    Two lines that might be speaking for themselves on Monday
    PIT -107
    MIL -110


    Pirates are favored over the red-hot Reds, who now lead the NL Central. McDonald's numbers are better than Arroyo's, but not enough to warrant this line.

    Brewers have a record 13 games worse than the Dodgers, Marcum isn't exactly setting the world on fire, they're on the road, yet they're favored? What?

    Be careful if you're planning on taking the Reds and/or the Dodgers on Memorial Day.

    I'm already on the reds at +100, that line is absurd. Reds win this game more than 50% of the time.

            I don't really think the Pitt line is that far off, but the other one is puzzling. I'll be on Milwaukee.

              Wow just wow, I wouldn't take the brewers as favorites against the padres on the road, much less favorites against the best team in the league


              8-15 on the road for god sakes. At least bet them if you're getting +200. They have no business being favored here

                What makes you think for a split second that the Dodgers are the best team. Stop looking at the standings and use your brain for once.

                You are right, Milwaukee being favorites makes no sense here, yet they are priced as such. Have any idea why? Is Vegas giving away free money here? I'm not saying Milwaukee is a huge bet here, or a lock, but you have to think there is a good reason a mediocre/crappy Milwaukee team is favored in L.A. with the type of pitchers going tomorrow.

                  Really...... I was just about to put the house up for sale! Should I pull-out a line of credit before they foreclose?

                    Sorry I don't believe in conspiracy theories. Milwaukee has no business being favored on the road


                    Also what do you dislike about dodgers? Good offense, great staff and great pen. When kemp returns, they'll win the west by a landslide IMO


                    My guess is Vegas still has their preseason power rankings and believes the dodgers to be a fluke and brewers the same great team from last year. I think milwaukee has been massivey overvalued all year

                      • Reds are 5-0 in their last 5 games as an underdog.
                      • Reds are 8-1 in their last 9 overall.

                              I just saw this thread.

                              We think a like because I was already on those two plays. McDonald is a good pitcher.

                              I also took the Cubs -1.5 (+130) and will chase the Astros today. Teams rarely lose both games of a double header and I'm getting like +130 both games.

                                I don't think Vegas pays for those shiny lights and comped buffets with that strategy.

                                  The steam on Colorado Game 1 surprises me, though I haven't seen the lineups so maybe there's something to it there.

                                      Both cash. Unfortunately, my other bets didn't yesterday.

                                          I didn't think there was anything questionable about the pittsburg line by the way, the pirates have been playing great at home
