    Reagan at Peeps says he remembers Pedro around -450 once, he thinks against KC. Line will change as Foltynewicz is probable scratch with elbow tightness. Most likely go up.

    Saw Randy Johnson in the 400's, yeah and Pedro in the 400's. Mighta been against TBay. These were legitimate lines and not the goniff local gouge.

    Kdog, Steiner mentioned Folty as the probable, unless you heard something different or later.

    Was watching Dodger game & Scully said now questionable because of the elbow. Game off the board so we won't know till morning, not that I much care at that price:)

    Yes Im an old man. The 86 Mets with Doc Gooden no odds you had to give runs with laying the odds. 1975 Reds Machine and 75 Red Sox you had to give 2 runs 120 to 100 odds. Vegas and locals.

    In 2007 the Twins were at home against Washington, Johan Santana was pitching and the Twins were -435. They lost that game btw

    "Crippled Julius" a longtime D.C. gambler once asked an office to give him a total on the coast game. It was the Dodgers(Koufax) versus either the Cards(Gibson) or SFO(Marichal). This was before over/unders were used as they are now. CJ was redirected to Bob Martin who quickly produced a total of 3half. CJ bet over and lost 2-1.

    I had -380 closing line on that game.

    Wait, Brad Radke was -430 against someone? LOL. I know the tigers were historically bad that year, but if Brad Radke was worth a -430, shouldn't there have been -500+ guys out there that year against detroit?

    Looks like the line is going off close to -500, which means it will jump to the top of the 20 year list. Could it be the only loser on the list? Stranger things have happened.

    Braves team total is 2 over +130.
