Boston A Home Dog?? -- This Is Why

ROY HALLADAY vs PAUL BYRD

It's because HALLADAY is pitching. But is that a good reason to make Toronto a favorite at Boston.

NO AND THIS IS WHY

Halladay has not been the same after the trading deadline and he is still stuck in Toronto. His last two starts he gave up 6 Earned Runs in 7 innings and 4 Earned runs in 5 innings. This is after he went 78 starts in a row giving up less than 5 earned runs. I agree, Byrd is an unknown coming up after two decent rehab starts in AAA. You might want to put a small play on the over, but regardless

PLAY BOSTON +126

PS: Toronto has lost 7 straight at Boston. sorry this is so last but it's still morning out here in Calif. Game starts in 10 minutes.

this kind of reasoning is why alot of people will find themselves on the wrong side of a ticket


1. paul Byrd? never bet a guy fresh off the dl, let alone an average guy

2. Halladay doesnt have to be perfect, the jays lineup will put up 4+ vs byrd.......he is still roy halladay.....and this is the same bosox lineup that has been very inconsistent this year

I actually would feel stronger about Boston if they were favored and not dogs.

Zeak Taylor is so sure anyone playing against Halladay will lose, he just had to come into my thread and warn everyone that following my reasoning will put you on the wrong side of your ticket. He also wants you to know that it doesn't matter what Halladay has done lately, even after being "pissed" he wasn't traded to a contender, he is still Roy Halladay. So everyone, thank Zeke for telling you the Toronto's pitchers name is still Roy Halliday and that's why my Boston play will lose.

So far it looks like most of the posts here knew better than to listen to Zeke Taylor and agreed with me and played Boston.

UPDATE. END 6th, BOSTON 4 TORONTO 0.

Just because the outcome of the game didn't turn out his way, doesn't make his analysis wrong. The oddsmakers aren't stupid, they don't just throw out a dog line on Sox at home to donate to down gamblers on the week trying to get unstuck.


I'm not saying you were wrong either, I agree Holladay hasn't been the same since the trade fiasco, and my money might have been on Sox if I had made a move.

On a separate note,

I see the tendency in a lot in people on this board and the average gambler in general to jump at Sox or Yanks at home when they are anything better than -200. which really isn't sound in the long run. Squares are defined as betters who like to bet favorites. They got that name for a reason.

good call regardless which was never in doubt
