I agree completely Det could win this game, I just personally like the M's & like that the pub is backing a-130 fave on the road at a 90%+ clip.....GL
When they lose just realize that you bet on the Mariners. Tough to bet on a team that has already thrown in the towel and it's not even the ASB.
As for public #'s... really can't be used on a consistent basis, and rarely works as a method to try and make a profit. Here's an example from Wagerline...
In June, teams that had 60%+ on one side were 116-83 (-6.15 Units)
However, if you faded each of those sides you were 83-116 (-3.29 Units)
The BOOK always wins, no matter who wins.
