Has anybody here ever seen a more dominant streak than Jake Arrieta's current run?

[Bigdave117]

Cubs have won 19 of Arrieta's last 20 starts. Of those 19 wins, 18 have been by 2+ runs. 14 of 19 wins have been by 3+ runs


When does Vegas start to truly adjust and make his lines -300 RL?

[The Giant]

-300 RL?

Uh, never.

[daneblazer]

Orel

[Bigdave117]

-300 RL?

Uh, never.

so you think it's just going to be retardedly profitable to bet on him all year or does he slow down?


With this offense and bullpen, I honestly see Arrieta having a 26-2 1.90 ERA .92 WHIP season

[The Giant]

Dave, I think you mean ML, not RL, right?

[Bigdave117]

Dave, I think you mean ML, not RL, right?

Don't you have to do 300 RL at this point? I mean he's an automatic win


A completely dominant pitcher backed up by the #2 offense and #2 bullpen in the league. How much longer can Vegas take an absolute beating on his starts?

[pavyracer]

I'd take the +1.5 for +250.

[Bigdave117]

what do u mean?

I'm pretty sure in the history of baseball there has never been a -300 RL.

so u think vegas keeps taking a beating on his starts?

[pavyracer]

what do u mean?

When an RL is offered one line is -1.5 and the other is +1.5. So if hypothetically they offered Cubs -1.5 for -300 they would also offer Reds +1.5 for +250.

you realize the cubs have won 17 of his last 19 games by 2+ runs?


only 2 non covers in that stretch were a no hitter by Cole Hamels and a 3-2 win against a very good Pittsburg team

[pavyracer]

I don't care how many they won. You have to be a complete moron to not bet +1.5 +250 in baseball. It's about value but the books will never offer this bet. Maybe if the US national team plays the Bahamian national team in exhibition.

[Bigdave117]

that's about how competitive most Arrieta starts are

[Bigdave117]

9-0 and Arrieta may throw a no hitter

[jjgold]

not really

Valenzuela back in the day?

[Grits n' Gravy]

Halladay, Lee, Verlander, Clemens, Kershaw, Lincecum, Pedro all come to mind.

anytime you feel like putting on your big boy pants and want to post up real cash on -300 rl bets davey, let me know. will be more than happy to take your allowance money.

-300 RL is not happening, but he could see some -180 RL's and -350 ML.

And no, there has never been a more dominant run.

[Bigdave117]

Did any of those guys have a streak this dominant?


I know Clemens had year where he went 21-1 or something stupid but he had tons of no decisions that year


This is going to be like the 15th time in 20 games that Cubs have won a Jake Arrieta start by 3+ runs. They're just obliterating teams when he starts

[Bigdave117]

-300 RL is not happening, but he could see some -180 RL's and -350 ML.

Isn't that still a bargain if he's allowing 1.5 runs a game while the cubs offense continues to pile on the runs and score 5-6 runs a game on average?

[existential]

fraud. juiced to the gills

[unusialsusp5]

john tudor 1985 st louis- started the season 1-7 ended up 21-8 with 10 shutouts.

[DigBick86]

16-0 lol

not sure if the fact that they score a lot of runs is relevant to his pitching performance. relevant if you lay the 1 1/2 runs gambling on him certainly. but tudor's 20-1 run with 10 shutouts and clemens 20-1 start in 2001 before losing his last 2 to tampa bay when they were a cellar dwelling team stands out more.

Yes. They all did. Arietta is nowhere in their league though.

Orel

Forgot how great he was. Good call. In my opinion him and Pedro had the most dominant seasons of any pitchers in modern era. Was at park when Pedro shut down the juiced up NL all star team. That was insane to watch.

Right now, nobody has ever been in Arrieta's league. What he had done over his last ~ 25 starts is unprecedented in the game. As for career, it's in front of him. We'll see.

[Bigdave117]

LMAO

Arrieta is 26-6 last 2 seasons with a 1.65 ERA and .84 WHIP

[CanuckG]

Yeah Arrieta is in a class of his own on this current streak. He was trash before too. Roided up is a lock.

[d2bets]

Nonsense. Everyone knew he always had ace talent. He turned it around practically on a dime once he left the shitty coaches he had in Baltimore.

2 morons with the daily double dose of stupidity. Brock is back at sbr too. Can the mods please get these 2 and Brock to post a mandatory pick thread. But Jake has been incredible in 15/16. Hope he can piss clean.

[CanuckG]

Who else has gone 20-1 l24 starts with a sub 1.00 ERA though?

[Killer_Demo]

Arrieta sucks. He has no rings.

[CanuckG]

9 starts before tonight. 0.66 ERA, 6 BB and 66 K's. Lot of sixes
