    the baseball moneylines seem so low

    compared to basketball and fooball

    i mean the highest baseball money line i can ever recall is around -400 or slightly higher

    whereas of course the baskets and foots go up to what -2000

    or whatever depending if ml is offered

    a baseball lline say -300 or higher seems almost like a sure thing

    whereas baskets or football you have to go to -500 or higher to feel fairly secure

    experts chime in on this question?

    for instance is say red sox with beckett pitching
    over say kc -450

    really that much more risky than say boston celtics -3000? at home
    over say miami or ny knicks

    That is because the best MLB team will go around 100-62 in a given year and the worst team will go around 62-100.

    Everything else being equal, the breakeven point with those records is only +/-161, which is why MLB sharps love betting dogs.

    Great point LT, every dog with high probability will win at least a game in series.
