Major League Baseball/MLB Regular Season Discussion

[vella85]

Well tonight is the 1st game of the World Series like we all know already and I decided to put a bet on Cleveland money line @2.10 and lucky I did as they are almost equal favorites now with the Cubs so this tells me that nothing really separates the two teams and that I think it will be a close game. I'm liking Cleveland even more now that they have come in from 2.20 to 1.95 depending on which sportsbook but most have them under 2.00 now.

As I said I'm expecting it to go to game 7 and I did also put a bet on the Cubs to win 4-3 

[vella85]

Cleveland won easy tonight 6-0 and they finally scored 3 home runs after the 7th inning which they haven't been able to do this post season. It was a nice hit for me as I got them on @2.10 ML and by the time the game started Cleveland were the favorites so some big money must of come late for them at the ML.

In game 2 tonight I like the Cubs and so I decided to put a bet on them at the money line $1.73 I think they can bounce back from last night's blow up and square up the series 1-1 heading into game 3 on the Cubs home field.

Good luck to everyone who has a bet on the game.

I thought I would take the cubs to tie it up 1-1 but wow the line
was ridiculous. Even if the cubs win I still couldn't justify laying that
much odds on the road vs a solid team.

Re game 1. I did not expect Kluber to do very well for the Indians in the first game. But the Chicago Cubs' hitter also looked like there was a certain meekness with them. They were not aggressive enough and kept waiting for the right moment. They should have tried to score runs when it was 0 - 2 and risked being striked out.

Game 2 is much better.

I know what you mean but $1.73 were pretty good odds for me and I'm glad I did take them as the Cubs won easily and never really looked like loosing. This will make the series interesting now that they are both locked at 1-1 and the next 3 games are played in Chicago so either the Cubs wrapped it up at home or Cleveland get a road win and take it back to Cleveland. Could will see a 7 game series like I am expecting?

[vella85]

I think the Chicago Cubs win tonight however I don't like the odds for the money line so I am going to take a risk and take a bet on -1.5 runs. The Cubs would want to win their 1st home game of the World Series and take a 2-1 lead in the series. So far in the 2 games both teams have blown out the opposition so I'm hoping the Cubs do it again.

[Rubberduckie]

again another huge win for the Indians and just like game 1 it sets up
for a great opportunity to bet the cubs game 4.

I can see this going back and forth. I think if you play cubs game 4
and if they lose double it game 5. Like an arb bet. I don't see them losing
4-1 and losing all 3 at home.

Yeah it was a huge win for the Indians and not only did they win huge but so did Vegas. The Cubs were odds were coming in right up to the start of the game so a lot of money was waged on the Cubs last night. They were too short for me at the money line and that's why I went with the -1.5 point spread. Even though I lost I'm well in front in the series so far as I won on the first 2 games and I also have either team to win the World Series. The Cubs are at much better odds for tonight's game around the $1.80 mark, I'm still deciding on who to put my money on. It should be noted that Game 4 is where the "Curse of the Billygoat" began for the Cubs in 1945, 71-years ago. Can they win tonight a break the curse?

I might just sit this one out and see what happens.

[Rubberduckie]

yeah may be smart actually they are really telling with the odds

The fact that the line is only -120 is saying a lot (like maybe the indians
is the play) I still think there is some value to the zig zag

I'm surprised that more people aren't talking about the World Series. Either Chicago or Cleveland will end championship droughts that have lasted for over 70 years, including the Cubs' record 108 years and counting. The Cubs look to be the better team and the team who I think will end up winning this series, but are currently losing it 2-1. It would be absolutely heartbreaking to all Cubs fans if they see their team have the best record in the regular season, easily make it to the World Series, only to lose when it matters most.

Well now the Cubs have made it very hard to win the World Series after going down tonight and going down 3-1 in the series. The Cubs need a win in their next and last home game of the series to stay alive. Can the Cubs do what The Cavs did in the NBA finals and win the World Series being down 3-1 and they will also have to win 2 road games to achieve this.

I am now pretty confident that the Cubs win the next game at home and Cleveland will have a chance to win the World Series on their home field.

[vella85]

I guess everyone is thinking what most people think and that is the Cubs will win tonight as they are at very short odds. Even though I said I would bet on the Cubs if they lost yesterday but I'm not having a good day today betting so I will sit this one out. Good luck to whoever decides to have a bet on the game.

Almost hoping cubs win game 6 so it would set up an exciting game 7

I would feel bad for either team that loses as both have played so well.

I am also hoping the same mate as I have the Cubs winning the World Series in 7 games so can they do what the Cavs did earlier this year and win 3 straight games to win the World Series? I think they have the team to do it, well to be honest both teams are just as good as each other and a game 7 would be exciting to see.

Currently the Cubs are favorites to win game 6 and I would say they have the momentum going into game 6 but the Indians did show some fight in that last game so I think the momentum is 50/50 and game 6 could go either way.

[bbc.reporter]

A part of me wants the Cleveland Indians to win and at least give that place something to celebrate for. I have heard that many parts of that city are affected by poverty in a big way. Having them winning the world series would surely boost their morale over there.

[CoolJakeB]

I still think that the Cubs will win Game 6 tonight and force a winner-take-all World Series Game 7 tomorrow. It will be extremely difficult to win two road games but the Cubs were the best team in the regular season and they have a fighting chance. One of the two teams will be left heartbroken when this series is over, and I hope it won't be the Cubs, because the fans and the organization have suffered enough in the last 108 years, trying to win a championship and being disappointed season after season.

cubs off to a huge lead!

Looking like a game 7 for sure and huge ratings for fox and baseball.
Baseball still needs work with speeding up the game to fix how boring it
can be but this series going 7 helps baseball be more exciting.

Go Cubs Go!!

I'm now set to make a big payday if the Cubs can win game seven, as I predicted that this World Series would go to game 7 and I have the Cubs to win the series 4-3 @4.60 But either way I'm set to win as I have both winning the World Series before it even started.

However as I have been saying can Cleveland win in game 7 just like the Cavs did earlier this year, if they can that would make it 2 championships for the city of Cleveland in the one season and that hasn't happened in 14 years where I believe the City of LA did it.

I've been sitting out the past 2 games and not having a bet because it is tough to pick a winner and I'll also sit out game 7 as I already have money on either team to win.

I am rooting for the Cubs

Go Cubs Go!

[CoolJakeB]

This Game 7 of the World Series between the Cubs and Indians will be the most anticipated baseball game in many years. The Cubs have the momentum of winning the last two games to force this final game, but have to win the seventh game on the road, which is no easy task with everything on the line. I think the "Cubs Curse" ends tonight and Chicago will finally be able to hoist the championship they have been waiting 108 years for!
