Boston 2.00 Yanks 220 Dodgers 380 Cinn 290 Clev 270 all lost today. 4-5 were visitors. Maybe visitor value with no fans
Big faves bite the dust

Houston closed at -320, and Philadelphia -185, the only 2 large favorites to hit, both at home. Large road doggies with nothing to lose in front of no crowd.

You normally don't see these big favorites this early in the season. Imagine with fans how big these would be.. Also with expanded playoffs good teams aren't as desperate to win.

Good point. During a normal 162 game regular season you would typically see these types of inflated lines right around or shortly after the ASB.

The GOAT handicapper had a miserable day with all high priced faves falling. Of course he will say he swept the board and his goal of going 60-0 for the season.

Should continue to be plenty of dog value for awhile but market will adjust fairly quickly. Lots of reasons for more variance this year, for now I think top of the line #1 starters are not as valuable as the lines imply. They are not sharp in this weird year due to disruption in typical off season preseason prep. They don't get a few weeks or more of low temp low humidity days where they have advantages over hitters to begin a year

There is still some home field prices in also, there is little advantage right now.

Where is the RJ Bell tweet that if you parlayed all those dogs together you would have won XXX dollars?
Isn't that what Randall is on twitter for to let us know about these great better opportunities.

Faves and dogs, home and road teams, overs and under, etc. go through cycles each year so don't overreact or overthink it. I think though there needs to be some remaining home value, maybe slightly less than before. The crowds don't really make a difference in regular season baseball, But batting last, hitting backgrounds, park layout, and even team construction to reflect home park does matter and should be considered.
