Mo,
I do have money on SF.
Call me crazy but ill tell ya why.
A road team -200 against a young team that noone but themselves believe in.
Given that even the worse teams hit at a 35% clip, if you played this 100 times and took the Dbacks, you may win in the win/loss column, but would lose a considerable amount of money in givin up that much juice. I would never play a ml at -160 or higher in regular season, much less April.
Thus, guys get buried betting these big road faves over a long term.
