This should be another lopsided game, but in our favor again.

Promise?

Look at that opponent OPS for Wade Davis. Yikes!

Time to throw at Aviles' head? Oh, and charge Chris Perez?

-145 on the money line.

By this time last year we were 6-14.

two years ago we were 19-11

.558 at home and .920 away. Small sample size but worth mentioning none the less.

And Jimenez has been pretty dang bad.

by my numbers 12-13, after putting a bow on a 6 game skid.

Gotta take three! Keep those shitbag tigers at bay.

Mind if I ask what that means? Been wondering.

Just found out my new job doesn't start until May 13. Going to drive up to KC next week for the series against the Yanks. First game at the K for me in 13 years. I can't wait.

When making a bet and trying to win $100 you would need to be $145 on a -$145 money line.

Conversely the Indians are +$135, meaning if you bet $100 on them you win $135 or cash back in $235 on your $100 bet.


If the Money line was -$125 and you bet $125 on the winning team your ticket cashed in would be $225.

A -$145 money line is a pretty big favorite. Most are between 100-120 and the biggest favorites of the day are usually around -$160-180. Anything over -$200 is a very, very heavy favorite.

Awesome, thanks for the explanation!

If rep worked on my smart phone I'd be repping you til you felt violated.

I'll be at work but in for the win.
