That's what I understand it as. As long as you're looking at the 5Dimes overnight/morning lines and not just any sportsbook's opening lines.

Actually....I think he meant when they post the .10 line at around 9:00 eastern to watch what the line does and follow that. The Brewers went from +140 to +134 at 9:12, which I'm guessing is when the .10 lines went up. If that's the case, I can see how he says the Brewers are the play.

You look at the first .10 line compared to the last .05 overnight line. Now that I've looked at it a little more I think that's what he's saying.

Now you could also say that the Florida line dropped too, so they should be a play. But I'm guessing that since they only went from -145 to -144, you look at the bigger jump in the line and go with the Brewers.

So the braves over 8.5 opened at +100 now it's +118 on matchbook. The under opened at-120 and is still at -120. Does this mean anything?

where are you seeing them moving from .10 to .05.... looks like they are .01 cent lines the entire way... ie: -139, -141, instead of -140, or -145 etc....
