Been terrible this post season. 3 terrible beats on one pitch last night in the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs.

5-8 and way down in units.

A's -127 (3 units) - Pinnacle
Yankees total OVER 4.5 -120 (2 units) - Beteurosport

No one will complain. You've earned more brownie points over the past month than a small glitch can erase. Keep on pluggin'!!!

 

[mgk222]

that "yankees over 4.5"is that for the 1st 5 innings or the yankees total runs,thanx

 

[MadCapper]

arnie's army - Thanx. I appreciate that. I think I will turn it around today. I just had to fess up. I do not want to be known as a gloater. I lost...I fessed up.

mgk22 - Yankees team total. I thik the Yankees will hit Radke tonight. Early and often.

[MadCapper]

Pinnacle has the A's at -127 now. I know Zito hasnt pitched as a CY Young this season. But at home? Against Wakefield? Why is this line only -127?

Either way, you gotta like Zito at home at that price.

Im with you MC - with both teams coming off a long game last night, Zito (fresh) should be a damn good play. Oakland should have some confidence as well. I laid it too.

 

[MadCapper]

Blown Head Gasket - Lets hope we turn things around today!

MC, i can't seem to get a grip on this game at all personaly i mean after last night heartbreaker of a loss what boston team will show up for this game

 

[NEWPORT]

all do REPSPECT MC...

But the line is like that because the Redsox have the # 1 & 2 batting leaders on their roster, and the #1 batting leader bats 7th...And their HR and RBI totals are unbelievable this year

I hear you loud and clear,though, on the Wakefield argument

 

[bigboydan]

here are the last 2 meeting between these teams where both of these pitchers pitched in

8/14/2003 OAK 2 - BOS 4 x T.Lilly T.Wakefield -105/9U

8/12/2003 OAK 5 - BOS 3 B.Zito J.Burkett 130/8.5 U

the last 3 games these 2 teams have played have gone over the total while oakland won the season series 4-3 (not counting last nights game at all.

 

[MadCapper]

This is the cheapest you will ever get Zito at home against a non 1st tier pitcher.

Grab it.

-MC

 

[NEWPORT]

the same argument could be stated that "this is the best price you won't have to pay for a TEAM that has the best betting numbers in the American Leauge" and record setting at that

You are the MLB man MC, but I am against you on this one"

 

[MadCapper]

NEWPORT - Right now I am definately NOT the man. Wakefield can be good or terrible. Zito has a better chance to be good. A's are at home. Boston under tons of pressure to win this one, knowing Lowe pitched 42 pitches last night. They have pressure and Zito going against them. At this low price, Zito looks good.

MC- You had a hall of fame season and just hit a little bump in the road during th playoffs. I'm sure that you'll bounce back as there's lot's of playoffs left to be played. GL

 

[bigboydan]

MC, i can't dispute that at all MC zito looks like the bet here wakefeild has alot of postseason experiance too and thats why i have to pass this game.

 

[MadCapper]

raiders - Thanx. I certainly hope you are right. I really need Zito to pull through for us today.

bigboydan - I would have passed if Zito was -140 and higher. I can't pass this up.

-MC

 

[bigboydan]

MC, i wish you well on this play

BTW, would you take the over or under in this game ?

 

[MadCapper]

Adding:

A's -118 (2nd half of game) (2 units) - Beteurosport

bigboydan - too hard to call. All depends on Wakefield.

-MC

 

[MadCapper]

Wakefield has not fared well in ALDS play, going 0-2 with a 15.58 ERA in four career appearances, including two starts.

Zito is 2-1 with a 2.29 ERA in three career ALDS starts. He is 3-2 with a 3.27 ERA in six career starts against Boston.

MC--I'm with you on Oakland. But I did not post it as a pick. We have to stop the baseball jinx. Good luck.
