"Thanks Zeke.....
I looked at this game in depth, some of your points are a bit off the mark here....."
myers isnt facing nolasco, hes facing the marlins righties, who are facing him.
Nolasco is facing the phils hitters, who are predominantly lefthanded, this was my point....so comparing the 2 starters WHIPS, means nothing to me.
Myers gave up 3 hits to the mets, in 8 innings....change that stat anyway u like....u said hed crack under pressure today at home as a -144 fave.....i simply pointed out, this game is nothing pressure wise compared to what hefaced lastfriday. hes gone deep into many of his games recently so i guess if u go back 3 starts, 23 hits is possible. How many runs did he give up in those games?
Are dallas macpherson and paul lodcua the infrequently playing bench players u hoped tos ee in this game? And do u honestly think after yesterdays 18 run game, that your have an advantage on the road with the worse bullpen of the 2? And yes, your closer is a righty, and so is the phillies. Problem is, phils have 5-6 guys that can crush gregg in the late innings, and hes wild. Lidge is lights out, and hes got righty/righty advanatage.
Im all for playing a hunch, but dont try and make it seem like the line is off, or myers is gonna choke. Its possible, but its just as possible in any other game, today is no different.
And my comment about public money was, i had no idea where the moneyw as, and i handt checked...i figured philly was, but never confirmed....60 % doesnt seem overwhelmin backing, when u consider a -140 fave should win more often than not.
