How can you not take the Pirates @+187 against Detroit

[easyliving]

big day for dogs tomorrow and this is the first play that caught my eye. Liriano has looked great since coming off the DL and I expect him to pitch solid again here. Verlander hasn't looked great this season and he is definitely hittable. Also the Tigers bullpen is always trouble as long as Verlander doesn't pitch late into the game and the Pirates have one of the best bullpens in the league. At this price this is a must bet and its a 2 unit play for me.

edit:line was +178 not +187

Pitts definitely a live dog cuz Verlander has been struggling and Liriano is on fire.
But I really hate Liriano personally so I can't put anything down on him.
Lost a 2k bet on him 4 or 5 years ago and have been sour ever since.
I like your play though. Good luck brah

Verlander is still unbelievable in Comerica Park. Don't be fooled by his last start....check the box score again and you will see it was a pretty good start. Liriano has terrible numbers against the Tigers AND especially in Detroit. Verlander all day in this one, holiday game at home in front of a sell out. Look for something like an 8 inning start from Verlander. How soon everyone forgets....

Kick back fellas and watch Dog Day Afternoon...Twist up a fatty, knock back a few long necks and relax....Enjoy! peace

Not saying JV won't bounce back, but, check his numbers for the month of may. He's had four subpar starts in a row.

[stevenash]

I never fade JV
Very risky business, a crappy JV is better than 80 percent of the league.
Who ever is backing Pitt, hope it cashes for ya'all. I'll pass.

lol yes but those subpar numbers came against offensive powerhouses, the indians and rangers. Before that his been his solid usual self...look at liriano he face face the cubbies, mets and brewers..

[Deuce]

1-0 Pirates

Good start.

[TwoWays]

Verlander stinking lately. Will he even get through 5 innings without throwing 100+ pitches.

[HarHar00]

1-0 Pirates

Good start.

its not about the starts nowadays as im sure you have seen lol...the last 3 innings is where the games have been won or lost

[whtsox13]

1-0 Pirates

Good start.

When was the last time Verlander DIDN'T give up a 1st inning run??

[TwoWays]

Guy is averaging like 5 er/game the last few

ERA over 7 for May. WHIP 1.7 something. Pirates been playing well seemed to be best big dog on the board, we shall see.

[OMGRandyJackson]

On the under in this one. Hoping verlander goes a good 7-8ip and the tigers bp doesnt F up. Also looking for Liriano to throw decent today too.

BOL

Struck out the side in the second.
Liriano just walked Manu's baby boy

I fully expect Verlander to bounce back here and continue into a strong June month.

Will he even get through 5 innings without throwing 68 pitches.

Had a feeling this 3rd time thru was gonna be rough. Oh well price insisted I play buccos..

Tend to agree, I just can't fade JV, those who took a chance, I can relate, been there myself.
Got no action on this, except I got JV at a nice price in fantasy today, I hope you get a late inning rally (after JV leaves)

[HarHar00]

4-1 tigers..its not over yet but doesnt look good...lesson learned to those backing pirates...no matter how much value ur getting never bet against arguably the second best pitcher in baseball behind kershaw...and i dont know how every one of you fell in love with liriano just because he had 3 descent starts? loll...the guy last two years has been averaging an ERA OF OVER 5!!!

Yea there is still always the tiger pen which was clearly part of why price was crazy..

[TwoWays]

Knowing Leyland, he'll prob let verlander toss 130 pitches. Good thing is Verlander racking up those tosses striking out these pirates

Lmao @"Lesson learned" .. I'd play this every day all day at +185. Liriano is 3-4 lifetime in det. Ill take 3-4 all day +185. Just as funny saying "value doesn't matter", baseball betting all bout value. Faded Kershaw yesterday so I guess going against "2 best pitchers" has still turned a profit this week

[BuddyBear]

LOL this one is over....Pirates won't score again.

You know I meant to say Liriano, right?

[OMGRandyJackson]

Lets just hope no one scores any more runs in this one

no buddy u can fade kershaw because of the dodgers offense..even if kershaw holds the cards to 1 run its definitely not a suprise to see the dodgers not even score one run...but in this case your talking about the tigers...of course value matters..but when u get the second best pitcher and the number one offense in terms of runs scored...u can throw value out the door...regardless i will be enjoying my win

[BuddyBear]

The value was on Verlander NOT on Liriano. Do not kid yourself into believing there was any value on the Pirates in this game. Best pitcher in baseball against a below average pitcher and a mediocre lineup (cf. McCutchen). Give me a break. Was not it a clue that Verlander was -200 in this game for a reason?

AMEN brother..at least somebody understands me lol

[HarHar00]

to be honest i think we got value on it for just being -200 and not mid 200s

[2daBank]

funny how ppl laying -200 feel so smart cause liriano had 1 bad inning..
