I cannot say that I can ever remember a -350 favorite in a major league baseball game. Especially a -350 favorite who played a 17-inning game the day before. I may bet the Reds just out of principle...the Dodgers just literally played 2 entire games on Sunday...I don't care how bad a team is and who the pitcher being faced is...-350 in this sport is insanity.
 
Colon has pitched on
5 days and got pounded by Washington
Before 4 days 5 runs
before 4 days 3 run at Padres
He is playing on 4 days rest away at Washington at night
Gio on 4 2.41 ERA about 37 innings
Colon 5.60 on 17.2
So far night and day are equal but his ERA away is 4.81
History is not bad

But at 43 I start out thinking he is in trouble
 
I dont recollect a favorite this high this early in the season. I remember Kersh, Maddux & Pedro with 400 lines but almost always late in the season.

What are your feelings on these series???

I liked the Nats but -$175 seems tough, Royals look solid -$140 Cards +$125 just not enough White Sox a tad high also
Nats do look high. They have a decided edge tomorrow with the way Harvey has been but the Mets have the edge in game three with Matz/Roark. Personally I can't trust Gonzalez over Colon at that price and if you do like Gio you can just bet him today at almost 30c cheaper.

Other than Sale tomorrow it's the White Sox flotsam vs the Indians jetsam. Pass.

Pass on KC laying a price on the road too with Kennedy/Volquez/Gee, three mediocre NL refugees vs Nolasco/Santana/Duffey. You should be able to buy all three in that series at considerably less than -140 if you like KC.

Philly at +125 has some value imo with Velasquez favored over Pelfry today, Hellickson vs a not what he once was Verlander tomorrow and Nola/Annabelle Sanchez and his 5.48 FIP on Wednesday.
 
The Nats will be favored in game 3 with Roark at home, but it probably won't be by much. They are also the best hitting team in the NL vs. lefties. Why would you not trust Gio over Colon? I think it is lined fair.

I don't play a lot of series, but the Rangers look a hair cheap and Seattle seems decent value.
 
Regarding Washington vs Miami---I want Washington first 5 but no bet till umps. This game may be very hard fought
 
Thanks

+300 or higher on the reds, all day every day. classic example of betting a number not the team, but whatever, just too high.

pads/giants under 6.5 looks good

Oakland/Seattle under 7 too

rockies/pirates over looks great but in a game that was supposed to be yesterday, players may be in the "get in and get out" mindset...both pitchers stink though
 
You can bet the value with the Reds if you wish but it's foolish. The line is right. By far the best pitcher in the game right now vs a scrub with the shittiest BP in the league.
 
You can bet the value with the Reds if you wish but it's foolish.

I disagree 100% with you on this one, NBAfan. It is baseball...it's not the Warriors playing the Lakers where the ML is -1800 and it is a guaranteed victory. The worst teams win 37% of their games in 100-loss seasons...if I can get +300, I'm playing it...I'm not mortgaging the rent on it, but I will hit it for a small play.
 
You don't have to bet on the Dodgers. But betting on the Reds is just foolish. I'm not a value bettor in any sport though. Everything being equal if they played this game 100 times the Reds would not win 30 times IMO.

We can agree to disagree on this one. The Dodgers have the best pitcher in the world right now, nobody will argue. But Cincy is by no chance the worst team in the sport and LAD just played a 17-inning game to where their entire bullpen was used. There are going to be plenty of people betting Kersh tonight as I saw the number at my book open at -350 and just hit -395...but I will gladly disagree in THIS SPOT, Cincy wins more than 30 times out of a 100.

But these disagreements, viewpoints are what the discussion threads interesting. Everyone has a different take. Capping this sport is unique in that everyone (in my opinion) does it pretty differently to their own style.
 
There's a legitimate chance the Dodgers might not score in at least 25 of those hypothetical games

Where's the 'value' if you don't give them a legitimate shot at winning though? Betting a number as opposed to betting reality is a pretty slippery slope...

It may be foolish, but I also agree with Scarf (and others).

If if you're getting +300 on the Reds, they'd only need to win 25 out of 100 to break even, but you may be right that they may not even do that against Kershaw in 100 games. It's certainly possible though with bullpens and the Dodgers offense as other factors...

Good point, and it can be a slippery slope...but this scenario doesn't come around that often, so it may be worth a shot for some.

I think the best pitcher is Sale
 
Like what I saw from Clevinger in his first outing. And Latos is giving up about 1 run per inning over his last 4 starts. I like CLEV in the 5pm game for sure.

But, the worse teams win 37% against the "average" major league team, they don't win 37% against the Dodgers with Kershaw on the hill. The Reds team play the Dodgers team with Kershaw may not win 40 games in a year. Personally, I have it lined at Dodgers -325.
 
Kershaw has 88 K to 4 walk ratio and has given up only 3 homers this year.

Sale has 62 k to 10 walks and has given up 5 homers this year.

