So the AL is -120 tonight

[Tron]

Even though they've won the last 400 All Star games.

Anyone else find this intriguing?

Anyone watching the game?

Price starts vs Jimenez

 

[MrMonkey]

Rooting for the NL but the starting lineup looks better for the AL and can't bet the NL.

Might sound abstract, but anyone's thoughts on whether Price or Jimmy throws more pitches in 1st inning?

 

[Mudcat]

I am feeling an itch to put a rec bet on the AL.

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

Under for me.

 

[Tron]

I always root for the NL MrMonkey.

I could see both guys getting banged around a little in the 1st inning.

 

[Fu Manchu]

small play on AL here i think

 

[Saulty]

NL pitching will shut out the AL. You have Jimenez, Johnson, Wainright, Halladay, Carpenter, Hudson, etc..

How is AL going to get a hit with this monstrous starting pitching?

 

[Tron]

The same way they did last year?

with so many pitchers going, it seems like over would be the play..... all it takes is 1 or 2 pitchers to be off their game (against the very best of best hitters) and you can have an over....


with 12-18 pitchers going out there combined... there are bound to be a few that aren't too sharp, and aren't taking the game too serious...


in recent years the scores have been lower, so my theory doesn't hold all the much water.... but if I was gonna make a play, it would be on that..

plus the fact that alot of these top pitchers are pitching shitty as of late... Jimenez has been downright pedestrian

Archer, I was thinking along the same lines as you. While I'm not betting on the game at all I did enter the free contest at Heritage Sports and my picks were all about runs, so a high scoring game with a few homers will put me in good position contest wise.

 

[Tron]

Jimenez's WHIP has been moving north for a few starts now.

Good post Arch

 

[Tron]

2 outs away

 

[Fu Manchu]

all the squares got chucked. including moi.

 

[Tron]

I guess I can't count this as the 10 game losing streak breaker because I never actually posted "NL" but I was glad to see this final (both as a fan and as a bettor)

 

[roguejuror]

no guey is doesn't count

 

[Tron]

I agree. Although my post does imply that the NL is the play.

But yeah I agree.
