I like it, but I am siding with the ML in this one. Jordan is the real deal

Since most of the value in this play involves the starting pitchers isn't taking Washington first half the better play?

Nats have a much better bullpen also though

Astros have better bullpen than Nationals

Washington is a -150 favorite to win the first half of the game and a -130 favorite to win the second half of the game. The market agrees with what I said (more or less):

most of the value in this play involves the starting pitchers

[rm18]

The 2nd half has less innings so if the pitching was equal to the first half the line would still be lower. But the market is not always right especially something like 2nd half bases lines which 99% of books do not have.

I don't understand that, will you explain it and give an example please.

[rm18]

I don't understand that, will you explain it and give an example please.

there are 5 innings in the 1st half and 4 in the 2nd half. I guess this is more complicated because possible that the Astros only bat 3 times if they lead from the 5th on.

But whatever the sport the more innings or minutes you play if you have the better team the better chance you have to win basically is what I meant.

I understand that but I don't think that logic holds in baseball because if a team is favored by a certain number for a full game they're almost always favored by nearly the same number (often a slightly bigger number) for the first half. That's how the market prices it but again you may not agree with the market.

5--2 nats.

BoSox mL

With Kyle Weiland?

The guy is a triple a pitcher going against an Oriole team that can rake.

He had a little success at Pawtucket, but this ain't the bush leagues.

Better off with the over, repeat of last nights fireworks.

Strasberg was -160 one game before he got hurt, that's about it though.

[Delbert14]

i had nats last night -1.5, bats were very slow til the top of ninth,was lucky to cash!!! i like it again tonight also. goodluck guys

[t-wizzle]

Looks like you're going to beat the closing number. Good luck bro.

[borednaz]

Happ alone makes the bet solid, its amazing the guy is not throwing peanuts instead of balls. But.remember zimmerman gets hit against the astros. Im riding the over and laying chalk on Wash Ml.


Nice trend btw Over with houston @home is something like 10 out of 14. Also decent trend for over versus washington while at home..
