Wow as a Halo's fan, I love beating the second best team in LA. I was talking to my friend on the phone and I was like, Brad Penny AND HE'S ONLY LAYING 110? I was like, ok, I smell a rat, but he was pitching well all year, hard not to take him laying that little. Anything about the statistics that could have pointed to this happening? Only other thing I saw was the -135 opening line bet all the way down to -108 at some places so money was coming in on the Angels before the start of the game.
That's what I would like to figure out. If we could figure out this aspect, we'd be rolling in the money. This was a surprise last night, I mean if they looked at the numbers, so many things pointed to Penny (focusing on the Penny/Santana matchup) and looking at their last few starts & historical information. The only stat that was positive for Santana was that he's handled himself at home.
I just don't understand why everyone flocked and bet on LAA instead. :think2:
As for the books putting out the original line of -130/-135... that'd be what I would have put out myself to try to get some LAA action on +120/+115 at first. End up looks like so many was on LAA so the line "had to come down".
