Actually, that's the exact opposite of true. Books are undervaluing them after a long skid. The books want to juice the hell out of whoever is playing them so guys such as yourself say, "The Astros suck! I'm betting on the Reds," etc. whoever their opponent is. Just as they are overvaluing the A's right now. LT is a smart cat and knows what he's talking about.

Baseball is a long season. There are value in teams like Houston, the Twins, the Mariners. You just have to find the spots. LT had the lead in the 9th twice as he mentioned. He picked good spots. Look at the Columbus Blue Jackets in hockey at the end of last season. Were the worst team in the league and finished the season winning 5 of their last 6 games. They won games @ St. Louis (best home record in hockey), against Detroit, and Florida ( 2 playoff teams). They were large dogs in all these games...good bettors take advantage of spots such as this.
