    Game of the Year MLB
    Boys,

    As you may know, I have a site where I audiocast my plays each day. I have what amounts to the strongest play of the season today Saturday May 22nd. I like this game for several reasons, not the least of which is the team I am advising lost last night as a big chalk.


    ..........................Play the Rays, lay the 150 and also lay the run and a half and you wont pay any juice. They are in Houston so TB will get all their at bats (if they were at home and leading, they would not get the benefit of their last 3 outs and this could be important if it is a tight game). Rodriguez is chucking for the Astros (2-5 4.30 ERA 1.52 WHIP) and last time at home he could not even get to the 5th inning against Arizona as he let up 5 earned runs on 9 hits. Now he's got to face a potent Tampa bay line up with a nice pitcher in Jeff Niemann (3-0 2.54 ERA 1.15 WHIP) on the hill for the Rays.

    TB is 17-5 on the road averaging 5.9 runs per game while the Astros are 9-16 at home averaging 3.0 runs per game.

    Look, there's no such thing as a lock and there are no guarantees. We all know that. In addition, you'll probably lay north of 150 as this line should rise. Not easy to stomach if it goes down. But this looks like a game of the year kind of play to me. Just my 2 cents.

            Good luck fellas. No guarantees but it looks like a sharp play. Will take the next 2 months off out of shame and embarassment if it flames.

                              Well, let's put it this way. I am not clairvoyant and I do not know if I will like a game this much going forward. Perhaps there will be a spot in the future that I will. To qualify my statement, perhaps I should have written, Game of the Year MLB...so far.

                                    The line on this game has ballooned to over 170 in some spots. Get it now because by 7:05 ET this could go much higher.

                                      SL looks good as well. Kazmir has been a disaster for Anaheim on the road this year.

                                            And if TB loses will we see them touted as the play of the year again tomorrow?

                                              you really needed to explain they get their 9th inning at bats becase they are on the road?

                                              wow.. im sure a lot of people would have missed that angle.

                                                  Gee, let's see. We have a guy sitting on the sidelines offering nothing but criticism on a selected game because it looks...obvious? I think you just made my point...to go along with the one underneath your hair.

                                                  Ah, and here's the stumbling, bumbling Profane. Peep's 1st cousin. He's just like his avatar, Dwight Schrute, without his good looks and charisma.

                                                    I am far from sitting on the sidelines, but I can't refrain from comenting on moronic posts. Will they win? More than 70% chance imo. But it is BASEBALL so in order to put that "Play of the year" statement next to any BET is ludicrious. But if you or anyone elce can't see that then no amount of words will cahnge it for you.


                                                    There, that is what I brought to your thread. Consider it an education.

                                                          Tampa Bay is 1-6 all-time against the Astros and lost two of three matchups when these teams last met in 2008 at Tropicana Field. Houston swept the Rays from June 6-8, 2003 in Tampa's only appearance in Houston.

                                                          Tampa is 99-116 all-time in interleague action, while the Astros sport a mark of 101-100.
