How are Reds/Volquez ONLY -125???

Gibbz24 · Aug 5, 2008

Looking for some help here guys. I wouldve guessed the Reds wouldve been atleast -150 or more tonight with Volquez on the mound at home...but ONLY -125???

Your thoughts? It seems too obvious not to take Reds here. Am I over thinking it or is it a sucker bet? I think I might go Brewers.

because its impossible to put a finger on what they will do any game...

MILW sucks ass, they've been killing me lately. Volquez has been mediocre lately. Tough game

dont know but the -1.5 for +165 is very tempting

Knockout · Aug 5, 2008

Volquez is tiring. Look at his latest starts. His K's are going down, he's allowing more runs. This line is right.

Plus, who knows...maybe that clubhouse scuffle lights a fire under the Brewers.

I like your thoughts here about Volquez, but I dont really see how a in clubhouse scuffle could help a team. If anything it might split the team.

I still am leaning towards Brewers here though.

that combined with struggles the reds have had all season in night games and the fact that volquez is getting tired as was suggested in earlier posts all lead to reasons why the line looks too low i wouldnt touch this game period but if you forced me to pick a side i would go with brew crew for the above qouted reason

The more I am thinking about it I really am starting to get sold on Brewers.

Here's why...my first thought is that the Brewers are falling apart and the fight will hurt them. Plus, they were swept by the Cubs and just now on PTI they said the same thing.

I like the Brewers because they proably know they need to win tonight to help put out the fire. The Reds could give a shit about winning except for Ednison.

It's just speculation that it somehow allows the Brewers to get all their frustrations out in the open...they talk, they hug, they get together and all sing Kumbaya.

I here ya...I totally flip flopped...I agree

GO BREW CREW!

Wow...Kumbaya made you change your mind, huh? Interesting. I think I'll probably just take Milky TT over 4 runs. 6 of the last 7 starts that Volquez has made, the opposing team failed to score 4 only once. If you go back 10 games, the opposing team failed to score 4 only twice.

Anytime someone uses the word "kumbaya" you have to listen to them...right:nohead:

Volquez is struggling ... that is why

Dave Bush's ERA at Great American is 14.24

Taking the Reds and the Over

Knockout · Aug 5, 2008

This is why I took team total. I could care less who wins.

Knockout · Aug 5, 2008

Kumbaya! Halfway there already. Just need 2 more runs.

knucklecup · Aug 5, 2008

It's at -125 because people who don't follow the sport as hard as others will bet the house on this game seeing the Reds at home laying little juice.

Thing is, as has been mentioned in this thread, Volquez hasn't been pitching well of late.

thatoneguy · Aug 5, 2008

And apparently, Dave Bush slept at a holiday in express last night.

Rivergold · Aug 5, 2008

I said 2 weeks ago in this forum VOLQUEZ is a go against the 2nd half..and if you dont wanna go against em take the over..HE'S BURNED OUT

How are Reds/Volquez ONLY -125???
