I have noticed that when a line moves in favor of a talented pitcher who is inconsistent, or talented but pitching bad lately, that they often pitch very well.
Is this because someone has inside info that the pitcher has been on point in practice, or some other info that leads them to believe the pitcher is gonna deal that day?
Case in point--Homer Bailey today. Line opened -129 Brewers today, dropped to -114 at one point, closed at -140, but still seems like somebody knew Bailey was going to be the best version of himself today.
And I have seen this before.
Thoughts?
