7/6 game: Philly/Pitt over 9

ppeter · Jul 6, 2005

I can't see any logical reason why this game should not go over the 9. Both pitchers, Padilla and Redman, are in horrible form, with ERA's over 8 their last 3 outings. Although Philly's offense went to sleep today against Wells, they knock the cover off lefties, and Redman is a lefty. Weather should be warm and humid in Pitts small ballpark. Philly exhausted their pen today when their starting pitcher left after just one inning.

OVER THE 9 -120 at Pinny on the overnight line! :103631605

Larry Vanover is an under umpire so far in 2005, 10-of-14 under.

2004 was a wash at 16-17 O/U.

But 2003 went under 21-of-30.

Total L3 years: 48-29 O/U.

Thanks for the info. Are you on the under? Also, can you please tell me where you get info on who is umping the games a day in advance? My problem is I can find info on the umps tendencies, but don't have info on who is umping the game until it begins.

No, I'm not on the under, just sharing info.

I agree with your thoughts on the over potential. If the umpire was neutral I'd be on the over, but I tend to shy away from those wide strike zone umpires when I'm playing the over.

You might consider playing a team total instead if you are leaning to one team offense vs. other team's pitching.
