    I’m showing Houston Astros -500 today with Verlander against the Tigers
    Easily the biggest favorite I’ve ever seen in baseball, gotta be the biggest ever right?

      I dont get it. Norris is no ace, but not complete trash either.

        They are the biggest baseball favorite I've seen. And the weird thing is, the first two games with the Tigers were competitive. In the first game, the Astros had a big four run first inning and did pretty much nothing the rest of the game (one more run in the 5th). If the Tigers had a few more timely hits, they would've won the first game. And for the second game, the Tigers had bases loaded, no outs in the 3rd. Astros walked in a run and then the Tigers were only able to score one more. Another two hits there and the Tigers likely win the game. And although Verlander is great, Norris isn't so terrible that the Astros deserve even a -400 line.

          we live in The Upside Down


          not too many yrs ago we were all the gasp over when MLB lines cracked -300


          The difference between -500 and -300... is -200 which used to be rare

              They literally just lost as -550 favorites less than two weeks ago.

                Would be poetic justice if they lost against his old team.

                                It’s possible I could have missed this but doing a 3 minute look back I can’t find where they were ever even a -550 favorite

                                      They weren't. They were about -450 last week at Baltimore. But I almost wish that game was in Houston so we really could have seen the biggest favourite ever. Forget -500, we may have seen -600

                                        Been sports gambling for a little while and this is the biggest I've ever seen a regular season MLB game. -554 in the SBR Sportsbook.

                                        Still several hours away from first pitch.

                                              Verlander has worn down late some years he's not young,

                                                  I think I rather like the over 8.5 -101 here

                                                    I knew the man would chime in eventually. I figured the current record was Kershaw

                                                        That's an old Tiger trick, one this team specializes in. Quite frankly, I'm surprised they got the 2 runs that they did.
