    The line is off by at least 80 cents in this game! JUMP ON IT!!

    The Astros are +210 today and shouldn't be ANY HIGHER than +130 in this game.



    Lyles for Houston has been pitching great for his last 4 starts. He actually only has one real bad start all year. In only one start has given up MORE than 3 runs and gave up only1 run in 3 starts. In his last 4 starts has given up 2 runs once and 1 run the remaining three games. He hasn't given up more than 1 homerun in ANY game all season.

    Meanwhile, Kansas City isn't exactly pitching CY Young in this game.

    Houston in on a 6 game road winning streak.


    Houston actually has a much better record on the road than they do at home at a 12-16 clip. Kansas City isn't much better at home with a 12-15 record.



    After hearing all of those facts you can see why I think that this line is WAYYYYYYY off! The correct line in this game should be around -140 and +120

    No way would the line ever be +120 the books would never get equal action

    Houston still getting no respect from books and they will not until public stops betting blindly against them. Agree that the line is waaay off and this is definitely worth a play. Infact at this point I might start blindly betting the Astros every time their over +200.

    I am going to bite on the +200 for $50 and the -1.5 RRL +300 for $25

    I disagree with this one. They have been undervalued but I feel like people learned their lesson chasing the Angels series... Everything points to Houston losing here. In actuality, I feel like its a baiting people to take the Stro's when they don't have much of a chance

    It was a pass game for me but I expect the Royals to win by 3+ runs

    When I saw kc-220 I thought surely oddsmakers must not be screened for crack.

    The main thing here is that Kansas City should even favored by more than -160 vs a NCAA team. And in this case the pitcher for Houston has been red hot

    Kansas city getting fed the win by Brian Gorman, strike zone has shrunk to the size of a nickel.

    I took Astros. The line was right to be on them regardless of result. Lot of men left on base in this one.

    true. also lol @ guy above who said "b-b-b-but it was a close game late!"

    ...royals still covered the run line. and considering they generally can't hit for shiit and were the home team, that's convincing enough for me. People need to stop being monday morning quarterbacks. I was on Braves last night, they were down 1-0 heading into the bottom of the 8th and give up a grand slam to lose 5-0. It happens. No need to rationalize it with "IT WAS CLOSE LATE AND THE LINE WAS A PICK EM! VALUEEEEEEEEEE"...that's a loser mentality.

    I'm assuming the OP was just having fun, but for those that are new, lines are never more that 20-30 cents off at most. Yesterday Giants +105 was a big mistake and it was only about 20 -25 cents off.

    So Nash u saying -1.5 is good play? I think it is considering the mariners just dropped two to the yanks and now have a chance to sweep n get them bats going again

    Run away from this game.
    3-2 M's, 2-1 M's, something like that.
    I don't want any part of this game.
