What's a better play? The Yankees -110 tonight or +300 to win the Series?

I would think a play on the 3-1 odds would be a better play as if they win tonight, you can buy back some of that +300 tomorrow.

Thoughts?

Crow to answer your question...

The series line is an AWFUL idea. If you like the Yankees, simply taking them tonight, and then roll the entire amount over onto game 7. The series line posted at most books (-400/+300 or so) SHOULD NOT be taken. It's exactly what they want you to take. By taking them in game 6 and rollint it over onto game 7, you will get the average price of the series line. (so roughly +350 on your money)

Whatever you do, DO NOT take the series line. You are costing yourself money by doing so.

I know Lee will be pitching the next game, but I think there may be some value here.

Crow without a doubt I would say NYY -110 tonight.  Think of it this way... do you honestly believe that you will be getting better or worst than +110 for NYY tomorrow against Cliff Lee at home in a game? 

Reason I ask is a two team parlay of -110 and +110 = +300.  BOL!

Crow to put it in YOUR terms (since I know you are a big parlay guy) betting games 6 and 7 would be a TRUE VALUE parlay since you are pretty much betting a 2 team parlay on the Yankees winning the series. Taking the series price gives you less then true value.

I already have the total in a teaser. I don't even know if I am going to play anything here.

I wasn't looking to ride the Yankees out in this one, I was looking to do something Wacky with the Rangers Tomorrow if the Yanks would win tonight.

Then take the Yankees tonight and bet the Rangers straight up tomorrow, atleast you would be getting the right return on your bet. This is pretty much the same as taking the Yankees series price and hedging with the Rangers game 7.

Crow....here's two cents from a guy that's turned losing wagers into pushes and guaranteed profits on numerous bets by hedging....

If you think the Yankees lose this series, do not put a dime on the Yankees.  If you truly believe the Yankees can win this game and possibly game 7, may want to hedge as follows:

Say you were looking to put 2 units on the Yankees to win the series....... put 1 unit on the Yankees ML tonight and 1 unit on the Yankees series price.  If Yanks pull this game out, you're pretty much in a break even situation going into game 7 at +300.  I doubt Lee will be favored anything higher than -170, and possibly lower if the Yanks shell the Rangers tonight.  If you're able to get a game 7, put down half of the profits from game 6 on Texas to score the first run in tomorrow's game.  If they do, you'll be up from your game 6 profit + the winning prop, and still have the option of hedging the +300 Yankee bet.  If Yanks score first, you would be up a half unit as you'd lose your prop bet, but your team at +300 odds will be leading in the game and it will open up a world of hedging opportunity on Texas in-game running line.  BOL
