Non of this really matters. I am not a big statistical type of guy. You can skew anything to make it look a certain way. For every negative you say about Texas, I can give you one about Detroit.

Tigers are 2-5 in their last 7 home games with the total set at 9.0-10.5.
Tigers are 2-5 in their last 7 games as a favorite.
Tigers are 4-10 in their last 14 games vs. a right-handed starter.
Tigers are 5-13 in their last 18 overall.
Tigers are 5-13 in their last 18 games on grass.
Tigers are 3-8 in their last 11 games as an underdog.
Tigers are 3-8 in their last 11 vs. American League West.
Tigers are 3-11 in their last 14 games with the total set at 9.0-10.5.
Tigers are 1-4 in their last 5 after scoring 5 runs or more in their previous game.
Tigers are 1-5 in their last 6 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15.
Tigers are 0-5 in their last 5 during game 3 of a series.
Tigers are 0-4 in their last 4 games following a win.

So what? Non of this matters just like your stuff.
Whoever wins this game ... it had nothing to do with Bush or those stats.

1* Philadelphia Phillies -180

TheBoys · Apr 13, 2011

OK..........didn't post it to start an argument. BUT, Texas does not platy well in Detroit, I don't know why, they just don't, look it up. Good luck picking winners.

Roy Halladay will shine tonight!! Good Pick, was already on this one!

Mike82280 · Apr 13, 2011

hey jbragg what book do you use? im looking for a good one with quick payouts

PhillyMan · Apr 13, 2011

I was thinking about this all day. Remember back in Greg Maddux's prime. Laying only -$180 was a gift, it was rare to see less then -230 on the road. Halladay is the best pitcher in baseball hands down and only -$180 aganist a team without their best player. To me this is a must bet. GL

jbragg10 · Apr 13, 2011

TheBoys: I wasn't trying to argue ... just letting you know I don't use those type of numbers. Sorry if it came out bad.

TimesYours: Let's hope so ... that is a lot of juice.

Mike82280: I use a local, but many of my friends use betjam and they love it.

PhillyMan: Let's hope so.

I might play the Diamondbacks as well tonight. I will post (if it is a play) by 9:15 or so.

No question Doc will do his job, but will the Philly offense give him the run support he needs. I also like Philly tonight I am just leary of this Philly offense.

Good luck tonight jbragg

jbragg10 · Apr 13, 2011

Adding last play of the evening:
1* Arizona Diamondbacks -125

jbragg10 · Apr 13, 2011

1* Texas Rangers +125 LOSS
1* Philadelphia Phillies -180 WIN
1* Arizona Dbacks -125

1-1 with DBacks pending

TimesYours · Apr 13, 2011

Yo Jay, Halladay went 9, wasn't pretty but he really beared down and struck out Matt Stairs and Pudge looking to end the game! I need NYY to wrap up a 2 game parlay for a little whip cream topping!!

jbragg10 · Apr 13, 2011

^ yea ... I was actually glad they left Halladay in. I would rather have him in there (even with his pitch count high) than any of those other guys.

TimesYours · Apr 13, 2011

Lee tomorrow, need him to win the series for me. I knew I was gonna lose with Blanton but liked my odds with Halladay a Lee. Keep your eye on Oswalt, he's been pitching very well so far (2-0) and Hamels pitched his best game last game in about a year. Damn this team is gonna be fun to watch!!

jbragg10 · Apr 13, 2011

^ I have Holladay and Oswalt on my fantasy team. Oswalt is my worst pitcher on my team (tells you something about my pitchers ... CC, Verlander etc...).
