Final week

mrbaseball · #1 09-29-2005, 08:43 AM

The final week is shaping up just like always. The contenders (Bos, NY, Cle) are stumbling along while getting waaaaay overpriced. Like yesterday todays lines for them are way out in the stratosphere meaning you have no choice but to take the other side.

This happens every year, for some reason the public is convinced the contenders can't lose to teams out of it and nothing could be further from the truth. Nobody is laying down for these guys.

Nice post, definitely worthwhile to fade NYY and BOS until they begin play against each other on Friday. Cleveland is also getting some juicy lines lately as well. I think the BOS line is especially laughable today. Clement gets shelled against TOR while Downs picks up a W against the Sox and Boston is the one with the -200ish line? C'mon.

Pride is a heavily undervalued commodity across sports wagering.

The Yanks may have gotten spanked on Tuesday but I think they are far from stumbling. Fading the Sox and Indians is fine, but the Orioles really ARE phoning it in right now...

Yankee fan? The phoned in 17 frikken runs and then held that lineup to just 2. They don't look they are giving up to me.

Typical runline the underdog gets the runs in an alternate runline the dog GIVES the runs often resulting in a pretty long odds situation.
