I've never been one these tin foil hat wearing conspiracy nuts, I have always believed in capping the games, trusting my methods/process, and playing where I see value.
I'm not into attempting to "read" anything into lines or any such thing, I'm not 1 to tell others my way any better than theirs and never will.
That all being said if there was ever a "fishy" line that screamed "trap" (or whatever guys want to call it) this has to be it!! In all seriousness even the juice lovers that have never seen a MLB fav they didn't like are gonna eat this line up!!! typical surface stats/numbers easily point phils. Digging deeper into my process there still little to nothing that says cards should be favs here, I have number damn near completely flipped which typically leads me to a play obviously, but most the time perception of teams doesn't point exactly the same direction!!!
Something just feels wrong here imo.. obviously nothing I'm saying means in slightest phils have to or are going to win, I have their chances just slightly better than 50/50. I just don't understand cards being lined where I have Phillies chances?!???!!

Home field + perception. Cards are short home fave though, which would line up with truly neutral "50/50".

Obviously I totally agree w you playing Phils. Game just has a weird feel to me for whatever reason.. If it wasn't for the reds cards are not even a .500 team. Wacha surface stats are nice but he sporting worst k/bb ratio of his career, by far biggest hard hit ball percentage of his career. Then there cards offense which is nothing short of freaking putrid!! Carpenter and fowler are absolute black holes in top/middle of order, ozuna been disappointing, if it wasn't for Pham they would never score any runs!!! The only real plus I saw for cards is this ump Rackley has always had some home team lean and this year he been especially homerific!!!

Uncanny!
Home All-Time: 95-59, +18.70u, +12.1% ROI
Home 2018: 7-0, +5.59u, +79.8% ROI
Just not sure I would trust Umps H/A records as much as I would trust OV/UN records, as Sides could be pure luck while OV/UN ties to Ump's strike zone.
