Two sides with two favorites?

[killawookie]

How can you have a team like Boston be the ML favorite but then Baltimore Alt RL be the RL favorite?

I'm guessing two different pools adjust depending on volume?

that has to be an error?

im not a huge bases guy, but i cant recall ever seeing that

That´s perfectly normal. Away teams are more likely to win by more runs since home teams don´t play the 9th if they´re ahead.

What? Away teams don't win by more runs due to the home team not playing the ninth. If the away team is ahead, the home team plays the ninth! The away team has already lost if the home team skips the ninth. If anything is true, it is that the away team loses by less ( rather than wins by more ) if the home team doesn't bat in the ninth. For the run line, the dog is given 1 and a half runs. With this edge, the dog is now the favorite, usually.
