Who else is with me?

if by with you, you mean against you, then im with you
phils is the play
how often do you get a home dog in the loffs? myers is a bad ass. he beats his wife and throws good games afetr the ASBComment -
what do y'all expect from sabathia today?
isn't he going on 3 days rest? he sure has thrown a lot of innings and pitches especially of late...
what are post season numbers. I recall he did pretty good in his cleveland years right?Comment -
Under 8 is betterComment -
i love the tribe, but cc was not very good last yr if i recall
tired out
phils are abetter team, better pen, at home
hard not to take home teams in the loffsComment -
I agree guy. -130 ml for CC is a steal. I'm on it..
Comment -
under might be a play, as earlier today I saw that myers dominated the brew-crew last time he saw them... But I also think that myers has been ragged lately... should have been given some good rest, have to go back and look closely again.
the phils pen is tough that, that IS for sureComment -
I think it might be the worst.Comment -
i agree
laying on the road is not a winning idea
oyu are betting on cc vs the best offense in the nl imo.
and myers is fully capable of doing anything cc doesComment -
Well, I'd suggest not fading this in your 128 man bud, because that +6500 would be a sweet payday..Originally posted by rjt721

I'm on Phillies +124, and the line move afterwards makes me feel better.

Brett Myers....... I'm NOT betting on Brett Myers in October, thats for sure. He's given up 14 ER in 8 innings in his last 2 starts. That was at home against Atlanta and on the road at Florida. C.C. is my best bet tonight. He's pitched on 3 days rest in each of his last 3 starts. Philly HAS NOT seen C.C. this year and the Brew Crew faced Myers last month. Admittingly, Myers did shut them down but I'm pretty sure that Myers isn't a big game pitcher and WON'T be able to hold down the Brewers again tonight. Keep in mind that this IS a DO OR DIE game for Milwaukee since they're down 1-0 in the series right now.
Milwaukee -116 (Matchbook)Comment -
brewers go down tonite
take the home dog. it never fails to make money over the course of a season or loffs
its not just myers vs CC
its the whole team., people forget thisComment -
The best post so far. Someone did their homework.Originally posted by TPowell

why use only his last 2, why not use his last 12
picking and choosing only reinforces biases.
phils win this game
and the nlComment -
Well, to be honest I didnt feel like going back any further. His last 12 starts? Why not use his SEASON stats LOL? Milwaukee will WANT this game more than Philly will though. Milwaukee knows THIS IS the series tonight. If C.C. loses, who could win for Milwaukee?Comment -
Myers has dominated the Brewers all four times he's faced them, including a Complete Game two-hitter a couple of weeks ago.Comment -
CC being a power lefty with nasty stuff, neutrilizes two big bats in howard and utley and relegates them to average at best hitters and changes the look of that line-up from top to bottom for sure.
ryan, you honestly don't look at a pitcher's recent track record for indications of injury, dead arm, poor mechanics, losing their stuff... i think more then hitters, a pitcher's recent performance means a lot. there is obviously no 1:1 correlation but I beleive there is a strong connection...
at some point a pitcher is gonna turn around a cold streak, or find his command/stuff and go on a hot streak after a cold one... but honestly in august, and septemeber when oswalt was pitching, didn't his last 2-3 outings start to influence how you capped him?Comment -
LT, outside of this year's shutout that Myers pitched, he hasnt faced them since 2005. He IS 4-0 against the Brewers with a solid ERA though. Trends like that shouldnt be leaned on though IMOComment -
amigo, they can want it all they wantOriginally posted by TPowell
every team wants everygame
that logic costs people a lot of money
im sure the pats wanetd the superbowl
im sure the spurs wanted to win game 6 vs lal. milwaukee is not good. they cant want it all they want. there aint any value layin on the road vs a beter team with better offense,. defense. pitching and pen
youa re betting solely on cc

the Superbowl? When did the Superbowl turn into a 5 game series though? C.C. has been lights out and WILL continue to be lights out in AAA (National League). Anybody have any odds on what league C.C. plays in next year?
Comment -
not sure who would use team BA to show best offense
runs is of much greater import. rollins had a down year, i think he is better than he played. to me, they are the best offense in the nlComment -
BA means nothing... its the runs first and foremost, as they don't tally the hits/abs and get a calculator out at the end of 9 innings... runs scored, and phils put them up in bunches, think HR's and opsComment -
You;re right, so just look at his performance two weeks ago.Originally posted by TPowellComment -
and that offense is big, especially when a team pretty much has 6 innings to get to phils starters and then don't have much of a chance of coming from behind when facing lidge, romero, durbin and companyComment -
I'm supposed to bet on the performance of one game??? Guys like Myers make their living pitching those regular season games. When it comes to the big games, let the big boys like C.C. handle it. The result of a start 2 weeks ago is important, but it isn't that big of a deal. What about the fact that he's pitched HORRIBLY in his last starts?Comment -
Seems no one else has pointed out the fact that this is CC's fourth straight start on three days rest, and this time he is coming off of a 122-pitch outiing. That would take a toll on anyone.Comment -
i love CC and i love the tribe but laying solely on a pitcher is a very fast way to lose your money
im not huge on phils today like i was yesterday, but home dogs pay out all the time
EX: LVILLE VS KST!!!Comment -
I love the Brewers, but I'm on Philly +108 tonight.Comment -
Too bad Cleveland didn't see ANY of that in the '07 postseason.Originally posted by CrazyLYou'll be seeing a lot of this all game long.

this is the playoffs though, college sports are WAY different. CC's pitched on 3 days rest, three times already. I'm not sure if it's a bad thing or not. Sometimes when you get used to pitching every so many days, it just feels "right". CC can throw for days and I dont think stamina is an issue tonight. He's pitched really well his last 3 starts on 3 days rest so why doubt him now? I think him getting used to throwing on 3 days rest is important here. Not to mention how bad he wants to prove himself now so he can cash in during the off-season. The Brewers looked bad yesterday on offense, but they faced FAR AND AWAY Philly's best pitcher.Comment -
i would like to fade cc, but you're not getting a good price
+114? forget that
cc -116 for value aloneComment -
home dogs
thats my 02 cents
we will see
i am not proclaiming phils to be a great bet
but i would not do milw here
that team sucksComment
