Is Pinnacle taking a side on this prop bet tonight??

Sun 6/26 Which team's BATTERS will have more strikeouts
05:05 PM

307 Team that wins game +0.5strikeouts +149
308 Team that loses game -0.5strikeouts -165

I'm sure i'm off on this, but who do you think Pinnacle likes in this game tonight?

Benson K's per 9 innings is around 5 while Johnson is over 8 k's per 9.

This bet is senseless

Bet the dog and hope for the best. you dont even know who you're rooting for until the game is over.

You better reread the question.

I'm not betting it. Just curious. The numbers seem sided considering the Yanks are -219.

I know it's "batters".

if you are pretty sure both RJ will lead the yankees pitching to more K's and the yanks will lose; bet the dog, but then you would just bet the Mets at more + money anyways. thats why it makes no sense to me.

The only way it would make sense to me is if you had good team and stadium info. like losing team at yankee stadium lead in strike outs 9/10 games or in mets games winning team lead in strikeouts 5 of last 7 etc etc

RobFunk · Jun 26, 2005

But youre right Tony, the numbers seem to favor the Mets winning

benson strikeout ratio the last 6 games for has been way below average

maybe the wifey:hump: will give him some motivation tonight:hump:

Here's what I'm getting at. The people who bet the Yanks tonight are counting that RJ is going to pitch well, more then the fact the Yanks out hit the Mets. You really have to like RJ to lay 219 with they way they're playing.

So isn't Pinnacle trying to get money with the favorite with this line???

I agree with you Tony. Thats what it seems like to me also, now that youve expressed what youre thinking. The other thing is if the yanks win, they have 3 less outs they can strike out with. that may account for the discrepancy
