don't worry guys, next year you can fade verlander over and over again, lose about 8 times for every time you do win and then come on here and brag about how brilliantly "sharp" you are for fading the best pitcher in the league

Sounding like a true homer but I think they can. Momentum, confident, great lineup.
Verlander
Max
Fister
Best closer Valverde.
These guys just don't lay down no matter what the deficit they are in.
Gonna be an exciting postseason

Middle relief is atrocious, and I don't trust Max in the postseason.

Has V-Mart's ball landed yet?

The tigers are MLB's hottest team right now. There's no way I'd ever go against them at this point, especially with Verlander on the mound...that guy has been money. AL CY.

verlander is better than any pitcher on the yanks and texas. beckett might be his equal on playoff rep only. they need porcello to be good. they can hit though. that lineup is stacked. remember how they beat the yanks in 05?

I put some money on Tigers to win AL a few weeks ago at around 9-1. Mostly a homer pick as I'm from MI but it's lookin good.

Their middle relief still hasn't proven anything.
I obviously trust Verlander in the postseason, but how many playoff innings have Fister and Max logged? Porcello's struggled and don't even get me started on Penny. At some point, these losers before Benoit and Valverde are going to have to prove they can help win a pennant.

They have professional hitters. Underrated lineup, but not much speed. You have to manufacture runs in the playoffs -- we'll see if they can do that.
As for the AL pennant odds dropping, maybe it's because they're the hottest team in baseball?

Brahma we're agreeing a lot lately. We agreed on this play and we agree on Bears +7.
Sox Fans know better than most what this Tiger team is capable of, The only other team who has whupped us this badly this year was the Yankees

not bashing anybody but thats not doing a good job of "picking your spots" very well. the hottest team in baseball with the best pitcher in baseball going.
is this thread here because you thought it was that good of a play that you should alert everyone of it so they can get on it? or do you wanna be the guy who called verlander losing? rhetorical. get em next time.

Trying to look sharp and build e-cred There was no reason at all to bet against the Tigers here especially with V on the mound. The sox are lucky to win this game 30% of the time. Just a bad bet. I'm surprised Patty was on it, he's usually better than this. To his credit, I think Patty got a much better line so in his case it may have been the right move. Oh well, onwards and upwards boys, lets focus on picking winners and fading losers

If I didn't think it was going to hit, I would not have posted. If any of the runners early in the game score, it could have been a different outcome.

The difference between winners and losers:
Tigers get hits in clutch at-bats, White Sox choke on them (like they just did).

White Sox are one of the worst teams in the league at stranding runners. Team just can't hit well, I've watched them all season long so I know. Most of the time they struggle to score more than 3 or 4 runs in a game.

I don't know how you can stand watching this team.
Williams should've been executed in centerfield a long time ago for signing Dunn and Rios for the money he did. Should've just gone after Jayson Werth and made it the trifecta.
If I didn't think it was going to hit, I would not have posted. If any of the runners early in the game score, it could have been a different outcome.
not questioning whether or not it was really your lean. it was a question as to if you posted it because it was that strong of a lean or because it was that "interesting" of a lean.
not attacking you at all buddy. wish you'd won.

It's better than watching the cubs.
Sox haven't been this bad all season, they were 3 games back of the division lead at one point. Then a few weeks ago they played the tigers and got absolutely destroyed, it demoralized them, and now the team just mopes through games and is more pathetic than usual

They were only in the race because the Tigers and Indians were mediocre for a long time.
White Sox are the most underachieving and dysfunctional team in baseball.

I didn't take it that way.
If it wasn't an interesting pick, what is the use of posting it in PT. I dont care if I predict who beat Verlander. I like the guy as a pitcher. He has been on my fantasy team for years (and killed me!).
If you read back a little I posted my reasoning on why I thought the ChiSox would win the game.
You win some, and you lose more.
For the record my pick tonight lost. Just incase some didn't realize it yet. LOL
Now on to the my last play of the night.
Now Come on Angels!!

Hopefully Tigers can find a way to win tomorrow with Brad Penny pitching another afternoon game. He's so terrible in day games.

Of course detroit is the better team. I think we all can tell what teams are better than certain teams. I thought there was value betting Wsox in this spot. Because i lost so miserably dont make my +1.5 bet bad. It just happened that 1 of those times it would have happened over a period of time.

thats even worse than moneyline wikk. at least the ML guys were getting a juicy price.
the fact that it lost doesnt make it bad. the fact that you bet against the most successful pitcher in baseball and the hottest team whos on a double digit win-streak with a team they dominate repeatedly for a bad price made it bad.

laid in bed last night thinking how lucky I was being from city with two hot teams both being money makers. I am now 5-0 with the Lions and have not lost yet with the tigers. Been posting and telling people Tigers are a money maker wishing everybody was feeling what I am. I also had Michigan last week and like State alot this weekend. Thadd book will show last night bets Det -1.5 -115 and Boston -1 -105 plus parlay and Tigers ML bet at -175. Early Monday morning I jumped on my NFL bets with the lions 7.5 -110 in Thadd's book.

I don't think Detroit has a shot in hell at the AL Pennant. The division is god awful, probably the worst in baseball. Plus they have struggled against the Yankees this year. I will probably root for them as much as it pains me to do so. Tigers pitching is really suspect except for Verlander. Scherzher has been iffy in the second half.
As for Sox v Verlander, not in the past couple of years. Around 07 and 08, there was a time when the White Sox were the only team that could actually hit him. Not since he added that changeup though. That was the key for him to step into elite status. The Sox did beat him once this year and came close another, but thats it. He is a really fun pitcher to watch.
