...they are trying to bait us into 2 games tonight.
1) NY Mets +111 @ Houston -121
2) Tampa Bay +121 @ Oakland -131
First of all, they are giving us an attractive price with the NY Mets against Bud Norris who has been decent lately, but bad over the course of the season. Don't fall for the trap here guys, lay the chalk with the Astros.
Second, yes Oakland has there ace on the hill and Tampa is throwing Sonnantine, but it is clear Vegas wants us taking Tampa by offering an extremely attractive line. Besides one start, Cahill has been virtually untouchable at home, and Tampa is travelling cross county without a travel day. Again, don't fall for the trap, lay the chalk with the A's.
Laying chalk isn't generally my style, but Vegas wants us off the chalk in these two spots.
