Beginning of the season means uncertainty. For bettors. But for linesmakers as well. Could they be ... guessing?
I quickly went over the last three seasons, first two weeks only (ending April 14th), betting biggest dog on the board. The last two seasons that was up 21+ units. Seems to confirm the expectation.
The season before that was about even, but that included three days in a row with KC@NYY games with Yankees in the -350 range each time.
Anybody have any long term data for this? It's not like the books can adjust the lines.
