Monday Linecum vs Verlander

[sickler]

It's a pick 'em at Pinny:

Mon 6/16 959 Detroit Tigers
J. Verlander +1.5 -222 -104
07:15 PM 960 San Francisco Giants
T Lincecum -1.5 +202 -104


Which direction will this line move? Verlander having an off year and Linecum with the offensively challenged offense. Value has to be with the giants in this spot.

[Deuce]

Verlander gets the W. Tigers ML.

[AgainstAllOdds]

money will shift to Verlander

[sickler]

You guys might be right. Verlander is still a stud, but ya can't ignore that sparkling 1.99 era.

I'm laying off for now.

[ryanXL977]

easy call

SF

lincecum is the best pitcher there is

period

verlander sucks

[nysmoneyman]

think about this...tigers can score...giants have a harder time scoring...TL isn't going 9 innings

[ryanXL977]

lincecum can go 7 or 8. lincecum can handle granderson and ordonez
i will take lincecum every game till he hurts me
he never has yet

[BeatTheJerk]

detriot is 3-11 & 0-5 on the rd this year when verlander starts ! how can you take verlander in this spot ? sf all the way maybe even take the runline !

[BeatTheJerk]

unless this trend starts to turn who the fuk knows ............... but i'll ride this trend until it breaks

[ryanXL977]

verlander is not good either
licnecum is great
i will take the best pitcher in baseball at even money at home
you guys go with the tigers and their 12-21 away record.
i will take tiny tim and his 8-1 record this yr, 1.99 era, and 1.2 whip
you guys take verlander, his 5 era, and 0-5 road record

tigers suck ass
sf at least tries to win

[nysmoneyman]

are all those giants out of the lineup again?

[ryanXL977]

nope
molina will play
lewis will play too

[pat venditto]

no significant edge either side. linceum the best in the game right now, but have no offense. tigers verlander has potential but obv right now not in linceum's league but tigers offense is capable of putting up a 10 spot vs anybody.

pass

[ryanXL977]

linceum, home, even money

easy call
he has made me 5k this yr

easy call
they may lose but not bc of him

[pat venditto]

no edge either side

[ryanXL977]

well you guys can believe him or me
i will let rssults speak for themselves

[Deuce]

Always go with the streak. Never bet against it.

[fifawcs]

Ryan does have a point. Lincecum has shut down the Phillies on two occasions, who have an offense that is similar to Detroit's. Also, Detroit has an awful road record. I don't think the Tigers have ever faced Lincecum, so he will probably be even more effective. Lincecum has also gotten a good amount of run support from his team this year, an average of 4.78 per game. You should also remember that Verlander pitching in an NL stadium means that he has to hit, which will make the Detroit offense worse off while giving the Giants an advantage in that category.

[ryanXL977]

i believe the giants are a BIG play here. they arent going to lose at home forever, and lincecum has yet to lose coming off an sf loss

EASY CALL

pound sf

[fifawcs]

The Tigers have been won 6 straight, but all of those wins were at home. I the value is with the Giants. The fact that they will have Molina and Fred Lewis back is also a plus.

[ZXCVBNM123]

Is it worth it taking the run line?

Very good odds there but who knows

[fifawcs]

I don't think so. Unless the matchup is ridiculously uneven, I generally don't do run lines. It can cause you to give up a game that you could have won with a money line. Sometimes, greed gets the best of us.

[rake922]

Over 7... this is the best bet

[onlooker]

I would be the Giants. (Fade me, I am ICE COLD)

[blackbart]

det 6 w is that the streak?
or
sf loser of 5/6

or linecum last start sf lost

[MJFtheGenius]

American league is just so much better then the NL

Tigers are the sharp play

[DIF]

lately verlander been splendid. but no run support been his problem.

Linecum splendid so far.

detroit struggle with offense away.

I say this seems like a low scoring games. total 7 is set correctly.

a gun against my head I take the UNDER7.

[DIF]

good point blackbart

there are always different streaks against each other.

just pick the right streak LOL.

[Cloak & Dagger]

every time this year the giants have lost a start with tiny tim they have come back to win his next start

I believe the trend is either 6-0 or 7-0 right now

look it up...last time against SD they were down 3 runs in extra innings and came back to win in a shocker to keep the trend alive

this is a spot play for me....Ive been waiting for this one

Load up boys.....then remember who gave you this useful information

[sickler]

The line now at Pinny is:

Det +101
SF -109

Moved against me. Damn, no play unless SF gets back to at least -104

[el matador]

det/sf under 7

Than looking at all the stats with these good pitchers.
Isn't the better play to take the under, im with you DIF.

[nysmoneyman]

like no run 1st inning

[ryanXL977]

the al is better, maybe

i will take phils and cubs anyday against anyone but boston

tor who cant hit
oak who cant hit
chisox who knows
angels cant hit
texas cant pitch
baltimore is a 500 team
cleveland sucks this yr

say what you want about the A's but their payroll is the same as the KC royals yet they are a scrappy team....who lives off their farm system....and brings up minor league players who find a way to get wins
