Like the rest of the world, I bit on the Rangers today. I almost laid off because the line was dropping like a rock right before gametime, but I bet on them anyway. They may end up winning this game, but it's looking more and more like either Vegas or the "sharps" knew something about this one. That's the only thing that explains Texas getting dominated by one of the worst pitchers in the last 5-10 years.
If that's true, why were they -170 about an hour before first pitch? You would think the line would have been much lower to get people to bite and play them. Like I said, the line dropped quite a bit, but it's weird they would open it so high if they knew their team had the flu. And you would think there would be reverse line movement as well. They still may squeeze out a W though, so maybe Vegas was being cautious?
