Buchholz vs. Gabbard

Bos -170
Tex +150

The odds are terrible in this game as we haven't seen the Clay Buchholz we all thought we would have seen early on in this season to risk -170 here, but is this a game you stay away from?

Gabbard has never lost a start on that mound...

phillyd · Apr 21, 2008

Gabbard is not half bad, and the Rangers need to win once the series. ya think???

This is true.

Could be wise to take Texas with the odds in their favor, but is Gabbard really going to be able to quiet the best baseball in offense?

knucklecup · Apr 21, 2008

Yup, I said it.

The best baseball in offense

My only concern in taking the Rangers ever is that awful pen

Yup.

...we've all seen what the Red Sox do to vulnerable bullpens.

If this weekend wasn't enough, just ask the Indians... or the Yankees who had to score 15 runs to take that game out of reach.

Well it might not be the best offense with Varitek and ManRam out of the lineup. Don't forget Lowell is out also.

Lugo, Cash and Thurston might be the worst 7-8-9 hitters to suit up for the Sawx in some time.

Still, it's not enough to get me to bet on Texas today.

its good enough to take rangers at +145 first 5 though

Gabbard and Murphy were redundant in our system.

It's Beltre I'm worried about.

Gabbard has the tendency to pitch very well the first time through the order and then struggle late into games.

Expect an onslaught of Red Sox runs late into this game.

For your sake, hopefully that surge doesn't come until after the fifth, which is very possible with this Sawx line-up today.

knucklecup · Apr 21, 2008

Solid inning from Buchholz.

Now it's Gabbards turn.

knucklecup · Apr 21, 2008

over/under on how many fastballs Ortiz sees today without ManRam behind him:

2.5

knucklecup · Apr 21, 2008

I thought Broussard was going to strike out, but he fought back in the count and worked a walk.

Luckily, Buchholz escaped.

CAP-IT-OFF · Apr 21, 2008

Basesloaded and no runs. Dam Texas lineup is weaksauce...
