Olly Perez at -310?

GreenDoberman · Aug 24, 2004

Line has moved from -260 up 50 cents. I know the D'backs are horrible and the pitching MU looks like a complete mismatch. But the Pirates are rather mediocre and Perez despite his K totals has a rather pedestrian win-loss ledger. It's certainly too steep to back the Bucs, but is it worth a shot at the Snakes at this price?

Ollie may strike out 15 tonight -

and he would probably have 15 wins on a contending team.

I of course am biased. You are right however, that is unbelievable value. The Bucs have split 4 games with Arizona this season.

I couldn't believe the Bucs were 170 or so favorites last night with a rookie with a 9.00 ERA going.

Jacks - I agree. That line surprised me more than this one. Especially because Fossum just beat them last week. D-Backs getting no love.

I trust Perez more then I trust the Pirates.....so I'm not taking the money line...but I am taking Perez to strike out more then 8 (+105)---and I took the Pirates 1h -1/2 at -(165)

I would think Perez would last 5 innings, and they would have the lead.

Fossum is not pitching tonight. Gonzalez is and he is awful.

Bookmakers are tired of people blindly fading Zona and mopping up. The lines will go higher in September.

Gonzalez is terrible, he should give atleast 7 runs before he gets the hook.
