A's / M's line-up

[ddubs]

As suspected, looks like Lou's not handing this game away. Going for the 1st sweep of the A's since '95. They're out, but they can still mess with the playoff picture.

BTW McClellend is behind the plate today. Home team is 12-22 with him, 2-6 last 8.

Line movement is making me think real hard about buying it back and taking the profit. If it goes down to -110, I'll prob do it. -120 at some places now.

MCclelland likes the home dogs between 125 -140 they are 6-2...and dubs it may be me but did you notice while capping this game LIDLE has given up some runs with him behind the plate???...any thoughts...cooz

Cooz, no doubt. I'm glad you noticed, too. In fact, all those games went over by double the line. Especially when McClellend over the years is pretty much .500 on O/U.Pretty strong trend.

I didn't want to play Over earlier because if Halos lost, this game will be just like a playoff game, and has a bigger chance for an Under game like last nite. I'd say Over NOW is a pretty good play, Seattle will be pretty loose tonite, IMHO.

 

[cooz3]

totally agree...like the over myself...and if i had to play a side i would play seattle...cooz
