GL Jose..I'm leaning Detroit tho..I know it's verlander..but no way should he open up at -140 in Yankee stadium vs nova..
This is an interesting game, hitter. In actuality though, you have to subtract 10 cents from the BetCris opening line since they are a 20 cent book and always tack on the extra 10 cents to the favorite. So the opening line really was -130/+120.
I thought that was a tad high but not outlandish. When you consider Verlander just closed -165 at home against Feliz and the Rangers, you have to consider what he would close if he faced a similar caliber lineup but a worse pitcher (Nova)... -175? -180? Taking that into consideration, the -130 road chalk makes some sense.
My belief though, is that the Verlander/Feliz line was a steam/syndicate play that inflated the line. I see these from time to time, happened just yesterday when Josh Tomlin and the Indians closed -160 against the Royals which was preposterous. My true line for this game was DET -120, so I layed off.
Sorry for the long winded response... I just find this matchup/line interesting and am curious to see where it closes.
