    Someone smarter than me needs to explain the TB/MIA line

    The Rays are -195 tonight? Against Kohler?

    I have this line at -160. Am I way off?

    I guess books know Tampa sucks so they overprice them to make bettors think they will actually win this time.

    Just like last night.

    the same reason we back mia at home regardless of the opponent is why we fade them on the road regardless of opponent. This is the same team that got rocked by sd last month with all 3 of their aces including fernandezes last start. This team is col east imo play em at home fade em on the road and also dont forget they just swept tb in miami now tb comes home with their ace who with the exception of this year is immortal at home. I'll have it in a parlay tonight with something. But i do think their over priced but that doesnt mean they wont win same with the nats but both should win.

    I guess the 1st inning sums it up. Miami is horrible on the road.

    No offense, but your post has some major flaws.
    1) Over the previous 6 away matches prior to yesterday, the Marlins had won 4 of their last 6 away games (2 against SFG and 2 against WSH).
    2) Jose Fernandez was already injured when pitching at SDP.
    3) No one cares about Price's efforts from the past when he can't get the job done this year.
    4) The Rays are a complete joke this year.

    Every time I take a break, things go just as I map out. Figures.

    Oh well.

    Hard to say given how mediocre (at best) Odorizzi is, but Turner should not be in the bigs right now. Plus stuff, but he just doesn't get it.

    Could you explain WHY you have them at -160? How do you come up with that line?

    -160 essentially means he thinks they win a little over 60% of the time. (160/260 = 61.5%)
