This seems like an awfully bad bet at this price but I know there are some out there that will still bet the red stockings and lay the big juice.

It actually came down a bit, I have them at -230. I will be at the game and I have disposable income so more just having fun than anything else.
Hobby bet, if you will.Comment -
Sale looks like he turned the corner in his last game even though it ended bad. His fastball velocity finally returned which had been his problem in the 1st 3 games. He had lost 8mph on the fastball and suddenly became ordinary. Last game out it looked much closer to being back and he struck out 6 Yankees in the loss.Comment -
I actually have Boston 75% (-300), although I am not betting the game because I never lay more than -150. Now may actually be the best time to bet ON Sale for those that do not mind laying juice, he only has one direction to go and his velocity is fine, so does not appear to be anything physical.Comment -
-1.5 is juiced....Comment -
Sale has a dead arm
be carefulComment -
Take the game OVER 7.5 runs.. That's what I'm doing.. https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/detroit...sox-390422102/
Boston back at home now should put up a bunch of runs on Boyd. If Sale continues his horrid ways this game goes over easy..

Same Sale vs. Boyd matchup in Game 1 Tuesday afternoonComment -
Lost some movement on his fast ballComment -
Tight game hereComment -
Sale pitched OK. 5 inning , 10 Ks, 2 ER.
BUT 97 pitches, so to me not a great start.
Bullpen lays a big fat turd.
Boyd only gave up 3 hits through 7.Comment -
Balls seemed to carryComment -
nice call OP
....... although it wasn't really Sale suckiness that got the win

science:
Humidity is a measure of the percentage of water vapor in the air. An increase in humidity has a surprising effect on air density: As humidity increases, air density decreases. In damp air, the large, heavy oxygen and nitrogen molecules are replaced by lighter water molecules, resulting in less density -- in essence, lighter air. Physicist Paul Doherty explains it this way: "We think of humidity as something that's added to the air on a hot, muggy day. So you might think that a ball would go farther on a dry day than on a humid day. But for every water molecule that we add to the air, we displace a heavier nitrogen or oxygen molecule. Since the addition of humidity actually makes the air less dense, a ball will go farther on a humid day than it will on a dry day." The changes in air density related to humidity are not large: Compared to dry air at the same temperature and pressure, there's only about a 1 percent reduction in density for a humidity of 80 percent.
The chart below shows a sample of balls hit at different speeds and angles under different conditions of temperature, humidity, and altitude. Notice that even a 5 percent difference in drag can make the difference between a fly ball and a home run.Comment -
Yeah, I just thought it was nuts to lay that kind of vig on a pitcher and team that has struggled a lot early in the season.
FWIW I bet Detroit yesterday but wager was cancelled and I forgot to re bet today. So I got a big fat ZERO for my effort.Comment -
