Considering the odds Cards are in this first series against LA, they are actually a decent price at +315.
If you bet 100 on them in that series alone you would get back 48 profit. Then if you parlay that 148 onto the National Leagues odds of +118 you would collect 322.64 (222.64 profit), so right around 93 buckz for that second series. That would mean to correlate out, they would have to be a -161 fave in that series. I would say they are at least -180 if not -200 against both those teams as they are against LA, especailly considering LA has much better pitching than both those teams.
But if you do out all the math on every team, I think you might find, the odds on all of them will correlate out to a better than expected return.

want, St. Louis would NOT be -180 or -200 against Houston. LA hus much better pitching than Houston? You sure 'bout that??? I don't think STL would be more than 130 or -140 tops against Houston. And I'd bet Houston at that price. I'd say around -180 against Atlanta.
Houston is/was the best value on the board -- I played em at 10-1.

LA has the best bullpen in the majors, next to maybe Ana. How do you think those teams have so many come from behind wins? The starters give up a run or two, and then the bully shuts everyone down, giving them a chance to come back.
As for the series pricing, that is a seven game series, so maybe -160 would be closer than -180. Which I guess is what Pinnacle is counting on considering that -161 would be a perfect correlation.
But then again it all depends. I am not so sure LA doesn't beat Cards in that series. No, I am not a homer. I just know that LA seems to be having one of those seasons of destiny.
