IT WOULD BE NICE IF YOU DIDN'T POINTLESSLY USE ALL CAPS

Yes, the Dodgers are a bit overpriced.

No, the Mariners are not.

face · 08-27-12, 07:52 AM

watch this be the one game where hernandez is off. i faded him a lot this year like a jackass. no more, he is maybe the best pitcher in baseball.

BEANTOWNJIM · 08-27-12, 07:56 AM

YAH BUT YOUR TEAM STILL HAS TO SCORE TO WIN

I DONT THINK SEATTLE WILL EVER BE CONFUSED WITH THE 27 YANKEES

I HATE BETTING BIG FAVORITES WITH TEAMS THAT DONT SCORE A LOT OF RUNS

Gnutti · 08-27-12, 08:08 AM

Yes the Dodgers are overvalued. Especially in Colorado every team could could, especially with such a pitcher... Will look at the Rockies TT over

But Seattle's line is fine. Hernandez is 8-0, 1.62 in his last twelve starts. And Hendriks is 0-6 with an 7 ERA...

Brock Landers · 08-27-12, 08:12 AM

Jimmy, rather than watch/bet on either of these games, I am going to watch school ties. A movie about a Massachusetts boarding school in the 50's who recruit a Jew quarterback!

A jew quarterback?? Unreal

lunchbawks · 08-27-12, 08:55 AM

Colorado essentially a AAA team, dodgers may put up 10-15 runs alone vs Francis and cover guys

vaas187 · 08-27-12, 09:49 AM

minni was hitting against texas...bats are working a bit. I bet minni takes it tonight against felix and beckett throws his first gem of the year.....maybe not a gem, too far. but dodgers will take game 1.

One person surely isnt enough to fade Felix tho, right? I mean Hendricks is pitching for MIN...

stevenash · 08-27-12, 11:54 AM

I wouldn't fade King tonight, but I'm not playing it either.
When Felix phucks up, it's ugly, something in my gut is telling me pass on this game tonight.

flyingillini · 08-27-12, 12:02 PM

BTJ, lay your money on Beckett and if he doesn't hit you can always call Barry Feinstein to make a complaint and you will get your money back.

Ghenghis Kahn · 08-27-12, 12:07 PM

this is in the month of august. it's not like minnesota has a juggernaut offense...

their ops is almost the same.

Seattle scores 4.5 a game on the road

LA is not a light hitting team.

Victroino leading off followed by Punto or Mark Ellis is fine.
Both second basemen are good with the stick in regards of getting runners over.

Now let's talk about the meat of the order.

Kemp
A-Gon
Han-Ram
Ethier (who had ten consecutive hits before that streak got snapped yesterday) is as solid as it gets.

All Ethier needed was one more bat in that line up, and A-Gon is not a fraud, he didn't feel right in Fenway, and he didn't even really stink it up there either.

The Dodger seven hitter, Luis Cruz is a .300 hitter.

Their catchers can't hit, but most catchers these day don't.

Light hitting? Hardly

ridims · 08-27-12, 12:42 PM

seattle/minn game soars over the total tonight.

Regul8er · 08-27-12, 12:43 PM

Beaner.....I think I remember seeing a stat a few weeks ago that Seattle is the highest scoring road team in MLB on the road.

yisman · 08-27-12, 12:45 PM

Beaner you made a bunch of posts about how Seattle was tops in the AL in road runs.

R.P. McMurphy · 08-27-12, 12:45 PM

Very simple I took the over in Colorado at 10 (already at 10.5) and put Seattle in 3t par they have been hot lately and can score runs they put up 8 I believe in Chicago just a couple nights ago. Twins suck... and Felix vs Hendriks lol (good luck)!

yisman · 08-27-12, 12:49 PM

The Dodgers have one of the best lineups in the NL now after getting Hanley Ramirez and Adrian Gonzalez. In fact, I'd put them #1 in the NL.

odog11 · 08-27-12, 12:57 PM

Rockies TT over 4.5 for me, will tack my chances on Becket pitching a gem in the altitude. Looks like a little bit of wind blowing out too.

dodger33 · 08-27-12, 01:38 PM

They left 16 men on base yesterday. Most for them since 1993. 90% of that was Hanley's fault. For whatever reason he was swinging out of his ass on every pitch. One of the worst approaches at the plate I have ever seen. No clue where that came from but he better not pull that shit again.

BEANTOWNJIM · 08-27-12, 01:43 PM

I KNOW SEATTLE LEADS THE LEAGUE IN SCORING ON THE ROAD BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE LINEUP

YOU HAVE TO SAY F-CK THE STATS AND BE YOUR OWN JUDGE.SEATTLES LINEUP LOOKS LIKE SHIT ITS HARD TO BET ON THEM PERIOD

BOYS WE HAVE A NICE 2200 DOLLAR CHECK ON THE WAY FROM 5 DIMES

I GRIN

WHEN I WIN

stevenash · 08-27-12, 01:46 PM

@Dodger33

Hanley gets like a starving man at an all you can eat buffet when he sees RBI's.
His eyes get big, tries to jack everything.
He's always been like that.

19th Hole · 08-27-12, 01:58 PM

BEANIEJIM

The game in Denver looks like voting in Chicago....Score early and score often.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How are things in Beantown with the Red Sox? From the west coast it looks like
Bobby v won out over the clubhouse with the front office.

El Nino · 08-27-12, 07:11 PM

You guys are also not looking at how exhausted the Twins are. Just got off a 2-8, 10 game road trip and have to turn around and face King Felix. The Twins got 2 hit by Matt freakin' Harrison in Arlington. Hendricks most likely will go 5 innings. The bullpen for the Twins is overworked and not to mention, they are botom 3 in the AL stat wise. The Twins' starting pitching has only thrown a handful of quality starts in 20 some games in August. Mauer (the only guy with success against Felix) #'s are down in August. Willingham is slumping, Morneau's #'s against Felix are bad, Span has come out and said he has a nagging collar bone injury. The Mariners are better offensively on the road and hit well. Hendrick's fastball stays around 90 and he pitches to contact. Look for Seattle to get after him and knock him out in the 4th or 5th inning.

The line is fair and hasn't swayed a whole lot. For a +140 home dog, that speaks for itself. If Sale or Weaver were at this line against the Twins everyone would be on it.