You have to adjust for league and ballpark, but there is no one I would take over Kershaw. The difference is Kershaw walks less guys and gets more grounders.
 
between every single possibility:

Kershaw doesnt feel well and cant go
Kershaw goes and it rains in the 2nd inning and he doesnt come back out or he does comeback out rusty
kershaw dominates but loses 2-1
kershaw pitches well but pen blows it
kershaw has a night where he just doestn have his stuff and gives up 4

those things combine, in my opinion, equal a higher than 30% Chance of Cincy Winning. Dodgers arent even at .500 as a team yet no? Baseball is more than one pitcher

There is still a team aspect of it for sure. The Dodgers position players have a 5.6 WAR on the season, the Reds are at 0.3. The Dodgers as a team are way better than the Reds before adjusting for the pitching advantage.

Just double checking my numbers, but Nate Silver gives the Reds a 24% chance of winning tonight. Fangraphs give the Reds a 23.6% chance. The "Kershaw not feeling well" is why the number gets up to 24%.
 
Anyone else wondering about Philadelphia today?
Detroit has a poor pitcher. They have also won 6 of last 7.
Vincent in his last 3 road games has gone 18 innings and given up 11 runs
He has not been good on 5 and is much better in the day
Detroit vs righties averages about 4and 2/3rds runs
Philadelphia slightly less than 2.5 runs

between every single possibility:

Kershaw doesnt feel well and cant go
Kershaw goes and it rains in the 2nd inning and he doesnt come back out or he does comeback out rusty
kershaw dominates but loses 2-1
kershaw pitches well but pen blows it
kershaw has a night where he just doestn have his stuff and gives up 4

those things combine, in my opinion, equal a higher than 30% Chance of Cincy Winning. Dodgers arent even at .500 as a team yet no? Baseball is more than one pitcher
Ok, well, not to quibble over semantics, but if Kershaw doesn't go, you won't be getting +300 anymore. And when's the last time you had a rain delay in LA?

Besides, you're laying all this on Kershaw's shoulders. You also need Brandon Finnegan to pitch at a high level (which there's very little to suggest he will), a team that's 3-14 on the road to come up big against one of the elite pitchers in the league, the lowest scoring team on the road this season to produce, etc...

I'd say the better 'value' (if there's any to be had), would be on the RL, as I think we've all been around long enough to see these slam dunk type games be anything but...

Either way, I won't be betting it, so good luck to all Reds backers tonight.
 
Anyone else wondering about Philadelphia today?
Detroit has a poor pitcher. They have also won 6 of last 7.
Vincent in his last 3 road games has gone 18 innings and given up 11 runs
He has not been good on 5 and is much better in the day

as you know because i never shut the fuck up about it, im a philly guy. this team has been super fun this year and real likable. but nobody in the city thinks they are going to sustain a good record. they just.cant.hit. so we are trying to enjoy this early season success while it lasts, but unless somethign drastically changes in their offense, they are going to go lose a lot more very soon. now may be the time to fade. if you told me before the year the phillies would be a road favorite at all this entire year i would had called BS
 
There is still a team aspect of it for sure. The Dodgers position players have a 5.6 WAR on the season, the Reds are at 0.3. The Dodgers as a team are way better than the Reds before adjusting for the pitching advantage.

Just double checking my numbers, but Nate Silver gives the Reds a 24% chance of winning tonight. Fangraphs give the Reds a 23.6% chance. The "Kershaw not feeling well" is why the number gets up to 24%.

Well Nate Silver is correct based simply on the odds. At +300 they would need to win 1 out of 4 games to break even...which would equate to having a 25% chance to win. If the odds are now a little bit over +300 his numbers are dead nuts on. Did he give them that chance before the line was out, or was he just backtracking the line into the odds for CIN to win? Doesn't matter either way, just curious.
 
But, the worse teams win 37% against the "average" major league team, they don't win 37% against the Dodgers with Kershaw on the hill. The Reds team play the Dodgers team with Kershaw may not win 40 games in a year. Personally, I have it lined at Dodgers -325.

This. I was thinking this earlier but didn't know how to word it. This exactly.
 
Cubs 2-4 on current roady and only scored over 3 once in last 7
Waino a bit sub par for him but still quite profitable on year

[TD="width: 100%, bgcolor: #F6F6F6"] Cubs/Cards 5-23-16 just a spot play here, the Cubs off Sunday night, then travel to a big rival, who has been home & off a whipping the day before. Lackey is 2-13 against the money line in road games after giving up 1 or less earned runs last outing over the last 3 seasons, while Wainwright has gone 78-34 on the ML after a loss....

Cardinals -104

The Nats will be favored in game 3 with Roark at home, but it probably won't be by much. They are also the best hitting team in the NL vs. lefties. Why would you not trust Gio over Colon? I think it is lined fair.

I don't play a lot of series, but the Rangers look a hair cheap and Seattle seems decent value.
I would say so for today too but the series was almost 30c higher at the time.

Seattle I liked but I'm not much for laying -180. Didn't look at the Rangers.
 
I cannot say that I can ever remember a -350 favorite in a major league baseball game. Especially a -350 favorite who played a 17-inning game the day before. I may bet the Reds just out of principle...the Dodgers just literally played 2 entire games on Sunday...I don't care how bad a team is and who the pitcher being faced is...-350 in this sport is insanity.

back in 98 when the yanks had that super team we saw a lot of wicked high games
