What's with the MIN/LAA RL?

Rangers were -165 last night with a +120 RL on a total of 9.

Now the Angels are -160 with a RL of only +101 on a total of 7.5? Makes no sense.

Maybe it's just me but some on the RL's this year seem to be on the low side....A few times now I went to look at various runlines and they were about 20 to 30 cents off from where I thought they should be.

Its because they're on the road.....makes a huge difference in the run line due to the extra inning you get in the ninth. Line is correct.

Whenever a favored team is on the road, if you take the -1.5 run line, its always about .50 to .60 cents savings off the whole game line. When they're at home, you get about a .80 to .90 cents savings.

Magic nailed it. Its all about getting that last inning. May not matter today, but long term yadxa yada...

I see. Don't usually play RL's -- just happened to notice it today.
