Finally some good lines for Top Pitchers!!!

Roy Halliday -138, Mark Buelrie -132.
Well most bettors would call these traps. Halliday is usually -200 to -300. Just so happens the phils are not hitting plus H.Kurodo is 1-1 with a 2.89 era last 4 starts. So this means 2-1, 3-2 type of game,total I think is 6. But its gambling so maybe the LAD or Phils break out to day. Its very tempting to take Roy today.
Buehrie is getting -132 against Mitch Talbot who hasn't been too good lately,0-6,6.81 era last 8 games. You would think Buehrie is a lock but he got drilled the last time he faced THE Indians.
Both pitchers are on the road. It seems to me these plays would usually go 1-1 but which one will win. Best play might be to take both dogs and hope for split and little profit. Very tempting to take both at cheap price though probably what Vegas wants us to do!!!

Yeah I took the over in this game, I'm hoping the Phillies can put up at least 4 or 5 runs, and the Dodgers 2 or 3.

Went ahead and bet BUEHRLE at -133. Although the last time he faced Clevland he went 3inng.gave up 8 hits,6 runs and walked 3 batters. Usually after a performance like that the better pitchers come back with a lot better performance..Talbot has not pitched very good and I thought he was hurt a few games back. He's a fairly young pitcher and maybe the innings have caught up with him. If Buelrle doesn't have a great game maybe the over is a good play also.

Money went with Clevland. Line ended -128 CWS.
Took the over also. Hoping for a 12-4 game. Well I can dream. 2-0 Sox top of 1st.
Halliday now at -144.

Should be lots of runs scored the ump is making pitchers throw strikes.
Idiot from CWS tryies to steal 3rd with 1 out and they have pitcher on ropes. With best power hitter up.
