Re: Is it just me, or is the STL-HOU line off?
I think StL is getting a bit too much respect. The 3 aces of Houston should make it a very close and competitive series meaning a Houston bet at these prices has plenty of value.
Often the books get loaded up with futures bets from preseason favs (ie StL) and mid season frontrunners (ie StL) meaning they are up to their eyeballs with StL action before the lines for the series are even out meaning thet will skew the line because they are already loaded up on one side. The heavy preseason favs (Bos, NY, StL) always get this kind of action as do sentimental favorites (Cubs, Bos).
