Keep thinking that. Rays were a game away from being the second team ever to blow a 3-0 series lead. Altuve throwing errors only reason they are in the ws

Also i think the braves had a better pen than the rays

that sentence alone

arie1985 · 10-19-20, 01:43 AM

The Rays cannot be underestimated, I would never bet against the Rays ... in fact I'm not planning on betting on these series before I see how things develop.

If anything the Over/Under bets might have better value now than guessing which side is going to win.

moses millsap · 10-19-20, 02:31 AM

Agree; one of the more clear series bets

to shut down this dodgers offense. Imo fried is better than snell, and ian anderson got better stuff than glasnow. The thing with glasnow he is so wild and thinks he can just blow 100 mph straight fastball down the pipe. Also i think the braves had a better pen than the rays. With the way the dodgers play defense and score runs with 2 outs without needing to hit homers to score that is part of the reason i like them over a rays team that strikes out a ton and only scores on homers. Astros outplayed them and altuve cost them two games with throwing errors. Against a gold defensive team like the dodgers that won’t happen. I like for jansen and kershaw both to have great series. They deserve a ring and so does dave roberts. Enough with the dodgers hate. Its their time and they earned it after all the heart breaks over the years. Dodgers in 6 but wouldnt shock me to see dodgers in 5

Tampa was up 3-0 and they started resting players letting Houston back into the series. It’s absurd to argue Braves bullpen is better than Tampa bays.

LongBall52 · 10-19-20, 07:26 AM

I'm not sure which team has the better bullpen. Would like to see the ERA's of both both pens only (not the starters). Simple eye test of batters easily favors the Dodgers.

Bostongambler · 10-19-20, 07:28 AM

I’ve been on the Blue from the git go!

pologq · 10-19-20, 07:36 AM

dodgers all the way. just too good. that line up gets hits, not just homeruns, and works counts. i wish my yankees would learn this.

unless the rays pitch absolute shut out baseball, i don't see their hitting keeping up. dodgers can win 5-2 easily each game.

Still studying this matchup

Rays tough team to get rid of

navyblue81 · 10-19-20, 08:19 AM

I chuckled at “This Rays pitching won’t be able to shut down this Dodgers offense.” Lol They just shut down the Yankees and Astros offenses who are arguably just as potent. Come on.

The question I have is whether the Rays can muster up enough offense. These are going to be low scoring games and I just don’t know if they have the firepower to score 4-5 runs a game. I think this definitely goes 6 or 7 games. I would lean Tampa bc of their pitching, but it’s an ever so slight lean.

Gonna be a great WS regardless.

Started resting players? Lmao

KnuckleHeadz · 10-19-20, 09:40 AM

Dodgers got 13 games under there belt within the last two months at Globe Life Field. With 10 of those in the last 2 weeks. They know the park and they’ve been with there family this entire postseason in the same place. They all took the field yesterday as if they’d already won the championship....
It’s a wrap Boyz and girls the Doyers finally get it done and join the Lakers for one Big Mask wearing Parade

How the heck does where they play make a difference? Lol It’s about whose the better team. Rays got the pitching to shut down L.A. Whether the Rays have enough hitting, though, is my biggest question mark going into the series. But don’t expect the Dodgers to score a ton of runs on Tampa. If the Yankees and Astros couldn’t do it, the Dodgers certainly Aren’t, either.

The Rays rested multiple players in game 4, which is what let Houston back in the series, it should have been a sweep dumb shit.

thomorino · 10-19-20, 09:58 AM

Rays have the better pitching, Dodgers have the better hitting.

So you are betting with your heart and not your wallet?
That's a recipe for disaster.

Cause a few bounces of any ball has never changed the outcome of a game/series has it? It’ll be a factor in the game just like many other things will... GL on those wagers

Yeah, and one of those factors is pitching, something the Rays have a huge advantage with.

Pitching usually wins, and the Rays have it.
Correct.

jjgold · 10-19-20, 11:28 AM

Rays probably the smart side

RM Logic · 10-19-20, 12:10 PM

Rays have to have guys start hitting other than Arozarena and Margot to have a chance in this series. Lowe, Meadows, Adames, Kiermaier have stunk so far.
But the pressure is all on the Dodgers so the Rays can play relaxed.
And of course the national media wont give the Rays the time of day. This scumbag Jim Rome is climaxing himself talking 20 minutes about the Dodgers.

Jim Rome couldn't hold a candle to Colin Cowherd.
Cowherd makes thinkers think, Rome is just a hack.

slewfan · 10-19-20, 05:54 PM

Lets hope we get some consistent home plate (balls and strikes) calls from the humans calling them...

Baseball is shit .. I'm betting TB first game. Thats about it....'';GL

Ray's in 5

moses millsap · 10-20-20, 06:04 AM

Rays k too much and rely too much on the hr. Won’t be able to put together a string of hits

no1here · 10-20-20, 10:23 AM

won't need to, home runs will win

LongBall52 · 10-20-20, 04:28 PM

Will likely make one of the lowest best of all time. I will ( bet my heart, this time ONLY) on the Rays.. They spent $27 million vs $96 million. Just a feel good situation. And I don't always follow that theory.

newmarket · 10-20-20, 05:58 PM

Yup.. Starting pitchers K the Rays often.. Kershaw is at 6.5 tonight.. some value but I would pass on that..

Also Glasnow gives up the long ball.. 2 in each post season start he pitched over 5 innings.. I expect HRs from Bellinger as he is 2/2 with 2 Hrs vs Glasnow.. and maybe Mookie

LongBall52 · 10-20-20, 06:44 PM

Forgetting the handicapping it's fun to root for the Dog. The Rays want it as much as the Dodgers, they just get less money....
