    Over 6.5 Runs -135 tonight. Good Bet?

    5 Dimes has tonight's O/U at 6.5 -135 (on over). Score is 2-2 so just 3 more runs needed. Plus if each team can score one more run, it has to go Over (can't end at 3-3). Looks like a +Ev bet to me.

    A Lot of juice for a play that was originally 7-7.5 but I think it cashs. Good Luck!

    It's a NO PLAY for me ...my original play was u7 and I felt comfortable with that play on Monday...wouldn't attempt to predict a total for this game...too many unknown variables HOWEVER if your logic is that it won't go ovr because Tampa doesn't hit the Phil "Bullpen" I want you to consider how a middle reliever or closer wouldn't pitch to form in this senario. This is a must win situation for Tampa....throw everything out the window. Like I said NO PLAY so I take back "it cashes".

    every game of the series is must win. tampa lost 3 of 4 so far so that logic is thrown out the window. fact of the matter is tampa is not producing.

    I think the weather will play big factor with the totals tonight! 5DIMES had it at 7.5 last night and now it's at 6.5! Maybe It's a worth a look.

    Don't confuse juice with payout odds.

    Juice on this bet (given the under @ +115) is "only" 3.81%. Compare that to the 4.55% juice on a market at -110/-110.

    I think 'juice' as in the street slang, hurts most people to understand the fundamentals of vigorish, and thus their disinvolvement in advantage wagering.

    I wouldn't touch it. Could win but they are going to have to score against two of the best pens in baseball, both fully rested. If Lidge and Price go a few innings each they might be tough to score on, hell almost the entire bullpen on both teams has been very effective. I can't imagine many runs being scored tonight, especially by the Rays, Phillies push one across in bottom of 6th, 7th or 8th the game is over.
