    Doesn't seem like Oakland's got a problem with offense in this game. Cespedes would've struck out or popped out there trying to do too much.

    i wonder what clown or clowns moved the line this drastically?

    gotta be at least a 6 figure bet or bets on kc.

    Vargas had the best road ERA in the majors coming into this game. That is why the line moved down. I got the A's at -167. Good value there.

    You're assuming it was driven by wagers.

    It's not always that black and white.

    Think about gas prices and the way they fluctuate. The answer isn't always so linear.

    Heavy wagering alone doesn't drive a line 40 cents.

    Again, stop assuming every line move is on the level -- that books go one way or another based strictly on $$$ coming in and nothing else.

    Wow!

    Cant believe a book was giving away the A's at +130 only down 1 run. Did you get on it right before Fuld threw the guy out at the plate? That early in the game and the A's even money or better is crazy.

    There are markets for both, and markets can and are manipulated by more influences and forces than just supply and demand.

    Open your eyes. It's a very realistic and applicable analogy.

    It's not as simple as saying, "Team A's ML dropped 40 cents -- must mean Team B was hammered by someone!" If you think so, you shouldn't be gambling.

    Is it possible that they used the wrong opening line by mistake and adjusted the line accordingly over the time after someone realized that the -215 was way out of line, I mean humans make mistakes, right??

    Possible, for sure but not the case here. This game got bet down pennies at a time from -215 to where it closed.

    I would like at this time to extend a wonderful heartfelt thanks to all the Royal bettors who brought the line down to -160ish for the A's.

    The A's were easy money. Most of the money coming in on KC was because of the line movement.....so overrated.

    Also on the yanks....

    Public perception seemed to be that losing Yoenis Cespedes all of a sudden made them a shit offensive team, an opinion that I saw on here a few times. This seemed to be confirmed in their shutout yesterday. Probably more public action on this one than normal given that A's have been in the news lately and people think that the A's are a bad team playing way over their heads, despite the fact that the numbers seem to indicate that they're better than even their league-leading record.
