I never seen a MLB line this high before.  Im really tempted to put 1700 to win a 500, it feels like free money.

Is this the type of game you put this house on?  Scherzer hasnt lost yet and is pitching extremely well.  The Astros are terrible as always(currently on 6 game losing streak) and are probably the worst road team in the majors.

Is this just a dumb overpriced bet or free money on the street?  I have 3k in account, shit maybe ill unload all of it if Im feeling good around gametime.

DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ESPECIALLY ON BASEBALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1700 to win 500?????? C'mon MAN!!!! SMARTEN UP! 

So many variables to factor in with baseball. If you want to unload on -310 line, this isn't the sport to do it on. gluck, don't make a dumbass bet.

Atros win. They should of won both of the first two games but blew their lead. Our guess I shouldn't say should of but had a chance to win to win both of the first two games.

As for never seeing a line this high I posted this a few days ago. Johan lost as a -415 fav at home vs nats in 07. Pedro was a -350 fav many times. The 2002 Yankees were -300 favs in like 22 of their last 28 games!! Crazy

I think todat is to simple or to NICE to win this 2 teams again Detroit and St Louis...i know Detroit (Scherzer 5-0) and Houston (Keuchel 0-1) and St Louis (Miller 5-2) and NY Mets (Marcum 0-3) is a visible difference...but i think is to easy to make a parlay with this 2 teams and win again...one of this lose...or win again both RL?

Team totals are not up yet but I would take Detroit Team total over 4. I got 260 in my account. I started out with about $65 a week ago. I hope I can turn it into $500 by the end of the week. I believe it can be done.

Been gambling for a while now ....


I remember guys like Pedro Martinez, Curt Schilling, and Randy Johnson  could get as high as -350 or  -360

I have never seen a -400 line for Johan Santana   EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not sure about that .... maybe I missed it

Runline is the play here       DET - 1 1/2   -160

DET -360  is not a bad bet by the way ......

If this same game were played 100 times I feel Detroit won win about 85 times  which justifies the -360    (SIA -430 ...  WOW, thats nuts)

Never do that, just remember Houston, as bad as it is, will win 60 or more games (and BTW they've started winning both past games against the Tigers).

Take the RL or parlay with the Cards, no money is sure in betting

Perfect, on june 9, 2007 johan was -415 vs nats and lost 3-1 at home. Mussina was -400 on sept 24, 2002 vs tampa. In fact look at the yanks 02 season on covers past history under the teams. Yanks were -300-400 almost EVERY game late in the year.

Arizona was -450 on sept 14, 2002. They beat Milwaukee 5-0 with Johnson going up against rick Neuberger?   That's the highest im seeing

did someone just say Astros should have won the first two games...  just because you score first doesn't mean you should win the game.

Hold up........

I see people tellin him not to take the -340.  But then they say take the Runline or parlay it with the Cards.   Really?

Talk about making it even harder on yourself?

Whoever bet on this line is just simply stupid even if it is a winner.

couldn't agree more. the more guys take this price, the worse they put themselves in trouble in the long run. taking Tigers RL for fun or taking Total is muuuuuuch better. DEF no play

I don't care what you do but if your book is posting -340

you do need a need a new book. I would tend to that first.

Now and then even a BLIND squirrel can find an acorn

Pardon me, that line isn't rising, it is on a rocket headed for the stratosphere. Must be "the Lock of the century".
