If you take the Tigers tonight

[OckertCR]

You are a sucker.

[jjgold]

Why??

[OckertCR]

Why??

Coming home off a long road trip out west where they lost 5 of 7 (4 straight) and haven't been able to manufacture runs.

Oak actually played well in the series against the yanks and should give Simon some trouble since he hasn't pitched in a little while.

Tigers, Red Sox, and Royals sucker bets

[jjgold]

I took them on a chase bet...meaning chasing a team losing

I have been hitting many of them..lets see what happens

I have watched nearly all the Oakland games and I can tell you apart from Sonny Gray and Chavez starting right now this team is trash.

[KiDBaZkiT]

Dont the A's never win up there?

Shitty teams aren't incapable of playing well

Sharp.

Even when they do play well someone in their bullpen is potentially bound to fck it all up. When it comes to betting on Oak it's F5 or pass for me.

Tigers, Red Sox, and Royals sucker bets

So are you betting the opposite on all three?

KC has the best chance to lose out of the three but I bet those go 2-1 at worst sucker bet or not.

Sometimes "sucker" bets win. You can't just fade "sucker" plays and be successful.

No, but fading teams that are in the midst of skids and riding those who are playing well is very profitable.

It sounds very basic and it really is, but people often just chase some of these teams who are clearly in droughts hoping that they all of sudden bust out of it and end up in the whole very quickly.

Sucker wasn't the best term to use, but anyone who lays close to -200 on the Red Sox who have lost 7 of 8 is a sucker.

And no, I am not on all three. As of now I am on the A's and the Twins

[jjgold]

BIG OX do not fade me BRO

[OckertCR]

BIG OX do not fade me BRO

jj I am fading and I love it.

Only thing that scares me is that Ausmus changed up the order of the lineup a bit and it looks a little better.

line says oakland imo

Oakland will be riding a wave of confidence tonight vs Detroit.

[Blackballer]

Simon's father passed away over the weekend and this game will be his first game since. He was slated to start wed in OAK. Maybe his mind is elsewhere and he is not 100% theree focus-wise.

Oakland will be riding a wave of confidence tonight vs Detroit.

Wave of confidence...3rd worst team in the majors who's best hitter is Stephen Vogt and lost their 2 best stix in the offseason, I'm sure their brimming with confidence.

Oakland are money ball team they never had the baseball stars like the other teams, cause you dont know the players on there team sheet it dont make them crap.

[Ra77er]

Just to side with Kerr's junk, Oakland is 17,20,21 B/P/F in this situation....translation....they are a below average baseball team until otherwise stated.

the one concerning factor is the above average hitting vs RHP's with Oakland

[BigDofBA]

line says oakland imo

How is that?

What should the line be?

[SteveKerrsJunk]

What makes them crap is almost being the worst team in baseball...

[SteveKerrsJunk]

A's got Sonny Gray though, they are going major places in a 1 game series, so at least you guys have that going for ya.

[Blackballer]

You probably just googled Oakland, went to ESPN and checked their standings/overall record right??

[SteveKerrsJunk]

Yeah, I'M THE IDIOT for betting a guy that's 3-0 with .94 era at home this year...

[jjgold]

Detroit due for a breakout day

It happens tonight

[stevenash]

I just walked in 1/2 hour ago, just saw this thread, now Simon I believe is on a pitch/inning limit, so if you bet Oakland that is a good thing, because the Tigers have a leaky pen, however, Simon is torture on right handed batters, and let's face it Oakland's right handed sticks scare absolutely nobody. Oakland has no hits in the fourth I see, and this does not surprise me.

I would not call a Tiger wager a sucker bet because if this game is scoreless in the seventh, or even 1-1, Tiger 'pen will find a way to blow it.

Their pen is really good. Oaklands on the other hand..................

[paco]

Bang! Simon with the no no also

[OckertCR]

Graveman gets it to two outs with two guys on and then pitches around Collins as if he is Barry Bonds and all of a sudden it is 3-0 Tigers.

[Bcatswin]

Tigers easy here, and yes i just seen the score but would not go against Simon at home coming off rest. EZ bet

[stevenash]

Their pen is really good.

They are improved, I'll give you that.

I Hit alot of them.. good system...I call it 4L system....

[CMNoney]

Brad Ausmus as clueless as they come.
