agree, JMac struggles tonight imo and Stros get an early lead

thetrinity · 07-02-12, 04:50 PM

have pirates been this big a favorite ever? im not recalling them around 180 very often

iceminers26 · 07-02-12, 04:53 PM

think they hit the 160 range once this year but that's the highest I remember seeing them

hundredbombs · 07-02-12, 04:57 PM

74% of the public on PIT hahahaha

Pound the stros boys!

think i have to go hou ff...archie you know better than me but dont buccos have a sick record when leading after 6? figure hou has to be up after 5 or they more than likely wont come back while they could easily be up and blow a lead..

WvGambler · 07-02-12, 05:47 PM

I can't give ya the exact number but the Bucs have an insane record when leading after 5. Like 37-1 or something stupid like that.

PickWinnerAllDay · 07-02-12, 05:47 PM

I'm on the under. Astros couldn't hit Cubs' pitching, not even our bullpen. How will they hit McDonald and the Pirates' pen?

WvGambler · 07-02-12, 05:49 PM

I'd say this is more of a no play here. Can't see a reason to back the Stros

dom75 · 07-02-12, 06:47 PM

I jummped on the Stros myself. They have lost 4 in a row, with just being swept by the Cubs. Lyles has not won on the road yet, and I just felt like this was a big let down spot for the Pirates to lose.

yea i heard mention of that when they were here in stl this past weekend, needless to say my bets against bucs from now on are mainly 1st 5 inning plays...hopefully hou can hang on..

Bucs are suddenly too explosive to bet against

It's still a joke. You haven't seen 74% of the public on the Pirates in 15 years.

This thread kept me from playing the Pirates RL, bastards...

jeffdane · 07-02-12, 07:58 PM

pirates are hot 12-3 last 15 home games.
astros 4-19 last 23 road

obviously more to it than that but

not bashing or bragging, i didnt bet on this game, just a pirates fan

im not sure i ever saw 86% on pitt or -185 ml.

Darkside Magick · 07-02-12, 07:59 PM

I was on the under. I didn't think any major league caliber pitcher would get lit up by this putrid Pirates' offense. I was wrong.

Chi_archie · 07-02-12, 08:06 PM

I'm sorry, but the individual batters themselves are not good. They all have holes in their swings. Pirates will finish around or slightly below .500.. par for the course.

Chi_archie · 07-02-12, 08:08 PM

Pirates are the top hitting team (in terms of runs only) since June 1

I can't see them keeping this up with just McCutch, Alvarez and pretty much a cast of no-bodies

Jordan Lyles was great in June. Guy worked on some things with his mechanics and got back to basics. Change Speeds, Change eye levels, work the corners in and out, work fast!

Astros is the play, every which way

Its just amazing how every one of these selection threads keep losing night after night.

Don't get why you guys weren't on Pittsburgh? I thought they were the play of the day along with Milwaukee and St. Louis. Who gives a fukk about "juice" if you're picking winners.

I had this play winning 42% of the time

its a long term numbers thing. I cashed big on the Pirates as Dogs in St. Louis. Thought it was time to get back to fading them....
