WHat about the Over in the WHite Sox games. Garland is due to be shelled...he alternates good and bad starts....

Masonh and DooDah, I apologize for not responding to your questions but i was out for the evening. I was trying to cover myself on the CWS game because i had the feeling that they might lose but i was willing to go with the +1.5. Good Luck on Thursday!!!!!

Thanks for the reply.I have little to no experience betting run lines and had a question.I would assume betting the road team +1.5 would give a little edge since so many home teams win by 1.What is your advice on playing the run lines.Thanks.

Masonh, I like the -RL when the team has been playing well. I look at the pitching match-up, strength of the bullpen, incentive for the win, take a look at the trends and i do favor the team being at home but not neccessarily. After all of that, you're only guessing but at least you've made an educated bet. Take a look at my Thurday post with Houston. I will admit that it is not a strong play because i do not like the pitching match-up but i do like the way Houston has been playing. Lots of trends to consider in that game. I'm going to give it to Houston to close out a 4 game sweep and hope that their bats can get the job done.. Good Luck!!!!!
