    Anyone betting the World Baseball Classic final tonight?

    Should be a great game actually.

    Initially I was thinking U.S. at -125 ML, but goddamn, Puerto Rico has some phenomenal players on its roster. And hasn't lost. Not as deep as the U.S., but may not actually need to be if they get enough innings out of Lugo.

    Wondering if anyone else had thoughts or had made plays.

    Maybe under 7.5?

    I just don't have enough data to come up with a number that I can test and be confident in. I try to stay away from oddball events like this and all star games, etc...

    Yeah, this is not a "my model says ____" type event at all... there's nothing to go on except how the specific players are performing lately, and it's a very small sample size.

    I was gonna bet USA but I expected them to be slight dogs. I'm not betting them at -140. I can't cheer for PR so I'll just watch as a fan tonight.

    I can't believe how many total studs are on Puerto Rico... Correa, Lindor, Baez, Beltran?? Cleary the U.S.A. staff is deeper but Lugo could keep PR in the game, and then Diaz is a stud... I'm still leaning Under 7.5. But I may just watch this with no plays.

    I won on Under 8.5 (-120) lastnight and the USA ml, our bullpen is stacked with the addition of Melancan. Been waiting for the total to move to 8 since i noticed most of the money is on the Over 7.5. Would love to play under 8 as both teams have quality pitching and will be on a short leash if their not on tonight.

    The under also looks nice because Lindor and Baez turn so many double plays. Japan had 2 errors last night that led to the 2 runs we scored. Errors were mainly committed due to the rainy weather as Japan is usually very solid fielding the ball but the wet field gave them issues lastnight.

    PR already beat us 6-5.....2 runs scored on a terrible throwing error by 3rd baseman Nolan Arenado after we brought in Andrew Miller to get out of a jam. Otherwise i believe USA would have won 5-4 if we didn't give them those 2 runs. Throw was terrible, hit the lip of the grass giving Hosmer no chance to pick it.

    Good posts, Rbyrne.

    Line is dropping on the U.S. I think the side is too close to call, but I'd still go U.S. Still leaning Under 7.5. Was hoping to get 8. I think Stroman will be on his game for the U.S. tonight. And the pen is so deep even if he gets pulled early.

    If I weren't rooting like heck for the US, I'd be all over PR.

    You must be watching ESPN Deportes. It's on MLB Network, or at least that's where I'm watching it.

    Capy. What is this shyte pal? Thought you were on a break until baseball?

    If you have to make a thread asking for an edge/angle then surely you can find a better spot no?

    That said rooting for you!

    What's up, Tatty-san?

    No, I took exactly one month off and returned for the NCAA tourney! Doing well, up 10 units since my return.

    Looking forward to crushing the MLB season, but enjoying the WBC... small plays on the under and the U.S. here for fun.
