Rays Going Bullpen Day Monday With Season On The Line

I think the Red Sox have been undervalued in the playoffs and I've been betting them, but I'm staying away from this one. Rodriguez has been shaky and he's a lefty going against a right handed dominant lineup. The Rays bullpen is deep and most of the pitchers they used yesterday threw under 20 pitches. IMO the Red Sox bullpen is more thin than TB's coming into tonight, even with McHugh going as an opener.

Also, the total is high so I don't think it's worth fading the pitchers and going over, and with the game in Fenway and imo the Sox being undervalued, I'd want much better odds to take Tampa.

GL to everyone putting action on the game.

This a great strategy. Redsox can't be preparing for a certain pitcher as they wouldn't know who pitches each inning. Brilliant!

they've been doing this for a few years and before anyone else.

You insinuating they don't know what they're doing?

If I was a manager I would be doing this all the time.

Lets say a team has 3 Aces starting pitchers.

Instead of starting one on game 1, one on game 2 and one on game 3..

Have each pitch 2 innings on every game. So instead of 6 inning in one game...they give you 2 innings in every game.

No one tries to improvise in baseball.
