No NYY/MIN lines?

whitty · Jul 9, 2009

I'm fairly new to sports betting so maybe I've missed something up to this point, but there doesn't seem to be odds available for the NYY/MIN game for the 9th except on betfair. Any ideas?

maybe its otb due to a pitchers change or lineup

Most books are delaying hanging a line because Aceves is starting for NYY, and they are afraid of hanging an early 'soft' line.
For the casual baseball observer, Juan Aceves is a lights out 2to 3 inning reliever.
He is not a starter,( he has only made four career starts) therefore nobody knows how long he can go.
Probably five innings, which means the bullpen has to go four innings.
Books need some extra time to analyze the Yankee bullpen.
Who's available, for how many innings?
Coke, Hughes, and Mo were used last night.
Mo has a 2 inning save last night and probably is not available.

This isn't a typical Hallady v. Sabathia game where the books can hang a number in 15 minutes, they are being cautious with Aceves.

p.s.
The lines that are available for this game has Liriano 11-10 pickem

they had the delay b/c they didn't have Minnesota's Liriano listed as the starter until late last night....seems like most books wait until 10-11 am the next morning in this situation....a few still manage to put them up once listed

Correct, even though Liriano was 'announced' as the starter earlier, it wasn't 'official' until the evening.
And, like I said, Aceves was a major factor in the delay as well.
I'm staying far away from this game, it can go either way.
