Detroit Tigers
J. Verlander +121
Same reason I liked Wakefield as a dog last start I don't mind betting against him as a chalk, this guy is chaos theory in the flesh. Verlander + odds is another thing to look at. I think the Tigers can bounce back after their Dice K-ing last night.
Got a feeling you are correct. I think Detroit is the right side tonight.
Found this elsewhere (Statfox - Oskiem) on Detroit/Boston: - just offering food for thought..._____________________________________________________________________________
Boston Red Sox (-129) over Detroit Tigers*
*Action
Boston is a profitable 12-5 at home this season where they are batting .305 (.391 obp) and scoring 6.6 runs per game. Moreover, Boston is 16-8 at night (.364 obp), 19-8 against right-handed pitching (.351 obp) and have won 6 of their last 7 games (.333 avg./.412 obp/7.9 rpg).
Meanwhile, Boston's bullpen has been excellent this season as evidenced by its 2.34 ERA and 1.219 WHIP. Tim Wakefield has been outstanding as well as he has put together a 1.79 ERA and 1.103 WHIP this season, while posting a 1.40 ERA and 1.086 WHIP over his last three starts.
Finally, the last time Justin Verlander traveled to Boston, he was shelled for 5 earned runs and 6 hits over 6 innings of work........

It's lines like the bolded above which confuse the general consensus into thinking teams like the Sox and Yanks are good bets.
Just because they have a good record doesn't make them a good bet. What if Boston was lined at -300 in each home game? 12-5 would be far from profitable. I'm giving an extreme example, but why wouldn't Statfox or Covers just put up how any units the Sox have made bettors this year at home. It would give the general bettor a better sense of how good the Red Sox are against the number. I think Maine is a cheap price at home against Zambrano. I like Maine, always have. Plus, much better team in the NY Mets. Rockies and White Sox look attractive too.
WTF are you talking about?The last I checked the Yankee's are below .500
MP =
Moron, I understand the Yankees are below .500. We are looking at the past 10 yrs here and analyzing the situation. I hate the Yanks, I'm a big Red Sox fan, but the Yankees will get back on track once their pitching comes around. Please don't respond to any of my posts, seriously. You bring nothing to the table.
Everyday you say you played for example:
Marlins
Braves
Yankees
I'm making up the plays by the way - without giving the prices. You can't NOT list the prices, that's beyond belief. You mine as well have posted you played the Pistons tonight. Then after the game said you played them +20. Same thing, who the heck knows.
Baseball is so far and away from simply picking the winners it's unbelievable. Like Guru said, I thought someone said he'd never post here again (me). Sorry I got back involved...seriously. Sometimes it's so easy here picking on people it hurts.

First of all Mr I talk #### but keep my $ in my pocket, why do I need to post prices (which I do when I have them locked), especially when I say I am leaning and have yet to actually check the line?
You seem to think because you number crunch, provide number theories and predict line movement you are bringing something to the table and I am not?

This is as amusing as it gets.....
at the end of the day EVERY bet we place is a flip of the coin 50-50, is it not? We can talk value, right side, trends, etc but you either win or lose, I keep it simple.
I think I went 2-0 in the MLB yesterday, what did you offer?
Dude just #### or go ahead and put your $ where your mouth is. Your a clown MP, you talk #### but you keep your $ in your pocket.......When you take big hits or add to your stack then come talk too me. Until then your like that little kid in the schoolyard that barks all day and when it is time to step up you run back to class.........
I take shots but at the end of the day
I MAKE
