Why are the Brewers favored in Zona?

DrStale · 10-03-11, 11:58 PM

23-11 on the road in the 2nd half. Far cry from awful.

gohabsgo · 10-03-11, 11:59 PM

Because of Collmenter.
Kennedy is not pichting here

i know that but you are facing a 51-30 home team on the verge of elimination.

Zona are the Reds of last year. The Brew Crew were a team expected to make the playoffs. In the minds of the bookmakers, home field advantage is not enough to negate the "Arizona is really not that good" veneer that has plagued them all season. I hope they win, but I am not betting on it.

how many of those 51 were against the padres and dodgers and giants? most of them likely- inferior competition. brewers have probably the third best batting lineup in the MLB playoffs this year.

You know that and yet you called them awful on the road. Right.

i take the whole record not a good stretch where they were beating up on slumping teams.

Collmenter is struggled his second time around facing teams.

You forgot L'Astros too.

The NL Central is far better than the NL West... <hell, the Astros took 5 of 7 or something from the Giants, right?

Listen... the Brewers are favored tomorrow because they have a better pitcher and a better lineup and a better bullpen.

Will they win? Maybe, maybe not, but the line is right.

I like the Dbacks as home dogs in this spot

YEah for real. Zona won one less game than the crew. Sure they got slapped around in mil but mil is dynamite at home. dont get me wrong i have a play on mil to win the pennant that pays out 966 for a bill but i think zona survies till game 4.

priskilla22 · 10-04-11, 12:12 AM

Collmenter = 14 innings, 0 runs, 10 strikeouts, 6 hits vs the Brewers this year.

The sharp play here is the Under 9.

sweethook · 10-04-11, 12:16 AM

i gota go with it ,zona at home

I'm buying this too.
I think game goes Over. Brewers are too hot right now.

stikymess · 10-04-11, 12:19 AM

Taking a stab with Arizona here, maybe a homer play for me, but got to think/hope these guys avoid sweep.

Ricki Roma · 10-04-11, 12:19 AM

Brewees sweep no problem imo

pacerboy · 10-04-11, 12:25 AM

WE'VE FOUND THE LOCK

YOU ALL KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!

ALL IN BREWERS

ThaTopMoron · 10-04-11, 12:27 AM

Brewers are going to sweep... get off of the DBacks LB already

isnt it. i dont find it odd. pacerboy must be drunk.

SASH · 10-04-11, 12:53 AM

I like the Dbacks here, not sure why they're dogs. Not crazy about Marcum

Blutarski · 10-04-11, 04:52 AM

The Brewers are favored in Arizona because they are the better team.

Ice House · 10-04-11, 04:56 AM

just my 2 cents ... take the over

LT Profits · 10-04-11, 05:08 AM

Arizona or pass. I rate this game a toss-up, so getting + odds on the home team has value. Thing is, they may not have + odds everywhere. Some may have -115/-105, but if you have dime lines, Zona should be the play if you must play this game.

Ice House · 10-04-11, 05:15 AM

Ryan Braun is an arrogant fukk but he is a gamer... very impressed with RB so far in the playoffs

JR007 · 10-04-11, 05:18 AM

bait to make you take the brewers, you always pay the price in elimination games

bobbyfk · 10-04-11, 05:19 AM

On Zona here...

Is he? I've never heard him interviewed or anything but I am a huge fan of his because he does everything right on the field. It would be a shame if he detracts from that with his mouth.

Sportsbetting123 · 10-04-11, 05:53 AM

I think AZ offers good value here. I also like the over as well. Best of luck

SaintsFan · 10-04-11, 06:06 AM

Marcum is solid esp on road. Crew lineup at full strength for 1st time all season basically.

SEAHAWKHARRY · 10-04-11, 06:19 AM

LB just post who you are on so I can fad you your like 1-1last 18 fading you is like gold7

thetrinity · 10-04-11, 11:28 AM

small lean to the brewers, tough game to call though IMO.
