So you will have to wait after Game1 and load on better A's series price or you take some initial A's series price at +145? |

#9 Posted: 10/6/2012 6:47:32 PM The latter, Europa, but tonight I'm rooting for the Tigers for the reason you mentioned. The adjusted series price has the potential to be the real pot o' gold!

Good call on the A's not a good bet today, Bator. You think A's will win this series if Verlander should pitch Game 4 or Game 5, he pitched a gem today. A's could not touch him and they might have tough time to face him again. Velander might count for two wins in this series. |

Verlander was favored in each of his last 7 road starts, yet the Tigers lost 5 of those games. The only two times Verlander won was when he got to face an Indians lineup and a Twins lineup both filled with minor league call-ups. Verlander won't be so scary in the beehive of the Coliseum against a tremendous home team that's gone 25-11 since the All-Star break, including winning their last 6 when they absolutely had to. |

i agree that A's are tough at home since 2H, they even swept the mighty Rangers in Oakland, however A's can't afford to bring a 0-2 record returning to Oak. Colisium, they might not see Velander again. They have to win a game tomorrow, but Milone is a +150 dog a good value series price will vaporize pretty fast by going down 0-2. That being said, i will take A's tomorrow and perhaps few bucks on the series.  |

I have a ton of faith in the A's.
First thing first, Bator. i like dogs in MLB postseason and will take Milone +140 (my local line) tomorrow, then see what happens. A's and O's might play in the LCS. |

What is the price you got on A's in the Strip? +155? |

#21 Posted: 10/7/2012 4:28:32 AM So? Then you should pass. You just can't take a baseball team +140 when they're as high as +157 elsewhere (like The Greek). |

Unless I get a price I can't refuse, I won't be betting on the A's in Game 2. I'll be betting the adjusted series price prior to Game 2. |

i agree that you should bet on best price available, but i'm fine if i don't get worse price on my local than from the Strip. Maybe, you should also always bet the dogs at Bovada. 
i have been playing at Strip and my local for years, it's fine. Hope you get A's at +157, Caesars has only +135 now.
btw, i got A's series price at +260 from my book. |
