Tonight Verlander goes for the Tigers. I layed -152 and the value here is so overwhelming that simply put, the price is wrong. Every now and then, the expert linemakers, evidently take a shot and knowingly put up a foolish price. In this spot, Pavano, who is basically a guy who at best might last 5 innings, and the Twins are simply hurting. Their best players are playing hurt, as they simply can't afford to rest their "big guns" if they have any shot of making the playoffs, and competing.
If you are a serious player, you already know this price is absurd. True, Verlander's last outing was below par. But everyone is entitled to a off night. The All Star break simply did not agree with many of the league's best pitchers. Tonight, I love Verlander on the road, vs. this "strange" team, that has many people fooled. So much so, that linemakers know, most suckers will take the price on the Twins, based on Verlander's last performance and the three power hitters the Twins have. Mauer, et al., and Thome (Thome ought to retire as he is so old and out of shape, he can't stretch out to make it to second, on balls hit far enough to do so), simply can't win games by themselves. With a pitcher like Pavano going tonight, this is one to really unbuckle on! Just my opinion.
