i liked the padres before that. i may bump that up to a 5 unit play. have to see.

 

[TORONTO-VIGILANTE]

can anyone else back this up...??

It moved on the wire at 12:10 PM PT (3:10 PM ET), but for some reason they showed it as 12:10 AM. That is an error. I just did a cut and paste and sent it on. They are virtually never wrong on this kind of information. This is the same wire that the books get their information from.

The lines on SDG have gone up 15 to 20 cents. I think that says something is going on.

I will post lineups as soon as I get them.

lines up? so means better odds on SAN DIEGO NOW?
WHAT'S UP?
HEAVY BETS ON METS?

 

[Never Caught Up]

SDG has gone from -130 to -145 up.

 

[Randercity]

TEDY... Four of the best players for METS are not playing, well, starting the game. NORMALLY means, SAN DIEGO would become a stronger play.... possibly the UNDER.

 

[tedy]

don't know your American odds..
It means you have to lay more to win 100$ ?
What that means in European style odds?
EXAMPLE:
NYY 1,5 TO WIN
MEANS IF I BET 100$ I GET 150$ ...ETC....
DECIMAL WAY OF ODDS...

I think sid610 said it all. If you liked SDG before . . . they should look even better now. However, a week or so ago when the Mets did this (I think it was against the Cubs) they came uncorked late in the game and won. They were favored in that game and playing at home.

 

[TORONTO-VIGILANTE]

totally agree with you guys and Randercity...
I'm liking the UNDER as well..especially with two good pitchers on the mound and half of the METS team not expected to play...
