston? Boston has good numbers against Weaver, Weaver has his worst numbers in Boston of any park, and Boston's offense is bound to break out of this slump @ home sometime.
Or I could just wait and hopefully see the line drop to 8.5 as the under is currently at -125. Honestly its the Angels or over me. Haven't decided yet.

Pass
Weaver will probably carve suckahs up tonight.
But before you pull the trigger, why not just wait and see if he can tonight, and bet on him next week when he actually hosts Boston.
Plenty of other shit to bet today.
Personally, I got the Cardinals run line.

I'm going Under and Angels. This is the game to watch today, Gentleman. Ive thought about it a lot and let's,be honest.. This Bosox team is not the same team they were last year or the year before. Kuroda just completly shut them down and I personally think Weavers gonna do the same thing tonight. Straight gut play...

Weaver is obviously still in the running for the Cy Young this year. Do you really want to bet against a Cy Young contender who's lost 2 in a row? Tampa Bay beat him but they could beat anybody right now. By far the hottest team in Baseball.
I could see it going both ways though... Well see what happens soon enough.

Wow this doesnt look promising, I ended up taking Angels TT. But all these batters look off balance so far, good pitching, we'll see as the batters get their rotations with pitchers.

Disagree. Are you watching the game? Lot of good pitches hit for well positioned hits. IMHO Weaver is the one who doesn't look right. Weird game. Lot of strange plays. Once again LV knew something.

Took Bos/La under 4.5 FF. This is looking like it might blow a 4 team parlay 8-1.

Fade the BoSox the rest of the way.
You know you're bad if you're more dysfunctional than Anaheim.
