    Astros -450 today

    The Houston Astros are the biggest favorites of the season today against the Baltimore Orioles. The Astros closed as -450 favorites at Caesars Sportsbook. Other sportsbooks went even higher, listing Houston as high as -550 at Station Casinos sportsbooks in Nevada. The Los Angeles Dodgers were -485 favorites over the Atlanta Braves in 2016, the largest price on a favorite in an MLB game in at least the last 15 seasons.

    It's juiced so high that many probably stayed away simply because of the price alone

    Also 23 the night before I hate playing the same team right after something like that

    That's baseball fellas, and that's the reason why unless the Lord and Savior Himself Jesus Christ is towing the rubber I ain't laying 2:1, or 3:1, or 4:1, or in this case 4.5:1

    If you have the 4 1/2 why do you need the 1.
    Now you have to win 5 straight flat bets to break even.

    This is good advice but I think in this case many are taking the run line and a lot of alt run lines, as well as many multi leg parlays, trying to avoid laying the 4.5.

    Maybe someone would lay 4500 thinking it's an easy grand but I would never lay anything over -180 and that's usually only during NFL. If it's hockey or baseball I'm taking the -1 or -1.5 and hoping for the cover.
