Junior, the Dodgers are -245 to win the WS. What is your take on laying the juice and betting the Dodgers to win the WS?
LA Dodgers/Toronto Game 1
- Thread starter Junior44
- Start date
Meaning the Jays are a much better baseball team than the crew. I could be wrong, however— but that’s how I read YYZ’s comment..
And read the entire thread before commenting next time, Redsfann.
You’re a dumbass sometimes..🤣
Agreed on Yesavage. That young man is something special. To pitch (and pitch well) in a do or die game 6 of the ALCS in only his 6th pro start is unprecedented. Not to mention he advanced though every level of A ball this year alone. He has the physical skills, and the mental fortitude to do this. The Jays don't need to chase Snell from the game, they just need to withstand him and take their chances with the bullpen hopefully around the 5th or 6th inning.I'm just fan'ning, but I don't mind Yesavage game 1. Was thinking to sacrifice Gausman as I wouldn't be shocked if Dodgers tee off on him. Trey's had the unscoutability advantage, at least, or so it seems.
Very recent article, from these parts, on the suspected Blue Jays rotation:
Making the case for this Blue Jay to be the Game 1 starter in the World Series
With the Toronto Blue Jays capturing the American League pennant and heading to their first World Series in 32 years, all eyes will be watching every single movjaysjournal.com
Jays are going to need to hit. They've been feast or famine and I don't like them against a lefty stud, aka Snell. Dodgers bullpen mostly sucked, regular season, didn't it? Any team left standing--this late--has had good bullpen performance or they'd be gone, so these 2 overachieving is either lackluster competition or excellent managing.
yep i get it now.............it was late and i was lacking sleep.....plus im getting old lmaoo
no way would i lay that much juice. I admit that the dodgers are the favorite, but they are just too flawed to lay -250 (not good on the road, terrible bullpen, bad defense) I may have bias because I hate the Dodgers but this number should be around -160 imo

you know it's bad when i'm thinking about doing something stupid... like playing 1st 3 or 1st 5 under, and then looking to play the over live, anticipating these bullpens to regress to the mean.
or maybe just a small bet on toronto, since i'll be rooting for them regardless of who i bet. oh, and all the overs on edman and kike hernandez, of course.
lmao....yeah but in a year and half i hit the big 6-0
Barring domination by one side, I have the first 4 games starters as
G1 Snell@Yesavage
G2 Yamamoto@Gausman
G3 Bieber@Ohtani
G4 Scherzer@Kershaw
Maybe wrong on the game 4 starters, but if 2-1 either way then it makes sense to me. I don't know if the Blue Jays will be favorites in any one of those, save maybe game #2, at evens to -110.

FWIW, alex vesia is not on the dodgers' world series roster. apparently he's dealing with a serious family issue.
tanner scott is also not on the roster. leaving... anthony banda as their top lefty in the pen. unless you include kershaw.
might not matter much, as toronto has, what, 3 lefties on the roster? barger, lukes, and varsho? but maybe one of them will get to hit against a righty in a big situation late in a game.

fun fact i just uncovered... game one of the WS has gone to extra innings the last 3 years. meaningless? maybe. but a fun play at +700.
My gut screams Jays and under 7.5. Honestly thinking of playing F5 under then hitting the full game over after 2-3 scoreless innings
well, we'll never know what would have happened if that was vesia instead of banda last night. but it certainly couldn't have been any worse for LA.
