C'mon, +180? This is too much. Cleveland with home field and two of the top five starting pitchers in the league don't have more then a 35% chance?

Please.

Call me a homer, but I'm playing the Tribe. Had a gut feel with a future on the Colts last Super Bowl. Have a feeling that the Tribe make a serious run.

Besides the obvious value I do too have a "feeling" the Tribe makes some noise this post season.

The Tribe had a hard time with the Yankees during regular season.

said it before and im sticking to it.

no team in the american league, on any field, should be more than a -120 or -130 favorite in a particular series.

these teams are incredibly even (all four of them)

all four have just as good a shot as the others to make it to the world series.

again, the yanks line baffles me because if new york is that big a favorite for the series, you mean to tell me sabathia and carmona will be home dogs? that is utterly preposterous.

caveat, of course, is that sabathia has poor career #s vs the yanks. indians absolutely must win game 1. but the yanks havent seen sabathia in 2007 and he is a completely different pitcher who is overpowering lineups right now.

the only big edge new york has in this series is the closer.

That means nothing at all. The Cavs went 2-0 against the Spurs in the regular season. Are the Cavs or Spurs NBA champs? The Indians played NY at home during their post all star slump, when they could not beat anyone and could have taken at least one against them in NY. Wedge, with first base open, pitches to A Rod who hit about 20 homeruns his last 2 games before that. Manager mistake led to that loss after A Rod knocks it out of the park to win. The Yankees are way too inconsistant, the Indians win this series.

Prod if you make any wagers on the Tribe, let me know so I can see if I match up with your play.

Like I said, I think they make a solid run. NY tag is going to be inflated every game because, well, it is the Yankees and they ended the season hot.


Good point to Ibetallsports in previous post. ^^^

I Agree Way too much value. I also like Cleveland to win it all at 9-1. Can't get away from the value here as well. Anyone know a book that has them at even bigger odds than 9-1 to win it all?

I believe the yanks couldn't beat anyone either at that time but they beat the clev 6 times outta 6 that is at least a mental edge and with the cavs and spurs comparison REALLY the spurs are a dynasty the cavs are a young bunch .......thats comparing apples and oranges of course theres value in a dog but only if it wins we shall see if the indians don't win game one it will be over quick IMO

The Yankees won game 1 against the Tigers last year and then proceeded to get their ass kicked.

and last year the indians didn't even make the playoffs so they should just be happy to be there by that reasoning BTW if you want to compare last year to this year tigers pitching is a ton better than indians and the yankees pitching is at least a lil better then last years team but Ok then............if yankees win game one it will be just like last year and they won't win another game right

No. I didn't say that. You're the one that said if the Yanks win game one it will be over quick and I was just pointing out how that wasn't the case last year. In fact, not that past results mean anything, but in the ALDS since 2000, the Crankees are 0-3 when winning the first game and 4-0 when losing the first game.

What? You believe the Yankees could not beat anyone in the beggining of the season and after the all star break? That is a huge span of time you did think the Yankees could beat anyone. Did you happen to check their record after the all star break? You know, the exact time they played the Indians during their big season slump.

Apples to oranges? No, it is showing that regular season and post season are two completely different ball games. I brought up a differnt sport but that is the only difference.

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE but when you bring up NBA example especially that example in baseball that is apples to oranges to me
