If OAKLAND would have LOST last night....

[MadCapper]

What do you think the line would have been today?

Actual (after win)
Red Sox +119
A's -127

If they lost
Red Sox +146
A's -154

What do you think?

Funny you ask this as Strutt and I talked about this last night before the game. If Oakland lost I put them at -140/145 tonight.

 

[MadCapper]

Patrick...Yea...I ask this because when I opened my lines this morning I was pretty surprised to see Zito as such a small favorite at home. I figure its so low because everyone is on Boston to even up the series, like all the others. I don't buy into it. Zito --127 at home, not against Pedro, is very nice value.

I tend to agree with you. Had Boston won the thought would be they have got to win to even the series. Not like the A's are going to lay down now for game two though. In the regular season this would be much higher IMO.

Zito -127 over Wakefield at home? I'll take it. (Hope Fishhead doesn't read this)

Im reading.

Made a statement to McIrish last night that I thought whoever won game one, would win game two. Boy, if there is ever one time where I hope for being wrong, let this be the time.

I would have made some cash

 

[MadCapper]

General - me too. me too.

But whats you think of the line? and tonights game?

Right or wrong a line in game 2 is always shaded towards the team that lost game 1, even in Baskets a 7pt fav in game 1 becomes a 5.5-6pt fav if they won game 1.

 

[MadCapper]

So if the Yankees had won game 1, what would the line have been?

Actual:
Twins +209
Yanks -219

My guess if they had won:
Twins +154
Yankees -162
