always enjoy your posts bro

Justin Verlander has thrown a whopping 249 pitches over his last two starts.  I know he's supposed to have this rubber arm, but this is ridiculous.  Plus, the numbers don't back him up on that rubber arm thing.  Since the beginning of June, Verlander has started seven games that followed consecutive starts that saw him throw more than 230 pitches.  Let's look at how he did in those 7 games:

June 16th - After throwing a total of 239 pitches against the Angels and White Sox, Verlander gave up 8 hits and 5 earned runs in just 4 innings at St. Louis.

July 1st - After throwing a total of 233 pitches against the Brewers and Astros, Verlander gave up 6 hits and 4 earned runs in 6 innings at Oakland.

July 29th - After throwing a total of 236 pitches against the Yankees and White Sox, Verlander gave up 6 hits and 3 earned runs in 7 innings at Texas.

August 3rd - After throwing a total of 242 pitches against the White Sox and Rangers, Verlander gave up 9 hits and 5 earned runs in 8 innings against Baltimore.

August 8th - After throwing a total of 233 pitches against the Rangers and Orioles, Verlander gave up 7 hits and 5 earned runs in 6 innings against Minnesota.

August 24th - After throwing a total of 239 pitches against the Red Sox and Mariners, verlander gave up 10 hits and 4 earned runs in 5.2 innings at the Angels.

Septemer 4th - After throwing a total of 233 pitches against the Angels and Rays, Verlander gave up 4 hits and 1 earned run in 8 innings at Tampa Bay.

Not so hot, huh?  And if I may attempt to discredit his one good start in this situation which took place just five days ago, he was facing the Rays who were already beginning their death spiral out of the Wild Card race. 

So that's 7 games in which Verlander was coming off of consecutive starts in which he threw an average of 236 pitches in his two preceding starts.  And now tonight, he's pitching on 4 days rest after throwing 249 pitches against the Rays in Detroit and the Rays in Tampa.  Who wants to bet nothing bad happens to him?  Not me.

I suspect this is a smallish play for you if you decide to go for it?

Then don't do it.  End of conversation.   

Nope.  It's a biggish play.

i was going with the Mike Singletary speech... No hard feelings... Only action i have on that game involves a giant 15 team - $15 teaser.. just wanted to make week one even more intereting that it already will be

Thanks for your input

How about the fact that a 30-40 road team is laying -190 on the road and hardly anyone thinks they can lose?
