His agent is going to have fun explaining to teams why they shouldn’t discount their offers by 25% for the 25% of the season that he misses

 

Yup, except it's more like 1/3...

 We are -500 and -550 favorites tonight. The biggest favorite in many years according to sports books. So no doubt we lose, cause baseball. 

With Verlander on the mound I'm sure our bats will take the night off.  2-0 win tonight with us sweating out another Osuna close.

If Osuna beans the tying run again, somebody better be checking his bank account

So we should be using Greinke instead of Jake to pinch hit for Reddick.

I’ll have some extra reddick bobble heads for sale after the game tonight !

We thought we lost the albatross that was Tyler White.
Turns out he just moved lockers to Reddick

[Scraps 13570]

That tweet is being generous. They could have done from AS break and he has 0 homers and is batting like .100 something

 

Edit .172 to.be exact i believe

 

 

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

This is just depressing:

Hopefully we'll get some production from 6-9 tonight:

[TonyTexas 10524]

The Astros are -525 with this lineup?

Yeah, that line was posted before the lineup. I never bet against the Astros, but if it was any other team, I'd take the Tigers at +500 or whatever. I think a line like that is ludicrous in any MLB game. 

[henrygandorf 29194]

i'm seeing -525 and the takeback is +440.

ridiculous.

and of course a lefty is pitching, as some excuse to give brantley a night off.

the diaz injury is killing us, for the second time this season.

[Scraps 13570]

lol @ Reddick bobblehead night and Ric Flair being there he is on the bench.  Womp Womp 

[Scraps 13570]

Would it be frowned upon if an avid Astros fan dropped  some money on the Tigers?  

Asking for a friend 

[Scraps 13570]

Also glad to see this.  He is one of my favorites at CC:

 

[DaysOff 7969]

Hopefully we'll get some production from 6-9 tonight:

Can't be scoring more than 2 runs for JV. Wouldn't be fair.

[TonyTexas 10524]

I can’t believe this organization doesn’t have better reserve infielder options than an outfielder. Definitely the weak link in the system.

Your friend seems like he sucks.

Verlander is still pitching.

[Mez2 4025]

Ballsy only using 5 batters tonight, JV must be feeling great

[UTHornFan014 710]

Funny that we aren't playing Reddick when the Nature Boy is there. If anything would light a fire under his ass I think it would be playing in front of Flair.

[UTexasFight 9525]

I’m not insinuating this is playing in to the line, especially considering different players and managers are involved, but this same ump is behind the plate tonight, FWIW:

I didn't ask if it was smart

Wait, so you'd have to bet $525 on the Astros to win $100, is that how those lines work?

[Ichabod 184]

Yes

yes.

and to put it in perspective, a "big favorite" is typically like -225 to -250.

darvish at home (where the cubs are great) vs san fran is like -255 tonight.

[TonyTexas 10524]

Or you can bet $100 on Detroit to win $425. But don’t tell 3putt because he will kick you in the nuts.

[UTexasFight 9525]

As one who was in attendance last year when JV pitched against the Tigers at home and watched him give up 4 jacks, nope.

Not touching that line

 

(But what’s sad is that that game was played a month earlier in the season than tonight and the Tigers still had more wins then (41 on July 15) than they do now (37 on August 21)

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

 

[UTexasFight 9525]

Have they confirmed that Mattress Mack just landed at McCarron to bet the opposite and hedge on his mattress sales?

[Mo Horn 8853]

 

[APMP 688]

Man these bets are just silly

[Mo Horn 8853]

No way the baseball gods let us win this game with these crazy bets.

Also, Bregman was a .185 hitter through his first 70 ABs. 

[tx 3 putt 77354]

Ric Flair threw some blessings on Reddick, the slump is over !

 

Woooooooooo !!!!!!

well if we win, it's just a normal $10k bet.

[DaysOff 7969]

Is everyone picking up their bobblehead, or are they taking that kid school shit serious. Fairly empty for a JV start.

[henrygandorf 29194]

i've never bet $55,000 on a game before, but here's my impression of someone who did tonight...

 

"who the fuck is jack mayfield?"

[Mo Horn 8853]

JV efficient so far tonight. 

[Mo Horn 8853]

Of course our hitters are being just as efficient in producing outs. 

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Our offense better nut up and go score 4 or 5 next inning cuz JV is dealing

[Guadaloopy 11012]

This is next level stuff.
