I was sitting on the fence on this one, debating whether or not to play the total, when I noticed it go to 7.5 Under -125 at WAGERSTREET about ten minutes before gametime.... I still had -105 elsewhere, and jumped on it. SOON after, the line corrected back to EVEN...
One pitch in, and I'm nervous... not good. Then, we get seven comfortable innings, and HOW I forgot about the DREADFUL DBACK pen is beyond me. With SCHILLING/JOHNSON going, count on this series to stay UNDER consistently, but otherwise, it's an OVER play as the fabulous dodo bird BP proved once again. Sucks when you only got 12 outs to go and you can afford 3 runs to be scored when only 4 have crossed in over 7 innings, and you STILL lose... live and learn!
IF the starter can't go NINE, avoid the TOTAL LINE!
