I would agree with you about the line being out of whack. But, at even money, it is pretty good to be on Boston.

I suspect Pinnacle might not be the place to bet on the Padres, Angels, or White Sox. The lines there tend to be "sharper" than other books. Bowman's in particular seems to have square lines that often differ quite a bit from Pinny.

These moved fast -220, +305 now.

Mr B, are you on all 4 dogs?

I know you like the Padres, that's the only one I can't touch.

I agree of course. I have been screwed beyond screwed with my efforts to resist hedging this year (bets on Oakland and Boston to win their divisions could have paid off big earlier this year, and because of a crappy tiebreak rule I get nothing for either of them).

The AL lowdown on overpricing
 

Had you bet NYY every game this season you would have lost 4.25 units. Had you bet BOS every game you would have won 5.95 units. The Angels +17.4 units and the CWS + 24.25 units.

So these lines just continue the mispricing we have seen from day one. If you aren't on LAA or CWS you shouldn't be betting these series because there is no value in laying the wood on the other 2 teams.

Re: I can\'t wait for the playoff series lines!
 

I like the fat lines (LAA, CWS and SD). Atl and Hou is close enough to be fair and I don't see any value there.

Re: I can\'t wait for the playoff series lines!
 

Like, I said, I probably would buy some CWS back, but I don't want to get stiffed (I don't think the guy will stiff me..but you never know).

Re: I can\'t wait for the playoff series lines!
 

I agree with you on SD. If there ever was a "live dog" I would say they are it. And I am not saying this because I live in SD. I don't like the Padres or their fans, or their barely .500 division winning team. If BOS blows it, then I will pull for my hometown HOU.

Hou-ATL I agree is a coinflip. I'll be taking whoever loses game 1 with the adjusted line. Comments on taking the game 1 loser ?
