little league has been good to me all during the tournament
5 dimes has good lines on this. i haven't been posting much on it because
i see nobody else is which leads me to believe very few are betting on
these games on sbr. i was backing rhode island and they covered for me
every game. other games i won on ml's. here's the story. this jackie robinson west team from inner city chicago is a urban effort to get ghetto kids into a positive
activity like baseball and help renew negro interest in baseball in general.
they beat RI by one run to advance but i turned into a believer with this team
and the line for them to win the US championship today was originally around +375
but is now into well into the +600s - because all most ppl are looking at is in an earlier round the lost to the nevada team which heads up the west 13-2.
that game was called by mercy rule (10 run) with 2 innings left to play.
after seeing them all i am convinced beyond a shadow of doubt that Josh
Houston is the best pitcher on Chicago. Josh did not pitch at all in the loss
to Nevada. Nevada has two huge hitters with .700s averages but if Josh
can pitch around them and Chicago can limit that part of the batting order
they can win this game as big underdogs. They can hit great too.
I think they can win it all if they beat Nevada today, taking on either
South Korea or Japan Sunday. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports...822-story.html
opening lines Nevada -240 Japan 175 (consolation game)
watch out with Nevada they are shaken after this loss and a big player is injured but playing
now they shouldn't have a problem with Japan but honestly they are emotional wrecks right now
and I don't know how good Japan is so probably wont play it
JRW is +230 vs South Korea here (-310)
I am taking them but unsure how deep
have to do more research on SK
will be backing JRW Chicago no matter what.
k so if you look at SK's road the last win was big over Japan 12-3
however in a previous match with Japan they won only by 4-2.
In the international championship game 12-3 there was one inning
where SK pounded Japen for 7 runs. So without that fluke inning
you would have had a more even-handed score. This means SK
perhaps is not that incredible.. although the best outside the US.
Japan beat Mexico 12-1 so they can hit. If Nevada isn't mentally there
especially pitching wise which i saw today they were not - Japan could upset
them.
I think the early line of 230 for JRW won't last.. it really should go down closer
to even...
