10 * BOMB ( 14 -3 THIS YEAR ) In Todays MLB

[GOLDENGREEK]

10 * Cleveland + 200

Basing this on this trend:

In the last 10 years, nine of the 14 playoff teams that have employed a version of a three- man rotation in the FIRST ROUND series have lost the series.

**** LOSING 17 OF THE 21 GAMES THAT STARTERS PITCHED WITH SHORT REST.

AND the Yankees bullpen pitching 14 1/3 innings the last three days

[BillMill71]

[celtics72]

Greek, as a lurker here I would never want to be against a 10* play of yours (and I won't because I see no value in this game for the Yankees when I have a series bet on them) but there is something missing from the argument against pitching on 3 days rest. Lets look at the last 5 years

This appears to be 15 starts and a relief appearance. Of these, only Brown, Glavine, Zito & Hudson had bad outings & Hampton went 6+ and 4 runs. The rest are decent starts, not Cy Young stuff (except for Beckett) but a lot of 5-7 innings 2 or 3 run type starts. Tell me this, if Wang goes 6 and gives up 3, leaving Joba for 1 and Mo for 2, would you like the Yankees chances against Paul Byrd? If he were facing CC or Carmona, I like the Indians, but Paul(please giveme 6 runs a a game) Byrd, I am not so sure. Like I said, I am not betting the Yankees at -200,especially with a series bet,just wanted to share my take.

[jmarty6969]

i hope one day your record is better then mullets but gl anyways lol

[zeib10]

Good luck tonight Greek. I love the pic(s).

[sinatra1]

Good luck GG. I am gonna take the Tribe also.

Like I posted in another thread, Paul Byrd was the only pitcher to beat The Whitesox in the 2005 playoffs. He has the ability to shut down teams. Hopefully he can shutdown the Yanks tonight.
