    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

    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.

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