Halladay opens @ -165 vs SFO

[Tron]

Jello used to call me a conspiracy theorist and he hated when I called an opener fishy.


Well, this another one of those head scratchers. Halladay -165 @ SFO (Sanchez)


I'd like to hear some input from our resident sharps and conspiracy theorists alike on this game.

PHI RL is getting pounded.

I love SFO +1.5 (-120)


Am I barking up the wrong tree?

 

[Bread]

When are these Halladay -400 lines supposed to start up?? :

 

[Tron]

Line may not be as fishy as I first suspected.

Halladay's WHIP is 0.88 but Sanchez's is a sparkly 0.98


I still feel the line should have opened in the 180 range.

Curious to hear some of your guys thoughts.

 

[Tron]

Halladay at home vs a PITT or a BAL toward the end of the season could very easily hit -375 at closing so I agree with MonkeyFO in that regard.


I still think this line smells and I still like SFO RL

Dafty, -120 SF RL might be a play. Love Halladay but will Sanchez shut down Phils too? Phils bullpen sucks right now. Giants pen has been great. Could be 3-2. 2-1 game either way. As much as I love the Phils, a -120 RL looks so enticing.

I like Halladay in that situation. Sanchez has been pitching over his head. So has Halladay to some extent but if they both revert to their career norms, Halladay kicks his ass. And of course if they both continue pitching like they have been, Halladay still has the edge. He has been incredible.

Philly ML, I say.

 

[Fu Manchu]

GL guys. not touching this one.

 

[Mudcat]

Philly currently available at -147 at Matchbook.

 

[MrX]

I like the SFO ML a little bit.

I like the SFO ML a little bit.

Would you care to vote in the GLPOTD thread?

 

[MrX]

I don't vote for anything I can't pronounce.

 

[MrMonkey]

I don't vote for anything I can't pronounce.

Didn't know you brought up in the woods too? Only thought you camped out occasionally? Can you let the person who wears the pants in the family, MrsX, gives us a vote then? Thank you kindly!

 

[Tron]

I appreciate everyones input in this thread. I see a 2-1 PHI win.

 

[fiveteamer]

Bengie Molina bats cleanup for the Giants.

LOL @ that

 

[Tron]

3 teams in the National League have a better record than SFO despite Bengie Molina


Sandoval (1.016 OPS)

Uribe (.856 OPS) and

Schierholtz (.917 OPS) are keeping them in games

 

[Vegas Dave]

Jonathan Sanchez has been pitching lights out, as strong as any ace in the league. He's been on the verge for years, maybe this is his breakout year?

Bullpens:

San Fran: 2.86 ERA, 1.31 WHIP
Philly: 4.20 ERA, 1.46 WHIP

Not that bullpens usually factor in to Halladay games, but the line doesn't seem THAT far off.

 

[Cougar Bait]

Took the Phillies. Up 68 units so far in MLB this year.

I for some reason can not pick 1 game, but I do well when I pick 8-10 a day.

 

[Bread]

Nice record there Cougs
