I can't wait for the playoff series lines! - Page 2

Here's why I think WS are a huge bet.

Is Contreras (AL Sept pitcher of the month) gonna be a dog in Game 1? Is Buehrle (also on a hotstreak) gonna be a dog in game 2? Playoffs are a craqpshoot for sure and dead even lines in all series make sense to me. They are all good teams and all have good chances. But given my druthers I'll take the pitching and let the ESPN hypnotized morons lay the wood for teams with lesser resumes on the road.

I now have a bet on Boston by default. I had bet somebody in Sporting Events that CWS wouldn't win a series. I was going to hedge it, because I knew CWS would most likely be dogs no matter who they played. But, I think with Boston playing (where my heart lies [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] ), with me getting an even money bet on Boston, and the fact that the guy might not pay and I could lose then, I will just let it ride.

As a White Sox fan I'm absolutely terrified! Chicago is all about choking and underperforming and usually not even getting a chance to fail on a national stage.

But as an objective sports bettor I really like their chances at this price. As an objective sport bettor it is a totally out of whack line.

I like Houston at this price. I think they are the 2nd best team in the NL, and with the top of the rotation so strong, they might even be the best "playoff" team.
