    I just don't get it Dodgers is the best team this year and should be making alot of people $$$$.I get maybe people want to take there chances with the big odds but if you bet Dodgers everyday you should be well ahead.

    78-32 (1.78, 70.9%) avg line: -186.3 / 169.8 on / against: +$2,957 / -$3,344 ROI: +14.3% / -29.9%

    When it the last time a team finished with a WP% of 70%? Ever? IMO, they will go through a losing spell like the Nationals and Astros have.

      I get what your saying some people like your self think Dodgers will go on a losing streak but why bet against them while they are hot and who really knows if these dodger team will lose 2,3,4 straight they only lost to 1 team Atlanta in how many game they played.If anything instead of betting against the Dodgers people should be passing the game plus this Dodgers team looks like the team of destiny look how many games they were down and came back to win.

          I don't have a bunch of experience to draw on but I have pretty good logic and it tells me the Dodgers and every other team will hit a at least a 3 game skid in the remainder of the season and going by winning percentages of past seasons, it seems hard to get above 60% and they are over 70% with a huge lead in their division. I would think a team like that would soon start to bring in a few young players in certain spots to see what they have, someone they could use in a spot in the playoffs while giving some regulars some rest here and there. And they might not want the pressure of having such a good regular season record and such high expectations going into the playoffs. I wouldn't start fading them out of the blue expecting them to lose, but I'm waiting for any of those signs with the prices becoming so high on them. It has nothing to do with how good they are, just the position they are in and law of averages.
