[CollegePro]

usa -3..do you guys think they will cover?? anyone know who is going on mound today for usa?

Roy Oswalt for the USA

VandenHurk for the Dutch????

 

[CollegePro]

what do you think artie?? usa cover -3??

 

[artiesliver]

Not sure, trying to find an angle that I like so I have some action on the game, but can't figure it out. After last night's lack of offense, I wonder if the US bats can come alive. Oswalt is good enough to hold them to a couple of runs, so the Under 7.5 is probably better than -3. This way if the USA wins 4-2 or 5-2, you still win.

i am looking at their line up right now... just by looking at them, it looks like usa's bats will explode today. but i am sure it was same for yday

Over 7.5 should be good. USA was embarassed vs Puerto Rico. They'll be out to prove a point.

I took Netherlands +3. I bet Oswald lays an egg & the USA bats without chipper & pedroia end up letting down.

 

[jdub6810]

seriously oswalt, who wasnt himself last year, & pitching in march, & laying a -900 ML on him, or -3 runs, i mean thats the most insane bet ive ever heard.

i thought it was double elimanation how netherlands and others with 2 loses still playing

 

[limestonesaint]

double elimination per round my friend

 

[colbyson]

[Ironman_8]

yeah they lost 2 times in the first round jackass

The second time both Netherlands and USA lost in the first round (Pool D and C respectfully), it was for the pool championship so it really didnt mean anything as far as them moving on.
