    Why Are The Yankees -125?
    They are playing Anaheim Angels on the road. I know the Yankees have been winning against bad teams (jeesh) and Joba Chamberlin is a stud (lol) but -125 on the road against a VERY GOOD team? Something doesn't compute. Leads me to believe Yankees win today.

    Another thing is the Yankees are 8-2 in their last 10 games against teams that are 2 games above .500 combined. Don't get me wrong, you have to win those games, but the Angels are not just a .500 team.

      Because they're the Yankees.

      You almost never see them undervalued.

          LT, this is a Bet Jam line and not some goomba from the Bronx making this line. I am going under the impression that this line wasn't made because "they are the Yankees". Yes, the Yankees have a very good road record, but it has been against bad teams. Joba is not unhittable either. I don't see why the line isn't -115-125 the other way.

            Joba is much better on the road then at home with an ERA around 2.75 or so. Saunders has an ERA of over 7.00 against the Yankees, Vlad and Hunter are questionable for the game, the Yanks have won 13 of 15 and have a 5 game road winning streak and the Angels just got whooped by the Rangers.

            The Yankees should be favored in this game but I still wouldn't touch this game. The Yanks have major trouble against the Angels, the Yankees took 2 out of three in the Bronx earlier this year and although Saunders has a high ERA his record against my boys is 1-1 but the Angels have won 2 out of his three career starts against the Yanks.

              The Rangers are a good team as well. The Yankees have beaten Seattle, Minny, and Toronto. Not exactly great teams.

                I agree with Cash$ comments... The Angels always step their game up against the Yanks but on the flip side their studs are questionable. A huge toss up and I am not going anywhere near it. I do like the over though...
