[Willie99]

like your picks and your style, keep it going







PS: other people do to, 2,300+ hits after two days of posting is amazing

 

[Viking65]

Thanx Willie, your kind words are appreciated.

 

[Viking65]

Jumping on this early because I think line will increase.

S.F. Giants (-127) game 3 for 1 unit

Like the Giants in this spot against Guthrie. Guthrie pitched ok his last time out but had a lot of balls hit hard. Patient Giant hitters will
do well against his stuff.

Like others, I like your style too Viking and welcome aboard. Just to throw out some debate here in the off day, Id like to throw in my $.02 to see what you think and pick your brain.

I actually think Guthrie pitched well last outing against a really good hitting Oriole team. I havnt looked at the numbers, going off memory, but I recall a lot of swing and misses (not for strike outs), and only giving up couple hits. In my opionion, Guthrie really came to his own this season and I think SF pitchers park is a great place for him to pitch. Side note, I remember hearing something about his bay area ties so this is somewhat of a homecoming for him. On a huge stage against Balt, he shut them down.

I see this game being low scoring and Im LOVING the under. Tim Hudson pitching his first WS game. Also pitched well at home this year. Both Pitchers should be on point tomorrow in SF.

Thoughts?

Hey Inittowinit, thanx for the warm welcome. Sorry it took so long to respond but I own a restaurant and posting is difficult during the "busy" hours. I usually try to post mornings or mid afternoons unless I have a day off.


You definitely made some valid points about Guthrie having a good year. He only gave up 3 hits in 5 innings to the Orioles last time out but I recall lots of hard hit balls right at fielders.Orioles hitters struggled at the end of the year and the post season and these patient ,
experienced Giants hitters are a different animal. Current Giants players have a .308 average against Guthrie for whatever that's worth.

Also, the hot bat of Royals DH Billy Butler will be out of the starting lineup with pitchers batting. But beware, if Guthrie does go 5 strong innings, Royals bullpen has an advantage over Giants depleted bullpen.

Dont think that will happen. Giants home field advantage plus a composed pro like Hudson who has waited for this chance his whole career carry the Giants to the win.

Adding tonight:

Most total bases Brandon Crawford(-130) over Omar Infante

Crawford is a perfect 4-4 against Guthrie while Infante as a lifetime .231 average against Hudson including 2 hits in his last 13 at bats(.154)

 

[varkeyboy]

Let's get it, CRAWFORD!

 

[Viking65]

You said it Vark!!!

 

[indiana]

V/65.............good luck with your play..............indy

 

[Viking65]

Thanx Indy

 

[LexingtonBrass]

Like the play! Might even sprinkle a little something on Crawford to hit the first HR at +1500 since he owns Guthrie

 

[Viking65]

I hope you hit it Lex. Worth a shot

 

[Viking65]

Kudos to Guthrie and the Royals. To do what they did last night in that crazy environment showed a lot.

1-1 last night winning Crawford (total bases) over Infante and losing Giants (-127)

Ytd-3-1 (+173)

 

[Viking65]

Tough to get a read on this series. Leaning towards the under 7

1 play tonight:

Most total bases: Buster Posey (-110) over Eric Hosmer

Good luck all!

 

[Viking65]

They pitched around Posey all night. Buster will break out. Unfortunately it didn't happen last night.

Ytd-3-2. (+63)

They pitched around Posey to get to Sandoval and Pence ... not sure we watched the same game.

 

[Viking65]

With all due respect r.a., they absolutely pitched around Posey including an intentional walk
