Why are the Rangers +200? The Yankees are only 22-19 at home. The Rangers are 22-23 on the road. The home team has as many wins as the road team.

As you know, pitching is 75-80% of the game. Yanks have the better pitcher tonight, but you're right about the price being too high. Texas may indeed be a bargain here. BTW, congrats on your 2nd place finish in June's Bases--quite impressive, especially for a soccer guy.

Thanks HedgeHog. My thinking is that the Yankees are not hitting right now whereas Rangers are hitting lights out so I should have expected a +140 to +150 line especially when one team has a rookie pitcher and the other one a seasoned veteran that beat the Yankees before. I think the Yankees are in a rebuilding mode this year and they will not make the playoffs.

part of them hitting is 105 degree weather, betting against the Yankees every game usually is a good system, but I don't think this line is far off though

The value is always on whomever the Yankees are playing.

It's just a way of scaring away the feeble-hearted from picking Texas. Let's ride Texas all the way. You don't need more than 3 runs to beat the Yankees nowadays. Texas wins and the game goes Under.

Joba vs. Millwood. Think that explains that line.

This is like Joba's third start. I don't understand why he is such a favorite. He got rocked his first time, and blanked the Pirates, so all of a sudden he is a stud?
Texas is the play.

Bear also in mind that he was good his last 3 starts because he faced NL teams which are not good hitting teams, Astros, Padres and Pirates are not quite the hitting machines. He also faced NL pitchers for several of his outs. He is pitching against some pure hitters tonight and also has to face the DH. Nobody knows how good Joba is against AL hitting powers.

Good point, especially since he is facing one of the better lineups in the AL.

Yes I jumped all over the Rangers today, Joba and the Yanks are overrated.

Milwood is a complete failure. The Yankees should cover the over by themselves.

Are they calling a tight strike zone in the Bronx? Joba is all over the place with walks.

Rangers trying to make all three outs at 3rd base in the 2nd inning ... impressive display of horrendous base running!

Joba isn't pitching his best right now. But he keeps weasling out of these jams. Something tells me that the Yanks will win this though.

Teams are usually agressive on the road and try for extra bases when they shouldn't.

I got Texas +200 for first 5 innings because of that. I think the umpires will not let Yankees lose at the end.

I cashed this already for 5 innings ML win at +200. I figured Millwood if he gets the lead he can hold it for 5 innings. Still too early to say the Yankees will win for sure.
