"Losing Pitcher" is John Danks' nickname. I've called Quintana "The Great" Jose Quintana because he is the only "great" starting pitcher in history who has never had a 15 win season. The Sox are a middle of the road team. If Quintana ever won 15 games they'd be a good team. We have an example of an actual great pitcher who has pitched on the same teams and has a .600 winning percentage.
What type of odds do I get? I'm sure we can figure something out that makes sense for both of us. I'm thinking 9 to 1 odds that he finishes next year 8 games over .500 for his career. Considering how mediocre he's been I'm taking a huge leap of faith to take odds like that. I'm willing to risk $200.
Don't be ridiculous. If he pitches 16 years that's a half a game over .500 for each season. He's quite capable of achieving such a thing, though it hardly qualifies him as "great".
You're the guy saying he is great. Maybe you should be laying the odds.
Sorry, I misread what you wrote. Eight over after next year? He's probably capable of that too, but it doesn't make him great either. How about this- we bet $100 on an O/U of 5 games above .500 for next year and I'll take the under. If he's exactly five over it's a push.
You have a deal at 4 games over .500 for his career at the end of next season.
