Why are so many people on the Indians?

I'm surprised to such a disparity in betting volume favoring the Indians tonight. Anyone care to offer a possible reason why? Is there anyone here who likes the Rockies?

Ianetta and Helton both out but there was no point where the line spiked by more than 3 cents in one move. Are both of them really worth that little?

Tomlin is a stud at home but I am not seeing that many people on the Indians on this board, unless I am looking in the wrong places?

Maybe everyone has the same thought process. He's one of the Indians best pitchers, they have lost the last 2 to Colorado at home and don't want to get swept. Baseball is easy sometimes so the percentages don't really matter too much for it. Most places try to break even by the end of the year so unless your seeing like 85% or more, I usually disregard them altogether.

What does them trying to break even by the end of the year have to do with disregarding a high public bet %? 70% on a favorite thats -120 is pretty heavy to one side

My thoughts is the public may get this one right.

I like Hammel tonight. I think he deals actually could see this being a low scoring game and Col pulls out a close one.
