True. They are -315 today and the runline is -139

That’s crazy but will still take it.

[EGrecu]

Do they complete the sweep today or shit in everyone’s mouth?

7-2 today

[mikmik]

Yanks 7-2?

[Brock Landers]

Stanton not in lineup

Line dropped 50 cents

[risKingDigits]

Historically b2b years being swept @ NY is uncommon, plus you have JJ mushing the yanks today.

[Four33]

Detroit stinks Astros will beat them again in ALCS

[pavyracer]

Detroit can't beat the Yankees. Imagine being a pitcher and have to go trough the Yankees lineup twice. What do you throw? They hit everything.

[stevenash]

True. They are -315 today and the runline is -139

I have all the previous games with lines in a database.

Used to be - 300 games you'd rarely see a run line under -170.
(I double checked myself)

Now, you're right, these days you can get -140
Sorry, I stand corrected.

I'm thinking the extra inning 'ghost runner' rule has something to do with that.

To the OP, sorry if I can across harsh, I don't know everything about everything.
That's why I always say "my shit stinks sometimes too"

[jjgold]

Very hard to be the team that probably has now the best pitching in the American League

Chapman goes down, and all of a sudden Clay Holmes is Cy Young.

Clay Holmes was a gas can in Pittsburgh, a shit bum, hamburger.

Holmes's pitching out of his shoes, 25 games in relief, WHIP of 0.6, given up just one run 0.34 ERA, strikes out over one an inning,

Digest this.
Holmes is 4 -0, with eight saves, and seven holds all in relief.

Gave up an earned run on opening day, untouchable since.
From laughing stock in Pittsburgh, Yanks give the Pirates a box or rocks for him, and now he's the King of Sinker Balls.
All of a sudden he's the greatest closer since Mo with the greatest sinker ball since Orel Hershiser.

4 wins
8 saves
7 holds

All in relief. Who does that?
Wins games, holds leads, saves games.
Next week he'll turn water into wine.

The Pirates? We are the worse run franchise in all of sports. We gave Cole away for nothing, and then gave Musgrove who we got back for Cole away for nothing. Glasnow and Meadows basically for just Archer when he was way on his downside and unhealthy

You're a Pirates fan, I don't need to go into the details of what they gave away in their history,
My God, what happened, from Maz in the 60's to "We are Family" 1979 team of Stargell and Dave Parker who stunned Baltimore to win the WS.


Kent Tekulve used to throw that submarine pitch, dropped is arm to the ground, threw from the dirt.
For two decades they were in the Reds Big Red Machine class.
Pirates have given away in their history, let's see.

Doug Drabek
Jason Schmidt
John Tudor

My dad will say Ralph Kiner.

My favorite, Pirates traded for a broken down Benito Santiago.
So broken down he caught four games after Pit traded for him, never to catch again.

Thing about it is, everybody in MLB knew Santiago was finished before the trade.

Yeah. Since the early 90’s. They just play for that Yankee check every year.

Oh wow, Tigers are hanging tough today!

This question was posed to some of us analytics geeks last week.

I'm sure most of you are aware of the WAR metric is.

(Wins Above Replacement)

And the question was this.

If you assembled a twenty six man dugout, using the absolute best players (based on WAR) from 1 - 26

Best catcher in the game, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, and so on so forth.
Best five man starting rotation one - five, ditto bullpen.
Would that team consisting of the best of the best, the elite at every position, would they go a perfect 162-0
The answer all the analytics came up with in less than a second was a resounding NO

[pavyracer]

Not sure why you are all hating on ElGrecu. He gave you 4 easy winners in a row with Yankees. What else do you need? Do you need him to push the submitt button on your account to bet the Yankees? What else can he do?

[Kermit]

Gallo ties it up with a 2 run shot.

[jjgold]

in a battle everyone here needs yanks

[Kermit]

Game tied up.

I need the Yanks over 4.5 and have them parlayed -1 with the game over 7, so looks like I'm going to have to sweat this one out.

[Brock Landers]

F ucking atrocious pitching, just terrible fielding

Going to lose to Detroit

[Kermit]

All tied up again.

The baseball gods were listening

[Brock Landers]

Detroit with throwing errors to give the lead away

[stevenash]

Yanks were -800 live 20 minutes ago when they were up one run.

[Brock Landers]

Yankees with multiple dead spots in the batting order

Hicks is just clueless at the plate
The catching position is almost an auto out
Gallo making contact is a minor miracle

Gallo may very well be the biggest whiff machine we've seen since Dave Kingman, and that includes Mo Vaughn.

[Brock Landers]

Now it's all about surviving this stupid ghost runner in the extra innings

The game has been ruined with this crap

[pavyracer]

Yanks Win! ElGrecu with another easy cash.

[Brock Landers]

Easy my ass

Yankees extremely lucky to win that one.

But, that's all that matters, they won

[svsooner]

Yanks Win! ElGrecu with another easy cash.

I doubt he won. I thought he had Yanks on the run-line so that would be a loss.

[jjgold]

[pavyracer]

He has another thread for today. He never mentioned the RL. He said he has Yankees and Mets.

[svsooner]

He has another thread for today. He never mentioned the RL. He said he has Yankees and Mets.

I'm just going off what he said just yesterday

"Also ML plays are stupid. Gotta play the run line for any semblance of value"

Maybe he changed his mind, but betting -300ish favs all the time won't work

Betting -200 line won't work either.
Dodgers keep on proving that.

[GT21Megatron]

I’m on Tigers +1.5 today

Another winner laker
