what a strange, strange line





these 2 teams have basically the same record and while Price is a better pitcher, the difference isn't drastic (about 1.40 in ERA)




I thought this game would be about - 140 for TB. WTF??

[ferndog]

Penny is no good on the road and Price is TB top pitcher. Plus TB has been playing good ball and their winning streak was just snapped.

detroit has won 4 straight themselves and I would argue James Shields is TB's top pitcher



I just don't get how you can have a -200 favorite between 2 teams with identical records

[Muscles]

-210 is a little excessive, but as a Tigers fan I can let you know why I threw a lot on the Rays. First, Penny isn't good anywhere and Price is way better. Second, Leyland is throwing out three backups in our lineup (Maggs, Inge, Raburn). 3rd, the Tigers have won 4 in a row and hate long winning streaks.

david price is one of the best pitchers in the league. hes top 5 active to me.

[wantitall4moi]

books probably dont want any action on it. Or theyre willing to gamble that Det doesnt win. TB looks like a no brainer play but who wants to lay -210? so you lay off or bet Detroit and hope. But losing isnt an option so it is a no play for most guys.

he's not even top 40 in the league in ERA, what are you smoking?

come on Brah

[Rich Boy]

His ERA this season is not representative of his talent level. Just negative variance.

You value short term stats way too much. Just like you think going 30-10 is god-like.

Doesnt mean shit

[Sawyer]

-140?!

There's a serious difference between Price and Penny.

And don't look in ERA. It's a very misleading stat.

[No coincidences]

[BigDofBA]

Line is too high but there is no real value on either side.

[brahmabull117]

come on Brah

How is he a top 5 pitcher anyways??


he's not even the best pitcher on his own team (that's shields)



Verlander
Weaver
Halladay
Lee
CC
Beckett



6 pitchers that are a mile better just off the top of my head

Beckett is a "mile better" than Price? What?

[Pete0]

Forget the price.

What I dont understand is - it says on Donbest Weather that the game is played in a dome.

Now scoreboard shows that the game is currently under rain delay ??

Im not talking about whether he is top 5

I am talking about you referring to ERA

[brahmabull117]

Beckett is a "mile better" than Price? What?

based on this season's numbers, absolutely




have you looked at beckett's numbers?? Especially in a great hitters park like Fenway

[No coincidences]

have you looked at beckett's numbers??

Have you watched them pitch?

The fact that you'd include Beckett on a list and not Kershaw makes me question your sanity anyway.

I realize it's just one of the numbers that you can use to evaluate pitchers but I was only using it as an example

2.40 ERA in the AL in a great Hitters park>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>2.60 ERA in the NL in a great pitcher's park




Kershaw's era on the road: 3.39

era does tend to suffer when you play in the same division as the redsox and yankees. hes nasty brah. that not even top 40

halladay, lincecum, price, hernandez, verlander

price over weaver, CC and beckett??? are u retarded???

[thebestthereis]

Not much interest in this babble, but I am using brah from now on in all my conversations

[wantitall4moi]

still talking about ERA is showing the mentality of people. WHIP is a much more relative stat, too bad more people realize it now.

[Glitch]

[yisman]

David Price is a top flight pitcher, no doubt.

His WHIP this season is even lower than it was last season.
