Why is MIL/PIT O/U set at 8.5?

Well then...

Uhhh... seems dead-on to me. At max you could argue 1 run off in either direction.

I've been wondering that all day. Makes me want to play the under when all signs point to over.

ji03 · 07-21-10, 05:58 PM

I would certainly lean the over at 8.5.

Two bums pitching that could give up the total each by themselves against offenses that put up a combined 20 runs last night? Just seems fishy, I dunno...

Both pitchers have been lit up pretty well this year by the opposition. Maybe the huge run total yesterday and vegas saying trend reversal. I'm staying away. I was gonna hit the over but now no way. I'd have expected a 9.5 total here.

Yeah, I was expecting this to open up at 9.5 overnight and then be at 10 by the time I woke up. IDGAF, I always play my gut feeling. Over 8.5 it is

GL...when the line is that far off my expectations I run away. Regarding overs, that is.

Weather maybe?

2-2 through 2, so far so good. Just need two runs apiece now to get it to 4-4 and we're set

Hart-Braun-Fielder coming up in the 3rd... hopefully we can smash in a few here

Over hit in 4 innings. Easy money

cheesehead004 · 07-21-10, 07:25 PM

And Wolf basically gives up the entire total himself like I said... sometimes it seems like these linesmakers just throw out these ridiculous lines banking on the notion that we're all idiots

gushman · 07-21-10, 07:29 PM

I agree...in my opinion sometimes if the line looks this easy you have to just suck it up and take it without second guessing yourself

pitt team total was 3.0 -130!

spippen · 07-21-10, 08:11 PM

over 3.0, -130 that is.
