SF -250 is not the parlay of two -125, it means SF win either Game 6 or 7, not that SF have to win both games.
Of course it isn't. Based on the series price SF should be the favorite in both Game 6 and 7.
It's an error because KC will be atleast -125 in Game 7 and they are -135 in Game 6.
If someone wants to take the Giants to win the series, just take them on the ML at plus money for the series wager. If someone wants to take the Royals to win, just take the series price and forget the Moneyline. (Which you'd have to be a fool to play for game 6 when the series price pays 3 dollars more)

I'm a little confused you are saying if someone wants to take Royals to win game six which is currently -137 you would be a fool because you should take Royals for the series which is +200 so if you took that and Royals win game 6 and lose game 7 you get nothing what am I missing here?

hustle man is savvy at calling lakers games, but his math leaves something to be desired. after kc wins game 6, guthrie will surely be favored over hudson in game 7 at 135 or so. this would pay roughly +200 if u rode all monies on kc in both games. not sure what book would have a takeback of +230 on a -250.
oddsmakers know how to calculate these sort of things quite well.

The oddsmakers have San Francisco at -250 to win the World Series but they'll be the underdog in both games 6 and 7.
Clear error on their part to make a team that will be the favorite of at least -125 in both games to be +230
Not an error at all. SF can be the underdog in both games 6 and 7 and still clearly be the favorite to win just one of them and win the series. Is that what you're not understanding?
Look at it this way, let's say for the sake of argument that the Royals will be -130 in both games 6 and 7. To make it easy, let's say you start with $13. In a series bet at the current +200 series line, you would just put the $13 on the Royals to win $26.
A Royals series bet is the direct equivalent to a game 6/7 parlay. At -130 odds you would bet the $13 to win $10 for game 6 and then push that $23 on the Royals again in game 7, $23 to win $17.69. So that way you've started with $13 and won $27.69.
So conclusion #1, never bet the series line with 2 games to go if you like the underdog to win both games. You'll always come out ahead by just betting Game 6 and letting it ride on Game 7.
So by just betting the Royals -130 both games, $13 to win $27.69, you got odds of +213 on them to win the series (27.69/13). The easy way to figure out the Giants odds to win the series is, what is the probability of that Royals NOT winning both games. If they're about 2-1 or +213 to win both games then the Giants are the flip side of that, 1-2 or -213 to win at least one game. Its really just basic math. The series odds are just calculated based on the projected odds of the next two games. Hope that makes sense.

Exactly what I'm saying. Why take the royals in game 6 at -140 when you can take them in the series to win at +230?
If they win game 6 then you can take the giants at plus money on the Moneyline to win game 7 to guarantee profit.
If the Royals lose Game 7 all of the hypotheticals are irrelevant and you lost anyway.
