Let me clarify one thing, too: if I had to choose a side in this game, it would be NYY. With that being said, +115 is a horrific price given Baltimore's advantages (home field, unquestionably better lineup and bullpen, etc.) If the Yankees were any other team than the Yankees, they'd be +125 here minimum.

Yankees look to be the play if you like to try and read lines but I see no value in taking them here.

[Sam Odom]

So... in essence you agree with LT's pick

But not willing to bet on NYY because of 8c - LT got +117

LT keeps calling McCarthy better than Gausman. He's not.

I posted why McCarthy is better in Post 19. Then again, based on your posts you may not understand what I wrote.

You don't need to be a douche about it.

I'm not being confrontational. I don't think McCarthy is as good as Gausman. If you want to throw numbers out to support your opinion, then by all means. Just don't be a dickhead to me for no reason.

[LT Profits]

That's because his computer says he is.

LT admittedly never watches games. That's why he struggles in nearly every sport these days. You can't just Billy Beane bets anymore and expect to win "Long Term."

I said I rarely watch BASEBALL. I watch other sports all the time. And I am off to a good start in both NFL and CFB (frantically searching for wood to know on - will my head do?)

I think McCarthy's better than Gausman as well.

However, that's a pretty small piece to the puzzle here.

The lineup behind McCarthy today is not going to justify the +117 price IMHO.

Brandon Mccarthy. Yes you right. He is the next 10 years cy young winner.

Sorry didn't mean to offend you.

My point is I supported my belief with numbers and those saying Gausman is better are just stating opinions with nothing to back it up.

Fair enough LT.

I give more priority to season-to-date than recency unless there is a legitimate reason for change in form.

Baltimore on verge of winning division vs the hated rivals..Yankees fielding a AAA lineup if their guys are hurt like the report says.
Baltimore 4-1 vs NYY at home and 8-3 on the season..Everything pretty much says Baltimore owns this team and will take this opportunity to dust them in this series and clinch the AL East in front of their home fans.

How are McCarthy and a bunch of AAA guys going to beat the O's when the other starters and the full line up can't beat the O's? Not to mention the Yankees needed to reach back and come from behind in a tough win last night. What am I missing, either take the safe pick on Baltimore or make an unnecessary risk on NYY despite the fact there are 15 other games on tonight to bet on.

[labones00]

Yankees put up 5 runs in the last two innings last night, won a game they had no business winning. Cobb take a no-no into the 8th and then the pen let's up 5 runs, sucks he didn't even get the win. O's had an off day, been playing well and Yanks will be a bit worn down. McCarthy has been bad on the road his last two outings and with how hot the O's bats have been hard to see the Yanks shutting down the O's this afternoon

The truth is,do the opposite of what most of these SB pro's tell us,especially LT,he loses way more than wins,couple of seasons ago when I was a newbie and didn't know what I do now,I followed him and some of the others,disaster to your bankroll is what happens,look at there record each year,no put downs,just the truth......pick your own plays,don't listen to these so called pro's,there all the same,especially that pick nation,rave and rave how they make everyone money,the past 2 years I tried it,bought 10 different plays from them just trying to help myself as I learned,8 of them lost,plus the money to buy the pick,bet your own plays everyone.......

LT suffers from over-picking but isn't he only down a few units now? He was down over 20 in the season so he's trending nicely, maybe make some money before all is said and done. It's one thing to pick a side and give some trends or supporting stats, it's another to say fade the soon to be AL East champion Orioles because Mccarthy is the better starter and magically him and a AAA line up will beat down the O's at home.

[Pauulzcappin]

this line looks to good to be true on the orioles

-121 is a joke.

[Sam Odom]

beware of the NY mob

[RavensFan2k3]

Orioles yankees played last night and the orioles had it off o's rl

What?

Baltimore by a run.

Chris Davis suspended 25 games for Orioles.

[pattymayo]

Be sure to check lineups first

Balty will probably rest a bunch of guys in first game

Idk about resting. They wanna lock everything up at home. Definitely going to watch that though

Doubt they rest anyone with Davis already out, they can start resting after clinching.

[aznjeff07]

balt line dropped from -130 to -120. Yes, I know. My lines are all unfairly juiced to another degree. I can always expect a -10 screwing either way

Chris Davis suspended 25 GM for amphetamine use. O's have 17 GM left, so he'd miss 1st 8 GM of playoffs, if advance


that is why it dropped
