OAK +120 o/u9

i say your local does not want to book baseball....or he only wants desperate players betting into the lines..you could find value on the lines as well..but value does not help you if the team does not win...look for possible scalps

I think you hit it on the head because I've busted his balls more than a few times about and he don't care. I just play totals. Thank god for bookmaker!!!

it seems most locals i know that still awnser via the phone want nothing to do with baseball....they have to be there or have someone there everyday for everygame....and the volume of calls is about 10% (maybe less?) of what football season brings...i think most locals feel after a long football then basketball season baseball is just not worth the headache....some i know will book bases once the playoffs start as most football bettors will throw some coin around in bases to have some action in between the football games and because all the games are on tv
