Cincinnati Reds +1800 to win the World Series

BettingWizard · 05-16-11, 06:33 PM

No chance

Dusty will never win another playoff game

as much as i dislike agreeing with you, this team is very skilled and efficient on both sides of the ball and that price is very worth-while. the phillies, redsox and yankees arent the projected super-teams many anticipated. they're definitely in the mix and that is not a bad price.

No pitching, no chance.

Really no pitching? The Reds starting rotation outside of Volquez seems to be getting their shite together and have looked good as of late. Getting Homer Bailey and Johnny Cueto back was a big boost to the staff.

no knowledge, no sense.

As the local Reds fan around here I like the play, but I am biased.

Maniac · 05-16-11, 10:03 PM

I think that they do have chances, but for me +1800 (or +2000 as I see with a couple UK books) just isnt enough value for a team that may well be relying on a wildcard spot to make the post season.

BOL though

zam77 · 05-16-11, 10:35 PM

Picked them to win it with some free pick from bodog... maybe i'll put some real flow down.

Wiggums5 · 05-16-11, 10:39 PM

got them at +2500 before the start of the season

Bcatswin · 05-16-11, 10:54 PM

Im the local Reds fan, i go to least 20 games a year!!!!!

Poker_Beast · 05-16-11, 10:57 PM

Seems like good odds to me

got tickets to reds/indians next weekend. gonna be a good interleague series with both finally playing well at same time.

iceminers26 · 05-16-11, 11:02 PM

they have been stroking the ball of late, if pitching comes around they are in the mix

Jericholic · 05-16-11, 11:06 PM

I like that bet. They may need to add a piece or two at the trade deadline, but they should be in position at the end of the season.

Bcatswin · 05-16-11, 11:14 PM

Nice Zam i will be there for 1 one of em at least.

THE PROFIT · 05-16-11, 11:19 PM

Reds are my team, only team I follow in bases really. I hope youre right

paco · 05-16-11, 11:21 PM

Nice odds. Great hitters.

Cordero is the ? mark.

pennsylvania209 · 05-16-11, 11:26 PM

Wait till the reds play against teams above .500.

wtt0315 · 05-16-11, 11:27 PM

i like the odds here on this

Bswitz32 · 05-16-11, 11:31 PM

I like that price...i may have to throw some down on it as well.
Nice pitching and very good bats

BOL

dannyd66 · 05-16-11, 11:36 PM

Feel Confident.........

they will be in the mix, somehow, someway.......too good of a team not to be-----I'd like to see Volquez round back into the form he showed the last two years......can't figure out how teams have him figured-out........tipping his pitches or something?

Bcatswin · 05-16-11, 11:53 PM

He just needs to throw strikes...

sweethook · 05-17-11, 12:34 AM

i like it 18-1 is good value on then

TheNew · 05-17-11, 12:44 AM

better shot with Braves IMO

Better pitching and more solid lineup

20 & 30-1 in some places

arroyo, cueto, bailey, wood, volquez oh yeah and that guy that chapman who has a 105mph fast ball.

No coincidences · 05-17-11, 01:25 AM

No ace.

No closer.

No thanks.

A No. 3/4 starter, a No. 3 starter, a No. 5 starter, a No. 5 starter (at best) and a guy with No. 1 stuff who can't seem to get right mentally.

CoCo is a declining closer as well.

Gonad · 05-17-11, 01:46 AM

Cordero, to this point, is having a lights out (read:contract) year... The fact that they don't have the ace starter might kill them, have many young arms that might evolve into one... Maybe or maybe not this year...

Rolen has to stay healthy as well, their record without him is indicative of where the team goes...

In theory, it's Volquez. And Cueto could be a good No. 2.

They just aren't there yet (not sure if they ever will be).

Cueto(including last season) and Bailey have acquitted themselves nicely so far this year, Wood and Leake have undiscovered potential... Volquez has number one stuff, to go along with a ten-cent head... Arroyo will eat up the innings... No one knows what September will bring...

Not quite sure if the Reds are worth 18-1, but their depth is such that they won't be going away any time soon...

tatddy · 05-17-11, 02:23 AM

Fun team but anything you put on this is flushing money down the toilet

beach nut · 05-17-11, 06:42 AM

They will fall apart in the playoffs just like last year.

dochall2u · 05-17-11, 07:12 AM

I do hope you are correct but A long way to go;Phillies pitching staff is going to be a hard nut to crack in the playoffs

tshizzle · 05-17-11, 08:45 AM

Not a bad play for the odds. I think they're for real especially after sweeping the cards.
