Am I the only one Taking the Phillies +135 to win the World Series?
Seems like everyone I talk to is on Tampa Bay to win the World Series and I just don't see it. I think the Phillies have the edge in every aspect in this best of seven series.

Me too.
Fvck the Rays.... they doesn't deserve a world title with one of worst attendance records and for killing Steve Irwin.Comment -
Fvck the rays. We can't let them get away with killing Steve Irwin. Phils all the way. Where did u see +135? I'll take that any day.Comment -
Agree,where the hell did he get +135,the best I could muster was +122.Originally posted by fifawcsComment -
I grabbed that last night when it first opened sir.Originally posted by fifawcsComment -
the phillies had a luck streak to even be in the world series.i wish you could all see how stupid you are for taking the phillies to win the world series.
tampa has made it this far and now that they made it over the boston hump,the philles are next.........THE RAYS WILL SHOW WHY THEY HAD THE BEST RECORD IN BASEBALL.PHILLIES WILL BE LUCKY TO WIN 1 OR 2 GAMES.........RAYS ALL THE WAY BABY.........FVCK THE HATERS AND DOUBTERSComment -
im on phils
either phils win in 5, or rays win in 7
i think phils win but its no lock
luck has nothing to do with anything hereComment -
As earlier poster pointed out, I will cash against the Steve Irwin Murderers... hopefully. I like Philly for a lot of reasons, but the main reason I DON"T, is because of all the time off they have had? Does that concern anyone else? Rays don't have a ton of momentum but I think that could be a deciding factor in this series.Comment -
Andrewsurf, don't let the media fool you. If you think the Phils are relaxing right now, think again. They are just as appreciative of being in the WS as the Rays. The Rays are going to be worn out from this series. Do you see how many bullpen guys Maddon uses? Think about what's going to happen if the Phils own Kazmir, which is a possibility. His bullpen has shown some of its weaknesses because he continues to turn to them. It's a good thing Garza gave a lot of innings yesterday, cuz they needed it. They do have a few days off, but the Phils will come into this series hitting.Comment -
doesnt concern me in anyway shape or form
colorado sucked bc colorado wasnt good, that was last yr, dif team
rays wont be worn out either
its baseball guys, they play it every day for their lives
they are all fineComment -
I wasn't necessarily referring to the Rays coming into the series worn out. But Maddon goes to that bullpen a lot. He was able to get away with it against a struggling boston pitching staff. But the Phils have a bullpen that is equal to, probably better than the Ray's. Hamels at even money in game 1 against Kazmir is a steal.Comment -
phils pen is better
rays pitching is better
phils hitting is better
rays d is better.
ill take philsComment -
Ryan, I would say starting pitching is about equal.
Shields, Garza, Sonnanstine, Kazmir
Hamels, Myers, Blanton, Moyer
Hamels is better than Shields. Myers and Garza are almost the same pitcher. Blanton and Sonnanstine are the same. Kazmir is slightly better than Moyer. But in this series, Hamels/Moyer will have the lefty advantage against the Rays. Think about the lefties the Rays have faced this postseason. Besides Lester's bad start due to lack of rest and Buehrle's, they haven't had much success. Phils have the better pitching staff, by a hair. I agree with everything else.Comment -
kazmir is better than moyer by a MILE
and the rays are fine vs lefties, you are wrong there. aki, cc, upton, long are fine.
starting pitching matchups arent what im lookin at here. im more concentrating on offense and bullpens and i think phils have an edge in both.
again, tampa hits lefties my man, raked lester once, beat lester and buerhle each again!!!
fifa, you know tb is legit!Comment -
I'm not saying they aren't, I just don't think they will be Phils. Bear in mind that my opinions on these players are only my opinions for the postseason. If you were to ask me straight up who is better Moyer or Kaz, I would say Kaz in a second. But the truth of the matter is, Kaz has blown in this postseason as has Moyer. So they are considered equals. From a GM standpoint though, I would take Kaz easily.
I think phils should trade Burrell. They can get some good players for him and could always move dobbs to the outfield.Comment -
Comment -
i think burrell is an FA and probably gone unless something changes. he is a helluva hitter though. he is a dh for sure.
kazmir dominated boston in game 5 fifa.Comment -
I loved Stingrays on a Plane.
RAYS IN SEVEN!!!
Comment -
But look at his other appearances. Burrell is good. But think about the Phils starting pitching for next season. The reason why I am really stoked on them this postseason is that the rotation becomes 4 man instead of 5. Remember Kyle Kendrick? That guy's gotta go. It sucks that he is going to be a free agent. If they could only trade him, they would be able to get a lot in return.Comment -
kendrick wont be starting for them, ever
they have hammels, myers, blanton, not sure if moyer will be there, they also have JA happ.
kendrick wont be in their plans.
kazmir is a bad ass. he is just a 5-6 inning guy though
if he gets his first inning shit together, he is a top tier spComment -
hammels to be fav, and I like blanton. But I don't see how Phills would be favs in too many games in the series. +135 seems fair, 122 too lowbird bird da bird's da wordComment -
BBD, I took the Phillies last week at +130, so that means the Rays will win.Comment -
Phils are still +130 at 5 DimesOriginally posted by MBENZComment -
128reduced 122regular been dropping
I expect it to go back up as the week progressesbird bird da bird's da wordComment -
The Phillies (girl horsies) dont want NO part of Tampa
NO PART
its a wrap
they took out the champs....Comment -
phils hitting better? really?"This is why my basketball intelligence is unmatched on this site. I'm sure there are better cappers but no one can tell you the strategies of most coaches before the game even starts "

Phillies win this series, I won't consider hedging until after Game 2. I am banking on them getting at least a split at Tampa, and then I could get TB series as nice hedge.Comment -
Good lord Ryan he has been a stiff almost his whole entire career and he wont hit shit this series with pressure on him unless they throw it right down the middle of the plate.Originally posted by ryanXL977Comment -
no need to bet the series
ill just do game 1, if they lose series price goes to 180 or 200Comment -
But conversely ryan, if the phils win, the series price will be worse.Comment -
fine with meOriginally posted by fifawcs
ill take the game one winnings if they win. just bc they win g1 doesnt mean they win the series. there is no reason to be on the series but not game 1, none at allComment -
RAYS rays RAYS at every book to the max
Tell em Tsoprano sent you.Comment -
BBD, If I were to play the series, I'd take Philadelphia +135 as well, I'm with you on that!Comment -
Well my situation is different in that I have Phils +770, so there is no need for me to bet Game 1. I'll just root for Phils to win at least one of first two games, and then I'll be golden.Comment -
yes, if you have phils+770 you have only to decide between hedging or notComment
