Betting against Giants in every game til May 4th thread.. 13 games total.

I'm going to fade the Giants in every game til May 4th. This is a 13 game span and I wouldn't be surprised if they end up 4-9 in this span. Some might remember me doing this last season with the Dodgers and Giants..


Here is their schedule:

FIRST PLAY: 4/21

0.83* Arizona -1 (-120)

Yeah I know I already posted this in my other friend. Sorry

You might just fade the Dodgers the rest of the season-THEY STINK.

Good Start

1-0 +0.83 Units

Undecided about how I'm going to wager on the D'backs tomorrow.

Giants Totals 7.5-7 are 1-6 O/U this year. Maybe something to fade now the offense is somewhat kicking.

Lots of new guys on this team. Different lineups everynight. Typical team management, and it should continue most of the season. May want to avoid Lincecum games if he up against a 4th or 5th.

When Lincecum pitches unit size will decrease for sure.. Probably a half unit.. I respect that kid a lot and would never wager good money against him..

Not going to flat bet this, going to be accordingly.. Would love your thoughts on games considering you are from the area and know the team well. I follow NL West pretty closely, have a pretty good feel for it.

I would safely say that you will end up with +$$ a the end of the 13 games.

I like the over 7.5 in tomorrow's game as the weather should be pretty hot (80-85 degrees) in phoenix tomorrow at first pitch and if they keep the roof open like they did tonight, the ball should be jumping. I also wouldn't be surprised to see Az touch up B Zito for 5 in the first 4 innings.

good luck with this

albert einstein aint got SHIT on you.

Thanks, that would be great. I can't see the Giants lineup having much success against Webb. Hopefully Zito doesn't have a great performance as well..

Here is something a guy from another forum put together about this game.....

League Rankings -

Batting Average:
5th) Diamondbacks .278
25th) Giants .241

Runs:
1st) Diamondbacks 116
30th) Giants 61

Home Runs:
3rd) Diamondbacks 25
28th) Giants 9

And did I mention that one of the league's top 5 pitchers in Brandon Webb (4 - 0, 1.86 ERA, 0.79 WHIP, 22 Ks) was facing Barry Zito (0 - 4, 4.50 ERA, 1.68 WHIP, 8 Ks)?

Here are their '06 and '07 stats just for fun...

2006:
Zito 221.0 IP / 3.83 ERA / 1.40 WHIP / 151 Ks
Webb 235.0 IP / 3.10 ERA / 1.13 WHIP / 178 Ks

2007:
Zito 196.2 / 4.53 / 1.35 / 131
Webb 236.1 / 3.01 / 1.19 / 194

Diamondbacks are 7 - 2 at home
Giants are 3 - 6 on the road

Here is what I decided to do.

4/22:

1.5*ML Parlay (-153)
D'Backs ML
Pistons ML (NBA WED)


I don't know why but the RL scares me for some reason. I'd be floored if the Pistons lost two in a row at home to the Sixers..

That was Nice!

Good Luck with your play Gyno, as I wouldn't have laid the -260/250ish price on Webb either.

hahahah fade

I like your thinking Gyne

Thanks for the responses...

Something told me to stay away from the RL.. Well if the Pistons win tomorrow we'll be

2-0 +2.33 Units

Definitely going to wager on the Padres via ML tomorrow. Not sure about the amount quite yet. Suggestions are always welcomed.

Very good call to parlay with DET. Best bet tommorrow.

I just posted even before I read this how I go against the Giants as much as possible, so obviously I like you thinking.

Giants bats have been alright in the past few games. and when Zito pitches again(0-4) i think hes going to win....everyone has to win. so be careful my man

Giants get no love from the betting public. They are bad, but they are loaded up against every night, no matter what the pitching matchup is or who the opponent is. Tonight Maddux faces Cain, and Cain has been lights out against SD and in that ballpark. SD offense struggling, and lately has been just as bad as SF if not worse.

The Giants are 8-13, but Washington, Cincinnati, Houston, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles and San Diego are all within one game of their record. But they do not get loaded up against every night. Confusing to say the least.

Also, not sure why you would take Cincinnati blindly against them in SF. Not logical at all.

HW

Cain doesn't get any run support, it was probably the worst in the majors last year. Why that is I don't know? I'd be betting scared money until I see more of him and the giants bats, SD/SF can play some lowscorers.
