    Lock the line told the whole story on this one. I took a stab last night at + then doubled down today once I seen the insane movement. Great eyes. This game can only be explained by the line books been telling a lot lately keep it up! Liked to hear your take on angels tonight I'm thinking about it. Santana seems to get crushed against them.

    Thanks, piler.

    The Twins are a better team and Santana is the toughest pitcher to get a hit against in all of MLB yet the Angels are the favorite.

    That's the condensed version of why I have a unit on Angels.

    How do they know? How do the books know an ace pitcher like Santana is gonna completely shit the bed? As you have stated, this happens all the time where the line tells the story.

    To be honest, I had no idea this was a thing.

    How many current Angels were around during these historical Santana beat downs?

    When you boil it all down, this line was very fishy: the Twins are a better team, the Twins had the pitching edge yet the market was moving against the Twins and ultimately the Angels morphed into the favorite.

    E= mc2

    I feel like I explained the reasons for this play more than my previous 86 plays combined. But here's more ammo:

    Santana had a 0.31 road ERA before tonight and he was the dog

    That's an age old question. You see it in all sports though. Browns going into Gillete stadium and only getting 3 (hypothetical). You better like the Browns or you better not play it.

    I'm starting to think that this is true, but I can never bring myself to back a team I think should lose just because the line movement says to. LOCK is doing it and winning so maybe I should stop being so stubborn.

    I took Brewers FF. Are you banking on the fact the Giants have scored a lot of runs on the road lately and the Brewers bullpen sucks?

    He doesn't play elementary stuff like that. He's playing the fact that the Giants are on the road with Samardzja, going against a pitcher with an ERA under 2, and still favored.

    But isn't that the point? Why are the Giants favored? If it is such a clear victory for the Brewers, why are the books giving them free money?
