    the RL makes no sense at all. Why is it only -170?

    Seattle is -215 on the RL!!!! What, are they much more likely to lose by a run than the Cubs? They are on the road, which makes a difference...

    I'll put a unit on the RL.

    you guys are willing to lay -170 to buy a run
    why dont you just take the cubs to win?
    explain this to me

    but you are laying -170
    i mean, wouldnt you rather have cubs or milw at even than laying -170 on a game
    at -170, you can find a heckuva a lot better games than this one

    dodgers tonite, phils, etc

    dont lay for a run people, its not the way to go

    the reason it's good advice is because some books (like bodog) have extra vig on RLs as opposed to MLs.

    Close to gametime, bodog is -105/-105 on MLs and -110/-110 on RLs.

    well i wish everyone luck, to me, its smart to guess a side rather than laying -170 vs the big beast named CC

    but then again, milw sucks ass
