Question about the O's tonight?

[Lucena]

Why is R. Lopez +147 tonight at Boston vs. Arrojo. I know Boston is at home, but come on. Lopez is strong and Arrojo is marginal. At +147 you only have to win 2 out of 7 to break even. I think if this game were played 100 times, Lopez would win at least 50 percent!

I meant 2 out of 5 of course not 2 out of 7.

I took this game at +150 earlier, and I can't tell you why the line is like this except that the Red Sox are at home, and the public mindset, without paying much attention to the pitchers, is probably that Boston is very good and the Orioles suck.

I agree with you. This line is way off.

I really like the O's tonite also but am surprised as the line hasn't moved all day. Searching the web I see many on them and haven't found many on Boston. Have to admit the lack of line movement is kind of worrisome. It's not like Lopez has a low era pitching vs scrubs as he has won vs some good offensive teams. I know the O's aren't scoring as many runs as they were during the 3 weeks before the all star break but still hitting .281 vs RH. By no means am I implying that if the O's lose tonite there is a fix or anything like that. Just that I honestly expected this line to be around +120 by gametime. Good luck to all tonite!

I SAW THIS GAME LAST NIGHT AND POSTED IT IMMEDIATELY...I THINK BALTIMORE IS A GREAT BET TONIGHT...IM SORRY ARROJO SHOULD NEVER EVER EVER BE A +180 (LOCAL) FAV...THAT SAID...THE LACK OF LINE MOVEMENT IN FAVOR OF BALT HAS ME CONCERNED AS WELL...WE OFTEN SEE GAMES LIKE THIS WHEN THE LINE DOESNT MOVE THE FAVORITE WINS QUITE A BIT...BUT IM PLAYING IT REGARDLESS ...LOPEZ AT PLUS MONEY VS. ARROJO ..ILL BITE...COOZ

I personally think the Sox, now that they have decided to play their top line-up every night instead of all of the resting players they have done throughout the year, are poised to start scoring some runs.


I don't think Baltimore can score enough to take them tonight, even against Arrojo...I like the Sox...

Good Luck Everyone
