Joe Blanton and Jamie Moyer don't scare anyone.

Only game Phillies have a chance in is the next Hamels game...

Wrong, the Phiiles win this series. I will hedge after they WIN Game 3 tomorrow.

LT!!! I'm gonna win one of these times we disagree. I think this may be that time.

Although I'll admit, it always feels a little nicer being on the same side as you

Not ALL dogs, just the ones that have value. I am holding a Phillies +770 and am not hedging right now.

At some point the Phillies have to get a good outing by someone not named Cole.

Philly has to somehow get it to game 7 and they have a good shot

CaneDawg · 10-24-08, 01:38 PM

its going 7 games

allwater334 · 10-24-08, 01:41 PM

OnTheWhat, u must be as bad at gambling as u r at college hoops...Phillies win this series and Blanton definitely gets the win and im thinking Moyer too...Phillies in 6

No, Phils did what they had to do by winning at least one game in Tampa. Of course 2-0 would have been great, but they'll win at least two out of three at home, and don't be surprised if they win all three and rap series up in five.

ryanXL977 · 10-24-08, 02:32 PM

if they hit like they have been hitting, they are in trouble
i have felt all year theyd get to this point, but their offense has been bad and its possible they wont hit all series. i still think they will win it but im not sure like iw as

SBR Lou · 10-24-08, 02:55 PM

The series is already a foregone conclusion as far as I'm concerned. The Rays kicked ass and exceeded everyones expectations all year long, and after that rollercoaster ride with the Sox does anyone seriously believe they'll not seal the deal after coming this far? It's just their time..

Yes.

ryanXL977 · 10-24-08, 03:00 PM

its 1-1
i wish i had a dollar for all the sbr posters saying bosox were gonna win after being up 1-0.

phils did their job. what concerns me is their hitting with risp. hard to win when you do that
hopefully it evens out soon
or maybe the umps get their heads out

moyer is garbage

...most casinos have so many futures bets on the rays that they will always make the line attractive to bet the phillies to try and offset what they will get killed on if the rays win the series

yisman · 10-24-08, 03:17 PM

I think it goes 7 games.

But this is why I said to take them after Game 1. Don't wait for them to win a game first.

ryanXL977 · 10-24-08, 03:20 PM

i will let you know after tmrw what i think, as of now, i agree it goes 7
going in i thought phils could win in 5, 6 max.
their hitting is disgustin, rollins is poop and the umps aint helpin

LT Profits · 10-24-08, 03:31 PM

I honestly thought I had nothing to lose by waiting until after Game 2 because I assumed the Rays would be + money even at 1-1 with Philly now having HFA. After all, wasn't TB +155 after Game 1? I didn't expect them to go from +155 to -130 after winning a game that they were heavily favored in.

Oh well. it is not the end of the world.

SBR Lou · 10-24-08, 03:37 PM

LT, remember when you ripped up your Lakers series ticket before it was over? Do the same now with the Phillies.

LT Profits · 10-24-08, 03:41 PM

MAJOR DIFFERENCE: I knew that series was over after Game 2 and was lucky enough to get Celts +100 after Game 3. In this case, I am still very confident the Phillies win at least two oiut of three at home, if not all three.

element1286 · 10-24-08, 03:41 PM

Very interesting, hopefully the Rays win tomorrow so I can buy off my Rays ticket with a decent return.

when a team gets its first win, typically the odds swing big.

Should've taken the +155. That was damn good odds.

element1286 · 10-24-08, 03:44 PM

I took the Rays +130 right after game one.

Where was +155 at?

LT Profits · 10-24-08, 03:47 PM

Like I said, not that big a deal. I may get another chance to hedge and if not, hey it would be a one-unit loss with ia +770 shot. No worries.

LT Profits · 10-24-08, 03:49 PM

I thought I saw +155 on 5 Dimes Reduced? I could be wrong, since I intended to wait until after Game 2 all along so I wasn't paying the fullest attention.

patsfan2727 · 10-24-08, 03:54 PM

I love all this back and forth action for the winner of the series. I took rays to win the WS before game 5 of the ALCS, at +150. If I hedge now with Philly I guarantee myself profit, however I won't because I hate the Phillies and will be rooting against them until they finally pack it in...

ryanXL977 · 10-24-08, 04:57 PM

phils will win 2 of 3, then we go from there
if phils win tmrw, its over

I have no idea why you'd think any different.
and TB is once again a legit favorite as they have been throughout.
TB is likely to win next two and have chance to close it out against hamels.

LT Profits · 10-24-08, 06:00 PM

Rays were -140 before series with HFA

Now Phils have HFA and Rays are -130? I would think adjusted line would have shifted more. These teams are very evenly matched, so I would think HFA is more crucial than usual.

reno cool · 10-24-08, 06:05 PM

I think the key is you got Hamels out of the way.

Both dogs lost. Myers being a bigger dog makes the difference of 10-20cents
