Uhhh, why is Joc Peterson wearing a full-on pearl necklace?

He's been doing that for a long time, fans have taken to wearing pearls.  They had Dale Murphy throw out the first pitch in Game 2 and he was wearing pearls.

I did not think the Braves would persevere here, especially after the Acuna knee, that obviously was a season ending event.  Nope.

Can they beat the 'Stros?  50-50, probably 60-40 against.

Caesars Sportsbook opened with the Astros as -150 favorites over the Braves after Atlanta finished off the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday night in the NLCS to earn its spot in the Series. The price has since ticked down to Houston -145, with the Braves listed at +125.

Game 1 of the World Series is Tuesday night in Houston.


For the first time since 1999, the Braves are going back to the World Series.

Does this mean I can bet $150 to win $100 on the Stros and $125 on the Braves?

Yes.  Moneyline bets..

Im not a sports betting guy but if I were it would not be on baseball

Baseball is so day to day and largely dependent on the pitcher who may or may not have a good day

I'm the opposite, I generally do the best betting baseball. I will say the quick hooks, and bullpen usage has made it tougher, but I used to kill it by just betting a two game parlay every night based on pitching matchups.

My football betting this year... Woof

Betting baseball is the best edge for the bettor of the major sports.    Win the game, no garbage time back door covers, no pants crapping and relying on free throws and other scrub results.   

It really isn't a debate.

Nebraska athletic director Trev Alberts has been asked to deliver on a pretty unique opportunity in the B1G athletics.

Tuesday night during a radio show, a caller phoned in to pitch an idea to Alberts. That idea? A Field of Dreams baseball game between Nebraska and Iowa that would be televised on Big Ten Network.

Really? I lost one game giving 3:1 odds,I never saw a cleaner pick either.It was like '04-'05 something like that and the Twins were in 1st and the Tigers in last.Tigers had 2 allstars both were out,Rodriguez and Guillen and had some schmuck in center just called up and a pitcher called up from Double A who didn't have a decent ELA ERA.If I could remember their names I'd die a happy man.Anyway at that time Pitcher Brad Radke for the Twins was off to a good start and had a lifetime record of 8-0 vs the Tigers.The only ray of light for the Tigers was the game was in Detroit.The local book made some coin that week.Haven't touched MLB since

Whose going to call the game James Earl Jones and Bob Eucker?
