Amazing line movement so far. I've done well with the lines, and may even hedge, but never expected such movement that early.
Nebraska vs ASU
I feel ASU is the weakest team in the tourney. Early line I saw was -177 Nebraska, and I thought it might come down. I was WRONG! Took them at -194, and now the line has crossed 200. I sure wish I had the -177 and could buy back. But I do not see a loss here, so 'Huskers win their 1st ever CWS game.
Nebraska -194 5 units
Tennessee vs Florida
SEC matchup that appeals to me because I was so impressed with Tennessee in Super Regionals. I have Vols to win series, and saw no reason to balk at first odds I saw come out. Recent line movement has me thinking I will buy back some of this. Tennessee up past -160 now!
Tennessee -119 7 units
Tulane vs Oregon State
I think Tulane is the team to beat in the tougher group of 4 teams, but the +300 (+260 at Pinnacle) is no value at all. The early price of -116 seems a bit low. OSU may be the "happy to just be here" team. Tulane feels this is their year.
Tulane -116 3 units
Baylor vs Texas
Thought I would like Texas in this one, but Baylor does not mind this matchup and did well in regular season. I expected Baylor to be the favorite and they were, but now Baylor is the +119 and +120 underdog. I may play them, but since I see this one as a tossup, I may pass as well.

SERIES ODDS
Tennessee +700
I like Vols to come out of that group, and got more value than I thought I would get. I know they are +750 now, but I still like the price.
Not sure if they will win it all, but if I have them going into final series I will be sitting on a very nice situation.
Florida +900???
Just in case Tennessee loses to their rival I'm thinking of a saver play (SMALL) here. I respect Nebraska, but the odds are a bit low despite the possible easier game in the opener.
