    Taking a shot with Tigers at +195

    Cleveland's priced to high, and I think I'm getting good value here at 2:1(almost)

    Both teams offenses are pretty much equal, scoring on the average of about 4 3/4 runs a game apiece.
    Of course Kluber is the better starter, but don't discount Fulmer, he's got that four pitch arsenal and that curve ball is devastating when it's on.

    Kluber is Kluber, you know all about him, had an outstanding post season last season.
    2014 Cy Young Award winner, yadda, yadda, yadda.

    I'm not trying to sell anyone on Fulmer, but he's made 42 career starts now, he has a career (if you can call 1 1/2 years major league experience a career) ERA of 3.12 very solid pitching in the big bats league, a career WH/IP of 1.11
    (rock solid again) strikes out about 8 per 9 innings, like I mentioned has nasty stuff.

    One last item, I'm not going to debate anybody about BvP statistics, I'll say it one more time.
    BvP statistics are an ancillary statistics used to back up your logic for betting a side.
    It's not a go to stat, it's not the be all, end all stat, but it's useful when handicapping a game.

    Having said that, do you think Detroit has had problems with Kluber in the past?

    Detroit Tigers Career statistics vs. Corey Kluber

    Jim Adduci 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .000 .000 .000 .000
    Alex Avila 21 5 2 0 0 4 4 7 .238 .360 .333 .693

    Victor Martinez 41 14 0 0 3 7 3 4 .341 .400 .561 .961
    J.D. Martinez 26 8 1 0 2 4 0 5 .308 .308 .577 .885

    Andrew Romine 16 3 2 0 0 1 1 3 .188 .235 .313 .548
    Justin Upton 13 5 2 0 3 6 4 6 .385 .529 1.231 1.760
    Totals 266 77 13 1 14 37 20 62 .289 .346 .504 .850


    Only one in the lineup tonight that has had problems with Kluber is Kinsler.
    And sorry if you are not a fan of the BvP, but 266 at bats is a huge sample size.

    Not saying it's a lock, not saying it's a slam dunk, what I am saying is Fulmer is
    more than capable of throwing strike for strike with Kluber and the Tiger bats are
    more than capable of out hitting the Indians bats.

    +195 is value here.
    A lot of value.

    Pass, fade or tail, it's a good.

    only thing that scares me off the +200 value is this

    DATE OPPONENT RESULT IP H R ER HR BB SO GB FB TBF Pit Dec. Rel. ERA
    07/04 vs SD L 0-1 8.0 5 1 1 0 1 10 10 8 29 107 L(7-3) -- 2.85
    06/29 vs TEX W 5-1 8.0 3 1 1 1 1 12 8 6 27 111 W(7-2) -- 3.02
    06/24 vs MIN L 2-4 7.0 3 2 0 0 2 13 6 6 27 106 -- -- 3.24
    06/19 @ BAL W 12-0 9.0 3 0 0 0 0 11 14 5 30 108 W(6-2) -- 3.58


    Klubers last 4 starts are vicious

    Then it makes you want to consider the under 8 with 2 pitchers on their game

    but thats a tricky number in baseball , and both teams running pretty much all their starters out there

    So .... got ants in my pants to bet on the Sunday night game but im not sure yet

    Good luck though Nash

    Ask yourself Nash when has a -215 favorite list on Sunday night baseball?
    Priced high for a reason. Sure the tigers can win but check it out there bullpen is absolutely horrendous I can't back them on this alone. Good luck though bro I'm laying it on the tribe -1.5. Your discounting the Detroit bullpen.

    No, I factored in the shoddy Detroit leaky pen, I believe that's the reason why Cleveland is -215 instead of -180.

    My wager is based on Fulmer going deep into the game, if so I think I get to the cashiers window.
    Anytime you wager a dog at +200 it comes with land mines, I'm what you call a spot underdog bettor, I don't drool over every +200 game on the card, I pick my spots, I think this is a good spot.

    If Fulmer gets singled to death early, their lineup is good at that, peck, peck, peck than my spot play becomes a shit play.

    It's all on Fulmer's shoulders... guy loves to compete within himself.

    I can't speak for the rest on the team though.

    Mark my words.... start fading the Tigers after All Star Break. Team is getting old.... and they are showing signs of not caring.

    Very impressed with Ryan Blakney so far this game (home plate umpire)
    He's been spot on every call.

    Yes, he's the same Ryan Blakney that tossed Red Sox manager John Farrell on balk call.

    And the very same Ryan Blakney that once punched out Luis Valbuena on a 2 ball 1 strike pitch that he called strike 3. Valbuena turned to Blakney and said "whoa, that's strike two" Blakney said "yeah I know, that's my strike two call"

    Well got KLUBER out after 5

    i knew Upton would do nothing with bases loaded

    don't care what his average Is with RISP I never see him come thru

    was pissed when lefty Avila walked to bring Upton up

    Put ourselves in good position @ + 200 to sneak a nice doggy win in
