Dodgers-DBacks

[CoachB]

Two good pitchers. Arizona has a much better chance of scoring off Ishii than the Dodgers off Schilling right??? So, I see Arizona winning easily.

neither of these teams can score much. . .

. . . but Schilling has hardly been dominating this year. Ishii is always solid at home. He shut down Arizona a week ago in Phoenix, then came out of the game and watched the bullpen lose the game.

This line is skewed by the perception of John Q. Public that Schilling and Johnson--and the D'Backs behind them--always win. Don't be fooled. This game means a hell of a lot to the Dodgers, who are desperately trying to stay in the NL Wild Card race. It means nothing to Arizona, who is effectively out of the playoffs. LA as a home dog is a tremendous value tonight.

Coach

Remember the the boys from Arizona have had a terrible time scoring runs the last month.....Ishi may not be quite as good as Shilling but CS has a history of giving up home runs when that fast ball forgets to "move"! The bright side is other than Green the Dodgers have trouble hitting home runs in batting practice!!! I am playing the Dodgers on the plus money small (they are at home and can play small ball for runs) small bet on the over as a 3-3 tie game would guarantee an over barring weather or shortened game.......JUST MY HUMBLE OPINION THOUGH COACHB so BEST OF LUCK WHICHEVER WAY YOU PLAY IT!!

Thanks coach!..I liked the under and was going to leave the side
alone but your analysis made sense and I parlayed for a good hit.THANKS AGAIN !!

Schilling

was amazing tonight, and the Dodgers reverted to their usual swinging and missing. Nice call.

[CoachB]

good

BallFan and others,

Glad to hear the good news. Sometimes we tend to outthink ourselves when the answer is right there!! Been getting my nuts kicked in lately, so I am picking games for the board with a clear, non-chaser mind. Laying off the wagering for a few weeks......unless someone has a good one for me
